	Ex-Ga. Governor S. Ernest Vandiver Dies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Ernest Vandiver, who won office vowing "no, not one" fl child would integrate a Georgia classroom, but went on to preside over peaceful desegregation, has died at age 86.
		Governor from 1959 to 1963, Vandiver had been elected on an anti-integration platform, but at a critical moment persuaded lawmakers to repeal a law requiring schools to be closed rather than desegregated.
		His "no, not one" phrase had been devised by Vandiver's strategists to counter criticism from pro-segregation voters after he had said integration of Georgia's schools should "evolve." Years later, he acknowledged the speech was probably unnecessary, since he was virtually assured of election as the front runner against a weak field.
