8. I recently watched the show on PBS called "1964"....

They showed a clip of Johnson's SOTU address and when they panned the crowd there were NO women, at least in the shots they showed.

I just have to interject here that as a senior and a woman I am thrilled to death to see so many women in this one and can only hope that someday it is a 50/50 mix.

Just an aside.......
