...welcome on the White House doormat, the Wednesday Club, egged one another on in their defection. A group of Columbia Law School students unearthed the sensational statistic that Carswell had been reversed in 40 per cent of his 15,000 decisions. And inside the Senate it was the Dump Carswell Movement headed up by Senator Bayh for the Domocrats and Senator Tydings for the Republicans that pulled the final levers.

As a minor park employee 18 years ago, Johnson was appalled at New York City's use of Jamaica Bay as a garbage dump and worked to lessen the visual pollution by planting native shrubs, bushes and trees. Now one of the major bird-watching locations in Eastern North America, the refuge has been proposed as the site of a federal recreation area.
