...Trusted. For Johnson, Viet Nam is a two-front war-the military conflict across the Pacific, and the political battle in the U.S. At home, the hostilities seemed to be escalating, despite his efforts to damp down his long-running vendetta with Bobby Kennedy. The feud, which had its beginnings in the 1960 Democratic Convention, flamed into open warfare last month when Bobby returned from Europe amidst rumors that he had received a significant peace feeler in Paris (which...
...Reuther-Meany feud has come into the open again but this time it may be bloody. Early in February, Reuther resigned from the AFL-CIO's powerful executive council and an April meeting of his Auto Workers Union will probably give him the power to pull the union out of the labor federation altogether. A complete split between George Meany, President of the AFL and Walter Reuther, his vice president, and head of the organization's largest union will have grave effects on the entire labor movement...
...police in Medford, Mass., discovered the corpse in the trunk of a gold-colored Mustang. The authorities were neither surprised nor especially agitated. For the state police, it was another entry on the lengthening chart of fratricide among racketeers in Greater Boston.

...what is fast becoming an ugly intragovernmental feud over the creation of an electronics and broadcasting giant, the Justice Department insisted that the FCC had violated the law by not holding more complete hearings.

ABC lawyers contend that a reverse flow will be more likely: at least $140 million will have...
...than the Sino-Soviet bloc ever was. Last week, for example, a meeting of Soviet trade unions branded Mao Tse-tung as "chauvinist, nationalist, anti-Leninist, anti-working class and anti-people." Peking replied that it would "sweep away all vermin, be it U.S. imperialism or Soviet revisionism." The feud has virtually evaporated all ties save diplomatic relations. Students from both countries have returned to their homelands. The last Soviet Friendship Delegation to China, in November, was an exercise in hostility rather than hospitality. Russian and East European journalists have been roughed up with such monotonous regularity in China that...
