...standpoint, was there much rest for the weary. Fentress had hardly touched down in Washington when he was plunging into new interviews about the many issues confronting the President in the summer of 1969. His file provided the bulk of the research for the story written by Keith Johnson and edited by Laurence Barrett. And as the magazine went to press, where was Fentress? In a jet once more, flying west to San Clemente and the West Coast White House, where the President will spend the next month. All of which led Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey to wonder...
...caution and deliberation of Richard Nixon's presidency, which sometimes makes the White House seem like Miltown Mansion. But last week, for a change, the people's business was humming at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and on Capitol Hill at a tempo brisker than any heard since Lyndon Johnson's happiest days?and the tune was pretty much the President's. Nixon returned to the capital early in the week from his round-the-world tour with stops in Asia and Rumania; six days later, he flew to California for a month's vacation on the Pacific oceanfront, with a state...
...important, if narrow, victory. Unlike his Democratic predecessor, however, he had left Congress free to work its will.

A month ago, Nixon met with five anti-ABM Republican Senators, but mentioned the issue only in passing. He understood their position, he said, and they were free to vote as conscience...
...Lyndon Johnson's talent for pressing the flesh, for example, did nothing on his few transatlantic forays to stop the deterioration of U.S.-European relations that resulted from his blunt disregard of America's allies. By contrast, Nixon's recognition of common Atlantic interests has made relations between the U.S. and Europe better than they have been for years. The moon landing left Europeans spellbound, and Charles de Gaulle is no longer France; but some of the credit for improvement in the U.S.-European ambience this year is due to Nixon's February tour of NATO capitals and the sound...
Returning to Manhattan, Dellinger hoped to recruit a delegation that would span the spectrum of the peace movement. After days of negotiations, he settled upon Grace Paley, 46, a New York writer and worker in the Resistance, an antiwar organization; James A. Johnson Jr., a Negro who was one of the "Fort Hood Three"-three Army privates who in 1966 refused to serve in Viet Nam, and Linda...
