...University of California's President Clark Kerr spoke at Berkeley, where much of the student unrest started; it would all be forgotten, said Kerr rather comfortably, by the time the class of '65 held its 50th reunion. At Tufts, Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach declared that he was all for protest as long as it was meaningful, but "it becomes pointless, silly and even harmful when it serves only as a substitute for goldfish swallowing or a panty raid." Katzenbach cautioned against forming rigid convictions on insufficient evidence, and recalled Oliver Cromwell's words to the Church...
...afraid to defend unpopular people or unpopular causes-even if their efforts cost them dearly in money and community standing. In Birmingham, for example, Lawyer Paul Johnston last week began to pay the price of voluntarily representing FBI Informer Gary Rowe (by indirect request of U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach) in a lawsuit filed by Ku Klux Klan Lawyer Matt Murphy Jr. "It's not too popular to be involved in such matters around here," said one lawyer. Johnston was voted out of his eminent law firm by his prosperous partners-including his father and brother-thereby joining...

Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, and Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen, who questioned the constitutionality of Teddy's amendment...
Test Case. For three weeks, the bill crawled along in the Senate while the leaders and the Northern liberals waged an embarrassing battle over the issue. The spectacle was hugely enjoyed by Southerners, themselves too weak and divided to mount their own filibuster. Last week Dirksen, Mansfield and Katzenbach provided what they hoped would be an acceptable compromise. The anti-poll-tax amendment would be dropped. But a substitute clause would direct the Attorney General to file "forthwith" in Federal court a test case designed to outlaw any poll tax whose purpose or effect is to deny the right...
