TELLS THE TRUTH
According to a Washington dispatch published in the May 12 New York Post, President Johnson told his daughter, Luci, last June: “Your daddy may go down in history as having started World War III."
At a White House reception for members of the Supreme Court May 11, Johnson himself described how he happened to make his historic remark. He told one of his guests that after a U.S. bombing foray over north Vietnam, his daughter remarked that he looked tired. He asked her to sit down and learn some history.
According to the account, Johnson did not offer his daughter a very inspiring vista of the future. Among other things he told her: "You may not wake up tomorrow."
