During the preliminaries, beaming Lyndon table-hopped through the hall and on through the two tents pitched to handle overflow diners, shook hands, cracked jokes ("You discovered oil here in Pennsylvania, but we get all the blame").

The next, they were TV's own beef trust. Their teeth were glittering, their biceps bulging, their pistols blazing right there in the living room; it was more fun, as they say in Texas, than raisin' hell and puttin' a chunk under...
