...GERALD FORD was nothing more or less than a good-natured lunk, the political equivalent of his friend Joe Garagiola. Lyndon Johnson ventured that Ford played football without a helmet; that jab came to sum up the former Michigan center, who actually played with his helmet, and very well, too--oddly enough, the notoriously clumsy Ford was probably the best athlete of any President of the 20th century.

Today her workers produce 1,500 pairs a day, though it still takes some 200 separate steps to make a single boot. Another oldtimer is T.C.
