...that, at 58, Lyndon Johnson is too proud and probably too - inflexible to develop a new style that would be both engaging and in character. In any case, his concern over his image has made him morose, needlessly secretive, and at times downright peevish. Last week, in a typical display of pique when news of an impending trip leaked out, Johnson flatly denied any plans to appear this week before labor conventions in Atlantic City, St. Louis and Kansas City-though all three cities were already preparing for his arrival...
...their own. Their swift sorties into the Red-dominated central highlands have captured 1,200 other Communist troops, along with some 2,000 weapons. Chinese-manufactured machine guns line the walk leading to Air Cav Major General John Norton's headquarters located near An Khe, a proud display of hard-won enemy weaponry. Air Cav troopers, using the strategy of General Custer's day, have struck swiftly and destructively at the enemy's food supplies: more than 1,000,000 Ibs. of rice have been systematically destroyed in the Air Cav's first year of action...

And presiding as Minister of Finance and Economics is Konan Bédié, 32, a Baoule tribesman with an economics degree from France's University of Poitiers...
...same for the witnesses and their lawyers. They injected into the proceedings enough sound and fury to turn an honest investigation into a mad, futile carnival. These unthinking exhibitionists have crippled the cause they so hotly championed. So costumed Jerry Rubin, an absurd symbol of the entire childish display, waved his cocked hat and bellowed, "I object! I object!" I hope he doesn't mind if his countrymen borrow this cry to voice their opposition to his and his fellows' truly un-American antics...
