But the Senator was burdened with two virtues which banished his name from the roll of possible candidates acceptable to the power struc ture: He was from the South, and he would not consent to compromise with, let alone be controlled by, the political ma nipulators. So he lost the nomination. Or, more accurately, the coun try lost. In the game of what- might-have-been, one can only suppose what would have hap pened had Dick Russell won the nomination and the Presi dency. Or, even if he had won only the nomination while los ing the Presidency, there surely would have been fewer of the mistakes of judgement, how ever well-intentioned, that oc curred at the White House dur ing the succeeding eight years. The nation bestowed upon Se nator Russell many of its high est honors, but it denied itself the ultimate in good fortune when the mechanism of politics rejected his services as the Grief Executive of its affairs. He would have served us well. He served us well anyhow, as one of history’s most noble Se nators. It may seem a cliche to say that we will not see his likes again. It is not a cliche. It is the truth—which is what the epitaph to a great and good man should be.
