Johnson has no illusions about his ability to reshape and reform U.S. life in four years. Although he was an admirer and a protege of Franklin Roosevelt, he still disparages the zealous young New Dealers who sought sweeping national changes overnight.

Concentrating on social activities, Jug End offers all the facilities needed for the proper way to top off the first day of chapped cheeks and tired ankles...
