Some of Johnson's critics charged that he should have acted much sooner; many did not like the action that he finally took. But almost everyone felt a sense of relief that the President, who of late has tended to let decisions pile up a bit, had at least acted.

...Simple Morality." For all the star dust, the political issues were hardening. Reagan of late has scored the Governor for failure to curb "runaway crime," claims that the state's welfare system gives able-bodied workers "pay for play," and last week rapped Brown's handling of troubles at the University of California as "appeasement of campus malcontents and filthy-speech advocates." The overriding issue, says Reagan, is "simple morality...
