To all the folks from class of '59, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.? Hope we all can say that for another year. Steve, in your comment about valid election results.? I remember traveling thru Texas in 1964 reporting to Fort Gordon, Ga to begin my military obligation, and staying with the local Texans ,,they were still talking about the stolen election by LBJ. In 1948 U.S. senate election in Texas, LBJ ran for democratic nomination for one of the two seats in the U.S. senate from Texas. Johnson won the primary by only 87 votes.(Texas then was a one party state like Calif now).. His opponent persuaded a Federal judge to issue an order taking LBJ name off the general election ballot while the primary results were being contested. There were serious allegation of corruptions in the voting processing including 200 votes for Johnson from a Texas border town which arrived late and cast in alphabetical order and the voters seems to have the same handwriting style.Johnson asked lawyer Abe Fortas for help...and Fortas persuaded Supreme Court Hugo Black to overturn the ruling.? Johnson then won the general election and became a U.S. senator. (it should be noted that Fortas and Black are friends}. Able Fortas later was appointed to the U.S. supreme court? by LBJ and subsequently Johnson tried to elevate him to be Chief supreme? court justice when Earl Warren wanted to retire, but that effort failed as the media reported Fortas was receiving outside monetary kickbacks. He eventually resigned from the supreme court. Historian Robert Caro has a four volume books series on LBJ and the most definitive.? Andy
