The mornings at White House West, however, are working hours; the business of the world's most powerful nation can never come to complete rest. Each day, the President is briefed on foreign happenings by White House Aide Henry Kissinger and on domestic issues by Attorney General John Mitchell.

That's all I've ever been." While...
...Laird's long-range plans start to come into focus, both for the overall design of the military apparatus and the internal operations of the Pentagon, a number of contrasts with the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations are becoming evident.
