C-SPAN C-SPAN — 2min

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss gives examples on why 30 or 40 years are necessary to obtain real hindsight on a president.

"If you wrote a book about LBJ before the tapes, and then after the tapes, after you hear what he's really like in private, it's like two different human beings."
