Berger’s book, Impeachment, made him the toast of Georgetown during the Watergate mess. Then came Integration, and Georgetown no longer had any use for him.

The point of Integration was that the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education was a mistake. The public schools should not have been integrated by judicial fiat. The proper course would have been to tie school integration to the whole civil rights debate that became the knock-down drag-out brawl of the mid-Sixties. The violence and bad feeling generated by Brown could have been avoided.

Berger became a non-person among the elites after that book.
