To Bob Morton in Texas - I'll be darned!  I've been spreading that story ever since 1963, when LBJ became president! I have no idea of where I heard it first, and it teaches me the lesson that biographical "facts" should be checked before they are repeated, since there is a good chance that they may only be "factoids." Sorry about that...Bob Wilson Beaufort SC (PS - Come to think of it, I actually lived in Texas for 6 months in 1956, well before LBJ came into the White House and while he was still Senate Majority Leader or whatever. Maybe that's where I heard this story first...)
