...subordinates tend not to argue or to bring up the unpleasant business of the public opinion polls. Indeed one of Johnson's problems is a worsening dearth of idea men and "no" men willing to discuss bad news with him. He favors loyalty, submission and long tenure above all other virtues, and has eliminated gadflies from the White House staff and the higher echelons of Government.

The course's intensity is tempered by its meeting only three hours a week; the imagination quails at the idea of a similarly piercing exploration extended to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
