For them, the discouraging turning point was the public's reaction to Lyndon Johnson's decision to attack the oil depots around Hanoi and Haiphong: an overwhelming four out of every five Americans said that they approved of the bombing...

...hardest to avoid: an automatic further pay increase of up to 60 an hour if the cost of living keeps rising at about its present pace. With that, the mechanics will not only keep their rank as the nation's top-paid industrial production workers (runners-up: oil workers, at $3.37 an hour), but will also collect more than civilian pilot instructors at U.S. Air Force bases, who average $3.60 an hour...
