...arduous years, President Johnson has sought in vain to end the war in Viet Nam, and-with little more success-to convince the world that this is indeed his aim. Abruptly, and to his own surprise, the President last month got an assist from the adversary. By a vituperative rejection of the latest U.S. peace proposal, North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh displayed unmistakably his own hawk's plumage. Last week U.N.

Divorced, he reflects that his own children "are left to find their own security and their own definitions of success, as my father did, out of the indecision and cripplings which fate has given them. Fair enough; they are back in history, true to their fathers...
