...apparent that the results, for once, would have little immediate effect on the economy. A strike would lay off 450,000 men and idle the nation's most important basic industry-but probably not for long, since President Johnson would almost certainly ask for an in junction under the Taft-Hartley law to keep the mills rolling. Even with a settlement, however, production is sure to tumble sharply as steel customers work off the record 14 million-ton stockpile that they have accumulated as a hedge against a strike...

...home. In 1912, when Lyndon was four, she taught him to read simple primers ("I see the cow") in their Texas hill-country home. Then she sent him trudging a mile down a ranch road, lunch pail in hand, to Kate Deadrich's one-room tin-covered Junction school, where rules were waived to let him enter first grade short of his fifth birthday.

...this season the three networks have been in a near dead heat. Had Aubrey lost his magic? He had once made a purseful of profits from sows' ears such as The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction. But this year ABC had doped out Aubrey's own patterns and produced hits like the gimmicky Bewitched and the slyly prurient Peyton Place. Moreover, the outlook for next year was not good. Big CBS sponsors, such as Lever Bros., General Foods and Bristol-Meyers, took hunks of their business elsewhere...
