Claude Sitton’s reprise on Albany in the next Sunday’s New York Times, headed “Rivalries Beset Integration Campaign,” traced the quarrels to the sit-ins of 1960. In a more sensational article entitled “Confused Crusade,” Time quoted Roy Wilkins in scathing appraisal of SNCC: “They don’t take orders from anybody; they don’t consult anybody. They operate in a kind of vacuum: parade, protest, sit-in…When the headlines are gone, the issues still have to be settled in court.”
