“You'll hear a conversation that just knocks you out and shows you what a human being LBJ is and how funny he is and so interesting to be around. And then you realize that if LBJ were around to see this thing published or played in public, he would be horrified or angry, which brings me to the Haggar slacks tape.”

NEW FROM C-SPAN PODCASTS

 

📚 THIS WEEK ON BOOKNOTES+The late columnist Robert Novak (1931-2009) was nicknamed "the prince of darkness" by friends and enemies alike in Washington, D.C. He appeared on C-SPAN's Q&A program in 2007 to discuss his memoir, The Prince of Darkness, in which he tells stories about his 50 years as a reporter, television personality, author and conservative commentator. He also talked about many of the sources he had during that time.
