LBJ understood the power of pork very very well!
Example, remember the movie “The Right Stuff”. The scene were LBJ as VP puts on the big carnival like extravaganza to show case him bring the NASA space center to Houston Texas. He shouts “Lookee! Lookee! What I Brought You!”. That scene has always disgusted me even though it’s likely not completely fiction. It’s brilliant cinema! Growing up in WV where at one)time they tried to name everything Byrd!
typo
The scene were ... = The scene where ...
I’m from Houston, always disliked LBJ but liked NASA being there.
