So, acting in his capacity as President of all the people, Lyndon Johnson pulled from his hippie pocket a speech that took sardonic note of "the generation gap." Addressed to 121 Presidential Scholars before a White House dinner, the speech drew freely from a slightly obsolescent hippie lexicon that Lynda Bird had compiled for McCall...
