A quibble: Frost was a Kennedy supporter. Kennedy chose him to recite the poem, and it was the first ever time a poet was invited to speak at an inauguration. That probably wouldn't have happened with Nixon.
Excellent timeline!
Cool Cool Cool.
Great work! I love the attention to detail and how you summarize some changes at the bottom of each post. Keep it up!
What kinds of reforms did Khrushchev have in mind? Can I PM you anymore suggestions?
This is great! I love the graphic at the begining as well. Very well done.
He would be a good choice for Secretary of State.Possibly Nelson Rockofeller, but if so, I have no idea what position he could have.
I would say Johnson would rather jump head first off of the Washington Monument than ever run second string again in a presidential race.
additionally, Johnson will be more likely to run in '64 than '68.
Ment '64 , although he could pull an FDR and come out of the shadows later as the failed VP nominee. Also, LBJ is nothing if not patient, he would force himself to live to 100 just to get the Pro Tem position and get in the line of succession if he wanted to.
Also, what was the Senate confirmation vote for Ralph Bunche? I imagine all of the South opposed it (exception for LBJ probably, doesn't wanna look petty or racist) and threatened a filibuster (at least one would).
