...they hanged my daddy, mother was just A Face in the Crowd." To the dismay of NBC brass, he lashed out at the New York World-Telegram's Critic Harriet Van Home because she accused him of a lack of brashness ("I don't know what that broad meant").

...empower the U.S. Attorney General to step in and seek injunctions to prevent not only violations of voting rights but violations of any other federally guaranteed civil rights, e.g., education in integrated schools. Many a Northerner (including Dwight Eisenhower) had already made it clear that this was much too broad a sweep for a bill which the Justice Department had advertised as a right-to-vote bill. When New Mexico's liberal Democrat Clinton Anderson expressed doubts about Part III, Johnson encouraged Anderson to write down his doubts in a compromising amendment, encouraged him also to confer with Vermont...
