Oldest Home Some buildings are hiding a lot of history and heritage. For example, theres the lovely Spanish style home of Rick Huchel at 13 North Second East. Its stucco walls, blue wood trim, and tile roof would seem to but reflect a Spanish heritage the house actually boasts a pioneer background that goes back to an early Scandinavian settler. In fact, the Huchel home is probably the oldest standing home in Brigham City. Huchel can point across the park to a location one block east where John Rees built the first adobe home in the city, which has been torn down for a more modern home. Huchels was the second adobe home built in the city about 1855 by Christian Hansen for his two wives, with another home added to the north for a third wife in later years. Since Christian Hansen was manager of the United Order dairy, theres an added element of history in the little house. So Huchel is very interested in digging out the pedigree of his home, which has been in the family since 1930.

Lyndon Johnson, his biography, an analysis of his character and the structure of American politics are the subjects of this remarkable book by Doris Kearns. Ms. Kearns met Johnson as a White House Fellow in 1967 and became his friend, assistant and confidante until his death in 1973. She writes a sensitive and revealing story of the man, his but at yearning to do right any cost; his surprisingly ambiguous feelings about intellectuals; his obsession with Robert Kennedy; his crippling incapacity to present himself effectively in public; his extraordinary acheivements in the Senate, in civil rights, and with the Great Society; and the meaning of his and our failure in Viet Nam. In the last years of his life he revealed himself to Ms. Kearns in seeming desperation to leave some understanding of who he was and of what had happened to his life.
