SWEIG: Lyndon Johnson has a well-known set of personality traits - on the one hand, very ambitious, very charismatic, very focused in wanting to achieve what he wants to achieve, especially in the Senate and most certainly in the White House, but also, he carries around anxiety and insecurity and a rather thin skin. They haven't been doing this for too long, so since 2012, they have grown into the what is know as the shoe self helicopter market.

SWEIG: The difference, of course, is that Lady Bird, as one of her granddaughters says, was able to let people think that their - that they had come up with the idea. The first lady is often remembered as a genteel Southerner who promoted highway beautification, but author Julia Sweig says archival records show Lady Bird was also a savvy political strategist. Scientist studied the humming bird and found out how it flew. Bird, though, also described herself to historian Michael Gillette as the daughter of the biggest man in our village, in our county in East Texas. Status in East Texas, Bird understood, was not so different from status on a national scale, and it gave her the confidence to comport herself, just a year shy of 50, as the 31-year-old Jackies equal, if not equivalent. You know, she was an independent, autonomous woman of significant power and influence, but the name itself really stuck with her, and I think it did begin to bother her. Now, having said that, what I infer from reading a great deal about the Johnsons in all of the secondary literature and her diary as well and many other - much other material, is that she, for the most part, chose not to see his behavior, but in some cases, she saw it clearly and knew about it. It was a trapped feeling. Did we learn that from Lady Bird - I want them to see what they did to Jack? But what of Lady Birds choice? DAVIES: Well, boy, he certainly was known for that. Carpenters strategy for Lady Bird, as with Lyndon, was to help introduce the Kennedys to the South. The night the Johnsons arrived, the Kennedys cleared out their bedroom closets and drawers, leaving, as Jackie later recounted in an oral history interview with Joe B. Frantz, no trace of anybodys toothbrush anywhere, and slept in a single bed in a tiny guest room, so that the Johnsons wouldnt know they were sleeping in the Kennedys bedroom or otherwise feel they had imposed upon them. For years I heard that he had family connections to Bell Helicopters. Back then, the company's close ties to President Johnson became a liability. Was lady bird Johnson a shareholder in Bell Helicopter? DAVIES: You know, you were doing this research and writing about the first lady as we were experiencing a presidency unlike any other in the nation's history and a first family also like any other. She was quite devoted to building, as an institution, the LBJ Library and Museum, the LBJ School of Public Affairs. In fact, I'm wondering who learned it from whom in that pair. And she does that so that he can feel what it would feel like to actually take that step. She's got her ears and eyes open. One of the first things Liz did was call on her congressman. We see it especially as the anti-war movement on college campuses picks up. If you're going to spend the next 20 to 30 minutes at a high attitude strapped to the inside of a helicopter - you may as well know what that helicopter is right. Lady Bird outlived him by 34 years. In an unusually modern move for a midcentury presidential campaign, the Johnsons hired someone to plan Lady Birds campaign strategy and schedule. Passenger will be flying in a doors off Bell 206 LongRanger helicopter; minus one guest as to make sure everyone gets an outside seat for taking pictures. But she wants to build a serious policy shop - right? SWEIG: The Washington, D.C., story is one of my favorite because it's so unknown. She also felt capable of understanding the dynastic ways of the Kennedy family. SWEIG: Well, I was grateful to Lady Bird Johnson for giving - leaving so much material behind that allowed me to, essentially, keep my head down and absorb myself in the 1960s and in the Johnson presidency. Taking a photograph out of a helicopter over New York City is serious business for some, but a little less so for others. With this suggestion, Bird, now a seasoned campaigner, gave Jackie a way to manage her delicate pregnancy after two miscarriages and feel politically useful to her husband. AS they should. That's coming up in November. We'll continue our conversation in just a moment. Didn't remarry, right? I'm paraphrasing. Too, of course, the Secret Service had a say. DAVIES: Right. Lady Bird was expert at that. And when she experiences the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in her own words, she says, I realized I had an opportunity, and I needed to record it. DAVIES: Yeah, there's this little description that appears somewhere in the book of Lyndon on the phone. Put on the shoes you intend to photograph, all while making sure they're in top notch condition, as to not spoil the photographs. On JFKs religion, she predicted that the puritans concerned about a Catholic in the White House would ultimately be a wind blowing itself out. Even as the female press corps cheered Birds substance and stamina, they dutifully reported, as Liz Carpenter recalled, on her nice legs and her trim figure of five feet four 1/2 inches, 114 pounds. The home she created for Lyndon was an island of peace, per The New York Times. And he relied on her, of course, because he knew that she had her own version of the Johnson treatment, I would say - the Johnson treatment being that ability to twist arms and charm and manipulate and guide. She didn't need to take the credit - a very different approach, in a way.
