...good bloke!" cried one old lady, and Lyndon felt that way about the blokes who lined the roads. Driving into Canberra, the President stopped his motorcade nine times to wade into cheering crowds, keeping Governor General Richard Casey waiting 30 minutes as a result. The performance left Prime Minister Harold Holt, who is up for re-election Nov. 26, in something of a daze. "I'm glad you're not standing for Prime Minister," he told Lyndon...

By his own choice, Miller was tried without a jury, and he argued that the law denied his First Amendment rights of free speech and protest. U.S. District Judge Harold Tyler Jr. was not impressed; he gave Miller a three-year sentence, suspending it on condition that he carry a new card and obey all lawful draft board orders. Last week the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld Tyler's decision, thus endorsing the new law as constitutional...
