Dave,
Hmm?????????
This is before I was even born, but not by much. I have heard many things on both side of the aisle about Johnson.
One theory heard was that Johnson actually was a part of it, not just paid off, but actually involved in the whole scheme. He was the one who wnated to escallate the war.
On the other side, I had a humanities professor in college who adored him. THought his "great society" was the best thing that ever happened. Told us that many of his writings showed he was a good and compassionate man. He hated the war.
How does a person know what to believe?
