...Queens teen, picked Astronaut Gus Grissom, 39, for her private hero four years ago, sent him letters and gifts and kept hoping that one day . . . Now Gus and John Young were safely down from their Gemini voyage into space, and in Manhattan for the parades and banquets. Into the Waldorf-Astoria marched Andrea, and ran right up to the dais, where she handed the startled Grissom a pair of square Florentine cuff links and a tie clasp, then burst into tears.

To his right and to his left, white-tied politicians traded good-natured gibes in the spirit of the Al Smith memorial dinner that Francis Cardinal Spellman stages each year. But the guest of honor smiled wanly or not at all. When his time came to speak, he cut his talk in half, delivered it in a hoarse monotone. Lyndon Johnson looked for all the world as if he had just...
