Columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak quote a White House aide as saying that "90% of what he does is right, and 90% of the way he does it is wrong." Johnson's pettiness and peevishness, his displays of deceit and conceit have been so frequently documented that what was once a nebulous attitude of indifference on the public's part has crystallized into active dislike...
...have not been rapidly fulfilled. Complains John Razulis, a graduate theology student at St. Michael's College in Toronto: "The bishops came back from the council raising the hopes of the young, and then they ignored what they had said in Rome."

Reported by secular mass media as just another news event, "it was brought down to human size and seen in the context of real life."

Taylor, William F. Buckley Jr., William S. White, Bob Considine and Jim Bishop. For sports, there were Red Smith, Bill Slocum and Jimmy Cannon. And then, besides Buchwald and Schaap, there were Walter Winchell, Harriet Van Home, John McClain, Frank Farrell...
...Publisher Dorothy Schiff, the Justice Department has demanded that some of the syndicated columnists who appeared in the now-defunct Herald Tribune be put on the New York market for competitive bidding. Which means that Mrs. Schiff will have the opportunity to try for Lippmann, Alsop, Buchwald, Evans and Novak. Which columnists she wants, she has not said. "I don't know how the hell she can outbid us unless we get a little complacent," says Conniff...
