...Bend National Park to dramatize her beautify-and see-the-U.S.A. campaigns. Everything came off more or less swimmingly as the ladybird watchers went over the side in search of closeups or simply fell off, like the stretch-pantsed newswoman who jammed her parasol at a ranger's eye as she went under. But the press got their waterlogged copy out, which was the whole idea anyway. As the White House's Bill Moyers cracked: "The New York Times has a picture on Page One -Mrs. Johnson looks like Tom Mix, and Secretary Udall looks like Tonto...
...Bend had not seen such commotion since Pancho Villa tromped over the border in 1916, and it was hardly prepared for the crush. Extra telephone lines and fast-transmission Telex machines were jammed into ranger headquarters at Panther Junction to handle press copy, and a car stood ready to rush outgoing material to the airstrip 120 miles away. For Lady Bird's five-hour raft journey through the wild gorges of the Rio Grande, rangers had floated box lunches, soft drinks and coffee, and portable toilets to the sand bar where the party was to stop for lunch...

Next morning while Christine and her fiancé, Team Trainer Jean Béranger, were studying the course, a vacationing Austrian lost control of her skis at 50 m.p.h. and plowed into the bride-to-be, breaking her right leg and ankle. Ah well, cracked Christine's sister Marielle, herself a slalom champion: "A white plaster cast won't go so badly...
Last May, James Reston decided that the President resembled "the two-gun Texas Ranger, the impulsive giant, tough, restless, fitful and unpredictable." He is given to "disorderly policy-making and capricious personal judgments," said Reston. Sulzberger saw a much different man. "On the surface," he wrote, a casual observer might see an "air of precipitate haste that accompanies presidential decisions when new crises erupt. But underlying such agitation there also appears to be a remark ably calm resolve not to be provoked by minor pinpricks nor to be impelled toward holocaust by local explosions...
