They are to: 1) freshen the face and sharpen the thrust of Great Society proposals; 2) employ Administration officials, with the exception of the Secretaries of State and Defense, as traveling evangelists for the Johnsonian word in the next few months; 3) stress, in the post-convention period, the human factor rather than the statistical and fiscal in defend ing domestic programs, with heavy use of sophisticated television advertising; 4) revive the enervated Democratic Party apparatus, with emphasis...
