This week Pollster Sam Lubell reports that about one-third of the people interviewed by Lubell consider Johnson to be a "better President" than Kennedy. The corollary: two-thirds still think that Kennedy was the better President -and if practical accomplishment alone is to be the criterion, that is an odd judgment. The fact is that people want and need legends as well as accomplishments; the ability to lift, to inspire-to become legendary-is in itself an accomplishment no less concrete because it is intangible...
Already allied planes-U.S. Navy, Marine and Air Force fighter-bombers, plus those of the South Vietnamese-are tightening the noose around the factory-rich region. In the last month, U.S. planes have attacked 13 SAM missile sites, mostly in the complex, one of them only 22 miles from Hanoi, the closest strike yet to the Red capital. For the first time, American aircraft last week lashed out at the vital communications link between Hanoi and Haiphong, loosing 49 tons of bombs on a rail and highway bridge. In two other missions, they blasted the main railway...
Dodge City. The real threat is on the ground, and missions near Hanoi and Haiphong are predictably the most hazardous of the air war, for it is there that the North Vietnamese have concentrated the bulk of their antiaircraft guns and SAM sites. More often than not, a key target must be cleared all the way through the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon before the pilots take off.

...smile that rarely came unstuck, she wangled stories that eluded others. By lining up a screen test for a stage-struck court official at the Finch-Tregoff murder trial in California in 1960, she got inside information on the jury's deliberations. Her chumminess with the judge at Sam Sheppard's trial earned her more than one scoop-besides bringing sharp criticism for the judge by a U.S. District Court when it heard Dr. Sam's appeal. Dorothy had the good journeyman's talent for catching accurate detail, as well as a sharp...
Reverse Backlash. In Nashville one parishioner canceled a $500 pledge to Calvary Methodist Church after the pastor, the Rev. Sam R. Dodson Jr., led a protest march of ministers against segregation; another layman at once raised his pledge by $500. In Alabama, when one Presbyterian church cut off the minister's car allowance because he had helped out-of-state civil rights demonstrators, a group of laymen within the church formed a committee to make up the difference out of their own pockets. Presbyterian Frank H. Stroup, chief executive of the Philadelphia presbytery, acknowledges opposition to his church...
