Still, theirs is a marriage bulwarked by genuine, if sometimes uncomfortably showy affection. Lyndon keeps Lady Bird well-informed of his plans and decisions. At times, he will burst into a sedate White House tea, plant a kiss squarely on Lady Bird's forehead and loudly announce, "I love you." On a warm Washington evening, the two may saunter out of the White House, head for the grassy darkness beneath a giant tree. There Lady Bird may lie down with her arms stretched over her head.

With time for only a ledger-eye view, they often wind up either buying nothing or buying unwisely. When the Monsanto Co. recently decided to set up a plant in a Luxembourg town, it discovered too late that the town has acute shortages of both water and labor-but the plant is under construction...
