Galbraith called the President last Thursday, urging him to "do everything possible" to protect Papandreou's life. Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, Under Secretary of State, relayed the President's assurances to Galbraith later that day.

It had taken Johnson 148 days to publicly remove the "Acting" from Katzenbach's title in 1965-and Ramsey was kept waiting precisely the same number of days. The President broke the news with that touch of coyness that has become almost a trademark. Having dropped...
