message: Until the mid-60's, Pekin had no African-American residents but did have a sign on the city limits that read "No niggers after 6pm".  The local high school's team was the Chinks (named for Peking China) when I visited there in the mid-1970s.  It was also home to the most active Klan in the area.

message: Dirksen was a brilliant orator. Everyone loved to listen to him. One of his less listenable quotes is used in the article: "The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion." This obviously seemed wonderful to somebody but seemed really clunky to me. Student7 13:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It was my understanding that Dirksen was persuaded to support what was then called "emphysema awareness" by taking some physical test in front of the media on the Capital steps. To his shock, he was diagnosed with "emphysema" quite unexpected by him and the people wanting publicity for the disease. I guess this wound up being cancer and not emphysema at all, but was masked as that for awhile. Obviously need cite for this. Student7 (talk) 02:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
