Overtaken by Events. Johnson appeared impassive throughout. While he gave no hint of his innermost thoughts, White House correspondents guessed that his feelings were ambivalent. The invasion damaged his master plan for further accommodation with the Rus sians. But it also put him back in the center of action and, all too clearly, discomfited the Democrats who most loud ly condemn his war policy...
This Little Piggy. The yippies want merely to mock the system. During a five day "Festival of Life," they plan to nominate a pig named Pigasus for President.

Rich enough to begin with (a construction magnate worth at least $150 million), the hero is a willing and corrupt tool of Conglomerate, a group of large corporations that plan to exploit national lands for their own interest. He expects to become Conglomerate's chairman, and is obviously a bigger rascal than most Congressmen. But the plot is familiar, and the novel admittedly originated as an agent's suggestion designed to capitalize on Pearson's role...
