Downstairs, Lyndon ushers his guests into the State Dining Room, seats them on straight-backed chairs for briefings, usually by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and one or two other Cabinet members. Some Congressmen feel that this part of the evening is a treatment, not a treat. "It mostly sounded to me like a political tub thumping," groused Kansas Republican William Avery.

...German Jew who settled in Paris as a ten-year-old cello prodigy and later studied composition with Cherubini, Offenbach churned out musiquettes galore for his beloved Bouffes-Parisiens. The two works that Darmstadt saw, The Transformed Cat and Daphnis and Chloe, are quintessential Offenbach.

Red with rage, Tumulty snapped: "He has been too kind, too loyal and wonderful to me to receive such treatment at my hands." Tumulty and Grayson warned Lansing that if anyone tried to remove the President, they would fight him tooth and nail...
...cattlemen sooner or later have to thin their herds, marginal operators drop out-and prices begin to recover. Besides, as the Agriculture Department made a point of noting last week, Lyndon Johnson, as a cattle raiser himself, is very much interested in seeing that ranchers get the right treatment...
