Wonderful insight and story. Really don't know the young Bill Moyers, but will take your word on his growth, because I am an admirer now; have met and talked to Jack Valenti, who is mesmerizing (you are probably aware of him; imperfect, but what a fascinating conversationalist and bright man), and am an unrivaled fan of LBJ's Asst. Sec. of State George Ball, one of the most underrated Americans of all time (read, "The Past Has Another Pattern"). Thanks for sharing this. (And, you correct spelling errors - damn, that's of nucular importance).
