White House Viet Nam policy and Senate pro left influence
Ralph de Toledano argues that President Johnson and the White House may be pivoting toward domestic concerns and appeasement in Viet Nam, amid a rising pro left Senate revolt led by Fulbright and Kennedy. He warns such shifts threaten anti Communist resolve, citing Vietnam’s ambassadorial shifts and Saigon’s reliance on Washington, including Lodge and the CIA, and recalls Diem’s overthrow as a cautionary result of American meddling.

Senator Soaper and the curious survey note
A fragmented column surveys women in car startups on cold mornings and cites broader civic aims. It questions participation in walking programs funded by fitness councils and airport designers, then shifts to sports bragging rights between Milwaukee and Atlanta and a quirky hotel elevator image with a visiting baseball team. The United Nations is mentioned in a slower pay nations context as a tease.
