    On March 31, 1968, Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States, became a casually of the war in Vietnam, a war that started years before he became President but which, in his time of leadership, grew in intensity and threatened to disrupt this republic, How the fate of LBJ and the course of the Vietnam War became interlocked is the subject of this study by the Washington columnist and bureau chief of the New York TIMES. It is taken from Mr. Wicker’s new book, JFK & LBJ: A STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF PERSONALITY ON POLITICS,to be published later this month by Morrow.
