...rate, Richard Nixon went on with every sign of serenity in being President, doing business as usual and assuming an above-it-all posture. Indeed he appeared as isolated as ever, twice going out with only a few aides for Potomac cruises oh the presidential yacht, the Sequoia. For the moment, he seemed in no mood to explain himself more fully to the public, as some of his supporters had suggested...
Privately, Nixon expressed sorrow for the "personal tragedies" of the people involved in Watergate-who, as one high Administration official put it, were "decent, highly principled men motivated by a misguided sense of loyalty" -but there was no sign that he considered the affair especially troublesome.

Although both men were fine clinicians and good scholars, their research credentials did not satisfy the President's committee. Finally in 1966 McClelland and the committee agreed on Professor Norman Garmizey of the University...
...week's end another uneasy truce was in effect in most of the battle areas. A hopeful sign was that it was being supervised by joint patrols of the army and the fedayeen. But the gut issue remained unresolved. The fedayeen seemed prepared to return to the status quo, under which they would continue to control the refugee camps. Franjieh was determined that the control should be shared with Lebanese authorities so that the guerrillas would never again have the freedom that they enjoyed before. Ahead lay the possibility of more battles until the fedayeen give in-or, perhaps...
