Actually, Ashmore's letter, written with help from top State Department officials and William Fulbright, was not markedly different from Johnson's. It advised Hanoi that there could be no U.S. bombing pause without "some reciprocal restraint" on its part. The President's letter, more direct and official, called for similar reciprocity...
Negro leaders tended toward restraint. Some of the extreme militants, who actively oppose interracial romance, nattered a bit.

"Get out, get out fast, general!" demanded the weekly Minute, which went on to suggest that it might be time to invoke the constitutional provision that calls for the replacement of the French President when he becomes "disabled." The magazine also ran a full-page cartoon that pictured De Gaulle gagged and sputtering, his arms pinned back by two gorillas, who are getting instructions from Premier Georges Pompidou: "You can let him shake hands.
