Before the President was wheeled off to the operating room, Moyers-an ordained Baptist minister-led Lyndon, Lady Bird and Daughter Luci in prayers. Then, down corridors guarded by somber marines and Secret Service men, the President was moved to the 40-ft-by-20-ft. operating room, with Moyers trotting alongside. Three Secret Service men in surgical masks and gowns scrutinized the operation. A fourth guarded the door of the operating room, while others were positioned throughout the building. The operation went as smoothly as anyone could have hoped, even to the removal of a ragged ¼-in. kidney...
...Chief Executive for her course on "the American President," Lynda Bird Johnson reported that it was "awfully good" to be back at the University of Texas for her senior year after two worrisome, unprivate semesters at George Washington University just down the street from the White House.

Later, Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle of Washington explained that she had merely followed Montgomery's advice, "trusting his judgment and guidance...
...were quick to regret the unnecessary christening. Such unwarranted rebaptisms are clearly on the way out. Last month an Ecumenical Commission of Roman Catholic bishops and theologians, at a historic dialogue with Episcopal clergy in Washington, agreed that conditional baptism should be discouraged. If nothing else, the furor over Luci's rebaptism ought to help the word get around. By spotlighting the fact that "baptism is the one sacrament that unites all Christians," said Episcopal Dean Francis B.
