	sociology - Sam Ervin
		Senator Ervin made a deep impact on America history through his work on two separate committees at the beginning and ending of his career that were critical in bringing down two powerful opponents: Senator Joe McCarthy in 1954 and President Richard M. Nixon in 1974.
		Senator Ervin's opposition to most civil rights legislation was based on his commitment to the preservation of the constitution in its pristine formulation that he repeatedly stated encapsulated civil, human and equal rights for all.
		Sam Ervin will be remembered as one of the closest twentieth century figures to the founding fathers of America.

	Sen. Sam Ervin, Key Figure In Watergate Probe, Dies (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Ervin served 20 years in the U.S. Senate, beginning in 1954 at the height of the McCarthy era and ending with his retirement in December 1974, four months after the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon.
		Ervin came to an uncomplicated verdict on Watergate: Nixon and his chief aides tried to pull some funny business in order to weaken the Democratic presidential ticket and enhance Nixon's chances for reelection in 1972, tried to lie about it and cover it up in violation of the law, and got caught.
		But Ervin opposed almost all civil rights legislation on the grounds that they took rights away from others, whites - to hire whom they wanted, to sell their homes to whom they wanted, to go to school where they wanted - and that preserving the Constitution was more important than redressing fls' grievances.

	Attempting to take out the Garbage: Senator Sam J. Ervin and the 'Law and Order' Syndrome by Matthew Stone
		Ervin was in fact quite disturbed by the image that Dabney had portrayed of him, so much so that he would directly refute the inconsistencies within the book in his own autobiography, and within the files of his public and private papers.
		The Ervin plan to relieve the strain on law enforcement and the judiciary consisted of increasing the number of judges on the court to relieve case loads for the original members and guarantee the defendants an expedited trial.
		While Sam Ervin was unable to curb the tide of the “law and order” syndrome, he would in subsequent years pass a series of amendments weakening the provisions that he felt did so much harm to the Constitution.

	Senator Sam Ervin Explains the Meaning and Consequences of Watergate (1974)
		Prior to the report quoted above, the Ervin Committee of the Senate had throughout the summer of 1973 treated the U.S. public to weeks of televised hearings at which various Watergate conspirators had testified about the labyrinthine developments of the Watergate affair.
		Accompanying the report was a statement from Senator Ervin in which he tried to summarize the Watergate episode in a few paragraphs.
		Because the report was made prior to the House committee's decision to move toward impeachment of the president, Ervin began his report with a disclaimer to indicate that he was not trying to pass judgment on the president's guilt in the matter.
