Simmering Summer. Bitter postmortems pinned the blame variously on the Senate's Democrats, one-third of whom voted against cloture; on the Republicans, two-thirds of whom did the same; on President Johnson, who did not twist arms with his usual vigor to line up support; on civil rights leaders, who fell to quarreling among themselves, failed to lobby effectively...
...would be pleasant to assume that Dirksen's promise to fight on for school prayer is no more than the bitter epilogue to the story of the amendment's defeat.

Clearly, he would never win a prize for handsomeness, but there is a sensitivity in his eyes and warmth in his face that is altogether captivating." One of the few royal portraits by Goya outside of Spain, the painting...
