Sounding the Trumpet. Next day Johnson was in Ohio, still nonpoliticking. In Cleveland he sent his Secret Service escorts into nervous tremors during the ride from the airport by stopping again and again to plunge into the crowds to shake hands.

Then in 1956 Micheline Muselli Pozzo di Borgo, now 35, met Alan Jay Lerner, now 45, and was soon wooed and wed. That didn't change things. As his fourth wife, she sailed into their English-style East 71st Street Manhattan manse and transformed the 16 rooms (plus eight water loos) into a plush Napoleonic empire...
