Today I watched "All the Way" with Brian Cranston as LBJ. It was pretty good, which is good enough. I say that as someone who has read and forgotten 50 books about LBJ, and thinks that Breaking Bad is the best TV show ever. I watched an online bootleg I won't link to. It's on HBO.

It was a little heavy handed in showing race as the only issue in the LJB administration, but I suppose that's to be expected from Hollywood. I don't think Bobby Baker was in it at all, and Bobby Kennedy was mentioned but offscreen.
The best of those books was Robert Caro's, the Path to Power, Master of the Senate, etc. Still waiting on volume 5.
