LBJ meets FDR

click photograph to enlarge

Congressman Lyndon Johnson is gladhanding President Roosevelt. In the middle is Texas Governor Allred. When LBJ would haul out this photo for use in later campaigns, he would have the Governor airbrushed from the photo, creating an intimate moment between FDR and Representative Johnson. Roosevelt's expression (this is, surprise, entirely conjectural on my part) seems to say "now. . .just who the f*** is this guy anyhow?"
