Anderson seemed passive. On the record, no slouch could have risen so fast from a poor cotton farm, worked his way through University of Texas Law School at top of his class, become a young expert in the state government's toughest troubleshooting jobs, and managed a $300 million cattle and oil empire. But Anderson's Washington reputation came mainly from his Navy Secretary days (1953-54), when he was known as a flexible, laconic worker who stayed out of headlines and was more willing to listen to others than to voice his own ideas.
