Nixon cannot please all as Burger nomination and Midway pullback split views
Paul Harvey argues a president cannot satisfy everyone. Nixon’s Burger nomination drew praise, but the Midway Island withdrawal of 25 000 troops drew mixed reactions. Critics call it tokenism while supporters see potential bargaining gains in Paris. The piece notes alienation among South Vietnamese and mixed domestic responses. A closing anecdote recalls the automatic milk bottle filler patented in 1886.

Washington Merry-Go-Round Confronts Latin Diplomats in DC
In Washington last week two Latin American leaders clashed over U S policy. Chilean Foreign Minister Gabriel Valdes urged an anti U S isolationist stance, while Colombia President Carlos Lleras Restrepo defended inter American cooperation and the OAS.

Also noted: post presidency pay for LBJ, possible U S troop withdrawals from Vietnam, and Senate moves on the Voting Rights Act ahead of Thurmond pressure.
