Some sad news
I know it is not directly farm related, but I wanted to note that Burke Marshall died yesterday at the age of 80. Professor Marshall was a courageous man who, among other things fought for civil rights in the Kennedy administration, and was a fixture at our alma mater, Yale Law School. I am sure he will be greatly missed.

I saw that Lyndon Johnson wrote at the bottom of Marshall's letter when he was resigning from the Justice Dept., something to the effect that "I know no one rendered better service to the government".
That's pretty powerful!
