...Rosalynn whispered that to him one night, they should take away the pillow. If he found the notion in that special library in his little study, they ought to have a book burning. The single six-year term is an idea that appeals to troubled politicians-Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Connally. Most of them never muttered it until they got into some difficulty. Carter may be in political peril, but he need not abandon the Constitution...
...sponsored a bill that would allow Indians to gather feathers legally, but only if they complied with four pages of regulations. Pluckers would have to 1) prove that they are Indians; 2) obtain permits from the Ohio Division of Wildlife; 3) remove plumage only from birds that had been found dead; and 4) not give away any feathers, though they could be bequeathed to another Indian.

...also found time to teach medicine and pathology at the Cornell University medical college and to rejoin the faculty at Rockefeller University. Along the way, Thomas and his wife had three daughters. In spite of growing administrative burdens, he had published more than 200 technical articles on infectious diseases and related matters. The corner office, it turns out, was never Thomas' goal: "I made each change because it offered better opportunities for research, because I found the scientific opportunities irresistible...
