Things are probably not quite that bad; the French have a taste for hyperbole. But the big Bordeaux daily SudOuest found that 66.2% of its readers polled were pessimistic about how France and its people would fare in 1969. Sensing the country's disquiet, De Gaulle conceded to his ministers at a recent Cabinet meeting that "the atmosphere in France is melancholic...
...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.

Bobby Kennedy, who presents himself as the patent holder of youthful disquiet, found that out last week in Oregon. By virtue of his expertise, diligence and money, and buoyed by a string of primary victories, Kennedy came into Oregon the odds-on favorite. His overconfidence was so manifest that he had come to regard McCarthy as merely a foil for his own continued success. "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...
