...sleek, expensive wardrobe, the thin cigar, the grim scowl when offering some dire pronouncement, the somehow roguish smile when lighthearted, make him easy to caricature, easy to suspect of ulterior motives. As a Congressman, he could be sly in good causes and in partisan ones. When he overthrew Charles Halleck as House minority leader, he managed to create the impression that he and Gerald Ford had split the rebel forces. Actually, they were united, and the putative split was a ploy. Once, just after Minority Leader Ford and his eminence grise. Laird, gave a critical talk on Viet Nam policy...
Biased Toward Blame. When forced to answer the question, as they frequently are, psychological experts will often fall back on the premise of their training. Wisconsin's Halleck notes that the average psychiatrist is slightly biased toward blame because in day-to-day practice he has found that "if he is ever going to help people overcome their difficulties, he must constantly implore them to assume responsibility for their actions."

He helped toss out Charles Hoeven as chairman of the House Republican caucus in 1963 and joined the move to upset Charles Halleck as minority leader in 1965. Both were replaced by Michigan's Gerald Ford. When Ford wanted to give Goodell his reward, Republican veterans gave Goodell his comeuppance. Overriding Ford, they refused to make the ambitious, somewhat abrasive Goodell either the Republican whip or head of the Policy Committee...
