...turned out, the divisions were not militarily ready, and had probably not been needed in the first place. Johnson, who certainly does not care to make any such mistakes, has been understandably cautious. But he was being urged to call up at least two "top priority" Guard divisions to fill the service pipeline. Also discussed: extension of present enlistments and an expanded draft call. If the President made any firm decisions, he kept them to himself last week...

But Bill Moyers, only a week in the job, took a puff on a slim cigar and answered evenly that the President had already talked over possible replacements with his staff and would not fill the post until after the funeral services for Stevenson...
