Johnson McGovern unity talk fails to heal deep splits

The private meeting between Lyndon Johnson and George McGovern yielded little substance beyond cosmetic optics. Vietnam policy and defense posture remain starkly divergent, with Johnson less wary of Greece involvement and McGovern advocating different priorities.

Congress Now GOP Target

Washington GOP strategists shift focus from Nixon re election to winning a Republican Congress. Senate gains look likeliest with 19 Republican seats up, while House gains to approach control hinge on regional races and Southern defections if Nixon sweeps.
