Lyndon, meanwhile, journeyed to a Governors' reception at the Sheraton-Park Hotel. Mrs. Mark Hatfield, wife of Oregon's Republican Governor, pinned a red carnation on Johnson's lapel. Leaving the Michigan booth, Lyndon called to Republican George Romney, "Pick up the phone and call me any time!" He lingered long, speaking softly to Governor Paul Johnson at the Mississippi booth. Connecticut's John Dempsey urged Lady Bird, with a nod at the President: "Take care of him, sweet Lady...

After dining at the White House with their guests, the Johnsons drove out for the final ceremonials, the Inauguration balls-and that is just what the President had: a ball. At the Mayflower and the Statler Hilton and the Armory and the Shoreham, and what Lyndon calls the Sheraton-Texas (where most Texans made their headquarters), Johnson stopped long enough to say a few words and to shake hands right and left, just as if he were campaigning. He also got into the crush on the dance floor, as the band played oldies like The Way You Look Tonight...

A few die-hard right-wingers tried to delay the foreordained resignation of Goldwater's personally picked national chairman, Dean Burch, but Barry himself wanted no part of that. At the politics-encrusted Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel, Ohio's Ray Bliss was duly acclaimed as Burch's successor amidst a Greek chorus chanting party unity...

...Agree." With equal determination and solemnity, his fists clenched, President Johnson leaned across a rostrum in Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel and addressed some 400 civil rights and Negro leaders at a Community Action Assembly called by the National Urban League. "One of the Presidents I admire most signed the Emancipation Proclamation 100 years ago," he said. "But emancipation was a proclamation and was not a fact.
