...bashful once he has immersed himself in the subject. His associates speak of him as anything but a mere mouthpiece, rather as one who is likely to assert his own and his department's views vigorously. Having total access to the President will be an obvious advantage. Senator Jacob Javits thinks the Nixon-Rogers relationship "might be like that of John and Robert Kennedy." If so, State may regain some of the influence it lost to the Pentagon when it could not compete with the strong leadership of former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara...
Born in another age or in another country, Jacob Jordaens might have been considered a great painter.

Humphrey's New York victory did not faze Republican Jacob Javits, whose plurality exceeded 1,000,000. Among the easily elected conservative Republicans were Illinois' Everett Dirksen, New Hampshire's Norris Cotton, North Dakota's Milton Young, Colorado's Peter Dominick and Utah's Wallace Bennett. Vermont Republican George Aiken, who won the nomination of both major parties, had only one complaint...
