...alone, dear," says Lady Bird Johnson, seated at the breakfast table with her husband. "You can refer to him by name instead of 'my opponent.' " ∙Gushes the sweet young thing to her studious male escort: "I guess I am to you what Cuba is to Russia-friendly, but expensive!" ∙To the police sergeant, the patrolman explains a fact of modern life: "You can tell the delinquents who come from affluent families-instead of razors they use electric carving knives!" These needle-sharp political gibes are the work of James O. Berry, 32, whose cartoon feature, Berry...

Henceforth information about the Party was to come only from Jackson, and lobbyists were instructed to refer curious newsmen and delegates "to the Mississippi office." In view of the number of Northern delegates still to be won over, the directive seemed ludicrously impractical. There were however several good reasons...
