      abstract = {"Zelizer takes the full measure of the entire story [of  Johnson's liberal agenda] in all its epic sweep. Before  Johnson, Kennedy tried and failed to achieve many of these  advances. Our practiced understanding is that this was an  unprecedented liberal hour in America, a moment, after  Kennedy's death, when the seas parted and Johnson could  simply stroll through to victory. As Zelizer shows, this  view is off-base: in many respects America was even more  conservative than it seems now, and Johnson's legislative  program faced bitter resistance" --Amazon.com.},
