Utah is a peaceful state by any measure. Negroes make up three-fifths of 1% of Utah's population. Yet a Bear Lake resort owner declares that "the politicians ought to move the Negroes back to the South, where they will be happy." A Salt Lake City Mormon bishop says of youthful protesters: "They have been infected by drugs, and the drugs were supplied by Mexicans, Negroes or Chinese...

Roland Harriman, Averell's brother, is a partner in the bank. As for Sun Valley, Averell Harriman started it 32 years ago as one of the U.S.'s first major ski resorts. (The railroad sold...
