        .@BeschlossDC there’s the silver star pin. Makes you think of @RobertACaro’s telling of the story behind it.

        @BeschlossDC @JoeHeim Just learned about this last weekend. Docent said LBJ hated it b/c the view of the Capitol was impossible.

        @JoeHeim Supposedly also didn't like that he was holding the book. (Think it was the Bible.) That's everything I know.
