President Lyndon B. Johnson Meets with Scholars
President Lyndon B. Johnson Meets with Scholars "President Johnson hosts high school intellectuals at the White House and delights them by using their own jargon." MSs geeky (thick eyeglasses, close-cropped haircuts) Caucasian high school students wearing their Sunday best sitting in White House for ceremony. TLS President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ) shaking hands of award recipients. MS President Lyndon Johnson speaking to student scholars in a language they could readily understand (LBJ assumes pseudo-hipster lingo, attempts to look cool and with it): "These days, if one chooses to believe all that it written about young people in America, the prospect of having 120 teenagers as guests in this house can scare some people. They read about the alienated young radicals, and the rootless disillusioned young people with long hair & short skirts. Well, that doesn t scare me. I just live through several years with teenage girls in this house & it hadn't affected me one bit. I've kept my cool. I haven't bugged out. I'm still in fat city."
