Midnight Draft. At the same time, the President began formulating his Sunday address. Working with him on the speech were Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Defense Secretary Clark Clifford, White House Aides Walt Rostow Harry McPherson and George Christian. General Earle Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Stall, was consulted. Also at Johnson's side, surprisingly, was Robert S. McNamara...
Defying the longtime policy of the Christian Democrats, Brandt called for recognition of the disputed Oder-Neisse line as the legal border between Germany and Poland; he thus became the first German politician to publicly cede the former German territories given to Poland by the victorious Allies in 1945.

Smaller Christian communities will replace larger ones; clergy will be employed in 'the world...
...matters. Director Jack Smight squeezes legitimate comedy from the corrosive camaraderie of Steiger and Segal in their hare-and-hound relationship. Not that the film is totally successful. Eileen Heckart, as Segal's mom, aims at Kosher salami but comes out Irish ham. And the end, heavy with Christian expiation, is as self-conscious as a Sunday-school morality play...
