\nBelieving that government \u201ccould and should improve American life,\u201d Lyndon
\nJohnson and his Liberal colleagues undertook dramatic legislative and policy
\nchanges intended to \u201csolve the nation\u2019s problems.\u201d<\/a>[ii]<\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> 
\nUsing this biographical sketch and collection of documents, evaluate how
\neffectively the Liberals\u2019 legislation and policies implemented their
\ngoals.  What was within \u201cthe reach\u201d of the federal government?  What
\nwas not?  What role(s) did LBJ personally play in the process?  How
\neffective was he in achieving his personal goals?  Why?  What were
\nhis strengths as a leader\/visionary\/activist?  What were his
\nweaknesses?  How did his administration shape public opinion regarding the
\nrole of government in modern life? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

           
\nWhen President Johnson died, a political cartoon was published depicting him
\nwith wings trying to fly up to heaven.  He wasn\u2019t making much progress,
\nbecause he was carrying heavy suitcases labeled \u201cViet Nam.\u201d  Based on your
\nreadings, how justified was that \u201cevaluation\u201d of LBJ\u2019s presidency in your
\nopinion?  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
