...KUWAIT sent some $10 million to Beirut. Though prosperous, Kuwait is also jittery. Aged, gouty Emir Abdullah as-Sabah broke off medical treatment in Bombay to rush home last week and deal with a Cabinet crisis that boils down to a clash within the Emir's own numerous and irascible family. On top of that, a wrangle between Kuwaiti merchants and a British importing firm that had a monopoly on the liquor trade resulted in an unsettling solution: the Assembly imposed prohibition...
...secret is, Lyndon gives and takes," a fellow Senate Democrat once explained. "If you go along with him, he gives you a little here and there-a dam, or support for a bill." While he was Senate majority leader, Johnson's "treatment" became famous. In cloak room and corridor, in his baronial office or right out on the floor of the chamber, he would go to work on a colleague -squeezing his elbow, draping a huge paw over his shoulder, poking him in the chest, leaning so close as to be practically rubbing noses.

The most egregious example is his treatment of the controversy over the tragic Warsaw uprising in the summer of 1944. The consensus of Western historians holds that Stalin apparently held back the capture of that city until the anti-Communist Polish underground was destroyed by the Germans. After a seesawing summary of the argument, but without substantial new evidence, Werth...
