L.B.J. related how Bobby Kennedy's Adam's apple went up and down when L.B.J. barred him from the vice-presidential ticket in 1964. "The most important thing a man has to tell you," said John son, "is what he is not telling you." L.B.J. could mimic every adversary. "Don't look out those windows," he warned his staff who were across the street the day after Kennedy's murder. "The people in the White House will think you are looking for power."

For one thing, it would be relatively simple for the Soviets to verify U.S. compliance with the SALT accords because the shelter roofs could all be pulled back simultaneously to allow Soviet satellites to count the MXs.

...first thing you need to know is that there are actually two bureaucracies that will share the Yard with you throughout the year. Massachusetts Hall--the Yard's oldest brick-and-ivy structure--houses the University administration. President Bok and his bevy of vice president oversee the College and all of the graduate schools, as well as all other University affiliates, from this unassuming perch. Across the way, in University Hall, more impressive and dominating by far, sits the College administration--the building's name is meant to confuse you.
