Most Democratic members of the overwhelmingly Democratic 89th (294 to 139 Republicans in the House, 67 to 33 in the Senate) viewed these accomplishments with understandable partisan pride. Rhapsodized House Speaker John McCormack: "This is the Congress of fulfillment, the Congress of our accomplished hopes, the Congress of our realized dreams. The Democratic Party has again found political and social immortality."

Under James Russell Wiggins, a onetime Post managing editor, a group of scholarly writers achieve a force and clarity that stand out in sharp contrast with the inconclusive, ambiguous prose of most of their competitors. Combining a passion for civil liberties and humanitarian legislation with an appreciation of the U.S. need to assert its power overseas, Post editorialists have often done a better job of explaining President Johnson's Far Eastern policies than the President himself.
