...censure the faculty for its stand last week, one professor snorted: "If they're serious about telling the university what the faculty has a right to say, they can have their university without two-thirds of its faculty." At Mercer University in Macon, Emory University History Professor Bell Ervin Wiley, lecturing on Robert E. Lee, said: "It is inconceivable that Lee, if he were alive today, would advocate resistance to national authority or in any way abet social turmoil or racial hatred...
...half-deserted floor of the Senate one night last week, a group of Senators huddled tightly around the lanky person of the human calculating machine known as Lyndon Baines Johnson. Some of them glanced up as North Carolina's jolly Sam Ervin went by. Chuckled old Judge Ervin: "That scene reminds me of something from Hamlet: 'Foul deeds will rise, though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.'

...what he had never done in the six and a half years of his administration : throw his great public prestige into a raging congressional fight-this time into a long, long fight for labor reform with teeth.

G.O.P. Leader Charlie Halleck, coming from a White House conference, called the bill "a diluted version of a watered-down bill," thus fired the opening shot in the battle to force the Democratic majority in Congress to pass a strong bill or take the blame for none...
