...indeed, and Byrd got the full treatment-including a lunch of potato soup and salad, and a tour around the President's Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, the White House swimming pool, and even, as Byrd later described it, a "little room where he gets his rub." What Lyndon wanted was a promise from Byrd that the Finance Committee would, early in January, report out a bill for a tax cut retroactive to Jan. 1, 1964. Byrd agreed-but only on condition that Johnson first gave the Finance Committee a look at next year's proposed budget figures...
When Billie Sol Estes was tried in Tyler, his lawyers protested TV in vain; the first program opened with a biography of Judge Otis Dunagan. Sponsors included Campbell Soup, Simoniz, Reader's Digest, and the Dallas Morning News. When Stripper Candy Barr got 15 years for possession of one marijuana cigarette, the judge was none other than Deer Hunter Brown; the question in Dallas was how any juror could vote for acquittal when his wife had watched the curvesome defendant...
...console themselves, the rejected suitors organize the first surrealistic camping trip in world history; and before the trip is finished, sober old Vermont turns into a landscape by Salvador Dali. First off, the boys light up a 12-ft. stack of logs-to boil a can of soup. Then they go jeeping across an open field in pursuit of a terrified farmer-whom they try to lasso.

The U.S. Agriculture and Interior departments had their agents appear on TV and radio to plug tuna, played up tuna in food bulletins, and even sent "tuna telegrams" to wholesalers and retailers...
...Paris Ball politely went along with it. But it wasn't wonderful at all. It was a disaster. Glaring klieg lights wrecked the party mood. Camera cables crisscrossed the floor, making dancing treacherous. And faulty equipment on the six cameras made a hack of the schedule. The soup and salad courses never got out of the kitchen, and the entertainment by such as Jacqueline François and Frank Sinatra Jr. finally ended at 5:15 a.m., five hours late. By that time hardly anyone was left. Rose didn't last through dessert...
