...they are leaping off his bridge; gypsies are dancing in his fortunetelling parlor in Bajour. Sherlock Holmes is struggling with Moriarty on his cliffs of Dover in Baker Street; Ben Franklin is still joyously ascending in his balloon; and Dolly is giving her big hello from his Yonkers streetcar. In all, the seven sets account for more than one-third of the shows on Broadway, and all seven are the work of kinetic, white-haired Oliver Smith...

Trooping in and out of his presence have come literally scores of visitors, mostly newsmen and politicians. There were evening meetings with 50 or so Washington bureau chiefs of the major newspapers, magazines and wire services, visiting publishers, Governors, mayors and maybe even dogcatchers. Most of them reported the same thing: Lyndon lounging in a quiet study or in the Oval Room, drinking huge tumblers of a low-calorie...
