...know that there is enough pentup frustration to literally destroy our major cities--LBJ told us that on national television," Hamilton grimly asserted at an afternoon luncheon meeting. But, the analytic Hamilton succinctly added, "Violence emanating from the black community can be seen in several ways. Riots are an expression: They release frustrations and tensions. But they are functional only in the Fanonish sense of therapy. The problem with riots are first, that they get black people killed and secondly, that they are not politically instrumental. The same people who are involved in riots aren't around for political organization...
...troops or drop the bomb," he told a news conference. "I don't honestly think that this is going to be the answer to our problems at home or to problems internationally." In Detroit, where he spoke at week's end at a Romney fund-raising luncheon, Rocky emerged just long enough from his noncandidate's shell to tell reporters flatly that he would accept a draft at the convention-"if one came about...
Even when a tape recording of the speech proved that Brandt had not insulted De Gaulle, De Gaulle refused to listen, using the episode to embarrass the Germans and crack a whip over their heads. To show the Germans what he thought of them, he summarily canceled luncheon invitations to two visiting Bonn Cabinet ministers, treated President Lübke with frosty politeness and left hanging the threat of a formal French protest.

Pickering's box score: 500 satellites, 13 successful moon missions, 2,000 hours...
Modifications in policy are as subtle for France's President Charles de Gaulle as the erosion of an Alp. Thus grandeur watchers saw a significance of sorts in his presence as host at an official farewell luncheon for U.S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen, 63. While "France does not constantly approve" of American actions, De Gaulle said, getting in a few pro forma licks, the two nations could nevertheless still rely on their "capital of reciprocal interest, attraction and admiration." De Gaulle then intoned a toast to Bohlen, who is returning to Washington as Deputy Under Secretary of State...
