    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)

    The Prospero of poisons, the Faustus of the front,
    bringing mental magic to modern armament.

    Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda.

    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
