However accurate it may prove to be, any such appraisal from the White House is bound to stir a skeptical reaction. For a growing number of Republican leaders, in particular, no amount of rosy predictions will conceal the fact that Lyndon Johnson is vulnerable on the war issue. That conviction was reinforced during the Labor Day recess, when vacationing Congressmen sounded out their constituents. Said Kentucky's Republican Senator Thruston Morton: "The people I talked to a year ago were saying, 'Bomb hell out of that little country.' Now they're saying...
Stokes, 40, a handsome, articulate lawyer with an outstanding record in the Ohio House of Representatives, has based a low-key campaign on the lackluster administration of Mayor Locher, 52, and the apathy toward ghetto problems at city hall that helped stir four days of rioting last year in the Negro slum district of Hough.

"Think you've got Textron down pat?" the ads read. "What about electronic systems, golf carts, helicopters, chain saws?" Another company troubled by anonymity is Harold Geneen's ITT. "You can stop 15 people in the street and not one will know...
...intriguing because any book by Roth is bound to stir up interest. Although only thirty-four, Roth has published two very good books. In his twenties he brought out Goodbye Columbus, a collection of five stories and a novella, which won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1960; a couple of years later, the novel Letting Go appeared. His other awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship and a grant from the National Institute of Arts and Sciences...
