...conflict between the two loyalties during the expansive days of 1965 and 1966, when Congress and President were committed to an eradication of domestic ills. The 90th Congress, which is far less inclined toward constructive action, brought a different mood to Capitol Hill, and Johnson appeared ready to bend with the prevailing breezes of caution and negativism. While the President pointedly avoided ringing the alarm bell after last summer's riots-or indeed doing much of anything at all-Gardner, always the most candid man in the Administration, eloquently voiced his own concern...
...Carmichael tells the Negro. "It's his war. Let him fight it. The Viet Nam war is for the birds-Lady Bird, Lyndon Bird and all the other birds." Leaflets turned out by the Viet Cong are crude and peppered with misspellings and misstatements (Newark becomes Neward; South Bend, Southden; and Grand Rapids, Gerand Rapid). Though the leaflets show a growing sophistication, current American idiom often booby-traps...

The critical decision to negotiate toward merger came in October in a phone call between Allis-Chalmers Chairman Robert S. Stevenson and Shumway, who was attending a Notre Dame football game in South Bend, Ind. Signal's purchase price figures to be worth about $45 per share of Allis-Chalmers' common (last week's closing: $38.75), considerably less than the $55-$60 estimate that Ling put on his final offer. That could mean trouble for Allis-Chalmers, which has already been...
