...diverse and diverting hallmarks of Luci Johnson. The bride-to-be is at once gay and fey and deeply religious. She displays Johnson traits in abundance: she is strong-willed and sensitive, voluble and introspective, fiercely loyal to her family yet irrepressibly independent. Lady Bird describes her younger daughter as both a "sprite" and a "philosopher." Lyndon Johnson once said: "I have known this little ruler all her life. She entered the world with a commanding voice and has been taking over ever since." Luci, who calls herself a "theatrical person" and a "romantic," says mysteriously: "I am a blue...
Norn de Prom. In Milwaukee, Pat knew Beth Jenkins, a close friend of Luci's and daughter of former White House Aide Walter Jenkins. When Beth arranged an expedition to Washington in June 1965 to help celebrate Luci's graduation from National Cathedral School, Pat went along.

...White House. "It's Luci's wedding," he maintains. When pressed, he has insisted: "This is my private life and I will not discuss it." Once, venturing a little further than usual when asked what it was like to be betrothed to a President's daughter, Pat replied succinctly: "I've never been engaged before." Nor, for that matter, has he ever previously been identified with the Democrats. No one will say whether Pat inherited his parents' Republican sympathies or how he voted in 1964-although Tillie Nugent offers the diplomatic guess that...
...still hard to take. After hearing a distinguished federal judge defend Miranda, Alex Kloka, an Ohio police chief, said hotly: "That man had tears in his eyes when he talked about the rights of criminals! How do the victims feel? How does a father feel when his daughter is raped, a husband when his wife is killed?" Judge John Van Voorhis of the New York Court of Appeals ended his own speech with the wry comment, "All I can say to the law-enforcement officers who are here is-I wish you well...
