Next day, after a visit with wounded Viet Nam veterans at Walter Reed Hospital, he appeared before a high-spirited crowd of 6,000 Democrats at a $100-a-plate dinner in Washington and unloosed an oldfashioned, stump politician's spellbinder-and, this time, some far broader barbs at Fulbright. When Johnson rose to speak, he glanced a dozen seats down the head table where the Arkansas Senator sat. Said the President: "I am delighted to be here tonight with many of my very old friends-as well as some members of the Foreign Relations Committee." Chairman Fulbright, wearing...
...personal visit to the wounded veterans of Viet Nam-many of them amputees-was the President's only means of showing his own gratitude, and he was visibly moved by the experience. Walking through Ward 34 and the officers' Ward 1, shaking hands with each man, his voice sank to a strained, barely audible whisper as he murmured over and over: "Your country is grateful...

...know what else to do. In today's medicine, both the scene and the sentiment are badly out of date. The child would be in an oxygen tent in a hospital, festooned with tubes, watched over by bustling nurses or electronic monitors, banished from her parents (visiting hours, 9-11 a.m.), and lucky to get a brief visit from the doctor once or twice a day. Instead of Old Doc's bedside manner, the modern physician depends on a panoply of new skills, drugs and facilities that save many a patient his predecessor would have lost. The father...
