Lyndon Johnson once said about his job, "I wish my mother had lived to see me President." But Jack Klugman, 61, who is preparing for a one-man show on L.B.J., can top that. The veteran actor, best known as TV's crime-busting medical examiner Quincy, quipped: "I wish my mother had lived to see me first a doctor, then President of the U.S." James Prideaux's Lyndon, which opens in Wilmington, Del., next week and moves to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the following week, tells L.B.J.'s life from his halcyon days...

...five sweet victories in the running events against the sluggish Eagles, erasing the better memories of a squad that only broke the wire twice against the fast Cadets in its opening meet. Amy Simon set the pace for the harriers' winning the 1500-meter after a 4:37.4 long one-man show. Next, Patterson raced 55 meters over the hurdles in a winning 8.5 seconds...
