But he moved purposefully to consolidate the new coalition of moderates who helped him hold the line against the Byrdmen's drive for some last, Faubus-style gesture of defiance. "I don't feel defeated." said Almond, "just realistic." Carefully he picked 40 legislators for a commission to frame further resistance measures.
