A Land of Milk and Honey

I just have to object: in this world, Nixon would probably be the 7th best President :p after FDR, Lincoln, Washington, TR, LBJ, and Truman.

You got that right. ITTL, LBJ is picking up where FDR left off for the most part. Civil Rights, War On Poverty, etc. A lot more is accomplished ITTL due to NSAM 263 being retained. Nixon also manages to ensure that a UHC System is passed, eliminating the health care crisis in the country. Still wondering if the UHC is similar to that in France, or similar to Canada.
 
Sorry to bump this thread, but if anybody's interested in using real life pics of LBJ from 1969-1972 that could pass as him in a second term, here are some:

Personally, I wouldn't think LBJ's hair was long as a hippie's after his presidency. But, it's possible to have pictures of him with somewhat longer hair ITTL. Also, it's not like he refused to get a haircut ITTL. Feel free to insert them in.
 
Sorry to bump this thread again, but I wouldn't say that LBJ's hair didn't grow out that long. I would also like to point out that it's been almost a full year since the last update was made to this great thread. I don't mean to be annoying, but all of us have been left hanging on the edge. We still don't know the meaning of "Tinderbox Tehran". Roguebeaver, will you please come back to AH.com forums and start writing alternate history again? We miss your stories a lot, and we also hope that you have many more to come. Please don't be mad. Once again, thank you.

Correct on both counts. Until he was 13 Bobby lived in Riverdale before being sent back to Mass for boarding school and Harvard, then moved to DC in '52 before buying Hickory Hill in Virginia from Jack in '56. Of course that includes Charlottesville as well in the late '40s. Somewhat analogous to Bush: not their state of birth but lived there long enough to call it their home state. Hillary was a carpetbagger, not RFK. The only Kennedy who can claim unambiguous NY status of that generation is Jackie.

Sorry to bump but Everyone knows your Home is where ur registered to vote :rolleyes: :)

But srsly I like Bobby but in all fairness he was registered to vote in MA in 1964; he couldn't even vote for himself

Btw JoeMulk LBJ looks like Jesse Ventura there

I've got to know Plumber. I got to know what would've happened. Only clue I have is the phrase "Tinderbox Tehran." Just need closure. That's all. What do you think would've happened, Plumber?

RogueBeaver will make a post for this if and when he wants, just leave the thread be. Just because you want to see this wrapped up does not oblige RB to come back just for your sake. He is the author, and he will do what he pleases with this.
