...built a vi able G.O.P. in Democratic Oklahoma, overcame a 4-to-l registration gap, and carried the state for Richard Nixon in 1960 and himself in 1962. A Marine veteran of Iwo Jima who does not drink, smoke or swear, he delighted the backwoods by scorning a "monkey suit" at his inauguration. As Oklahoma's first G.O.P.

On Tuesday, having decided to take the afternoon off, I picked up my bathing suit and drove with a friend to the Versailles Hotel, where I would swim as his guest. As we walked up to the hotel door, a car swooped by, the doors opened simultaneously, and four men hopped out, wearing Secret Service badges. As I got within ten yards of the door of the hotel, the crowd gathered outside began...
