...Israeli government suspended the credentials of three journalists for failing to submit their stories to the military censor. "These reports are totally baseless," said army Chief of Staff Dan Shomron. "The undercover units are subject to military discipline and full supervision."

Goodwin tells how Johnson forced him to attend one of these bathroom meetings. "I remained standing, of course," Goodwin relates, "Johnson had the only seat in the room." Later Goodwin details Johnson's rantings about the Kennedys and "Harvards" and his absurd orders to fire one official or another for perceived acts of disloyalty. At one point, Johnson demanded that one of his top foreign...
