Because of his position, Lyndon Johnson was placed at the head of the receiving line, and Luci had her first dance with him instead of with her bridegroom. Luci also set a new pattern for brides when she and Pat went out on the south lawn and, stooping down in her wedding regalia, she patted the collie and two beagles.

Bertrand Russell summed up the American outlook as: "Man is lord of the earth: what he wants, he can get by energy and intelligence." By its example, the U.S. showed the world that things could be done, that dreams could be embodied in action, that a better life could...
