“These college students, I’ve got Hoover after ‘em.” LBJ

Would have been fascinating to hear what Ike's thoughts would have been on Vietnam had he survived another decade. Here he's totally in LBJ's corner. Was a bit surprised to hear Eisenhower so openly contemptuous of RFK at 14:15: "If they ever want that little pipsqueak as President of the United States, by golly, I'm gonna get out on the hustings . . ."
