Ahead flew a jet cargo plane carrying the bubble-top limousine and the Secret Service's ponderous "Queen Mary." Behind flew two jets with 130 newsmen.

Howard Johnson mainstays are still the frankfurter (20 million served last year) and the hamburger (15 million); Franey not only approves the quality of the ingredients for these French-frightening delicacies but has added his own touches to them.
