Nobody had to. Dirksen got expected support from most Republicans and Southern Democrats, but he ran into a formidable obstacle in the form of North Carolina Democrat Sam Ervin, whose concern for the Constitution rivals Dirksen's passion for prayer. "For God's sake," bellowed Ervin, "and for freedom's sake, let us not vest arbitrary permission power in school boards." When the vote came, Dirksen never really had a prayer. Though he won a 49-to-37 majority, he fell nine short of the two-thirds margin required to amend the Constitution...
Lady Bird's fervor and her whole program may seem a little corny, but they have touched a genuine national concern. Into the small White House office that she has set up to handle the beautification drive come up to 400 letters a week and countless phone calls.

...even though the amendment is dead for this session of Congress, the danger remains that Dirksen will cling to the hope of passing it at some future date, and may devote his considerable power as minority leader to his crusade. Dirksen's concern is needed for more important legislation. With President Johnson's once-formidable legislative phalanx fragmenting, the Administration needs Republican help badly in Congress. Dirksen has the ability to deliver the kind of bipartisan support that Johnson himself gave President Eisenhower, or to with-hold it -- as he did over the new civil rights bill. With vital legislation...
Writer-Director Carlos Saura's achievement is to arouse concern for a markedly unsympathetic crew in a credible horror story, drawing upon the well-documented history of mankind's particular gift for committing violence against his own species...
