The Johnson Treatment: LBJ's version of persuasion and coercion, with photos and links to 15 previous stories on LBJ and "The Johnson Treatment"

Here, LBJ, the Majority Leader, puts the strong-arm on Theodore Green, a 90 year old Senator
The Johnson Treatment has been described as having 'a large St. Bernard licking your face and pawing you all over.'   LBJ was a big man, and the original "close talker."  The Johnson Treatment was a singular combination of physical intimidation and coercion, and it was one of his most effective tools as he mastered the Senate, and later, to a far lesser degree, the Presidency.   The phrase "The Johnson Treatment" is sometimes also used to describe being violated by unwanted company.  LBJ would paw you, lean into you, get right up in your grill and ask you for a favor.  Except it wasn't really asking.  Here are a few of our favorite photographs of LBJ giving the Treatment, along with links to fifteen previous article on LBJ, LBJ's War, and, of course, The Johnson Treatment.

to the Supreme Court, and even later attempt to elevate to Chief Justice.
Fortas eventually resigned after four years on the court, due to ethical issues.

I traveled for a work meeting last week and my experience with the British Airways Terminals was a memorable one. The staff is professional and super hospitable. The melas offered and the presentation are at par. Would definitely travel with them. British Airways terminals were nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, British Airways impressed me with their fantastic offers and timely information, making my travel experience truly enjoyable.
