humphrey. former president eisenhower was still alive, and there are some conversations in that diary between johnson and nixon, some messages that were passed back and forth that lead me to conclude i would say not 100%, but i think actually johnson preferred nixon to win over his own vice president, humphrey, becae johnson concluded that nixon as a successor and not just on the war, but even on domestic issues, were a later president nixon. the size of government still grew, even after lbj's great society that i think johnson eventually came down in the nixon column. well, in 1968, lyndon johnson was president. the population of the us was around 200 million. it's about 330 plus today there were more than 500,000 u.s. troops in vietnam that year. political assassination of martin luther king, robert kennedy. there was civil unrest. and at the same time there were advances in space flight. apollo eight had entered orbit around the moon, the first humans to see the planet earth as a whole, and
