Truman heard Johnson repeat his own appeal for peace in Asia and his determination to fight against aggression there, much as Truman had done in the Korean War. Then the mood changed. Because he "wanted the entire world to know that we haven't for gotten who is the real daddy of medicare," Johnson jubilantly presented the Trumans with their applications for voluntary medical insurance, countersigned the forms as their witness and then is sued medicare cards Nos. 1 and 2 to Harry and Bess...
Such explanations seemed to go unheard. Bethlehem Board Chairman Edmund Martin was summoned to Washington for a confrontation with Ackley and White House Aide Joseph Califano.

They promptly treated him right. Manny was getting out of his car in the basement of his North Side apartment in September when he was shot dead by a couple of the boys...
Diametrically opposed to the Regional Chairman's warm camaraderie is the inhumane approach to the Marshall Fellowship forms. The Marshall asks for each recommendation in sextuplicate. Not even Harvard faculty members like to repeat their own words that many times.
