Lady Bird's reaction was reasonable enough. But her aides seemed to be ready to treat the incident like the theft of an atomic secret. Anyone who would abscond with such a letter was obviously "untrustworthy," Liz told the press, and the whole affair might be a "security matter." Two Secret Service men were dispatched to Hamilton's office to extract the name of the letter seller...
...considered intellectuals, but there are exceptions. Most doctors are out, but psychoanalysts have a chance-not if they write books about marriage adjustment, but if they discourse on things like the pathology of the cold war.

...desegregated school's and in northern ghettoes, I had heretofore overlooked the susceptibility of those children to "sentimental demonstrations." Mr. Smock tells us exactly the stuff of those demonstrations: "childish naivete is set against hopeless circumstances for maximum pathos." I'll have to remember that the next time I treat a young Negro delinquent of seven or eight, already tough, yet soon, in treatment, able to speak his fears and confusions...
