Acknowledgments
Because much of this book is based on documents in the Lyndon B. Johnson Library, it could not have been written without the help of those who made access available. I thank the library for the access and all the archivists, especially Nancy Smith and Linda Hanson, for their help in finding the material used here. Anyone who has ever attempted to negotiate a way through the thousands of cartons of documents in a presidential library knows the value of such assistance. Thanks go also to the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation for its Moody Grant to help defray research expenses.
An earlier version of chapter 5 appeared in the Fall 1986 issue of Public Opinion Quarterly. Thanks to Albert Gollin, Eleanor Singer, and the anonymous referees for their useful suggestions about that article.
As for this book, it was improved considerably by the comments of George Pozetta and the anonymous reviewers of the University of Florida Graduate School Social Science Monographs Committee acting for the University of Florida Press. Above all, my most important constructive critic was my brother Glenn. Without his thorough reading of the original manuscript, the arguments and focus of the book would have been far less strong. As my brother, he could be more direct than anyone else in telling me where changes were needed. And as a fine writer and historian in his own right, he proved an excellent judge of what did and did not work in the earliest manuscript.
