...covered the fighting there have laid down a barrage of hastily written books about the crisis, mostly echoing Senator William Fulbright's plaint that Washington was guilty of "overreaction." The most cogent and authoritative account of the affair, Overtaken by Events (Doubleday), was published last week, adding significant ly to history's vindication of President Johnson's action. Its author: John Bartlow Martin, 51, U.S. ambassador to Santo Domingo from 1962 to 1964, and, as Johnson's special envoy, one of the key American officials in the Dominican capital during last year's civil...

The practice paid off handsome ly. From its improbably precise launch, made within a tiny, two-second "win dow" of time, to its all-but-perfect splashdown 21 miles from the recovery carrier Guam, Gemini 11 proved to be an able instructor indeed...

Anxious to support Republicanism's leading moderate voice, Whitney chipped in $1,200,000, took a stock option, finally decided to convert the loan to a controlling interest and see what he and his Wall Street troops could do.
