Luci and her friends gyrated through the twist and the frug; then the President himself came on with a stomp of uncertain origin that might have been a presidential version of a step teen-agers have dubbed the "bird." To the racy tune of the old Edith Piaf favorite Milord, Lyndon took Luci in a modified bear hug and whirled her around while flapping time to the music with his elbows...
