	Johnson, Andrew. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		From 1830 onward Johnson was almost continuously in public office, being alderman (1828–30) and mayor (1830–33) of Greeneville, state representative (1835–37, 1839–41), state senator (1841–43), Congressman (1843–53), governor of Tennessee (1853–57), and U.S. Senator (1857–62).
		When Johnson insisted upon his intention to force out of office his Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, whom he rightly suspected of conspiring with the congressional leaders, the radical Republicans sought to remove the President.
		Johnson’s name figured in the balloting at the Democratic convention of 1868, but he did not actively seek the nomination.

	USATODAY.com - From BET to hotels to banking, Johnson keeps moving forward (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Johnson, who became the nation's first African-American billionaire when he sold the BET media empire for $3 billion to media giant Viacom in 2000, has made a number of big purchases in the past few years, seeking out areas of the economy that have largely been untapped by African-Americans.
		Johnson, dressed in a fl suit with white pinstripes and wearing a fl-and-white checked tie, casually sits on a leather couch in his office that is so new the carpet still has that straight-from-the-factory smell.
		Johnson was born in Hickory, Miss., the ninth of 10 children to Edna and Archie.

	::1964 Civil Rights Act::
		Johnson had done what he politically needed to do to stop the full implementation of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, but despite the fact he was a Texan, he realised that a major civil rights act was needed to advance African Americans within USA society.
		Johnson believed that he owed it to Kennedy’s life to push through this act especially as he was not an elected president.
		Johnson’s desire, regardless of his background, was to advance America’s society and he saw the 1964 Civil Rights Act as the way forward.

	Johnson-Clinton Paper
		Johnson, like his predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, favored a lenient peace in which all but the highest-ranking Confederates would be restored to their full rights as U.S. citizens, and normal state government quickly reestablished in the South.
		Johnson vetoed the Tenure of Office Act when the bill initially reached his desk, believing it to be an unconstitutional invasion of presidential powers.
		Johnson's fatal flaw, as previously indicated, was his rigid self-righteousness and absolute unwillingness to compromise on a matter of principle.

		Johnson happens to be married, but the long-suffering, punch-line-less half of a comedy act, the guy who sets up the gags and smiles affably as his partner knocks ’em out of the park.
		Johnson’s, and yet, when it’s time for a comic payoff, his lips remain set in a placid if slightly rigid half-smile, and your eyes are trained on the yapping bird or the monkey or the beady-eyed wooden kid.
		Johnson re-enacts this tortured encounter, you may uneasily wonder whether this painful heart-to-heart between man and puppet, obviously not part of a public performance, is in fact a re-creation of an actual scene from Mr.

	Roger V. Johnson vs. Department of Health and Human Services, DE0752990219I1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Because subsection (b) states that the minimum standards apply to "individuals appointed to positions described in subsection (a)" and because subsection (a) refers to "each individual who is employed, or is being considered for employment" in a covered position, we find that the minimum standards apply to both current and prospective employees.
		The language and history of the Act show that Congress intended to afford the maximum protection for Indian children and that there were concerns about incidents where Federal employees had abused them.
		The Act identifies a narrow category of individuals, those who have been convicted of or pled no contest or guilty to, a covered crime, and ensures that those individuals do not hold positions within the agency where their duties will involve contact with or control over Indian children.

		President Johnson, the "teacher who became President," built his education program around the theme of poverty, drawing support from public concern over the problem of the poor in an affluent society.
		This was the first large education program enacted by Congress since the National Defense Education Act of 1958, and it was the first broad education bill enacted in the post-world War II period that was not tied to national defense.
		President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act (PL 88-352) authorizing federal authorities to sue for the desegregation of schools and to withhold federal funds from education institutions that practiced segregation.

	Johnson Joins Daschle, R-CALF in Meeting With President Clinton About Livestock Issues
		Johnson introduced the Truth in Quality Grading Act of 1999, legislation that would deny the use of the USDA quality grade stamp on imported beef and lamb and meat products from livestock imported for slaughter.
		Johnson said rescinding the USDA quality grade stamp on imported beef and lamb is only fair for livestock producers and consumers alike.
		The Meat Labeling Act will allow American consumers to know the source of their beef, lamb and pork products and will be one of several efforts to address the current agricultural crisis our nation faces, according to Johnson.

	Pingames and Gambling - The Johnson Act
		The advent of the flipper had made "amusement pinballs" less likely to be outlawed as gambling devices due to their increased "skill factor" and therefore not a problem under the Johnson Act.
		At first there seemed not to be much of a problem with shipping them under the Johnson Act, after all they were clearly not "one-balls" as five balls (and up to eight, as most allowed the player a chance to use up to three "extra balls") were actually used in each game.
		It was also in the early Fifties that some people in the coin machine industry decided it was time to "clean up their act" lest their business be hurt by the still existent anti-gambling forces.

	Stereophile: Conrad-Johnson ACT2 line preamplifier
		The ACT2 ($13,500) is, um, literally the second act of Conrad-Johnson's flagship ART preamplifier, which pioneered the composite-triode concept when it was introduced.
		DC voltage is derived from cascaded discrete voltage regulators that, in Johnson's words, "absolutely isolate the audio circuit from the power line by maintaining virtually zero impedance across the audio frequency band." He added that noise is further minimized by operating the tube filaments (heaters) with DC voltage taken from another discrete, regulated power supply.
		Lew Johnson had an opinion that he hastened to distinguish from an "explanation": "Capacitors are subject to an effect described as dielectric absorption, which old-school engineers used to call soakage and I just call memory.

		Johnson said next year is the final year of authorization for the domestic violence programs contained in the law, and Congress must act soon to ensure that these programs continue.
		Johnson has written to Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy urging that committee to act on legislation to reauthorize the VAWA before the end of this year.
		In addition to reauthorizing existing programs, Johnson said the VAWA II would improve efforts to combat domestic violence by enhancing penalties for "stalking", increasing controls on "date rape" drugs which plague college campuses, funding shelters and training law enforcement and prosecutors to identify and deal with domestic violence.

	98-2053 -- U.S. West Inc. v. Tristani -- 07/08/1999
		U S West argues that: (1) the district court erred in finding that the Johnson Act should be broadly construed to prohibit federal court jurisdiction when the court's actions indirectly affect a rate order, and (2) the court erred in finding that the four enumerated conditions of the Johnson Act were satisfied.
		The Johnson Act sought to remedy the evils of federal court interference with state control of its intrastate public utility rates.
		Based on our conclusion that the Johnson Act bars federal court jurisdiction over U S West's claims, we do not reach the merits of U S West's claims regarding whether imputation is unconstitutional.
