Near an earthen dam squatted a low, one-room camp house where Connally, 46, and his wife Nellie, 44, spend many weekends. Mounted deer heads, shot by the family, adorn the walls. Indian blankets cover the beds. Changing his clothes, Connally stepped out of his trousers, took off his shirt. "Here is where the bullet came in," he said, pointing to a small pink scar on his right side. "That is where it went out. These scars are where they had the tubes. This is where they made the incision." The wounds, of course, came from the sniper...
Erhard was enchanted by all the Texas trimmings-including the gift of a ten-gallon hat and a choral rendition of Tief in dem Herzen von Texas. But he was even more taken with Johnson himself.

Some bought second and third TV sets; their wives got leopard jackets ("much choicer than mink") and Russian squirrel coats. A local Chrysler dealer had 68 paid-up back orders for cars, while the Ford man stopped taking orders altogether "until we catch up." For winter vacations, Red Deer's travel agents recommend Hawaii, Hong Kong, the West Indies. When summer comes...
Pickled Okra & Oil Lamps. In some ways, Lady Bird's tastes are militantly homespun. Her favorite recipes are for turkey dressing, spinach souffle, double divinity and pickled okra. She likes to watch television, talk on the telephone, hunt deer, shoot doves, take home movies. She recalls with pride her childhood on an isolated Texas farm: "I used an oil lamp until I was nine years old, and I can remember what a big day it was when we finally got indoor plumbing...
