...still another complaint, Bobby's Administration critics note that he recently accompanied Defense Secretary Robert McNamara on a visit to the office of Arkansas' Democratic Senator John McClellan, chairman of a committee investigating McNamara's controversial contract for the TFX all-purpose fighter aircraft. Says one angered White House staffer of Bobby: "He went in to make a deal with McClellan-who has never given us a vote on anything...
...Young Democrats wither in apathy, the HYRC's major burden is its gold; with membership twice that of five years ago, the Executive Committee is now considering investing its excess revenue in speculative stocks. In an abortive revolt against the "machine at the annual election in March the main complaint of the rebels was that the club leaders had in effect fulfilled their agencies too well and too efficiently.

This matter of overt governmental hostility appears more than once in the book, but other sources of grumbling, complaint, and denunciation are never mentioned. Draper obviously has read almost everything written on Cuba since Castro. He certainly knows the reports of bewilderment and anger in Cuba over the steady criticism from certain quarters and over the more spectacular assaults, like Senator Morse's diatribes against the 1959 executions...
