Inscription reads San Marcos--Feb. 6, 1998 With Love to Dear Friends, Sue and John Fitch Richard B. Henderson. Foreword by Joe B. Frantz. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Dr. Richard B. Henderson (1921-2003) was born in Washington, D.C. He received his BA degree from Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1949, his MA from the University of Maryland in 1950, and his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1960. Henderson enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942 during World War II, serving in Pacific Theater and earning four battle stars. Henderson served as chairman of the university's social science (1963-65) and political science departments (1965-69). He taught a number of political science courses, including those focused on the functions of American government, political theory, and public policy. Henderson chaired the committee which wrote the constitution of the Faculty Senate and established the university's Faculty Senate in 1968. Along with serving ten years in the Faculty Senate, he participated in a number of university-wide committees including the Faculty Advisory Committee and the Faculty Hearing Committee. Henderson won several regional awards for his book Maury Maverick: A Political Biography (1970). Henderson retired in 1984 and received the university's Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1987. Maury Maverick was possibly the first liberal United States Congressman from Texas to achieve national and even international stature. A dedicated Democrat, he was ready to attack Franklin D. Roosevelt whenever he felt that Roosevelt was flagging in his enthusiasm for reform. He was honest to the point of rudeness, and he belonged to the "damn the torpedoes" class that pulled ahead regardless of political consequences. He was at home with the literate--he was a prodigious writer and speaker--but always ready to puncture their pretensions. And he could cuss with sailors, pecan shellers, and any breed of saloon keeper. Put all that together with a short, stocky, bulldog frame, a fierce face and a voice to match, and you have one of the nation's more colorful political figures. From Wikipedia: Fontaine Maury Maverick Sr. (October 23, 1895-June 7, 1954) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Texas, representing the 20th district from January 3, 1935, to January 3, 1939. He is best remembered for his independence from the party and for coining the term "gobbledygook" for obscure and euphemistic bureaucratic language. He was elected to the Seventy-fourth Congress in 1934, with support from the Hispanic population of his district, and re-elected in 1936 to the Seventy-fifth. During his 1934 campaign, Maverick enlisted Lyndon Johnson, a then little-known congressional secretary, to work for him during the Democratic primary. In the House, he was an ardent champion of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. He angered the conservative Democrats running the party back in Texas, including John Nance Garner. Maverick was the sole Texas Democrat to vote for the Anti-Lynching Bill of 1937. He was defeated in the primary for a third term in 1938. He returned to Texas where he was elected Mayor of San Antonio, again with support from minority voters, serving from 1939 to 1941, when he was labeled a Communist and defeated. During World War II, he worked for the Office of Price Administration and the Office of Personnel Management, and served on the War Production Board and the Smaller War Plants Corporation. After the war, he practiced law in San Antonio.
