        Wow! Can you do a side by side with a photo before the presidency? The Vietnam War killed him.

        People looked older back then, but nobody should age that much in just 8 yeats.

        And he really looks like a cardiac patient in that photo. He is one of my favorites to read about. He was a complex person and that informed his social policy.

        I do. My father worked for him. But the Robert Caro books about Johnson are brilliant and well worth the time.

        Also, if you happen to be in Austin, go see the @LBJLibrary. I saw it last summer and it was an interesting look into the man.

        I never got over the shock of seeing LBJ become a longhair in retirement.

        In the end, he adopted the hairstyle of the college kids who forced him from office. Ironic.

        Because of LBJ’s Head Start Program my mom was able work and launch a career instead of staying home with her oldest child.

        One of the greatest moments in American history was on Nov. 22, 1963 when LBJ, with the slain president's widow standing next to him, made sure the world saw a peaceful transition of power as he took the oath of office aboard Air Force One. He was a flawed man, but a true patriot

        Lindon was the kind of Rascal you could love. He never got the credit he deserves. War on poverty, giving the right to vote to everyone, trying to end the Vietnam war and he knew how to get the votes in the house.

        It's difficult to pull my eyes away from this photo. I keep going back to stare at it. It's stunning, & as complex as the man. Thank you @BeschlossDC for sharing.
