...through the tiring ordeal with the grace of a princess born and the tact of a diplomat. She could speak gently of her own engagement (to James Hanson, a wealthy young British businessman), which had been broken off after Roman Holiday was finished.

(for William) Muntz as merely another California screwball when he invaded their city and their business four years ago. They knew that "Madman" Muntz's zany advertising, depicting himself as a lunatic in a Napoleon hat ("I buy 'em retail, sell 'em wholesale.

Catching a Lady Bird. It was at this stage of his life that the brash young Texan caught Lady Bird (christened Claudia Alta Taylor), the bright, charming daughter of a millionaire Texas rancher. Johnson organized his campaign and surrounded her in typical fashion. The day they met in Austin he asked for and got a date for breakfast the next morning; he courted her for three days until he had to go back to Washington, then kept up a steady fire of letters and telephone calls.
