Can anyone find a famous picture of LBJ from 1968?
There is a famous picture of LBJ from 1968, I believe in the middle of the Tet Offensive. It is a famous picture of a distraught LBJ after a meeting with his military advisors. His head is on the table of the White House conference room as he is listening to a recording from his son-in-law Charles Robb explaining how bad conditions are in Vietnam. I can't seem to find this picture on the Internet. I tried the LBJ library wep page and could not find it. I don't seem to know where to look. If anyone here knows where to look for this picture and could paste it here I would appreciate it.

About halfway down:

Didn't want to link to the image so the college doesn't get an increase in hits and have problems -- you can probably copy it off there, though.

7. It's quite a photo
I've seen this on TV countless times but that's first time I've noticed the bust of JFK in the background. It adds to the sense of tragedy surrounding this image.

9. Yikes, I remember that one...
but I was afraid you were going to post the disgusting photo of Lyndon Johnson lifting his shirt to show off his gall bladder operation scar. Jeez!
