...strong choice for Democratic floor leader in 1953. But a couple of years ago, other duties began to keep him busy at caucus time, even as the Southerners were meeting in vital civil rights strategy sessions. This year, to their discomfiture, he opened the 86th Congress with a quick drive to weaken the filibuster-fostering Rule 22, followed up a fortnight later with his own civil rights bill...
