Senate confirmation. The Democrats claim that Johnson informed Nixon of his plans for Goldberg when the pair met at the White House on Nov. 11. Ignoring probity and protocol, they charge, Nixon then telephoned Warren without informing Johnson and asked the Chief Justice to preside at his swearing-in ceremony and to remain on the court until next June. According to this version, Warren agreed, not knowing of Johnson's intentions...
...conference room first; they finally agreed to enter together, and so ended what was known as the War of the Grand Al liance. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson adopted the rule of "pellmell" for diplomatic meetings-whoever arrived first, entered first. That solution has long since been dropped by protocol-conscious officials. Numerous efforts have been made to regulate matters of precedence. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 established four classes of diplomatic representatives (ambassadors and Papal legates; ministers plenipotentiary; ministers resident; charges d'affaires). Heads of state remained a problem; at Vienna, the conference hall had no fewer than...

"You fool," said the policeman, "if you had kept your mouth shut, you could have lived peacefully." He had no doubt that I was doomed to lose my liberty. Well, perhaps he is right and I am a fool...
...essentials of U.N. diplomacy remain, as Adlai Stevenson once defined them, "protocol, alcohol and Geritol," the 23rd session will likely provide more than usual amounts of vitriol. Czechoslovakia and Viet Nam offer abundant fuel for debate, even though both are absent from the 99-item agenda. But they are effectively out of the U.N.'s scope. Czechoslovakia's new representative, Zdenek Cernik, spread the word that an Assembly debate would be most unhelpful to Prague, and the Russians, who doubtless dictated Cernik's position, vociferously agreed...
