...stubborn willfulness. And he should not delude himself into thinking that he can do everything himself. America today cannot afford vest-pocket government, no matter who wears the vest. The President is trusted not to follow the fluctuations of the public-opinion polls but to bring his own best judgment to bear on the best ideas his Administration can muster.
