18. LBJ did the heavy lifting after JFK died |
|
civil rights and all that was stalled and nearly DOA in congress until LBJ became president and used the emotional state of the nation to push through the civil rights act and other social legislation, much of which may have foundered if JFK had still been pres.
There is a famous quote along the lines of "die young and leave a good looking corpse." JFK was the first popular TV president.
