"A teacher is a law unto himself in the classroom," he told Johnson. "His views aren't challenged very much-you don't have to develop to your full potential." That advice proved just as beneficial to U.S. education as it was to L.B.J. For Johnson still insists: "The basis of our whole future as a nation and a civilized society depends...

It has affected military strategy, increased human productivity, made many products less expensive and greatly...
...electric current for much of the nation, route long-distance telephone calls, set newspaper type, even dictate just how sausage is made. They navigate ships and planes, mix cakes and cement, prepare weather forecasts, check income tax returns, direct city traffic and diagnose human-and machine-ailments. They render unto Caesar by sending out the monthly bills and reading the squiggly hieroglyphics on bank checks, and unto God by counting the ballots of the world's Catholic bishops at sessions of the Ecumenical Council in St. Peter's Basilica...
