Johnson's central grip risks undercuting aides and Rusk
A critique grows that Lyndon B. Johnson handles many tasks personally, sidelining aides like Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Reports describe Rusk learning of astronauts McDivitt and Walz flight only eight hours before takeoff, after Johnson announced it at a State Department reception. The trip, meant to counter Soviet interest at the Paris air show, faced early opposition from Rusk and NASA chief Wess. If Rusk remains sidelined, a new secretary may be needed to restore input and control.
