Warning Sign Miscalculation Charged LBJ Team Underrated Mideast Tipoffs
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak charge the Johnson administration delayed reacting to Middle East alarms last fall and winter. They note a vacant assistant secretary post from Oct 19 to Apr 5 and reveal warnings of growing Egypt Soviet ties, Nasser’s tougher stance after the Nov 25 UN resolution, and Foggy Bottom’s reluctance to alter policy.
