520    "In the spring of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson had a 
       decision to make. Just months after moving into the White 
       House under the worst of circumstances--following the 
       assassination of President John F. Kennedy--he had decide 
       whether to run to win the presidency in his own right. He 
       turned to his most reliable, trusted political strategist:
       his wife, Lady Bird Johnson. The memo she produced for him,
       long overlooked by biographers, is just one revealing 
       example of how their marriage was truly a decades long 
       political partnership and emblematic of her own political 
       acumen. Perhaps the most underestimated First Lady of the 
       twentieth century, Lady Bird Johnson was also one of the 
       most accomplished. Managing the White House in years of 
       national upheaval, through the civil rights movement, and 
       the escalation of the Vietnam War, Lady Bird projected a 
       sense of calm and, following the glamorous and modern 
       Jackie Kennedy, an old-fashioned image of a First Lady. In
       truth, she was anything but. As the first First Lady to 
       run the East Wing like a professional office--and one with
       a significant budget--she took on her own policy 
       initiatives, including the most ambitious national 
       environmental effort since Teddy Roosevelt. Occupying the 
       White House during the beginning of the women's liberation
       movement, she hosted professional women from all walks of 
       life, encouraging women everywhere to pursue their own 
       careers, even if her own style and official role was to 
       lead by supporting others. Where no presidential 
       biographer has understood the full impact of Lady Bird 
       Johnson's work in the White House, Julia Sweig draws on 
       Lady Bird's own voice in her White House diaries to place 
       her at center stage and to reveal a woman ahead of her 
       time--and an accomplished politician in her own right"--
