...many more, he came across as a man of infinite compassion, a leader with unique empathy for the poor, the hungry, the minorities, and all those whom he termed the "suffering children of the world." As Attorney General, his brusqueness often offended high-level politicians and bureaucrats-yet he was ever ready to stand on his desk for half an hour to explain the workings of the Justice Department to a swarm of schoolchildren, whom he always addressed as important, interesting people...
...frying is only one of the penalties that have been risked for the lbis. In 1953, for example, during the tense negotiations between Americans and Korean Communists over the return of American war prisoners, the lbis flew into the national Cold War and the Lampoon rescued it only after high-level embarrassment.

It will also give Watson a chance to come out of obscurity and run his own shop...
George & Martha. In a formal statement, Kennedy accused the White House of lying about the proposed deal whereby Kennedy would have remained out of the race if Johnson appointed a high-level commission to revise Viet Nam policy. The Senator confirmed that he discussed such a plan with De-fensejSecretary Clark Clifford and went ahead with his candidacy only after Johnson rejected the idea. However, Kennedy said, the commission plan was not originally his nor first advanced by him; Johnson, in a conversation with Kennedy Aide Theodore Sorensen had "welcomed" the notion of a commission and asked Sorensen for specific...
