...moment. He knows I think so. We hope he'll run, and I think he has the best chance." As for his own future, Scranton, whose gubernatorial duties continue until next January, did not slam the door on Washington speculation that Lyndon Johnson may want to appoint him an ambassador. "As far as appointive positions are concerned, I haven't given any thought to any of them anywhere, and I won't until I'm out of office."

Thus it was a characteristically canny decision on Lyndon Johnson's part not only to decree the new post of Special Presidential Assistant on Consumer Affairs in January 1964 but also to appoint a woman as the first holder of that office. Her name is Mrs. Esther Peterson, and if gimmickry, guff and guile are ever banished from the Eldorado that U.S. industry has created for the shopper, Esther may well go down in history as St. Peterson...
