...Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Those years yielded in time a national unity on matters of foreign commitments and domestic crises that knit President and populace in almost runproof harmony. Though it is frayed today by dissent over Viet Nam, Johnson would like nothing better than to reknit the cloth of American purpose. Last week he seized an opportunity to do so. To succeed Robert McNamara as Secretary of Defense, the President chose Clark McAdams Clifford, 61, a veteran Washington lawyer and presidential confidant who is both loyal to Lyndon and well liked by key Congressmen, a trusted figure...

Mkwang'ata has instructed tribesmen to throw away their animal skins and skimpy loincloths and "dress in something better than a dirty sheet or a meager yard of cloth that exhibits your buttocks," has also warned them against allowing tourists to "take your naked pictures." He has backed up his crusade with penalties. In the past few weeks, about 250 Masai caught disobeying the new regulations have been locked up briefly in cells in the regional center, Arusha.
