Well, Kennedy had nothing at all on Lyndon Johnson in the matter of visibility. Last week, after a fast round of golf at suburban Maryland's Burning Tree Golf Club, Johnson entertained a king, tossed out the opening-day ball for the Washington Senators, popped out of the White House to reach through the southeast gate and shake hands with tourists, in a single day made four speeches totaling some 7,000 words, and presided at not one but two news conferences...

The world's largest coal-loading dock has been built by the Norfolk and Western Railroad, and savings and loan assets have quadrupled in the past ten years. Population has doubled since the war. And with the bridge, the city will finally...
