...backing of Lieut. Commander Marcus Aurelius Arnheiter, the hyper-zealous skipper of the radar picket destroyer U.S.S. Vance who was removed from his command off Viet Nam (TIME, Dec. 1).

Johnson ended one of the long silent spells with his now-famous "new look" press conference, during which he prowled a makeshift stage in the East Room of the White House like a restless tiger, exuding confidence and control. Before an A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention in December, he lit into the Republican "wooden soldiers of the status quo" who were poleaxing his programs in Congress...
