...sounds of a kaleidoscopic journey that covered 31,000 miles-and, it seemed, as many handshakes-the President was ready to take off again. Having promised to stump all 50 states, Johnson plans to zip through 15 of them in four days to make good his word. He will dash from New England to the Midwest and the Northwest the first day, campaign along the West Coast the second, stop off in Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona...

...electronic gear, the Russian "skunks" (as they are pungently known in Navy parlance) keep a close watch on U.S. air operations, flash their information to beleaguered Hanoi, and do their best to monitor the radars and radios of American ships and planes. From time to time, they make a dash at the U.S. ships in hopes of scaring American skippers into violent evasive maneuvers that could result in a collision with one of the task force's screening destroyers...
