...exchange with Kosygin during the Arab-Israeli War contained that conflict on terms acceptable to both the U.S. and Russia. Johnson's artful cajolery ended the rail crisis in 1964, and his masterful manipulation of Congress in the early days of his presidency helped him to clean up a log jam of domestic programs that had been forming since the days of the New Deal. He has also proved himself capable of remarkable restraint, particularly in the face of Charles de Gaulle's persistent provocations...
Singing Kings. Short of moving midnight Mass at St. Patrick's into prime time, the easy out on the variety hours is to light a yule log and invite the family for a singalong. Not to be outdone by Andy Williams, who featured his wife, two children and 38 relatives on his show, last week Dean Martin turned the cameras on his wife and seven children as well as Frank Sinatra and his clan (Mia was conspicuously absent). But for sheer numbers, no one can outdo the singing King Family, who last week turned out 45 strong for their...
...Things Work has any notable failing, it is that in many cases its anonymous authors, with Teutonic thoroughness, tell more about devices and I processes than most people want to know. To explain the way a safety match works, for example, they begin with a log not yet stripped of its bark.

Etiquette & Close Support. In the log he noted that Arnheiter once drank spiked eggnog aboard, and kept a pitcher of brandy in the officers' mess to pour over his peaches and ice cream-a blatant violation of nonalcoholic Navy Regulations. At a ship's party in Guam, the skipper ordered Generous to sit cross-legged at his feet, and had another officer roll up his trouser legs and act as a "pompom girl." He also ordered his officers to give impromptu speeches at dinner on cultural subjects (sample theme: "Opera-Box Etiquette in Milano"). But it was Arnheiter...
Eroded Authority. Word of Arnheiter's aberrations quickly reached higher headquarters-most likely via the chaplain corps. Three months after he assumed command, the Vance was ordered to Manila for refitting and Arnheiter was summarily relieved. After a subsequent hearing, at which the "Mad Log" was rewritten into 38 pages of anti-Arnheiter testimony, Vice Admiral B. J. Semmes Jr., chief of naval personnel, declared Arnheiter guilty of "a gross lack of judgment and inability to lead people." Arnheiter now holds a minor post in San Francisco; Hardy, 32, is a lieutenant commander in Key West, Fla.; Generous...
