...should the director be? Ideally, he ought to be someone acceptable to the South with a good record on integration. Such men are hard to find, and President Johnson was perplexed. Then Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, an ex-Governor of North Carolina, suggested LeRoy Collins, 55, an ex-Governor of Florida. During six years in office (1955-60) in Tallahassee, his native city, Collins had talked a fair-to-middlin' civil rights game while doing little to implement...
Traditionally outside this command is the power of federal judges to enforce their orders by trying errants for criminal contempt without a jury. Last week the Supreme Court again followed the tradition by denying jury trials to Mississippi's ex-Governor Ross R. Barnett and his successor, Paul B. Johnson Jr., both charged with what Justice Arthur Goldberg called the "extraordinarily serious" crime of obstructing federal orders to desegregate the riot-torn University of Mississippi...
...failure of Romney's tax program probably cost him more votes. A poll taken for ex-Governor Swainson surprisingly showed Swainson ahead of Romney, 50.1 per cent to 49.5 in the gubernatorial contest.

All three are segregationists-Johnson the most vociferous, Coleman the least. Johnson and Sullivan advocated opposing the Kennedy Administration and all its works. Coleman, while decrying the spread of federal power, talked soothingly of bringing "peace and tranquilly." From the start, Coleman...
...Playing an increasing role as cultural centers in their communities, colleges are sponsoring lectures open to town as well as gown, and now account for at least 50% of the business handled by the three nationwide lecture bureaus. At Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vt., last week, Vermont's ex-Governor Sherman Adams, a veteran of six years of power and pillory as Eisenhower's "Assistant President." gave his appraisal of the pressures on a U.S. President: "Great decisions are not the result of popular mandate, but of presidential judgment. It is the President's duty to stand...
