...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...
Minnesota's U.S. 61 clings close to the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to New Orleans, spanning swamps and lowlands to hug the shore.

Usually they are ringed with inscriptions: phrases from Melville and Whitman, or commands in broken stencil type such as EAT, HUG, LOVE, DIE, or ERR. These curt verbs, he believes, represent the vocabulary of the American dream, the "optimistic, generous, and naive" philosophy of plenty that is often mistaken for all the philosophy that the U.S. lives...
