In Austin I stopped in at the LBJ presidential library & museum. It is an absolutely huge building where only a few of the floors are set aside for museum stuff.
All pics here.
Massive building.
LBJ was a huge guy and he used his large body to great political effect.
Something I really liked about the museum is that you could lift up a phone and push a button to hear lots and lots of recorded conversation with LBJ and other notabilities at the time. I came away with a whole new appreciation of what a great talker he was.
There were lots of examples of LBJ's jokes and stories.
LBJ and JFK did not go well together and the vice president was shut out of the important stuff for most of the latter's presidency. LBJ's relationship with Bobby Kennedy can only be described as pure hatred.
