JOSEPH PARRISH, Chicago Tribune
Secretary of State Dean Rusk, President Johnson, and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara reel back from a bomb that has landed in the mid-term elections of 1966. As the Vietnam War became increasingly unpopular, Democrats facing elections called for cease-fires or threatened to splinter the party over American involvement in the war. While the Republican Party made gains, Democrats continued to control the House and the Senate after the November election.
