...onetime Princeton basketball player who practiced law for ten years in New Richmond, Wis., Doar is a model of raw courage. At Ole Miss with Chief U.S. Marshall McShane, when mobs tried to block the entrance of the university's first Negro student, James Meredith, Doar risked his own life three times to contact the besieged feds in the campus Lyceum.

On another occasion, Johnson cajoled Pierre into climbing aboard a horse at the L.B.J. ranch, and while Salinger sat there like Humpty Dumpty, Lyndon whooped, "Ole Tex Salinger!" Salinger is a man of humor, but he does not like to be made a fool of, and it was only a matter of time before he would leave Lyndon...
