There were no mob scenes, no assassinations and almost no gunfire. When they tuned into Damascus radio at breakfast, Syrians learned that they had been "liberated" from the United Arab Republic, of which their country had been an uneasy part for nearly four years.

...long, informal chats with newsmen and friends; much less frequent are the once publicized sallies from the White House to attend ceremonial and social functions. Now the President's working day is spent behind the closed doors of his office. That day begins about 8:45 with a breakfast staff conference, and usually ends at about 7 p.m., although the President has increasingly taken to spending long evening hours poring over papers in his second-floor living quarters...
