...only by its circumspection, the President's address seemed to rebut speculation that he would not seek another term. Rather, Lyndon Johnson was clearly intent on showing his critics that he has a steady hand on the controls at a difficult period in U.S. history.

One junior stated, "I will go to jail before I'll go to Vietnam, but I would have fought against Hitler." Another admitted that he can conceive in theory a just war which he would support...
