As a language student courtesy of N.S.A. in Syracuse University, 1965, we were all mustered before our graduation, to be honored by the attention of LBJ. We each sat with relatives and were in full Blues. We were given one serious admonition: scan the highs and lows and in-betweens for any sign of surreptitious movement. See any? The word "MUZZLE ! ! ! ! !" was code for the SS guys (no, not WE S.S. guys) to smother LBJ with bodies, and drag him off the podium. Oh, how we each wished that hero status would have happened!! It didn't. But that MUZZLE call brings up memories.
