LBJ and Baptist History in the Margins

[Stephen Fox]

From the Pressler family fight with Carlyle Marney when Marney was at FBC Austin; to Bill Moyers and Jimmy Carter, James Dunn and Jimmy Allen, lot of Baptist history in the margins and legacy of LBJ

Coke Stevenson race of 48 is still significant.

James Dunn and Bill Moyers ought to have public conversation about it all
Sidney Blumenthal piece on Coke Stevenson stands in counterpoint to a chapter of Caro's monumental work.

But strong take on LBJ and RFK. Last two paragraphs strong in some ways as the end of the Movie There Will Be Blood

For a long time I was certain Moyers was on the plane with LBJ, and President Kennedy's body as it flew from Dallas. But after reading the Caro excerpt in New Yorker, I got new questions.
Could Curtis Freeman, AaronWeaver, or Bruce Gourley find out for us through James Dunn or someone. I would like to know.

[quote="Stephen Fox"]Here is a note I just left on the 50 minute npr interview-- http://www.drshow.org -- of this morning May 8. Many of you will want to listen online to the entire program:

Stephen, that program doesn't air on Ga. Public Radio as far as I know. Can you tell us any more about it or the host? Is it similar to Terry Gross and Fresh Air?

[Stephen Fox]

Diane Rehm show is online. It is distinct from Terry Gross and Fresh Air. It musta dissappeared from Georgia recently cause a friend in Americus listens all the time, in fact heard me call in last fall.

Listen online, or read the transcript. Read the chapter in Barnes and Noble, Passage to Power. Look at the pictures at the site. Great program. Read the comments www.drshow.org for March 8, 2nd hour.

If at all interested in LBJ, and I am convinced he does mollify the pilgrimage of James Dunn and Bill Moyers, their friendship and world view; thus Baptist history of the last 40 years and more (Marney since 56 when they became acquainted at FBC Austin) you will want to read this review while it is online.

I'm just starting on it myself but wanted to get it in the hopper while Jesus Tarries.
