Wilson congratulated Johnson on his "great victory" in the November election, and referring to his own narrow win, observed wryly: "It may be if we took the elections as seriously as you, we would have had a majority like yourself. All 1 can say is, if the British people were free to express their votes in your election, your majority would have been even better than...
...Perhaps it was convenient for COFO's opponents, but I see no real significance, even in terms of "white standards." But it is possible that the COFO workers would have made more progress if they had made the sacrifice of cleanliness.

"adopt leadership which clearly represents a broad view of Republicanism and practices a policy of inclusion rather than exclusion." They said the party should "vigorously oppose all forms of narrow political radicalism, whether right or left." Some Governors felt this skirted the dump-Burch issue. But three of the most influential men there-Pennsylvania's Scranton, New York's Rockefeller and Michigan's Romney-insisted that the resolution was really a clear-cut demand for Dean Burch...
