No problem we cant solve together. I believe that with the right people working together, that is possible. And the more people that try and help solve the problem, the more likely a quick resolution.

Having written a dissertation on LBJ, this take on Johnson is on the mark. As you may know, I lived in Austin from 1978-2024 and was a UT-Austin faculty member until I retired in 2019. I wish I had been there when you visited. While I worked with you during your tenure as the editor of the Iowa City Press Citizen (and remain grateful for publishing dozens of my op-eds), I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person. BTW: Your essays are excellent!

Thanks Rich - I hadn’t been that much of an LBJ guy until I toured the library and museum. We need a “tough” liberal approach like his again, IMO!

Like I said, plenty of flaws, but working for the fundamental good.

Yes, "plenty of flaws, but working for the fundamental good." Tragic watching now that so much of the good is being destroyed.
