Popping up in New York City to reopen the World's Fair, he shared the limelight with a new friend, James Nathan Jr., 3, from The Bronx. Without a single line of oratory, he caused a small traffic jam on Broadway as he left the musical Any Wednesday, next night got caught in the celebrity jam that turned out to see Rudolf Nureyev on the Royal Ballet's opening night. Then off to Norfolk, Va., for a luncheon speech on Viet Nam. Up to Washington to present awards to Agriculture Department employees whose ideas had saved the Government...
