How can the References be corrected?[edit]

Reference number 2 (LA Times obituary) has an inaccurate, additional clause in Spanish added to the title. The title was checked on January 9, 2021.

I don't understand enough to know how to access reflist Please help?

Only Republican in LBJ cabinet?[edit]

The lead section of the article claims that Gardner was the only Republican in Lyndon B. Johnson's cabinet. Although a reputable source (namely, a New York Times obituary) is cited for this claim, it seems almost certainly false, as Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara was a registered Republican throughout his service in the Kennedy and LBJ administrations. This Los Angeles Times article notes as much, and unlike the Gardner obituary in The Times, it backs the claim with sources ("According to a 1961 entry in Contemporary Biography, McNamara was a registered Republican. He changed his party affiliation to Democrat in 1978, according to public records in the District of Columbia.")[1] LunaticLarry (talk) 08:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of any objections, I will remove the contested claim. LunaticLarry (talk) 11:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
