...them shared a common characteristic that Dean marked down next to each of these names a star. Senator Herman Talmadge last week asked what the stars meant. Said Dean: "Just my first reaction-[that] there certainly are an awful lot of lawyers involved here. So I put a little asterisk beside each lawyer."-"Any significance to the star?" Talmadge persisted. "No," answered Dean, "that was just a reaction of mine, the fact that how in God's name could so many lawyers get involved in something like this?"
