After having been in the doldrums for weeks, the market started a rally on the morning of President Johnson's televised speech. Defense stocks ticked up, and so did steels, autos, railroads, airlines, oils and most other major industry groups. The Dow-Jones industrial average advanced 4 points on the day of the speech, 6 points the next day, 71 points the next day-and closed the week with a gain of more than 18 points...
