...Korea in 1950, he took command of a combat infantry battalion, fought through the bloody defense of the Pusan perimeter and later was named a regimental commander. Back in the U.S., Johnson became commandant of the Army's elite Command and General Staff College. There he coined a slogan, "Challenge the Assertion"-an attitude that has since won him the admiration of Bob Mc Namara, whose hobby is shattering military shibboleths. In 1963 Johnson moved into the Pentagon as Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations...
...YORK by Andreas Feininger and Kate Simon. 159 pages. Viking. $10; NEW YORK: PEOPLE AND PLACES by Victor Laredo and Percy Seitlin. 192 pages. Reinhold. $12.50. As if to prove that New York is not to be reduced, despite the slogan, to a mere summer festival, a clutch of recently issued picture-and-commentary books have tried to capture the year-round look and feel of the city as its passionate fans know it.

Then he drove through cheering crowds to his neon-lighted United National Independence Party headquarters (formerly a dry-cleaning plant). There he praised his reception as "nonracial, nontribal and purely Zambian." Then the Black Lion, who has shrewdly raised the pay of his soldiers and police to discourage dissension like that which jarred East Africa, made clear that he can be as tough as he is mild-mannered. Said he, addressing himself to his country's often troublesome...
...Oregonians were obviously misled by the meaning of Rockefeller's slogan, "He Cared Enough to Come." It was not Oregon he cared about, but his all-consuming desire to be President. This desire has left New York without a Governor for months at a time. Many Republicans will never forgive him and the so-called Eastern bloc for their smear campaign against Senator Goldwater...
