I love Mr Caro's writing and work. He is an ethnographer, historian, biographer and storyteller all in one!!! I hope he will write the volume exploring LBJ and the Vietnam War. Also, Mr Caro and Mrs Caro were an extraordinarily good looking couple. See 11mins and 30 seconds. Thank you for your works on the LBJ series, Mr Caro. In particular, I love the story of LBJ's work for the people of the hill country of Texas. Finally,, I remember seeing somewhere here on RU-vid an excerpt of you doing a book reading from one of your books on LBJ taking the oath of office on Air Force One, Dallas, 22 November.
There are few people who I admire more than Robert Caro. His intelligence, his insights, his dedication to his projects. It is rewarding to learn more about his childhood and early years.
A truly great American. Something that should be emphasized more is Rayburn's efforts on behalf of Black Americans. As a Southerner, he urged House members not to sign the "Southern Manifesto," which decried the passage of Civil Rights legislation. Additionally, as African countries were gaining independence, he had delegations from those countries come to Washington for instruction in establishing representative government. Interestingly, the great hero of Rayburn's life was Robert E. Lee.
... as a German Biologist - in our domesticated Techno Sphere - we have the selection of Psycho Paths to Hijack any System. From the Catholic Church to the Marxist Socialist Revolutionaries. To gain any higher position is a Selection of Psycho Paths. There is no way - as a humble, friendly, helping person - you make it anywhere. Impossible!
Why does Caro compartmentalize the vast accounts of sociopath behavior of LBJ as though you can separate the most evil parts from other more noble accomplishments? He even conceals the vast majority of his criminal activities of bribes and kick backs and never touches the stories of what happened to anyone who dared to investigate his corruption.
Very nice documentary. I’ve recently read Caro’s “Working,” which covers much of the same ground from his individual perspective, but it’s enlightening to see the old photos and hear from the people themselves, especially Gottlieb, whose ferocious intelligence leaps off the screen.
WTF - this was nothing but one long advertorial for this arsehole’s books. Should have been prefaced - “advertising.” What about the “insights” he claims to have made on POWER? NOTHING. New Yorker BULLSHIT. Nothing but a puff piece for self involved New Yorkers. By the end of the video, even their pretentious accents were making me want to puke.
A truly marvelous author. I admire him more than Dr.Moses. To me, Dr.Moses is a deity who misstepped into a unseemly world and easily manipulated it, but Mr. Caro as a real human being had to dedicate all he had for years.
Total Bullshit that he embraced the civil rights act. He and most of the south were die hard racists. Dont white wash history. That purposeful omission makes this entire segment totally suspect.
Mr. Ruizmeeden: Thank you for watching this video and for your feedback. For most of his life Sam Rayburn was a segregationist who opposed civil rights legislation. It wasn't until the 1950s towards the end of his life that he changed his views on civil rights and helped enact the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. Liberal Congressman Richard Bolling of Missouri, who was close to Rayburn while in the House of Representatives, wrote in his book Power in the House "Speaker Rayburn played a unique role in the enactment of [the 1957 Civil Rights Act]. During our many long conversations about many subjects, I discovered that, despite his deeply ingrained Southern attitudes, he firmly believed that everyone, including Negroes, should have the right to vote....Rayburn gave [what eventually became the 1957 Civil Rights Act] his all-out support and helped push it through the House, first in 1956 when the Senate could not act, and again in 1957. Much of his work was behind the scenes, but very soon the knowledgable insiders in the House and the more sophisticated outsiders were aware that my work in behalf of civil rights legislation had the backing of the Speaker."

I'm just going to pile on a bit here, heap a bit more praise on this man's thoroughly and deeply praiseworthy work, and that of his deeply praiseworthy, obviously deeply loving wife-would that we all should enjoy such a marriage. Mr. Caro doesn't just write fine biography or fine nonfiction; he writes what I think one could genuinely call literature. _The Power Broker_ is far and away the most magisterial work of nonfiction literature that I have ever read, and it teaches not just about the exercising of power, but about the nature of human experience in the 20th century-and indeed (no small feat considering its date of publication), the 21st century. (And maybe it's my own parochial interest as a [transplanted from the South] New Yorker, but I hold it in even higher esteem than the Johnson books.) Compounding the achievement still further is that since the book's subtitle ("Robert Moses and the Fall of New York") was written, New York-great, incorrigible city that it is-has risen again to reclaim its rightful place at the pinnacle of metropolitan power and influence-but despite this, the book loses nothing by way of illustrative power or vision, and were I to teach a course that touched on the subject matter of the book, I would consider it a dereliction of duty not to assign it as absolutely required reading. I don't teach courses on that or any other subject, but I've still managed to talk a couple of people into reading the whole book; every one of them has thanked me for the recommendation. Thank you, Mr. Caro, for your magnificent work, and thank you to the filmmaker who put this piece together. I'm sure I speak for many in saying that I'm very glad to have it as part of the historical record.
I'm reading Volume one of LBJ. What a great writer: you can almost imagine you are there with Johnson: so much detail. Like writing used to be in the old days. There will never be another author like this. We can't spend that much time on anything.
John Sparkman, Lister Hill, John C. Stennis, James Eastland, Richard Russell, Walter George, Burnet Maybank, Olin Johnston, Clyde R. Hoey, J. Melville Broughton, Absalom Robertson, Harry Byrd, Sr., Allen Ellender, and Russell Long would’ve disagreed with you.
THEME: LONG ISLAND GOLD COAST TO TRASH COAST because of this CRITICALLY CRRRRRITICALLY needed cross sound link the RYE OYSTER BAY BRIDGE WAS HALTED IN THAT FATEFUL YR. 1973 NOW THERE IS NO EVACUATION ROUTE FOR LONGISLAND north south only the notorious L.I.E.
