CORE & Crackpots. Adding to the dissidence is the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), primarily a Northern organization of whites and Negroes that makes only occasional forays into the South under the leadership of James Farmer. It organized the first Freedom Ride from Washington to New Orleans, but withdrew after mob violence in Birmingham and let Snick's dedicated campaigners ride on to Jackson, Miss. The group suffers fragmented leadership and a membership described by an N.A.A.C.P. leader as "a bunch of loonybirds and crackpots...

Breaking through the angry, milling mob. Smith, 46, and Urquhart, 43, ran into the house, where the first guests were already sipping their drinks. The screaming troops were right on their heels; grabbing the hapless pair, they smashed Urquhart's nose, pommeled Smith into submission, then dragged them both toward a truck outside.
