...issue to finance their half. Still, Lyndon Johnson gets the credit for most improvements: there is a Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in nearby Kingsland, a Lyndon B. Johnson High School, a Lyndon Baines Johnson State Park, and several roads bearing the presidential name. In the Texas state capital of Austin-an hour's drive from Johnson City-there will be the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library at the University of Texas. About the only local institution that does not commemorate L.B.J. is Johnson City itself, which was named for his pioneer forebears...
Hand and Foot. The son of an Auckland garage owner, McLaren started tinkering with cars at 15, after a horseback-riding injury ruled out the usual boyhood sports. That same year, he entered his father's Austin in a hill-climbing race and finished second in his class. By the time he was 21 he had established himself as his country's foremost driver; so off he went to Europe to try his hand and foot at big-time racing.

The next week it zeroes in on the President: "Texas produced some great men: Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin and Lyndon Johnson. Two out of three isn't bad." And the once risky subjects of race, religion and nationality are treated just as irreverently. "Who put the last seven bullets into Mussolini? Three hundred Italian sharpshooters...
...Danforth has been on the trail with Muskie, whom he has come to admire as "a good guy with a little-known sense of humor, somewhere between Will Rogers' and Russell Bakers'." Fentress, with Nixon, is impressed by his perfectly programmed movements. Hugh Sidey and John Austin are also with Nixon, and Charles Eisendrath is traveling with Agnew, Hays Gorey with Humphrey. Arlie Schardt and Roger Williams cover George Wallace, whom they find surprisingly amiable in private but unexciting to cover because he sticks to one speech and seldom bothers with position papers or shifts in strategy...
