[AGL] one reason I admired Lady Bird

[Michael Eisenstadt]

This was the washroom scandal that Jenkins was caught indulging
in? Now if it had been Iran in 2007, he would have been stoned to death.
Instead he went home and frequented sit-down restaurants. I
don't think this officially qualifies for heartbreak. Just my opinion.

  There is a clip of a phone conversation (statesman website) btwn Ladybird & Lyndon discussing Walter Jenkins the morning after his "downfall" - she wants to issue a very kind and supportive press statement and give Jenkins a job, and Lyndon is very nervous about the political fallout. Heartbreaking. 

  I got to know Jenkins and his daughter in later years (early 80's) as they spent time in the restaurant I worked at, Mariposa Express.
