...Matter of Propaganda. Initially, Johnson suggested Geneva. Without rejecting the Swiss city outright, Hanoi came back with Pnompenh. Johnson, in turn, pointed out that Cambodia's capital has serious communications shortcomings and that neither the U.S. nor South Viet Nam has an embassy there. Instead, he proposed four other Asian sites (Vientiane, Rangoon, Djakarta and New Delhi...
...Evergreen has led the field. This is no surprise since its editor and publisher is Barney Rosset, 45, president of Grove Press, a house that specializes in erotica and avant-garde authors.

The dream of the anti-war forces, a joint Kennedy-McCarthy attack on the President's policy, is melting in the heat of success. McCarthy seems more than a little annoyed at Kennedy's haste, and remarks half-whimsically that, "the track is getting a little crowded," while Kennedy supporters quietly insist that the Minnesota Senator will be forced...
