I will be reading this .It’s nice (and surprising) that LBJ would do this.My feeling about him after reading the Caro biography is he was a more flawed Nixon.
I guess I will agree with Dr.Goldberg about him.

I remember at the time of the beagle incident, some wag came up with the appropriate Bible verse, Proverbs 26:17:

“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is
like one that taketh a dog by the ears.”

At the time, I thought it was very funny. In view of this latest development, though, I feel a little guilty about that.

Had I known about this mitzvah at the time, I’d have felt very differently about LBJ, who was obviously a very complicated man.

I knew he liked beagles. But bagels? Who knew.

Wow, that IS interesting. I had no idea.

See Meryl, “that Jesus guy” is good for some things.
