...appearances at Central Texas College in Killeen, the Space Assembly Facility at Michoud, La., and the A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention at Bal Harbour, Fla., Johnson mixed folksiness, fire and factitiousness to concoct a politically potent brew. Over and over again, he poured scorn on "the complainers, the critics, the doubters" and those ubiquitous "nay sayers." Repeatedly he called the roll of his Administration's breakthroughs: Medicare, aid to primary and secondary education, the poverty program and all the rest. Predictably ignoring the fact that he himself slowed down innovation and sought to curb spending increases in the past year...

But it was at Bal Harbour that he was more comfortable politically. Amid the shards of the Johnsonian consensus, most of big labor remains loyal. A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany has already endorsed the President for reelection. The latest federation convention whooped through a resolution supporting the Administration's Viet Nam policy and, with Walter Reuther absent, there was barely a skeptic to be found.

In return, Meany pronounced: "We have made greater progress with this Administration than with any other in my experience-including Franklin Roosevelt...
...think that universities should try to get as much as they can." "Ultimately," he continued, 'this would reflect on colleges in a political way. We can't afford to let universities become a harbour of privilege," because they are too dependent for financial support and their academic independence on society...
After five hours' sleep, the President was wheeled into surgery. The operation proceeded smoothly (see following story) and at 7:20 a.m. Moyers was able to phone a reassuring report to Vice President Hubert Humphrey at the Harbour Square Apartments in southwest Washington. (By agreement with Johnson, Humphrey was authorized to exercise the full powers of the presidency if an emergency arose while Johnson was incapacitated.) Johnson began emerging from the anesthetic less than 15 minutes after surgery, and after a 40-minute nap the President was back in the cockpit...
