1965568571965. U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. Supreme Court. Portrait Photograph of Lyndon Johnson Inscribed To Supreme Court Justice and UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg Johnson Lyndon Baines 1908-1973. Goldberg Arthur 1908-1990. Photograph of Johnson Inscribed to Goldberg. N.p. N.d. 1965. 8" x 10" color portrait photograph printed credit in the image at bottom left glazed and framed in tasteful black-and-gold wooden 16" x 19" frame. Bold inscription and full signature below image. A few tiny nicks to frame image fine. $5000. The undated inscription reads "To Arthur Goldberg-/ With the high regard and affection/ of his friend-/ Lyndon B. Johnson." Appointed by President Kennedy Goldberg was an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1962 to 1965 and one of the most significant justices of the twentieth century. In his three terms on the bench he pushed the Court toward a broader construction of personal rights a course it followed over the following two decades. He is best known for his influential 1963 internal Supreme Court memorandum that condemned capital punishment as an example of "cruel and unusual punishment" as defined by the Eighth Amendment and his opinion in Griswold v. Connecticut 1965 which argued against a Connecticut law banning the use of contraceptives because it violated an un-enumerated right to privacy guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment. The memo initiated a wave of litigation and legislation that led to the abolition of the death penalty in several states; the Griswold opinion laid the foundation for Roe v. Wade 1973 which established a women's right to have an abortion. When Adlai Stevenson Ambassador to the United Nations died in 1965 President Johnson decided to appoint Goldberg to fill his seat. Johnson's larger plan was to put Abe Fortas on the bench because he knew Fortas would defend his Great Society programs and spy on the Court for him. Probably a recipient of the legendary Johnson "treatment" Goldberg was persuaded to resign while flying to Stevenson's funeral on Air Force One. Goldberg went on to say that he accepted the UN Ambassadorship in order to resolve the Vietnam Conflict. This photograph may be a memento of that 1965 flight or one of the tools Johnson used to persuade Goldberg. unknown books
1943111721New York: Random House 1943. First edition of Dahl's rare first book with 14 vibrant full-page illustrations by Walt Disney Productions. Quarto original half cloth pictorial endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by Disney animator Bill Justice on the half-title page with a large drawing of a Gremlin "Sorry Ray That's a lousy Gremlin Bill Justice." Justice joined Walt Disney Studios as an animator in 1937 and worked on such features as Fantasia The Three Caballeros Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. He is arguably best known as the animator of the rabbit Thumper from Bambi and chipmunks Chip 'n Dale. He was the director of The Truth About Mother Goose Noah's Ark and A Symposium On Popular Songs all of which were nominated for Academy Awards as Best Short Subject Cartoon. In total Justice worked on 57 shorts and 19 features. Good in the rare original dust jacket with some chips and wear. Dahl was sent to Washington in 1942 as an assistant air attache for the British Embassy. After having a story published anonymously in the Saturday Evening Post he was encouraged by C. S. Forester. He produced The Gremlins a children's story expanding on a mythical creature enshrined for years in RAF lore notwithstanding Dahl's claims to have invented the word and sent it to Sidney Bernstein the head of the British Information Service who sent it on to Walt Disney. Disney decided to make it into a movie at one point bringing Dahl to Hollywood to work on the screenplay. The story was published in Cosmopolitan in December of 1942 and as a book by Random House six months later. The film project however was sidelined and has never been produced. The story was received positively: Eleanor Roosevelt read it to her grandchildren and invited Dahl to the White House. Random House hardcover books

195236810New York: National Committee to Secure Justice in the Rosenberg Case 1952. Eight volumes bound in original printed yellow title wrappers. 1715 3 Index pp. Each page printed in two columns each column numbered as a page. Oblong 8vo 7-1/4" x 5-1/4". Stapled as issued Near Fine. Housed in original box. <br/><br/> Nearly seventy years after they were executed for espionage even after the opening of the USSR's secret Venona files the guilt or innocence of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remains a subject of controversy. A National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case the successor to the National Committee to Secure Justice to the Rosenbergs is active to this day. The trial like that of their contemporary Alger Hiss was enveloped by the early years of the Cold War. Added to the mix was the fact that the Rosenbergs were Jewish as were their prosecutors Irving Saypol and Roy Cohn and the trial judge Irving Kaufman. There is little doubt that significant prejudicial conduct occurred at trial including ex parte meetings with the trial judge and the introduction of inflammatory evidence which had little probative value. <br/> The National Committee published this Record "confident that the dispassionate reader will perceive the gross miscarriage of justice that cries out for redress." The Committee claims that David and Ruth Greenglass the government's "main witnesses" were themselves spies whose testimony was tainted by their desire to avoid the death penalty. There was no documentary evidence of the Rosenbergs' guilt. Indeed the prosecution whipped the jury into an anti-Communist frenzy; and the sentence of death was "barbaric.
