ANCHORWOMAN: Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams are locked in a virtual dead heat. ANCHORWOMAN: Everybody wants to know what’s happening in Georgia, still a toss up there, as we’re waiting for a number of votes to come in.

  • Lady Bird Johnson
    LADY BIRD JOHNSON Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson was born Claudia Alta Taylor in Karnack, Texas on December 22, 1912. Mrs. Johnson's father was Thomas Jefferson Taylor, owner of a general store who declared himself "dealer in everything." Her mother, Minnie Pattillo Taylor, died when the little girl was but five-years old. She had two older brothers, Tommy and Tony. After her mother's death, Mrs. Johnson's Aunt Effie Pattillo moved to Karnack to look after her. At an early age, a nursemaid said she was "as purty as a lady bird" -- thereafter she became known to her family and friends as "Lady Bird." Mrs. Johnson grew up in the "Brick House" and attended a small rural elementary school in Harrison County, Texas. She graduated from Marshall High School in 1928, and attended Saint Mary's Episcopal School for Girls in Dallas from 1928 to 1930. Mrs. Johnson entered the University of Texas in 1930 and received a bachelor of arts degree in 1933 with a major in history. She earned a journalism degree in 1934. Many colleges and universities have awarded Mrs. Johnson honorary degrees. She supports and continues to be very interested in the activities of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum and the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, both located on The University of Texas campus in Austin. After a whirlwind courtship, Claudia Alta Taylor and Lyndon Baines Johnson were married on November 17, 1934 at Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas. Two daughters were born to the Johnsons: Lynda Bird Johnson (1944) (Mrs.

  • Lyndon B. Johnson, "Let Us Continue" (27 November 1963)
    Voices of Democracy 4 (2009): 97‐119 Barrett 97 LYNDON B. JOHNSON, "LET US CONTINUE" (27 NOVEMBER 1963) Ashley Barrett Baylor University Abstract "Let Us Continue" was one of the most important speeches of Lyndon Johnson's political career; it served as a gateway to the leadership and legitimacy he needed for his presidency to succeed. This essay investigates the composition of "Let Us Continue" and seeks to rightfully accredit Horace Busby as the most important speechwriter to contribute to its artistry and success. The essay also emphasizes the obstacles Johnson confronted in his ascension to the Oval Office. Key Words: Lyndon Baines Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Theodore Sorensen, Horace Busby, presidential assassination, and speechwriting. All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today. The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time. Today John Fitzgerald Kennedy lives on in the immortal words and works that he left behind. He lives on in the minds and memories of mankind. He lives on in the hearts of his countrymen. No words are sad enough to express our sense of loss. (2‐7)1 Lyndon Baines Johnson November 27, 1963 The assassination of President John F. Kennedy represented a period of national mourning for the young leader's tragic loss. Although the "president's ratings in the polls were as low as they had ever been," Americans struggled to process the tragedy and feared the threat to their national security.2 No one realized these threats better than Lyndon B.

Johnson presidency is unique in its collection of recordings of the chief executive’s activities. In the 1960s, the White House Naval Photographic Unit (NPC) began producing films that highlighted special presidential trips, visits, and events. Commander Thomas Atkins produced these films for the NPC, starting in 1963 in the John F. Kennedy administration and continuing through the Johnson years. About 43 of the 70+ films are available for viewing on the Lyndon B. Johnson Library’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL853F6EAB74B64D1D . Hofstra University’s Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency has a full digitized set of the Atkins films, which are available for research in the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library’s Special Collections room. In the summer of 2013, Ms. Nancy Lindemeyer (who, along with her husband, Robert Lindemeyer, served with Commander Atkins in the Navy) contacted Hofstra on behalf of the Atkins family to see if the Kalikow Center might be a suitable repository for the collection. Thanks to the generosity of the Atkins family and the cheerful, unstinting efforts of the Lindemeyers, the original 16 mm films were transferred to DVDs and became part of Hofstra’s holdings in 2015.

UpDEGROVE 11 ROBERT A. CARO 14 LUCI BAINES JOHNSON 22 WILLIAM J. VANDEN HEUVEL 24 MICHAEL BESCHLOSS 26 RANDALL B. WOODS 31 IRA KATZNELSON 39 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 43 H PREFACE In January of 2011, Roosevelt House Advisory Board member and President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Chief Domestic Advisor Joseph Califano introduced the idea of a conference considering Johnson’s domestic legacy. We could think of no more fitting a venue than Roosevelt House, the former home of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After all, President Roosevelt was President Johnson’s hero, and historians trace the inspiration for LBJ’s ambitious Great Society to FDR’s historic New Deal legislation. Roosevelt House, a landmarked double-townhouse on East 65th Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, was the historic New York City home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin’s mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. After Sara’s death in 1941, President Roosevelt was pleased to sell their home to Hunter College for use as a student center. An integral part of the College since 1943, the House has undergone an extensive renovation and reopened in spring 2010 as the home of the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College. The transformation of Roosevelt House into a state-of-the-art facility for the College provides the first living memorial to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt in New York City and an exciting opportunity to build on their far-reaching contributions to the nation and the world.

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number67-17803 CNICA40 PUBLICLIIRARY MAY 14 1968 M Preface Close by the Capital in Washington there is a building with a misleading name - the Library of Congress. Actually it is our National Library. To this building flows, from all corners of the country, a torrent of books, for the public laws of the United States state that in order to obtain a copyright on any work of fiction or non-fiction, two copies must first be dispatched to the Library of Congress. That explains why, the last time a count was taken, there were found to be 12,752,000 different titles on the shelves. For each title, a 3 x 5 card is made, out and put into the proper place in drawers that stretch as far as the eye can see. The drawers are 17 inches deep, with 98 cards per inch, except that so many people thumb through these files \\ that the upper right corners of the cards gradually acquire a film of grease and dirt.
