Lyndon Johnson dies in 1962, replaced by Symington
Pondering effect of LBJ dying before JFK assignation.
Replaced, perhaps, by Senator Symington; a conservative, pro-military southern Democrat.
Would JKF still get assissinated?
Would the Vietnam War still proceed on OTL.
Would the "Great Society" happen to any great degree?
And what would be effects of the absense of the Great Society social programs (ie, Medicare, welfare, third-world immigration, etc.)?
