Holy Crap. I never was a big fan of LBJ, but the first third of this book is completely destroying *any* regard I may have had.
I'll finish the book, but it's a good thing it's not paper or it would have been thrown at the wall too many times already.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had Caro's
The Years of Lyndon Johnson - The Passage of Power (1960-64) on my TBR. I'm adding [I]The Years of Lyndon Johnson - Master of the Senate[/I to my TBR (sigh, so many books, so little time)
