Johnson's Four Year Plan Focuses On Peace and a Great Society
The article outlines President Johnson's expected priorities for a new four year term, including maintaining world peace through patience and firmness, advancing the Great Society to fight poverty and racial injustice, and securing a lasting legacy as a strong, principled leader. It notes assets like his long public service and election mandate, and liabilities such as public concerns about his ethics and business ties. It also covers foreign policy toward the Soviet bloc and NATO, civil rights push, Medicare for the elderly, urban program emphasis, and possible steps to divest from profitable media holdings to address ethical concerns.

Johnson cabinet changes eyed but few reshuffles likely
Washington sources say President Johnson will keep most Kennedy era top officials. Rusk McNamara and Dillon are virtually certain to stay, with Udall Freeman Hodges likely to continue. Wirtz may remain or move to attorney general, with Katzenbach Fortas or Jaworski possible successors.
