Still, President Johnson may be wary of losing the virtual (and highly effective) leader of Senate Democrats. But Humphrey (who is indeed good but not indispensable) would gladly exchange his place in the Senate for the Vice-Presidential chair in the Cabinet room. And by almost any standard he deserves it.

And when it came to tacking duels, he and his crew strutted some impressive stuff. In one contest...
...strong lobby and monopolistic control over an industry vital to the American public, A.T. & T. has virtual control of the U.S. itself. Government agencies may be finally realizing the awesome power exercised by this company and taking measures to prevent a further contempt of the democratic free-enterprise system. Thank...
