Steven is not everybody's idea of an editor, since he goes heavy on local sensationalism, as does the rival Houston Post. But he should have no trouble finding a job. President Johnson, in fact, offered him one or two after inviting him to lunch at the L.B.J. Ranch. But Steven said thanks anyway, not just now. He plans a six-month vacation far from Houston before he makes up another...
