Interviewees discuss the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969).
About
“He was fascinating as a character and bigger than life in every way. He was hard to deal with. He didn't like television, or he didn't want to be on it. I don't know whether he thought he didn't look good or didn't do well.” - Betty Cole Dukert, Producer
