Beyond the South, a Christian Science Monitor survey showed Goldwater leading Johnson in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Maine, Kentucky, Indiana, Nebraska and Kansas. Critical California still seemed doubtful for Barry. California Secretary of State Frank Jordan, a Republican who felt Barry was already attracting a good deal of new support, said: "There's only one reason for it-and that's the protest against what's going on in civil rights." Democratic State Chairman Eugene Wyman admits that "it's going to be a tough fight. The people who support Goldwater have got the fervor...

There he married Josephine Williams, a Nebraska-born nurse who had contracted tuberculosis and gone for her health to Arizona-where she still lives, active and sprightly at 89.

Later, in his complaints about the resulting tendency of U.S. courts to become quasilegislatures...
...precocious son of a local judge in Lincoln, Neb. "My blamed memory," he used to say. was so photographic that as a boy he broke up Sunday school classes by rattling off a chapter of the Bible after only one reading. At 12, he entered the University of Nebraska, at 17, emerged as a first-rate botanist, and between studying and practicing the law, he found time to earn a Ph.D. in botany and direct a botanical survey of Nebraska, which now boasts a rare lichen called roscopoundia...
