Mississippi Burning: Reflections 1

On the FBI agents' personalities:

Agent Ward:
-straightforward, buisnesslike (always speaks very calmly, for example)
-not familiar with racial relations in the South (attempted to interview a Black man in public)

Agent Anderson:
-laid-back at first (first thing he did after eaving the sheriff's office was to go into the barbershop and the hairdresser to chat)
-uses subtle methods at first (contrast his asking about seemingly normal things with Ward's straightforward approach)
-later uses harsh and cruel methods (kidnapping the mayor, for example)

What I would do:
-try to be as hidden as possible, n order not to draw attention
-persuade locals to help me
