Partying with the Johnsons

Last night, the LBJ Foundation celebrated President Johnson's 100th birthday with a big barbecue on the ground of the LBJ Presidential Library at the University of Texas. Thousands of Texans ate Rudy's Barbecue, sipped iced tea and savored ice cream for dessert -- although, unfortunately, the ice cream had run out by the time I got there. Still, it was nice to see all the people there.





As dusk fell over Austin, the U.T. Tower lit up with "100" in a tribute to the lifelong Texan and former 36th President.





In the gathering dusk, the LBJ Library and the beautiful fountain in front of it looked lovely.
