...Nonetheless, Javits takes no chances. In grueling 15-to 20-hour days, he stumps the state, replaying his record as a champion of urban causes and civil rights and his own call for peace in Viet Nam. Once a supporter of L.B.J.'s war policy, Javits began voicing disquiet in February 1967. To O'Dwyer, that makes Javits a Jacob-come-lately to the dovecote. Yet even O'Dwyer does not go far enough for radical New York peace protesters; last week a group heckled him by parading with a pig's head on a platter...
Humphrey aides profess to note a growing sense of disquiet in the nation over Nixon's above-the-battle posture. Moreover, the Vice President's emphasis on the old theme that the Democrats bring prosperity and the Republicans take it away may by paying off; bread and butter is still a tasty dish. Humphrey could find little consolation, however, in the 1948 Truman victory he is trying to emulate. According to a Gallup poll released this week, Humphrey trails Nixon by 15 points, 43 to 28. At roughly the same stage in 1948, a Roper poll showed Truman...
...this ferment translates itself into election results is the yeastiest element of all.

"I'd be in real trouble'" Kennedy told a TIME correspondent after Nebraska "if he got out." And the week before...
...other subjects apparently unconnected with war in order to spot future crises-and perhaps prevent them from degenerating into shooting. "Thinking about national security today," Foster insisted, "must include some explicit analysis of many factors that 50 years ago probably would have been neglected." Fulbright was unmollified, echoing his disquiet over the Pentagon's influence on U.S. foreign policy that expanded under former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. "What you are really saying," Fulbright retorted, "is that the civilian heads of the Department of Defense are assuming the responsibility for making political judgments all over the world...
Autumn Leaves. Taking note of the growing disquiet, newly appointed United Nations Ambassador George Ball warned in a tough speech that it would be "a mistake to expect that anything can be gained by unilateral concessions, or that a show of weakness will make a negotiation go more swiftly, or even go at all." Addressing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ball declared: "I find it both stupid and unattractive when a handful of our countrymen, who have read little history or have not understood what they have read, engage in public self-flagellation, declaring in sanctimonious tones that American policy...
