President Johnson, he told the editor with a mystic's assurance, "will have to cede and make peace [in Viet Nam] because American financiers want it." Dean Rusk? "He doesn't know anything."

ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDER GROUND, by the Rev. C. L. Dodgson. The Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Dormouse and Ugly Duchess may be absent in the original version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but this charming facsimile of the preliminary manuscript is laced with Dodgson's (nom de plume: Lewis Carroll) own penmanship and fanciful, spidery sketches of White Rabbit, Mock Turtle and Alice as he first conceived them...
