...even if all the Republican leaders who oppose Goldwater were to gather around Scranton, would they be able to stop Barry's bandwagon? There is deep doubt that they could. "It would take a superhuman effort," says Maine's Fred Scribner, general counsel to the Republican National Committee. Says General Lucius Clay, an authentic Republican kingmaker: "It's late, very late...
Lucretia Engle, wife of popular incumbent Democratic Senator Clair Engle, who was forced to withdraw from the primary after his second brain operation since August, came out for Sal inger. And Jackie Kennedy said: "President Kennedy valued his advice and counsel on all major matters." Salinger's past association as press secretary to Jack Kennedy clearly was his best issue. He constantly recalled the crises through which he had gone with the late President.

...Director-Counsel Marshall pierced "separate but equal" segregation when the Supreme Court ordered Heman Sweatt admitted as the first Negro at the University of Texas Law School and told the University of Oklahoma to stop isolating Negro Graduate Student George McLaurin. Sweatt and McLaurin opened the way for 1954's Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court decision against school segregation. After that came a virtually unbroken string of Inc. Fund triumphs against segregated buses, beaches, golf courses, hospitals and courtrooms-the major victories of the U.S. civil rights revolution...
