The piece argues that Nixon's popularity remains high in the South as federal desegregation shifts from court orders to administrative means and back, with Jerris Leonard warning against sped up integration.

The state AG rules boxes and tubes bearing a publication name on the roadside violate Vermont anti-sign law.
