I've always felt sorry for LBJ in regards to the war but was surprised by how accurate his assessments on our long term likelihood of success were, even though I'm surprised by how he acted contrary to those assessments.
I'm definitely not a Nixon fan but like you my opinion of Nixon has really sunk. I think I've gone from viewing his Watergate actions in covering up the break in as ill advised and morally bankrupt to outright horror at his contempt for the law and proper moral action. Appalling.
Yes, we've watched every episode. It's been an eye opener. I have a lot more respect for L. B. J. and a lot less for Nixon.
