...differences with the White House. Once in a while, his old logorrheic fervor would earn Johnson's displeasure, as when in 1966 he commented on urban riots: "With rats nibbling on my children's toes, I might lead a pretty good revolt myself." He also called for a "Marshall Plan" for the cities when the White House was playing down big new spending programs. But generally he disagreed with few Administration policies. On Viet Nam, Humphrey has pressed for greater social reform, fewer grand search-and-destroy missions...
...long after he was posted to Pe king as French cultural counselor in 1964, Marcel Girard met Premier Chou En-lai and told him of an ambitious plan. He would like, said Girard, to put together the first guidebook to China since the Communists took power in 1949-and indeed, since the Japanese railways tried to produce one in 1924.

With no basic differences in doctrine, the architects of the union have spent most of their time ironing out fine differences in structure-which has not presented a major challenge either, since both church bodies have been principally administered by their bishops, with no single national head...
...Council proceedings and that Cliffies shouldn't burden themselves with responsibility--are indefensible, particularly in the light of the Trustees' shifting positions. In February, the Trustees suggested that RUS modify its demand for four voting Council seats to a request for two non-voting seats. When RUS presented the plan in a new constitution, the Trustees rejected it. Trustee objections to RUS autonomy also suggest a deliberate minister-pretation of student goals. RUS has requested the same type of limited legislating power that many other committees in the administration have, but the Trustees have devoted their time to refuting...
