...mother would have been proud of five such fine boys sitting on the dais at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, recipients of medals from the National Institute of Social Sciences "for their signal service" in all fields. There was Philanthropist John D. Ill, 61, who said that he was "the only one who was unemployed"; Nelson, 59, Governor of New York; Laurence, 57, who heads the brothers' charitable foundation; Winthrop, 55, Governor of Arkansas, and David, 52, president of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

It can hardly help figuring to some extent in the 1968 campaign. Since it is merely an indication of sentiment, it is unlikely to cause Johnson any sleepless nights. Its strong language and bipartisan support might, however, induce some thought...
That was not good enough for the Turkish Cabinet. It rejected the Greek reply as "unsatisfactory" and gave the Turkish military the signal to speed up preparations. Antiaircraft batteries suddenly appeared around Ankara, and troops in full battle dress lugged their gear aboard a 37-ship invasion fleet that assembled in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderon, only 40 miles from Cyprus. Greece's alarmed government and military leaders gathered at King Constantine's Tatoi Palace near Athens to draft a final appeal to Turkey...
