For those, not you, who wish to learn something about Lyndon Johnson, googling “Lyndon Johnson protege FDR” yields 450,000 hits including a selection from Robert Caro’s LBJ biography “Master of the Senate”

If we could just get that into some really cool cartoons a whole new generation of Texas Eagles could learn what you missed.
