The Fantastic Two
Also unofficial and unsponsored by the Unicameral Youth Conference, the Fantastic Two consisted of Sen. Pena and Sen. Schoeneberger. The vague filibuster threat against all the other bills was given by the Fantastic Two, and though the threat was not to be taken seriously, it apparently created a panic in Group Thirteen, much to the amusement of the Fantastic Two. It was Sen. Pena and Sen. Schoeneberger who proposed the many amendments to LB 4, and while they dispersed after said bill, Sen. Pena went on to propose multiple amendments to LB 6.

Famous quotes containing the word fantastic:
“What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
