...white and blue LBJ button; you'd probably survive about as long as Eichmann would have had he been stripped naked, branded, and let loose in the streets of Tel Aviv. Think of suggesting to an SDS meeting that a petition be circulated to award Walt W. Rostow an honorary (not electric) chair from Harvard. Then speculate for a minute, about telling your friends in Adams House what it is like to machinegun Viet Cong from a helicopter over the Mekong...
...vigor. Seemingly popping up everywhere, the King dashed from TV stations to speakers' platforms to conferences. He appeared on Face the Nation, delivered a major address at Georgetown University, had lunch at Washington's National Press Club, talked with President Johnson, Dean Rusk, Ambassador Goldberg and Walt Rostow.

Other candidates for Reston's sources in this piece are Rusk; Under Secretary of State Nicholas Katzenbach; Walt W. Rostow, special assistant to the President for national security affairs, and McNamara. As a general thing only guidance from men of this rank within the government would encourage Reston or any other reporter to write with such confidence about so sensitive a matter, although more easily than most reporters Reston...
