...Johnson might not be able to resist the temptation to play kingmaker in next year's Senate race. Democrat Ralph Yarborough, an old L.B.J. foe, is up for reelection, and two possible opponents, Republican Representative George Bush and Democratic Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes, have both been out to the ranch. So have two old cronies, Federal Judge Homer Thornberry, whom Johnson unsuccessfully nominated for the Supreme Court last year, and Frank Erwin, a longtime intriguer in Texas Democratic politics...
...through "Boots" Moss, an aide who died in Kennedy's 1964 airplane crash. Now a civil defense adviser in Massachusetts, he was a professional fireman in Andover, Mass., for almost nine years. He was highly trained in all forms of rescue work and, had he been called upon, might have been invaluable on the night of Mary Jo Kopechne's drowning: even if Mary Jo was beyond saving, his presence would have strengthened Ted's claim to have done everything he could for the girl...
...involvement in Viet Nam to a minimum. As last week's debate indicates, his freedom of action is somewhat circumscribed by the Communists, who have shown no willingness to accommodate him. If they continue to gun down his strategy of a phased, orderly U.S. disengagement, the President might be forced to choose between other alternatives-either a precipitous exit that would gravely unnerve Washington's other Asian allies, or a no-holds-barred military policy that would exacerbate antiwar sentiment in the U.S. He must avoid the appearance of either a bug-out or intransigence.

...Washington Economist Miles Colean, "an exposure to equities is like the taste of blood to a young lion." The insurance industry's new look may have an even greater impact on the stock market. If insurers could sell mutual-fund shares to all their 132 million policyholders, they might well generate a torrent of cash. The thought of how much that could lift stock prices is enough to elate some Wall Streeters. The prospect frightens many others. They fear that prices could be driven beyond all relation to underlying values, and reach levels that could not be sustained...
...such an hour?" Miss Arkin likes to ask herself periodically. Well, Country Editor J. C. Barrows could be playing chess as usual. Old Helen Trombley, the town hypochondriac, could be counting her twinges to old Vebber Stevens at the pig farm. Elizabeth Rust, who truly loves her husband, might be making love to Jimmy Clancy at the motel. Down by the quarry, Kenneth Borgstrom, a schoolboy, might be making love to Eunice Dewsnap, a nurse. And Tony DiLuzio, teen-age Lothario, might be making love to just about anybody just about anywhere...
