L.E. Jones, Texas lawyer and early employee of Lyndon Johnson, quoted in Caro:

"'Lyndon was always in a position of command,' he says. 'I never felt equal. Ordinarily, I'm aggressive and beligerent. My nature is such that if I can't be an equal, I will not remain in a situation, and he was so demanding that -- well, you lose your individuality if you allow someone to be too demanding for too long.'"

Reading this on the ferry, I sat bolt-upright; it felt like some very sophisticated form of psychic radar was crawling around inside my head. Posted by Hello
