General note	"From 1962 to 1979, I served as an attorney with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, initially as a trial lawyer assigned primarily to voting discrimination cases in the State of Mississippi, and subseqently, beginning in 1969, as the first Chief of the Division's Housing Section, charged with nationwide enforcement of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The memoir to which this is the 2012 Preface was started in the late 1960s and completed in the very early 1970s.... The manuscript lay untouched ... for several decades until ... it could be published on the Internet."--Page 2.
