...later in her home. In 1912, when Lyndon was four, she taught him to read simple primers ("I see the cow") in their Texas hill-country home. Then she sent him trudging a mile down a ranch road, lunch pail in hand, to Kate Deadrich's one-room tin-covered Junction school, where rules were waived to let him enter first grade short of his fifth birthday. Mrs. Johnson's aim was not wholly pedagogical: with the lively Lyndon confined to school from 9 to 4, he was less likely to fall into the Pedernales River...

Its aim was unequivocal: to scramble the industry so thoroughly that it could never be returned to private hands again...
...strike deadline: Sept. 1. Dave McDonald, who intends to contest Abel's election, immediately announced that the union considered the 11½? figure only a "floor," will seek to get much more in the bargaining to come. In fact, McDonald had to ride out cries of a "tin cup" agreement in a stormy, three-hour union meeting before he got final approval for the settlement.
