...surrounded the camp, the Vietnamese officer in charge confessed that they had stopped in the last paddyfield to cook their own breakfast. Last week, in a Jeep bouncing along the dirt road outside Tanan in the Mekong Delta, a young U.S. Army captain cheerfully explained to TIME Correspondent Frank McCulloch how a new "clear and hold" operation was to sweep his area clean of Communists. In mid-sentence he stopped, ordered his driver to turn around. Just ahead, atop a tree, rippled the yellow-starred flag of the Viet Cong, a unit of which had evidently managed to slip back...
They were confronted by a coalition of non-Dixie Democrats and Republicans headed by Minority Leader Charles Halleck and Ohio's William McCulloch, ranking G.O.P. member of the Judiciary Committee.

"In the interests of the best legislation that could be devised," said Smith seriously, "I wish you would suggest it to your chairman." "Oh," replied Willis, cheerfully, "I would be delighted to do it. I'll carry the message to Garcia, but I'm not sure...
...even though the differences were not broad, it would be a bitter pill for Democrat Kennedy to have to accept a Republican civil rights package. But at week's end White House aides were busy trying to draft a compromise package. Still, Judiciary's Senior Republican McCulloch was hopeful. "There is more evidence," said he, "of a desire to write legislation in this field, where legislation is desperately needed, than there has been in a long time.
