...Hats off to Senator Dirksen and his stand on repeal of Section 14(b) [Oct. 1]. My disgust with the 89th Congress and its faceless mass of yes men has been somewhat alleviated by Dirksen's refusal to knuckle under to the autocracy of the Johnson Administration.

And millions of newly middle-class Americans have been buying, selling and bequeathing property with minimal legal help-either because they fear high fees or have no idea of how to find and hire lawyers they can trust.

...Deep South Congressman stood up in the House of Representatives to observe the 100th anniversary of the Ku Klux Klan. He asked: "Shall we permit faceless men, under cover of robes and darkness, to imperil the liberties of our people?"
