Here in DC they play the LBJ tapes on weekends and evenings on C-SPAN Radio. I catch them sometimes. What comes through to me, loud and clear, is the image of a truly sick and disgusting power-hungry man.

Ike's reaction to Kennedy choosing Johnson as his running mate was,

"He is not a big man. He is a small man. He hasn't got the depth of mind nor the breadth of vision to carry great responsibility."

From page 521 of the Stephen Ambrose 1990 condensed biography of Ike.
