Because, as an old lady with still a pretty good memory, I remember what seems like every moment of it. Interesting to hear the "adult" perspective in retrospect.

I weep every time I hear Johnson say, "Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President," even though I cheered at the time, at age 16.

Partly because he reminds me so much of my dad, and partly because he is one of our greatest presidents, but Vietnam sank him.

Yes, he was a manipulative SOB. But he did some great things.

OMG, now they're running RFK's speech when MLK was assassinated. I am a puddle.
