An Evening With Tom Johnson, Kyle Longley, Bill Moyers, and Lynda Johnson Robb

On Thursday, June 14, 2018, our Friends of the LBJ Library program focused on 1968, one of the most tumultuous years in American history. In a conversation moderated by Mark K. Updegrove, president and CEO of the LBJ Foundation, our panelists included: LBJ White House aide Tom Johnson; professor and author Kyle Longley; LBJ's press secretary Bill Moyers; and, Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson's daughter, Lynda Johnson Robb.

Loved this panel discussion. Bill Moyer's is so smart and interesting. I love the Johnson daughter(s). WE need more of these from the LBJ Library.

There are tons of interviews from the LBJ library. All very illuminating and interesting. This may be one of the less interesting ones, however. Lynda seems naive and inexperienced, oddly. She certainly doesn't have the confidence or persuasiveness or facility with words that her father had and speaks haltingly and a bit nervously, although she is clearly earnest and comes off as naively sweet. More her mother's daughter than her father's, but she does contribute moments of illuminating detail about Johnson family dynamics in those years. Moyers has refused to ever speak to Robert Caro, so he's always been a slightly devious character, for all his religious pomposity. The others are marginally interesting but there are many other interviews that Updegrove has staged that are more interesting than this one.

She is a terrible addition to any of the discussions that she participates in.
