Assuming complete freedom from hemorrhage or infection, 'an abdominal wound is han- dled today as expeditiously as a gallbladder operation.

IF THERE is any bright spot in Wallace's ill fortune, it is that he occurred in an era when surgery has achieved al- most complete mastery over penetrating abdominal wounds. .

Carter, a right-wing radio announcer and founder of his own Ku Klux Klan organization, was a man with a dark, troubling past. "He had a long history of violence, in fact, it’s not an exaggeration to call him something of a kind of psychopath," says Wallace biographer Dan Carter. Asa Carter had shot two men in a dispute over money just a few years before joining Wallace’s campaign, and his Klan group shared his volatile temperament. "In one eighteen-month period," recounts Dan Carter in his George Wallace biography, "his followers joined in the stoning of Autherine Lucy on the University of Alabama campus, assaulted black singer Nat King Cole on a Birmingham stage, beat Birmingham civil rights activist Fred Shuttlesworth and stabbed his wife, and, in what was billed as a warning to potential black ‘trouble-makers,’ castrated a randomly-chosen, slightly retarded black handyman." Political observers noted a new punch in Wallace’s stump speeches during the ‘62 campaign, and Carter was credited for the change. "[Asa Carter] was this little quiet guy who always looked like he needed a shave," remembers Alabama journalist Wayne Greenhaw. "He was a hell of a writer.

A lot of us have, I reckon. Kept him from doing a lot of it, but at least he really, honestly be lieved in what he said and he said it at a time when it was unpopular. So I've been a fan of his a long time. Really kind of a tragic figure. Walter De Vries: <e±stma-f^W*** • Baxley: Yeah. W.D.V.: How's he doing now? Baxley: Oh, he's penniless. Lives on a little pension that Wallace got passed for him. Doesn't pay any bills. They even took his tele phone out of his house. Sad, tragic figure. W.D.V.: Did he do any campaigning? Baxley: Oh, as a joke he puts his name on a ballot. Just a little joke. Really. .. to goad Wallace. W.D.V.: What did your father do? Baxley$ He was a lawyer and a circuit judge down in south Alabama. Very nonpolitical. He was a student of the law. Real, old scholar. Didn't know anything about politics. Didn't care anything about it. Hated the fact that I was interested in it. W.D.V.: How did you get involved in it? Baxley: Well, when I was a kid the only two things I wanted to be was either a major league baseball player or a politician. And I found out I might not be a good politician, but I'm a better politician than I was a ball player, I reckon.
