Ed Crump holds no public or political office, but his Shelby County Democratic Organization is probably the smoothest, most efficient political mechanism in the U.S. In his 37 years of benign if iron despotism, he has given Memphis citizens almost everything but the right to vote for a candidate of their own choosing -a luxury he firmly believes that few but the maladjusted miss anyhow...
