Sherrill, Robert G. | May 1, 1967 issue

add to cart   close window

The mental conditions of governors is something that periodically makes news in Southern states of the U.S. The late Earl Long of Louisiana was in a constant brawl with psychiatrists during his last days as governor. Then a couple of years ago Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon revealed that the Veterans Administration was paying George Wallace a 10 per cent disability pension because he was psychotic. At the present time Georgia is the only Southern state wherein a number of responsible people are seriously concerned about the serenity of their Governor Lester Maddox's mind and the fact that Maddox's first ninety days in office have been marked by admirable decorum does not seem to lessen their concern.
