Historical NotePresident Johnson was a very doting grandfather when his first grandchild, Patrick Lyndon Nugent, was born. Love for his grandson even went to far as to ease the initial tensions at the Glassboro Summit with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin. Both were recent grandfathers and shared pictures of their grandchildren during the summit.
