From the Paper:

"Lyndon Baines Johnson was responsible for the greatest domestic legislation this country has ever seen. Through his proposal and support of bills concerning race, poverty, and the rights of Americans in general, Johnson created an equal playing field in America. Sadly, many Americans remember Johnson only as the President who was responsible for sending their generation to Vietnam. His tremendous accomplishments were often overshadowed by chants by the vocal minority's taunts of "Hey, hey LBJ! How many boys did you kill today?" Johnson sought victory at home and abroad. He was victorious in our own backyard, but not on the other side of the world. Johnson's legacy will remain one of greatness for those that understand him as a very complex man who loved his country."
