If Bolling could keep his civil-rights ploy undiscovered until past the parliamentary deadline for amendments, he could then reveal its presence and split the ranks of Southern conservatives. Craftily, Rayburn's strategists laid a booby trap for Southerners who were routinely hunting for civil-rights hookers by leaking a phony tip to Columnist Drew Pearson that...
