They should be. During Lyndon Johnson's three decades in Washington, the community has been transformed from a decaying, unpaved cow town into a humming tourist mecca. As Congressman, Senator, Vice President and President, Johnson City's native son has showered largesse on his home hill country. First, in New Deal days, came the Lower Colorado River Authority, whose dams harnessed and tamed waters that had ravaged the countryside. Then he won for Johnson City the Pedernales Co-Op, which today provides power from the authority's steam plants to some 18,500 customers in seven counties...
Beneath crystal chandeliers inside Hradcany Castle, on a high hill over looking Prague, the party and government leaders of Czechoslovakia gathered to observe the 50th anniversary of their independence from Austro-Hungarian rule. The moment was solemn - and cautious. "I beg you not to demonstrate," Josef Smrkovský, President of the National Assembly, had pleaded with the students of Prague's Charles University. "Would it be surprising if tanks appeared? If you demonstrate, we might all be sorry."

Those Kennedy clan touch-football sessions were wild and woolly for their day.

Hand and Foot. The son of an Auckland garage owner, McLaren started tinkering with cars at 15, after a horseback-riding injury ruled out the usual boyhood sports. That same year, he entered his father's Austin in a hill-climbing race and finished second in his class. By the time he was 21 he had established himself as his country's foremost driver; so off he went to Europe to try his hand and foot at big-time racing. For the next five years, he learned his craft as a member of the Cooper factory team, working...
...Business Is Big Business." A spellbinding orator, Criswell was chosen by First Baptist in rather an odd way. A graduate of Baylor University, he happened to be preaching in a small Kentucky backwoods church one Sunday in 1934 when a prominent Baptist layman from Nashville, John L. Hill, was present. Hill never forgot the sermon. After the death in 1944 of First Baptist's best-known preacher, Dr. George W. Truett, the congregation consulted Hill about a successor. He wrote back: "W. A. Criswell is the only man in all the earth...
