I had to drive for a couple days straight and I had a CD of Caro's Master of the 
Senate. Even though this is abridged, the huge chunks
on topics--the 57 Civil Rights bill movement--"we have to do something for the 
niggers"; Sam Rayburn, lonely social misfit;  the evil perpetrated on so many 
African-Americans
and the ways they could be kept from registering to vote; Richard Russell, 
Southern institution & power broker, all show
how right the plisters are who praise this series.  Thanks,Maligned. 

And in volume the first,which I now have,the way he captured the meanings of The 
Texas Hill Country--freed and trapped the settlers--
in his single paragraph thematic headings is so artful.............. 

And Caro suffered for his art, and fought for his truths.....

There is an excerpt from the new volume about Johnson on assassination day in 
the New Yorker, I hear. (Wish they had
chosen another section but one can see why not)

Johnson was both for his day and against the day. Shakespearean,yes.
