From such a splendid beginning, the British royal collection came to fill six castles and grow into the most valuable private collection in the world. From its 50 Canalettos to its 200 Da Vinci draw ings, the crown's choice is still an unnationalized treasure.

Democratic leaders and President Johnson see no need to upset the great bulk of precedent when they stand to make such gains from the normal workings of the system. But there will be one important dispute, and two Congressmen--John Bell Williams of Mississippi and Albert Watson of South Carolina--may lose their seniority as Democrats because they publicly supported Barry Goldwater for the Presidency...
