Emboldened by a burgeoning prosperity, and by the failure of Goldwater to make a reasonable and acceptable case for his own brand of conservatism, Johnson played the electorate like a mighty pipe organ. He drowned out concern over the Bobby Baker scandal and the war in Viet Nam with platitudes about peace, prosperity and prudence. While Goldwater ranted about TVA, social security, the Supreme Court and conventional nuclear weapons, Johnson issued the soothing assurances of a benign protector who promised to save the nation from the welter of international chaos with the sure touch of sober responsibility...
...cornea of the eye is one part of the body that can be transplanted from one human being to another without touching off the immune reaction or rejection mechanism which dooms most skin and organ grafts. Because of this cornea capability, "eye banks" have helped surgeons restore vision to tens of thousands. But at best the banks have difficulty matching supply with demand, and in many parts of the world, where religious scruples intervene, eye banks cannot even get started. Why not use animal corneas...
...know, Martha, something fishy about that movie. Doesn't look like a movie, or sound like a movie. Somebody said it was done by an unemployed T.V. director who had nothing better to do, Larry Peerce (he's Jan's son!).

After California's Governor Pat Brown finished the "co-nominating" speech (it was the first time there had ever been two of them), the strains of Happy Days Are Here Again thundered from a giant pipe organ, and a 25-minute demonstration for Lyndon began. It had more noise (klaxons, foghorns, etc.) and color (yellow balloons, tiny parachutes with American flags, sunflower posters for Kansas, gold-foil sunbursts for California and real corn for Iowa) than most such orgies, but those outside the hall saw very little...
Golden Rule. In political speeches, Goldwater generally forgoes organ-tone wind-ups appealing to Providence. But he almost always stresses the religious underpinnings of his political philosophy. Said he in his San Francisco acceptance speech: "Those who seek to take your liberty, those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen, must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for Divine Will. And this nation was founded upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom...
