it is a book about johnson, but it is not really a book about lyndon johnson. it is really a book about his staff. i wanted to take the focus off the well trodden story which is, lyndon as the great master legislator, and look at exactly how an administration within the space of four and half years built all these programs. after they passed congress and he signed them into law, how did they build medicare and medicaid from the ground up in one year? how did they create programs like head start, food stamps and nutritional programs for children, while desegregating the country and also fighting the war in vietnam and dissembling about it ? so, it is really about the administration, the staff. the way they disassembled the great society and the reassembled it. you can read the next volume. he will dwarf be in detail and insight about johnson the man and perhaps johnson the president. hopefully this book will help people place the great society itself in greater context. brian: is richard goodwin still alive? joshua: yes, he had a number of roles under john kenne
