Though the reception was cordial in most places, the First Lady was deluged with hostile confetti at a social service center in Portland, Ore. Each scrap of paper was imprinted: "If this was napalm, you would be dead." This greeting, planned by a protest group that has offices in the same building, was accompanied by banners and placards taunting her about Viet Nam and hunger. As Pat gamely launched into her speech, seven barefoot girls in black burst into the hall and chanted an antiwar hex on her in crude doggerel...

Some of them are worried that Pompidou might bring too many outsiders into his Cabinet, while others, notably former Justice Minister René Capitant, are fretting that Pompidou will not pursue De Gaulle's social schemes, such as worker participation in management...
...this last year or two, has loomed the inescapable fact that you are destined-some would say doomed-to be a king.

(Halberstam, now 35 and an editor of Harper's magazine, won a Pulitzer prize for his 1963 New York Times coverage of Viet Nam.) He begins his account in the late summer of 1967 with a meeting between Bobby and Allard Lowenstem, a leader of the gathering anti-Johnson forces. He follows the Senator through his doomed campaign, ending with...
