"One of the attributes of an administrator is his ability to stick his neck out, to open his mouth and say something, to decide what side of the fence he is on and to take a stand there, to fish or cut bait, to put up or shut up," she says.

He spends half his time away from Madison on projects in which his IBM memory, crisp voice and instant answers keep countless meetings moving toward decisive conclusions.

Crisp, clipped, perfectly assured, L.B.J. took the offensive. There might not have been a conference at all if Press Secretary Bill Moyers had not gone on television a few days before to denounce such affairs as "circuses" and "extravaganzas." They are "a poor substitute," Moyers said, for the more informal get-togethers that the President prefers. And anyway, he added, the President has no statutory obligation to hold...
