...Vital First Step." Delta Ministry officials argue that no reconciliation is possible until the Negroes have the means to take charge of their own destiny. "We are not a conduit between the Negro and the white communities," says Rev. Arthur C. Thomas, director of the ministry. "We are trying to enable the two groups to come together with dignity and respect for one another. What's needed now is the vital first step-building up the Negro community so that the two can come together in this manner...
...Kibitzers Allowed. Of the three, Johnson remains most impressed-almost awed-by McNamara. Often the President phones him before 7 a.m. for a rundown on Viet Nam.

Johnson repays Rusk's loyalty. When critics asked why he did not reach into the lower echelons of the State Department for advice as Jack Kennedy often did, Johnson replied, "Hell, I go to Dean Rusk...
...inside turned out to look just as one would expect the inside of a concrete pipe to look; it was cheerfully lit and almost pleasant, however, except that the low "ceiling" made it necessary to walk with a slight stoop.

We asked Harry whether unauthorized persons might wander in. "Rarely," he answered. "Occasionally, an outside contractor working in the Tunnel leaves a door open by mistake and a curious undergraduate...
Unsound Doctrine. All constitutional authorities agree that some parts of the Bill of Rights do apply to state actions. The constitutional conduit linking the Bill of Rights with the states is the 14th Amendment provision that no state may "deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law." This formula clearly bars a state from, say, passing a law that abridges freedom of speech. But does it also bar "an establishment of religion" by a state? Yes, said the Supreme Court. No, said some of the experts at Chicago -at least not to the broad extent...
