...Clear Day she plays a dual role as Daisy Gamble, a low-brow chick who gains highborn chic when she is hypnotized. With a nod of her head, she goes from side-of-da-mouth to elegant eighteenth century English, from bubble-gum popping to a low purr when crystal wouldn't melt in her mouth. The new voice seems less to be coming from her than through her-a ventriloquistic trick-but it provokes a growl of lusty approval from the audience. And that in itself is justification aplenty for Alan Jay Lerner to have paid Barbara...

After yesterday's milk demonstration a woman asked how she was to pay for this milk that was so important to her kids. Believe it or not, I hadn't even...
Lyndon, of course, accepted second billing after losing the nod to J.F.K., and in the hectic vice-presidential campaign that followed, Moyers alone could control the disarray for which the boss was notorious. He knew the schedules, kept the press informed, proved a whiz at making arrangements. He claims he was no more than "hands and feet" during the entire operation, but Lyndon obviously valued him more highly than that. So did Kennedy's Irish Mafia, whose members found Moyers one of the few Johnson aides with whom they could work. After the inauguration, Moyers was installed...
