    I still have his book, which was a textbook from college.

    Reading it, I found it shocking that there was a ton of stuff in it that they sure as heck weren't teaching us in high school.

    His "A People's History..." is a must-read. RIP indeed.

    On a similar note, I was listening to a "This Day in History" snippet on XM/Sirius POTUS channel the other day and it was LBJ's death anniv.
    He was 64 years old when he died? I couldn't believe it. I always thought he was in his late 70s.
