...President takes to 22-mile-long Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, often searching out a secluded cove where he and his party can have privacy from peering eyes. Clamping down his yellow golfer's cap, clenching the wheel like a vise, Johnson really opens up the throttle, leaving broad wakes and gaping mouths behind him.

A broad middle-of-the-road band of M.P.s chimed in, too, complaining that Wilson had hardly provided the "firm and purposive government" that he had promised. And there was general worry over the continuing weakness of the pound, which has had to be rescued by the world's bankers again...
