...greeted its 200,000th visitor last summer. The modest white frame house is something more than "restored." All the rooms are furnished as parlors, stuffed with turn-of-the-century furniture and L.B.J. memorabilia.

"The convention atmosphere itself encourages you to consider very carefully," says Kaler, "You don't operate in a vacuum. Every instrument of public opinion is focused on you. If you wear a delegate badge, five people stop you before you can get across...
