...expect to be buried under. When my grandchildren see this tree, I want them to think of me as the man who saved Asia and Viet Nam and who did something for the Negroes of this country. Yet I have lost popularity on Viet Nam and on the Negro question." The President's aides claim that Johnson's brooding reached "a point of crystallization" some time last fall. When General William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, visited the U.S. in November, Johnson asked how American troops would react if he refused to run for another term...

As many as three more are now getting close inspection, including such works as Man with a Steel Gorget and Old Woman Cutting Her Nails. Nor is the Met alone in giving fresh attention to Rembrandt's paintings. The National Gallery of London in 1960 demoted three of its then 21 Rembrandts to the status of "attributed to" or "school of."
