The Secret of Lyndon Liddy Johnson

Roosevelt was personally fond of LBJ because Johnson was a professional son to him. But more than that, as one of Roosevelt's aides put it to me, you've got to understand these were two political geniuses. When Roosevelt talked to Johnson, I think he meant Johnson understood what he was talking about and Roosevelt knew it. He said in the next couple of generations the balance of power in this country is going to shift to the south and west. And this kid might be the first southern president.
