After two years at North Texas State College in Denton-where he was twice elected class president-Moyers joined Johnson's Washington staff as a vacation-time helper in 1954, turned in an impressive performance. At summer's end he went home, acquired a journalism degree at the University of Texas while working part time for Lady Bird's television station in Austin...
