...advocating specific policies, Rogers is not expected to be bashful once he has immersed himself in the subject. His associates speak of him as anything but a mere mouthpiece, rather as one who is likely to assert his own and his department's views vigorously. Having total access to the President will be an obvious advantage. Senator Jacob Javits thinks the Nixon-Rogers relationship "might be like that of John and Robert Kennedy." If so, State may regain some of the influence it lost to the Pentagon when it could not compete with the strong leadership of former Defense...

Some subjects who had previously been able to gauge a five-minute interval with fair accuracy guessed that the same interval was ten minutes after they had had their smokes. One subject said: "I realize why they took our watches. There was a sense of the past disappearing, as happens when you're driving too long without sleeping. It was the same tonight with eating a sandwich. I'd look down and discover that I'd just taken a bite...
