Summary
He was Washington’s most powerful man, and he knew exactly how to use a newspaper.
Lyndon Johnson courted reporters the way he courted senators: with charm, access and relentless attention. In 1964, the press rewarded him with one of the greatest landslides in American history. It cheered his civil rights fight, mocked his opponent as reckless, and turned a Texas politician into the leader the country trusted after Dallas.
Then came Vietnam.
