Nor are the Johnson enthusiasts restricted to the Senate: two of his closest Washington advisers and firmest supporters are artifacts of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, Dean Acheson and Ben Cohen. "Of all those giant killers running for the presidency," says another Fair Dealer-Wheeler, "Lyndon is the only one who has killed a giant...
