John Drescher's Triumph of Good Will is a study of a pivotal North Carolina gubernatorial election in 1960 in the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) school desegregation decision and the rise of white defiance to Brown's implementation. Education also generated debate due to the 1957 launch of the Soviet artificial earth satellite, Sputnik I. Educators and politicians argued as to whether American education was inferior to Soviet education. Southern politicians protested that racial integration would compromise the quality of education for white children and drive whites to private schools. The campaign in the Tar Heel State married two of the nation's most volatile issues. Major candidates in the Democratic first primary included Terry Sanford, an attorney and political activist; John Larkins, a lawyer and state legislator; Malcolm Seawell, the attorney general; and I. Beverly Lake, a former Wake Forest University professor. All four candidates were segregationists, but only Lake made segregation his chief issue. Larkins and Seawell were considered fiscal conservatives while Sanford gambled by vowing to raise taxes to boost teacher pay
