Humphrey proved to be a better equestrian than onetime Press Secretary Pierre Salinger had been -but not by much. After the ride, he returned to terra firma with a heavy sigh of relief, announced that he would do anything for Johnson but: "No more horses." The President haw-hawed, later shep herded a few people, including Hubert and Muriel Humphrey, on a leisurely sundown tour of the ranch, drawled contentedly about the soil, the rain, and the virtues of the U.S. voter.

The Schatzkammer's most ostentatious piece, an equestrian statue of the knight St. George, has 2,291 diamonds, 406 rubies and 209 pearls-and an artistic value transcending them all.
