...Building Bellicosity. Should a real crunch develop in the Mideast, would the U.S.-in the absence of U.N. action-intervene? In a speech at Newport News, Va., the President dropped an oblique hint that it would feel strongly compelled to do so. The occasion was the launching of the 61,450-ton attack carrier John F. Kennedy, christened by Caroline Kennedy, 9, with her mother Jacqueline standing alongside as matron of honor and a clutch of Kennedys near by.
