...Take care of my girl," the President admonished the ambassador. So when Lynda Bird Johnson, 22, stepped off the tourist section of a TWA jet in Madrid last week, the "unofficial" reception committee resembled the twelve days of Christmas. On hand were U.S. Ambassador to Spain Angier Biddle Duke, his wife, two of her children, the U.S. deputy chief of mission, the ambassador's special assistant, the embassy press attache, two Spanish Foreign Ministry functionaries, six White House Secret Service men, 25 press photographers, and Lynda Bird watchers as thick as pears on a pear tree. After...

...frugging and rubbernecking, Lynda sandwiched in a picnic, slept late in the mornings and had her hair coiffed at one of Madrid's smart salons. On her public forays, she had no bravo's for the ever-present photographers and overprotective Secret Service escorts. Anxious to see Spain as a tourist instead of a celebrity, she finally had a heart-to-heart chat with Robin. Three of the Secret Service men were peeled off, and it was decided to keep her plans a little more guarded from the press, particularly the photographers, whom Senorita L.B.J. dismissed one night...

...process, a true nation 'is emerging out of what once was four major tribal confederations and two or three urban centers. As its leader, Feisal himself was his own best proof of the change last week. In his flowing white robes and gold headband, he flew off to Spain for five days of trade and foreign-investment talks with Francisco Franco. From Madrid he goes on to Washington this week, where he will meet with President Johnson to discuss economic development and other problems of the Middle East. In the old days of Saudi extravagance, there would have been...

...White House issued a cryptic statement indicating that Lynda Bird Johnson, 22, "has begun her summertime travel plans." Everybody thought that she would head straight for Spain to start off a European jaunt. But no, the itinerary veered off to Los Angeles, where Lynda got together with a furry-looking character named George Hamilton, 26, her beau, now bearded for a movie part. While they fox-trotted at a benefit ball, the U.S. Embassy staff in Madrid was scouting around to find a stand-in for George, to escort the young lady while she's there...

Fado is to Portugal what flamenco is to Spain, what the blues is to the U.S. (TIME, Feb. 7, 1964). Yet, unlike those widely exported musical forms, fado has been taken abroad successfully by only one singer: Amália Rodrigues. Last week, at the behest of Conductor Andre Kostelanetz, she made her U.S. concert debut with the New York Philharmonic as part of its summer Promenades series. Singing fado in the rich expanse of Philharmonic Hall-with the audience sitting at café tables sipping champagne and munching Fritos-seemed as out of place as singing spirituals...
