...advisers in the Administration and the party, his strategy will encompass five major factors. They are to: 1) freshen the face and sharpen the thrust of Great Society proposals; 2) employ Administration officials, with the exception of the Secretaries of State and Defense, as traveling evangelists for the Johnsonian word in the next few months; 3) stress, in the post-convention period, the human factor rather than the statistical and fiscal in defend ing domestic programs, with heavy use of sophisticated television advertising; 4) revive the enervated Democratic Party apparatus, with emphasis on voter-registration drives; and 5) delay Johnson...

Frei had once more won control of his rebellious party, but he clearly did not yet control...
...Christ three times (the second two temptations are shown in mini-miniature in the background). The principal scene shows the devil in the wilderness offering Christ a rock and boldly challenging him to turn the stone into bread. Christ resists the temptation, and one can almost hear the famous words "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." For a Queen, it was doubtless meant as a gentle reminder that if divinity resists temptation, then so must royalty...
