...Ragtime Two-Step. The light-footedness took place at two White House parties, the annual diplomatic corps reception, and a state dinner for Sir Alec Douglas-Home. Regardless of what the musicians played, samba, cha-cha-cha, Dixieland or waltz, Lyndon kept in time with a simple two-step...
...Regardless of the possibly unified opposition to Clark's proposals from the "conservative coalition" and Senate "club", these two groups disagree on Rule XXII, the filibuster rule.

Among its planks: > I am for the 35-hour week without any increase in labor costs. I favor a college education for everyone regardless of race, creed or pre-entrance intelligence quotas. I am for lifting everyone off the social bottom. In fact, I am for doing away with the social bottom altogether...
