...Russian translator on stand-by duty for such an event was rushed to the White House. Concerned, the President hurried to a mahogany conference table in the basement Situation Room of the White House. He was joined there by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Rostow. A map of Viet Nam normally hangs behind the table; in its place hung a huge map of the Middle East...
...showed clearly what rank and importance Press Secretary George Christian has achieved. Day after day, at meetings that were both formal and informal, at breakfasts and lunches, George Christian was a fifth and full-time addition to the executive foursome that usually manages U.S. foreign affairs: Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara and Walt Rostow, the President's Special Assistant for national security affairs...
...repeatedly misunderstood China's interests, intentions and capabilities. In the 1950's, scholars who saw through the myth of monolithic communism and called attention to the peculiarly Chinese nature of communism in China were denounced as something less than honest, wise or loyal.

The student leaders cannot veil the crucial test of strength this petition represents. If the "mainstream" of American youth is asking sharper questions about the war, this petition is certainly inclusive enough to show...
There were two parts to the argument of the article. First, the primary objective is to develop a way to reverse the Vietnam policy represented by President Johnson, Dean Rusk, and Walt Rostow, including, if necessary, the President's defeat in the 1968 election. If the goal were simply "How to Remove LBJ in '68," the title supplied the piece by the New Republic, then Mr. Lardner's jibe about the argument being "internally ridiculous" would be correct, for, if that is one's sole goal, the answer is obvious: vote Republican in 1968. However, things aren't that simple...
