Lyndon Johnson took a notion to press the flesh with the folks in Omaha and Des Moines last week. Invited along were Daughter Luci Baines and Fiancé Pat Nugent, who attracted their share of attention-and then some. Luci, who admits to being a "theatrical person," wore a dazzling orange dress and outsized, orange-rimmed sunglasses.

But what about Schmerber's contention that the whole procedure abridged his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and his Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure? The Fifth, answered Brennan, only prohibits "the use of physical or moral compulsion to extort communications" from a person. It does not exclude the "body as evidence when it may be material."
