...more experienced patients in the group immediately challenge both his ideas and his behavior. They tell him that none of them want to be seen leaving the building with anyone dressed the way he is. They tell him that they, too, used to affect the same mannered speech that he does, and they are glad they quit. Most important, it soon becomes clear from discussion of their own problems that they never have been truly happy as homosexuals, and know they cannot be.

These proposals have been hotly debated at a series of secret meetings in the White House. The State Department is dead set against foreign aid cuts...
...policy than offering a simple justification for it. President Johnson is not known for impulsiveness, and behind his decision to order the bombings, there probably lay more subtle motives than vengeance. Furthermore, he knows as well as the press that Sunday's air strikes, and more systematic escalation, will affect but little the Viet Cong's capacity to wage war. The New York Times estimates that the Viet Cong receives less than 20% of its personnel and arms from the North...
