Campaigning for Governor in the Ozarks, Winthrop Rockefeller may look upon Elder Brother Nelson's battle in New York as a polite drawing-room exercise. Winthrop, 54, an Arkansas cattle rancher, is squared off against don't-or-die Segregationist Jim Johnson, a Wallace Democrat who resigned a $20,000-a-year seat on the State Supreme Court to run for a post that pays only $10,000. Typically, Gentleman Jim drives into town, sighs into a loud speaker, "I love all of you and, oh, oh, I do need you," then begins hugging and kissing the crowd...

Chill Wills stars as the rancher, with Ron Hayes and Patrick Wayne as the cowpokes. Old Fooler up stages them all in "A Horse for Jim Ed Love...
...58th birthday, and he celebrated it in the way he likes best-down on the ranch. Temporarily relaxing her watchfulness over her husband's expanding waistline, Lady Bird set a birthday table that included barbecued beef, baked beans, two cakes and homemade peach ice cream. "No hill-country rancher could ever have a better birthday," said the President. "I just can't feel sorry for myself...
