There's a book out about the Little Rock Central High struggle now that purports to re-examine what happened, largely sympathetic (I'm told--haven't read it yet) to Faubus and claiming that interracial sexuality was the key driver behind white racism. I'm going to read it eventually--has anyone else? It's _Turn Away Thy Son_, by Elizabeth Jacoway.
