Bids for Sympathy. Johnson's concern with his image led, nonetheless, to a mawkish display of official grief over the death of Him, the family beagle that was run over last week by a limousine in the White House driveway. Reporters were solemnly informed of daughter Lynda Bird's reaction (she burst tearfully in on a meeting with Congressmen to tell her father), of Lady Bird's reaction ("It makes you feel you have been hit in the stomach with a hard rock"), of Lyndon's reaction ("We are having a sad time at the White...

When something bothers these men or they need something from Harvard, they go to Whitlock. Last winter, the daughter of one Cambridge City Councillor decided to study in Widener Library; she was asked to leave by library officials because she did not attend the University. In ten minutes, her father was on the phone protesting to Whitlock. When a fire destroyed a Cambridge Church, the congregation wanted to see if one of its pictures would be worth restoring.
