...spoke without notes or lectern, in marked contrast to the wrap-around electronic prompters Lyndon Johnson regularly uses. Because of the ease and experience that he gained on camera in the 1968 campaign, he plans to make repeated informal use of TV in his Administration to get even closer to U.S. firesides than Franklin Roosevelt did with his celebrated radio chats.
