LYNDON B. JOHNSON Hardback book with Dust Jacket by William S. White Over 270 pages FIFTH PRINTING Copyright © 1964 BY WILLIAM SMITH WHITE " Lyndon Johnson came to the White House with professional qualifications unsurpassed in the long history of the Presidency, and William S. White comes to the writing of this book similarly qualified as a journalist.
"No one in Washington stands much higher in Lyndon Johnson's affection," Time has reported.
"The President loyally reads White's column ...
and he is not above calling White for advice ...
Johnson pays White the ultimate compliment of putting nothing off the record, relying on total discretion of his friend. " " " The President and the journalist, both Texans, met in Washington in 1933, when Lyndon Johnson was a Congressional secretary and White was a reporter for the Associate Press.
Over the years their friendship became close and permanent.
As a result there is probably no one in the United States who understands better than William S. White the early influences which formed Lyndon Johnson, the techniques and qualities which earned him a dominant position in the government, and the view of life and of the political process which make him so well qualified to occupy the White House. " " This, then, is not just another book about the thirty-sixth President of the United States. It is instead a uniquely personal yet professional evaluation.
