Curators of Bush Library at SMU can learn from history of LBJ museum
07:30 AM CDT on Wednesday, April 16, 2008
By BRENDAN McKENNA / The Dallas Morning News

presidential library says he should have been tougher on Lyndon Baines
Johnson.
Harry Middleton, 86, said he and fellow staffers in the 1971 opening of the
LBJ museum at the University of Texas at Austin were too close to the former
president to give a highly critical account of the controversies that
defined his tenure -- especially the Vietnam War.
