Well, in Canada it would be having Winters beat Trudeau in '68 for the Liberal leadership, having Daniel Johnson Sr. live in Quebec to beat the crap out of Bourassa's left-leaning Liberals in 1970, and Paul Hellyer dying in a car crash, thus preventing Armed Forces unification.

LBJ will not shake up the Cabinet before January 1965- he did not want to upset the Kennedy legacy. This was something he genuinely believed in & with few exceptions the JFK Cabinet remained throughout Johnson's tenure. The only one who will be leaving no matter what is RFK- for obvious personal and political reasons. He's aiming for 1972 through the Senate. McNamara will stay on because as LBJ correctly judged until 1967, McNamara was more a company man than anything else.
I'm don't think you need to avoid it and I'm not sure that the Hippies are avoidable; by '59, the New Left was set in motion.

5. Do the public corporation thing with other major industry leaders, such as agriculture, health, telecomm, transport, energy, etc.
