Married. Dr. Albert Sabin, 60, developer of the oral polio vaccine; and Mrs. Jane Blach Warner, attractive Cincinnati divorcee; both for the second time (his first wife died of a drug overdose last year); in a Reform Jewish ceremony at Cincinnati's Holmes Hospital, where the bridegroom, confined to a wheelchair, was recovering from bites inflicted by his pet dachshund...
Dance with Daddy. The President's daughter can afford to ignore a certain amount of tradition. Because of his position, Lyndon Johnson was placed at the head of the receiving line, and Luci had her first dance with him instead of with her bridegroom.

And so, after a ceremony of 60 minutes, Miss Luci Baines Johnson of the White House and Johnson City, Texas, will become the lawful...
Free Flowers. Most of the arrangements have been completed. Luci and Pat have selected twelve bridesmaids, twelve ushers, a flower girl and a ring bearer. The night before the big day, the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Nugent of Waukegan, ILL., will hold a rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and relatives, probably at a private Washington club. The church service will follow the conventional form...
