...welcome on the White House doormat, the Wednesday Club, egged one another on in their defection. A group of Columbia Law School students unearthed the sensational statistic that Carswell had been reversed in 40 per cent of his 15,000 decisions. And inside the Senate it was the Dump Carswell Movement headed up by Senator Bayh for the Domocrats and Senator Tydings for the Republicans that pulled the final levers.

If one does not look beyond the veneer of a "movement," one will not expand emotional contacts. And it is far easier to dump on things and people than to allow them an emotional hearing.
