...destroy secret documents, Bucher installed an electric paper shredder and a small incinerator. The burner was totally inadequate for the amount of classified material Pueblo would carry. But Bucher could not know that because he was not even cleared for access to the ship's supersecret "research" compartment. His request for either a twin-mount 20-mm. or single-mount 40-mm. cannons to defend his vessel went unheeded by Navy brass. Instead, he was issued two .50-cal. machine guns that would be useless against another ship. The basic problem, said Bucher, was money. The original...
...cover the cost of transition, including the hiring of clerks to answer the hundreds of letters that continue to pour in. As a former President, Johnson has a pension of $25,000 a year, an $80,000 office allowance, free medical care, free postage, plus lifetime protection by the Secret Service.

Sirhan's lawyers admitted that they tend to distrust bankers (they are too used to saying "no"), overly beautiful women (too self-centered) and anybody who seems too eager...
...Secret Vote. To bring some sense out of this anarchy, the White Paper would empower the government to 1) order a union to hold a secret vote when a major strike is threatened, 2) delay walkouts by ordering a 28-day "conciliation pause" and 3) impose settlements in jurisdictional disputes that union leaders are unable to resolve among themselves.
