...danced with Julie Eisenhower and with Pat, who in a rare moment of public affection kissed him warmly on the cheek. He also danced with Lynda Robb until her husband cut in. When Eddie's father, Howard Cox, drew Mamie Eisenhower onto the floor for a dance, a cheer erupted from the crowd, as it had for the President's first step. Then Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cox, still dressed in their full wedding costumes, left in a limousine from the North Portico for their honeymoon. The band played Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye...
...stickers (SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU), posters, buttons (THE MESSIAH is THE MESSAGE) and, inevitably, a Jesus-People wristwatch. Some followers are affecting a Christ couture: white pants and tunics, Mexican-peasant style. There are de rigueur catch phrases: endless "Praise Gods" and "Bless Yous."

The relatively unknown three-term Representative has light-years to go before he can make that claim; a recent Gallup poll of registered Republicans showed that only 1% would want him to be the party...
There was little to cheer about when the congress turned to another item of business: plotting a five-year economic plan. Husák denounced the principle of "market economy" toward which such other East bloc nations as Poland and Hungary are slowly but steadily moving. Czechoslovakia will instead adhere to "economic management by a single national plan." Thus the Czechoslovak leader committed his country to the same sort of stifling centralization that almost ruined its economy in pre-Dubč days and has plagued the Soviet Union's economy with ruinous inefficiencies.
