[edit] Photograph

I believe someone should add a photograph of Senator Russell.

Here is a link to the LBJ Library, where all images have been released into public domain.

[edit] Vandiver Reference

I'm not sure that the Vandiver reference is entirely true. Vandiver's political career was actually more closely tied to Herman Talmadge. By the late 1940s, Russell had begun to back himself away from state politics and focus on the national level.

Can't find anything to directly verify, but here it says "[i]n 1952, [Vandiver] took a leave of absence from his post as director of the Selective Service of Georgia to assist in Senator Richard B. Russell’s 1952 presidential campaign." So he had some additional ties to Russell other than being an in-law.--Roswell native 01:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
