Johnson has no intention of campaigning in New Hampshire, but, as Boutin says with sublime understatement, he "is interested and is keeping posted." Johnson is also keeping posted on the November campaign, has assigned Postmaster General Lawrence O'Brien, Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Democratic National Chairman John Bailey to key positions...
...America's most celebrated Viet Nam deserters-four young sailors from the carrier Intrepid-finally found comfortable berths in a hospitable Sweden last week. Given asylum on "humanitarian" rather than political grounds by Sweden's Aliens Commission, the sailors-John Barilla, age 20, Richard D. Bailey, 19, Craig W. Anderson, 20, and Michael A.

Johnson's official verbiage tends to be dull, and though he can be pungent and forceful in private...
...important power of a President, in the long run, is one that is neither defined nor even hinted at in the Constitution. "Presidential power," says Political Scientist Richard Neustadt, Director of the Kennedy Institute for Politics at Harvard, "is the power to persuade." Or, as Stanford Historian Thomas A. Bailey writes: "The Commander-in-Chief is also the Teacher-in-Chief. If he is to get the wheels to move and 'make things happen,' in Woodrow Wilson's phrase, he must educate the people...
