...Lyndon. But the odes to Lyndon Johnson were far more meaningful. Indiana's Freshman Vance Hartke (an avowed political enemy of fellow Hoosier Butler, who opposed Hartke's nomination last year) fairly wooed the muse: "His hand has been firm on the tiller, insisting that the ship of state not founder on the rocks of partisanship. No one who has sat in this chamber could question for a moment the man most responsible for this state of the nation. He is Lyndon B. Johnson."

The hospital will be built in the village of Chania, 30 miles northeast of Nairobi, will be free for Africans, whose fellow tribesmen may contribute to hospital bills by bartering produce or working in the hospital gardens...
...Fellow scholars tend to agree. The jutting jaw is there; so are the wide, clear eyes, large, firm mouth, and long, slightly turned-up nose. The features are the same as in the next earliest Jefferson portrait known, painted by Mather Brown in 1786. But that picture shows a man marked by struggle, who has come through one of the most momentous decades in human history.
