I think LBJ belongs below Wilson somewheres...... JDG Not even close. For the Civil Rights Act of 1968 _alone_ LBJ gets into my "near-great" Presidents list. Screw Vietnam. Yes, he botched it. He wasn't alone in that. His efforts on behalf of racial justice - that is, the eternal attempt of the United States to redeem itself from its original sin - are so much more important that Vietnam shrinks into insignificance in comparison.
