...implication remained that Nixon had become a kind of coPresident, and Johnson decided to weigh in with some explanations of his own the next day. With Murphy at his elbow, Johnson told reporters that "of course, the decisions that will be made between now and January 20th will be made by this President and by this Secretary of State and by this Secretary of Defense." Despite the caveats from both sides, the objective sought by Johnson and Nixon-to let Washington speak "with one voice," as Nixon put it-remained reasonably clear. On the Viet Nam talks (see THE WORLD...
...disguise him en route to the White House, Abrams walked into the Cabinet Room and sat down at the President's left. Johnson brought him up to date on the pending decision, then asked for his military assessment. While other advisers listened silently, the President leaned on his elbow and kneaded his face. Then he shot a vital question at Abrams: "Has it reached the point where we could reduce the bombing without causing casualties?" Abrams looked squarely at the President, his jaw firm.

Toomey had a pulled hip muscle for which he was being treated with cortisone. Even so, in the first test, the 100-meter dash, Toomey hit the tape in 10.4 sec., best time of the day and good enough for 959 points under the complicated decathlon scoring system.* Then...
COMPARED to this summer's gala bash at Fenway Park, the McCarthy rally at the Garden last Friday was pretty tame stuff. Naturally there were plenty of good reasons for all the elbow room and the lack of ecstasy over the predictable sloganeering. Gene has been swamped at Chicago, Nixon, the sabre-rattling cop, was heading into the homestretch with a big lead, the Vietnam war seemed ready to take an astonishingly civilized turn, and the Garden in the fall isn't Fenway in midsummer...
