Very astute Celia. I suggest you track down the late Robert Wenzel's blog posts on EconomicPolicyJournal regarding "LBJ's grandkids", which was his sardonic reference to the social results of policies that started with LBJ. The ideological grounding for those policies certainly predates LBJ, but he was the primary activator for their execution.

Speaking of execution, I was 10 when Kennedy was assassinated and remember my dad saying that everything was going to change. Even to us kids it felt like something shifted.
I wasn't really very aware of politics in 1960, but I remember my mother's reaction to Kennedy's election: "I hope nobody shoots him, because then that (pause) Johnson will be president."
