  7. Republican -- House Republican
    The Republican Party began at a protest meeting in Ripon, Wisconsin, on 28 February 1854 as a group of Antislavery activists, known as Free Soilers, met to start a new grassroots movement. The first party convention took place in Jackson, Michigan, that same year on 6 July. The group adopted the name of the political party of Thomas Jefferson, which later evolved more directly into the Democratic Party. The Republican Party emerged directly out of the Free Soil Party in the North, a movement embraced at various times by such Democrats as Martin Van Buren, who ran unsuccessfully for the presidency on the Free Soil Party ticket in 1848, and David Wilmot, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1845–1851). Numerically more significant was the Republican Party's support from disillusioned northern Whigs. With the collapse of the Whig Party in the 1850s, the Republicans emerged as one of the legatees of the Whig organization.
  8. Palestinian -- Palestinian Christian
    As with many other immigrant groups coming from a more traditional society to a modern Western one, the Palestinian immigrants in the first half of this century experienced a breakdown in the nature of the hierarchical and patriarchal extended family. Whether the father was away from home as an itinerant peddler or just working long hours, his authority decreased, especially in families where the mother was ... involved with the family business. The influence of education and economic opportunities and American culture generally led to more nuclear families with fewer children. Women's participation in the economic sphere of the family in time reduced the number of restrictive customs. Except for some families that remained highly traditional, most Muslim women shed their veils when they emigrated, and both Christian and Muslim women generally ceased to cover their heads as they had been required to do in their former culture.
  9. Lyndon Johnson -- United States
    As Senate majority leader, Lyndon Johnson insisted that he had no power except the “power to persuade.” But Johnson could be masterful in persuasion. With his aide Bobby Baker, Johnson made careful “head counts” to anticipate when he had a majority vote. He did frequent personal favors for senators and gave important committee assignments to those who voted with him. When Johnson sought to persuade another senator, wrote newspaper columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, he would move in close, “his face a scant millimeter from his target, his eyes widening and narrowing, his eyebrows rising and falling. From his pockets poured clippings, memos, statistics.” Mixing logic, humor, and bullying tactics, Johnson would leave his target “stunned and helpless.”
