I was reading old NYT articles on Caro yesterday. Today, I find a link to this on one of the politics blogs I frequent. It's a good piece...Caro is probably the best political biographer of our time. http://www.esquire.com/features/what...bert-caro-0110 This made me lol:

Lyndon Johnson had guys who'd now be called administrative assistants stand right over him as he was taking a shit. I mean, right over him. He'd say, "Come in here." Or he'd use some device: "Let me see that letter." Or "I want to dictate something to you." That was how he exercised power over people.
