Defense of Dollar Not Successful
Defense of the dollar under President Johnson shows spotty results with only selective gains. The plan aimed to cut the 1967 balance of payments deficit, but six months in, the deficit remains large and unlikely to hit the target. Trade, investment, and spending controls are assessed, noting exemptions and limited progress.

Elderly man defies state tree-cutting near 200-year-old home
Blanco, 78, and his wife Clara refused a State Traffic Department crew access to cut down a maple they say saved his life when a car struck their yard. The two-story colonial has stood nearly 40 years on a widening two-lane road in Poughkeepsie. Officials plan resurfacing and a two-foot shoulder, with no current widening, while Blanco says he will hire a lawyer to protect his property as crews cut down another tree farther down the highway.
