Johnson:

Source 1:

An adapted extract from Rowland Evans and Robert Novak’s 1966 book: Lyndon B Johnson:

The exercise of Power. Evans and Novak were US syndicated journalists and television

partners. Evans is reputed to have been great friends with JFK. They wrote books on LBJ,

Nixon and Regan

Johnson’s method for getting his way became known as ‘the Johnson treatment’ and took the

form of supplication, accusation, persuasion, endurance scorn, tears, complaints, the hint of a

threat. It was all these together. It ran the range of human emotions. Its speed and force were

breath-taking, and it was all in one direction. Interjections from the target were rare. Johnson

anticipated them before they could be spoken. He moved in close, his face was a scare

millimetre from his target, his eyes widening and narrowing, his eyebrows rising and falling.

From his pockets poured clippings and memos, statics. Mimicry humour, and the genius of

analogy made the ‘treatment’ an almost hypnotic experience and rendered the target stunned

and helpless.

Quotes:

• He described Vietnam as “that damn little pissant country” and as being

“raggedly-ass little fourth-rate"

• His vie on appeasing an enemy was: “if you let a bully come into your yard

one day, the next day he’ll be up on your porch and the day after that he’ll rape

your wife in your own bed”

• He commented on foreigners: “The trouble with foreigners is that they’re not

like the folks you were reared with”

• He was determined to be the boss: he told his advisors he wanted a “kiss-my-

ass-at-high-noon-in-Marcy's-window and tell me it smells like roses” loyalty

, • On becoming President following Kennedys assassination he said: “I swore to

myself I would carry on. I would continue for my partner who had gone down

ahead of me.”
