"Hugh Bentley, a layman, decided to try to fire the churches into action against the sin and criminal activity in 1946. Bentley stressed that Phenix City's problem was a moral one and that until the moral breakdown was changed, things would not improve. January 9, 1951, Bentley's house was blown up with thirty-six sticks of dynamite, however, neither he nor any of his family was seriously injured."
"In 1954, Albert Patterson, a sixty-year-old Phenix City lawyer, adopted his campaign crusade to be cleaning Phenix City's gambling machine. At this time, Phenix City was described by Life Magazine as the "wickedest city in the United States, . . . everything from gambling to murder to arson to fraud." (Ibid.) June 1, 1954, Patterson won the Democratic primary."

From the Paper
"Ethical Decision Making In Life Situations
Life Situations
Every human being must have certain goals and principles that direct his or her life and shape his or her conduct (Phenix, 1961, p. 61). Phenix argues that every person needs an innate system of ideals and values in order to have a satisfactory way of life because the quality of our everyday existence depends upon the intensity, creativity, and persistence with which we pursue our personal goals and aims (Phenix, 1961, p. 61). Such intensity and creativity will be a result of the goals and values that we cherish. When we lack such a system, then our personal existence loses its zest and meaning, life seems stale and unprofitable, and personality breaks down for want of an integrating objective (Phenix, 1961, p. 61)."
