re: #13 Vicious Babushka

The LBJ quote is from Ronald Kessler’s book, Inside the White House.

Johnson, like other presidents, would often reveal his true motivations in asides that the press never picked up. During one trip, Johnson was discussing his proposed civil rights bill with two governors. Explaining why it was so important to him, he said it was simple: “I’ll have them n***ers voting Democratic for two hundred years.”

The citation is from an interview with Robert Macmillan, an Air Force One steward, in 1993.

Google Books is awesome.
