    Probably because there is so much swag in that room. Not just JFK, but what about the dude with the shades on smoking a cigarette inside, or the dude with the pipe?

    Dude in the shades reminded me of Dr. Strangelove.

    LBJ always looked like he had such a burr up his ass, at least until he killed Kennedy.

    There's a new book coming out about the Johnson-Kennedy relationship. Jackie and Bobby both hated LBJ, and looked down on him because he wasn't east coast educated, from wealth, and well, a Kennedy. JFK and LBJ actually apparently had a better, more respectful relationship than is usually publicized.

    1963 NCAAT game MSU vs Loyola University Chicago. A handful of MS senators and Gov. Ross Barnett(alumnus of Ole Miss) were trying to prevent the then Mississippi State Maroons from traveling to East Lansing,MI to face Loyola who had 4 black starters. MSU snuck past state police in the middle of the night to fly to Michigan.(the MS Govt. had prevented MSU in playing NCAAT games the past 4 years because they had gotten paired up with integrated teams)

    If I am not mistaken Lincoln is speaking to George McClellan. The guy on the far right is awesome IMO. Almost took him for Grant but he wasn't at Antietam.

    I've seen 4'11" listed several places. I've also seen 5'6". But I think that may be different time periods. The taller one, I would think, is later after the Celt/Germanic tribes were added into the legions, as Northern Europeans have always been taller. The first place I saw the 4'11" figure mentioned these legions were fighting Gauls who were, on average, a foot taller than the Romans.
