He was a Texas cowboy who was one of the most powerful U.S. Senate leaders in the ’50s who went El Dorado Ensemble to Perform on to get elected U.S. President. The second guy, another Texan, rose to Speaker of the House in the ’50s Capricious Italians too. Between him and Johnson, Texas ran Capitol Hill. The third guy was legendary Chicago mayor Richard J. A 17th-Century Musical Journey Daley. None were afraid to lead and all did it with great relish. I always liked Johnson even when I disagreed with him over the Vietnam Wear. I felt bad for him when he was chased from office in 1968. His legacy was tarnished by his own pride. The Vietnam War policy wasn’t work- ing well and instead of reassessing things, he plowed in deeper with more troops. I expected better from him on foreign policy. The highlight of his presidency was his successful passing of civil rights legislation. He was able to lead above others. He took on the conservative South and made it happen as only a Southerner could. How- ever, his war policy was horrible and his presidency will always be equally remembered by that negative action. Whenever, I go down to Austin, Texas, I make it a point to stop inside the Johnson Presidential Library at the University of Texas and relive those long ago days when I disagreed with my president, I respected his attempts to lead. Not true for me today. Recently, an author named Mark K. Updegrove put together a portrait of LBJ that captured his essence. The book is called, “Indomitable Will-LBJ in the Presidency.” I read an ad for this book with a quote from Jimmy Carter, “I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand Lyndon Johnson and his presidency. It is an entertaining as well as enlight- ening book.” Normally, if Jimmy Carter is recommend- ing something, I turn in the other direction. However; this book really sounds good.
