...backup helicopter for President Nixon's Marine One whirred to a stop, the chopper door popped open, and out onto the brand-new White House West helipad stepped the whole Johnson family: Lyndon and Lady Bird, Pat and Luci Nugent, Major Charles Robb and Lynda. They had come all the way from Texas for the latest extravaganza by Richard Nixon Productions Inc., a 61st birthday moveable feast for L.B.J. that started in San Clemente and ended in the new Redwood National Park, 800 miles farther up the California coast. It was an unlikely summit meeting between two old political...
...sits in the lobby with an eleven-button telephone; no one gets past him without an appointment. Johnson either flies into Austin by Air Force helicopter, landing on the roof, or drives in his Lincoln Continental.

Right now, his government is lavishing attention on the Communist governments of Eastern Europe...
That day has come. The Mets started this season in typical fashion. They lost their first game?as they have lost every opening-day game they have ever played?to the league's new expansion team, the Montreal Expos, by the exasperating score of 11-10. By late May, they had lost five more games than they had won. Then, suddenly, they caught fire. They won eleven in a row, the longest winning streak in their history. They slumped briefly in midsummer, but they have since rallied to win twelve of 13 games. As the season turns the Labor...
