( AP ) Lady Bird gives a speech at the 1965 dedication in Washington of a statue of Sam Rayburn, who was speaker of the House for 17 years. "Mr. Sam," as Rayburn was known, died in 1961. A legend in Texas politics, Rayburn was Lyndon Johnson's mentor. He once told Lyndon that marrying Lady Bird was the wisest decision he had ever made. |
