...Middlebury College, proposed a regional economic program. But no long-range plan can work, as Johnson conceded at a weekend fund-raising dinner in Austin, unless each nation in the area accepts "the right of its neighbors to stable and secure existence." Only then, he added, can they "count upon the friendly help of the United States." Said the President earlier in the week: "To day in the Middle East-as in Viet Nam and America-we are faced with a task of rebuilding, of putting together a human equation, where men can live as the prophet Micah said...

Upon landing they learn that they are not alone: the Czar's men have arrived first...
...Case of Fire. In this book he is ever a model of discretion. In spite of the jacket's phosphorescent hints of lurid reminiscences about Proust and Picasso, Stravinsky and Nijinsky, the author does not intrude upon their saintly privacies. He also rarely allows the reader to enter into his own. He speaks from a distance, less confessor than professor, looking up from his lectern every few moments to savor appreciative glances...
