...work in Room 2751, he urged them not to "plant your feet in concrete" but to "put the national interest first." Setting the stage for a Taft-Hartley injunction in case all else failed, he read economic reports warning of the "tragic consequences" of a strike, quoted one document from a Defense Department agency claiming that it "could not afford the loss of a single day's production...
...dimly lighted third-floor office in downtown Santo Domingo, Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó and five of his rebel lieutenants quietly put their signatures on a document entitled the Dominican Act of Reconciliation. A few hours later, in the Dominican Congressional Palace across town, four other officers, who had supported the loyalist junta of Brigadier General Antonio Imbert Barrera, added their names with equal severity.

The prospect is that it will get further revision. "We could use another year to work...
...Timing. New York's Charles E. Goodell, chairman of the committee that produced the white paper, described it as "a work of scholarship" rather than a political document. He was right: it stated the history of the war dispassionately-if selectively-but as a vote getter or reputation smircher it was a dud. Ike declined to support the Republican paper, as did Everett Dirksen, who, like Eisenhower, has backed L.B.J. all the way on Viet...
