...military leaders, the Senate subcommittee said that as a result the U.S. has failed to mount "a systematic, timely and hard-hitting, integrated air campaign against the vital North Viet Nam targets. This policy has not done the job and has been contrary to the best military judgment...
Jackson was certainly down. The unemployment office still refused to recognize his eligibility for compensation because Linsenmeyer had appealed the judgment, leaving Jackson technically unable to prove his employment. He was told, however, that in order to keep his claim alive he would have to refile it every week. He had a pickup truck, but it needed five tires and work on the engine. So for 100 straight weeks, Jackson hitchhiked the 28-mile round trip between his cottage and the city to re-enter the fruitless unemployment application.

Quiet Sale. But without directly notifying Jackson, Sears's lawyer, Paul Primock, quietly got a court order for execution on the judgment.

In this womb with no view, he is at ease, cheerful, convinced that the country and the world are in tolerably good condition. His judgment is reinforced by the cables and memos that reach his desk. From a sheaf of papers, he will recite encouraging tidings from his military advisers, a favorable report from Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker on the South Vietnamese election campaign, a note from Jack Valenti assuring him of his popularity. Mrs. Johnson...
