SPECIAL REPORT: Johnson takes over: the untold story . . . by Stewart Alsop:
The rule of Lyndon Johnson began in Dallas when one of John Kennedy's closest
aides reportecU "The President is dead, Mr. Pre Ident." From that moment, the
tasks confronting Johnson were both urgent and historic. He had to guard against
the possibility that a massive attack had been launched to liquidate our country's
leaders, including himself. He had to preserve the appearance of continuity of
the U.S. Government. For practical and political reasons, he wanted desperately
to keep the "Kennedy Team." for, as he confessed, he needed those talented men
more than John Kennedy ever had. in this article, Washington Editor Stewart
Alsop tells what happened, in the participants' words, as a stricken govern-
ment changed hands. And Alsop pays special tribute to Jacqueline Kennedy
for her assistance in preserving the nation's dignity through those tragic weeks.
