When asked by an aide how he felt about the job last week, Lyndon replied buoyantly: "I have no regrets...
Battalions of workers struggled to plant trees, lay pavement, erect lamp posts. Air-conditioning and simultaneous-translation equipment was installed but not hooked up. Toilets refused to flush. Generators stood uncrated in the sand. At least ten of 65 new villas for visiting chiefs of state had no walls. To add to the confusion at "Shambles-onSea," as newsmen dubbed Des Pins, the multimillion-dollar conference hall at week's end was ripped by a violent explosion-presumably the work of anti-government terrorists...
