@DorisKGoodwin says leaders like FDR, Lincoln and LBJ were able to use divisions and ferment, to pull us together and come out stronger.
— Brian Lehrer Show (@BrianLehrer) September 18, 2018@DorisKGoodwin reminds us how much of a master LBJ was at working with the Congress to pass legislation (esp. the Civil Rights Act) - she doesn't think JFK could have gotten this done (or anyone else, really).
