Almost daily, the President hopped into his tan station wagon and drove around the 400-acre L.B.J. Ranch to gaze at his menagerie of wild deer, turkeys, antelope and buffalo. In his paneled office, Lady Bird put up a 6-ft.-high balsam tree, speckled with colored lights and topped with a golden-haired angel in a blue brocade dress. The menu for Christmas dinner called for turkey, corn-bread dressing, string beans with almonds, sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping, rolls, cranberry salad, ambrosia and angel-food cake.

In Los Angeles last week, as the smog was temporarily displaced by dry, clear air, residents out for an evening walk could look up to see an unfamiliar and refreshing sight: the stars...
...basic means of gathering food. The eagles are the biggest (up to 15 lbs.) and most powerful birds of prey. A brace of trained golden eagles accounted for 32 foxes and 18 wolves in one recent hunting season in the Soviet Union; even rugged mountain sheep and full-grown deer fall to their claws...
