Johnson's visiting took him westward, where the political climate was reportedly most favorable to the L.B.J. cause. Preceded by a bevy of "L.B.J. girls" wear ing the official red-white-and-blue L.B.J. uniform and waving a large L.B.J. flag, the Senator got a warm reception in Denver.

With contrasting skill, Paul Lynde plays a teen-ager's father trying to assert himself, first at home, then scene-stealingly...
