        I always wondered at pics from this late period--do you think the hair was a kind of gesture to the anti-war movement?

        I think it was a gesture to totally not caring and knowing he was dying soon. He was certain he was going to die at 65, and he did!

        He planned to do more on domestic policy, "The Great Society". But couldn't be the 1st US president to lose a war, so get that done - tragic

        This old Texas racist became the unsung hero of Civil Rights reform. Nixon wouldn't have done it.

        That's what I was getting at. It's nice to have an intelligent convo on history without some crazy person disputing facts.
