		Coke Robert Stevenson (March 20, 1888–June 28, 1975) was a U.S. political figure.

		Stevenson was a major figure in the second volume of Robert Caro's biography of Lyndon Johnson, covering the disputed 1948 election for the senate.

		In the form of oven coke it is primarily used when a porous fuel with few impurities and high carbon content is desired, as in the blast furnace to make iron.
		Coke is also used in other metallurgical processes, such as the manufacture of ferro-alloys, lead, and zinc, and in kilns to make lime and magnesium.
		In nonrecovery coke plants, originally referred to as beehive ovens, the coal is carbonized in large oven chambers; the partially combusted gases collect in a common tunnel and exit via a stack.

	Coke Stevenson
		STEVENSON has also recently been portrayed anew in a number of articles as merely a "typical" ("typical" was a word I heard a lot), totally unexceptional Texas right-winger, just another in the long line of the state's extremely conservative public officials - unintelligent, narrow-minded, bigoted, a segregationist and an isolationist.
		The image of Coke Stevenson that had come down to history (to the very limited extent that any image of Stevenson had come down to history) was the image the Johnson people painted during the campaign, and that, today, more than 40 years later, the Johnson-Loyalist group still paints for biographers and historians.
		Stevenson's administration as a whole was not an important issue in the campaign; Johnson did not make it an issue, for he was well aware of the popularity of that administration - and of the political philosophy on which it was based -with the great majority of Texans.

		Brown and Root had a well-documented relationship with Lyndon Johnson which began when he used his position as a Texas congressman to assist them in landing a lucrative dam contract.
		In return they gave him the funds to "steal" the 1948 senate race from the popular Coke R. Stevenson.
		The relationship continued for years, with Johnson funneling dozens of military construction contracts to B&R. In October 2003 members of Congress Henry Waxman (Democrat) and John Dingell (Democrat) demanded an investigation in the high prices that are asked for the oil that is sold in Iraq.

	Coke, Sir Edward. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In this position, and (after 1613) as chief justice of the king’s bench, Coke became the champion of common law against the encroachments of the royal prerogative and declared null and void royal proclamations that were contrary to law.
		Although his historical arguments were frequently based on false interpretations of early documents, as in the case of the Magna Carta, his reasoning was brilliant and his conclusions impressive.
		By personal and political influence, Coke got himself back on the privy council and was elected (1620) to Parliament, where he became a leader of the popular faction in opposition to James I and Charles I. He was prominent in the drafting of the Petition of Right (1628).

	Texas Monthly
		In Means of Ascent, Caro introduces the cowboy governor in a long chapter entitled, with the simplicity of a children's fairytale, "The Story of Coke Stevenson." What follows is a beguiling but controversial portrait in which Stevenson, in contrast to Johnson's Black Bart, is presented as the last great hero of the Old West.
		He said something to the effect of 'I even had to support Lyndon against Coke Stevenson in 1948.' Then he said-and remember that this was a very pragmatic man-'I knew Coke Stevenson, and I thought a lot of him.
		Not everyone, though, speaks of Stevenson in those tones, and Caro's portrait has drawn fire from critics who remember Stevenson as much for his racial bigotry (a topic that Caro mentions only glancingly) as for his political integrity.

		He devised sophisticated multiple statewide polling strategies that were designed to detect issues to which voters would respond, and his polls far exceeded in number and in depth the ones used by other candidates.
		He clearly understood the key feature of postwar politics—the need to disseminate a candidate's message, image, and perspective quickly and widely—as well as a more sullied but crucial aspect of postwar politics, the negative campaign.
		He initially reveled in this, for it proved him a political competitor, a feature of his character of which he was particularly proud.
