...journalist, the job of covering the President of the U.S. is always a plum, but its size, color and flavor change with each occupant of the Oval Office. Dean Fischer knows this well. When he joined TIME in 1964 after earning a master's degree in history at the University of Chicago and spending four years as a reporter for the Des Moines Register, his first assignment was to help cover Lyndon Johnson during the busy election year.

Painstaking care had been taken to assure that every minute detail was consistent with the word images of the original book. Taylor made excellent use of the Panavision wide screens by means of some dramatic aerial photography that emphasized the breathtaking width of the Mississippi. But dramatic, breathtaking, and expensive photography...
