119. I don't think much of Sally Quinn,

but we know Doris worked for Johnson. Bugs me to think doing so resulted in 'rumors' such as this. Don't mean to be prudish about this, but how the hell would anyone know? They worked closely together, he appreciated her intellectual talents, they were a 'working pair.'

'In 1967, Kearns went to Washington, D.C., as a White House Fellow during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. Johnson offered the young intern a job as his assistant, an offer that was not withdrawn even after an article by Kearns appeared in The New Republic laying out a scenario for Johnson's removal from office over his conduct of the war in Vietnam.[5]

After Johnson left office in 1969, Kearns taught government at Harvard for ten years, including a course on the American presidency. During this period she also assisted Johnson in drafting his memoirs. Her first book, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, which drew upon her conversations with the late president, was published in 1977.'
