On the program preceding the keynote were remarks from two of the most outspoken representatives of an older breed?Barry Goldwater and California's conservative Senator George Murphy. But the man who was to introduce Evans, New York's Mayor John Lindsay, is himself a paradigm of the progressive politicians who have brightened Republican ranks in recent years...

After a 3½-year wartime stint in Naval intelligence, during which he rose to lieutenant commander, Thornberry opened his own law practice, served on the Austin city council and as mayor pro tem. The nonpaying city post wound up costing him money, for Homer's law clients expected him to fix such things as $1 parking tickets, and rather than lose the clients, he paid the fines himself. It was as a city councilman in 1941 that Thornberry first showed his clear commitment to civil rights by fighting...
