...from points as disparate as Detroit, Mich., and Dedham, Mass.-most of them young, many of them carrying posters, all of them out for a spring housecleaning of their passions. In San Francisco, 55,000 gathered from points as distant as Coronado, Calif., and Coos Bay, Ore. The avowed aim of the "Spring Mobilization to End the War in Viet Nam" was to demonstrate to President Johnson and the world the depth of feeling in the U.S. against the conflict.

Committees charged with president hunting usually aim high, often try for a nationally prominent figure without any notion of whether he would be interested. HEW Secretary John Gardner, who has shown no inclination to leave Government service, is at the top of nearly everybody's list. As sights are lowered plenty of names surface, since almost every professor or alumnus has his own idea of who might fill the bill. Johns Hopkins scanned 150 candidates before deciding nearly two years later on the State Department's Lincoln Gordon...
