...they not only helped to widen the "credibility gap," which is already causing Lyndon Johnson considerable trouble at home, but enabled Hanoi to use the Salisbury reports to stir up a virulent new round of anti-Americanism from London to New Delhi. Even France's normally prudent Le Monde declared that "not a day passes but that the American press catches the President or his collaborators in the flagrant act of lying...
...week the International Equestrian Federation announced its decision to shift the three-day Olympics riding competition from Mexico City to Oaxtepec, 45 miles away and about 2,800 ft. lower. "Horses," explained Britain's Prince Philip, president of the I.E.F., are inclined to "go on well beyond the prudent limit of effort."

With the President's popularity sagging and racial tension a constant undercurrent, High has found it prudent to skirt national issues and play down his own progressive record on civil rights and legislative reapportionment. On the crime issue, the Bade County government, rather than the Miami mayor's office, has the primary responsibility for law enforcement; yet even to make this point would only underscore the ceremonial nature of his present...
