Last week, after a chat with Jewish War Veterans Commander Malcolm Tarlov, Johnson even found himself in a brief brouhaha with the nation's Jews, over 80% of whom supported him in 1964. During the talk, the President expressed regret at what he felt was a lack of support for his Viet Nam policy among Jewish leaders.

For a time in the row at Hill, Samuel, it even seemed possible that the hard-driving Keith might lose command. With Sherfield's appointment, Keith keeps his chief-executive title but loses some range. "He'll look after the outside of the ark," said Keith, "and I'll look after the inside." Bearsted, having found a neutral and popular successor, keeps a seat on the board...
