message: There's only one reason that Roe v. wade should mentioned in the section on the death and funeral: most Americans remember the day that LBJ died as the day that SCOTUS handed down the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. January 22, 1973 is mentioned almost every year as it was also the day of the ruling and the news of LBJ's passing overshadowed the ruling. No mention of Roe v. Wade (since overturned) will be mentioned until we reach a consensus. Please mention if it should be mentioned that both the passing and ruling happened on the same day.

message: *Quote from article: »A seven-year-old Johnson, wearing his trademark cowbout hat, at his childhood farmouse near Stonewall, Texas, in 1915«
Excuse me, but as a non-native speaker, I wonder what a "cowbout hat" and a "farmouse" may be. Unfortunately, two online dictionaries for English do not know those two words either. So could it be these are typos?  -- 2A01:75C2:BF16:EE0:9293:37E:8E23:4EAA (talk) 22:32, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I have included the remarks (with reference) that Robert Caro famously said about LBJ's SS decoration: "The most you can say about Lyndon Johnson and his Silver Star, is that surely one of the most undeserved Silver Stars in history because if you accept everything that he said, he would still in action for no more than 13 minutes and only as an observer. Men who flew many missions, brave men, never got a Silver Star."  This quote has been removed, and I have re-inserted them, because few people have studied and written more about LBJ than Caro. rogerd (talk) 01:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The section already includes quotes from Caro on the topic; not seeing any rationale for re-inserting this one. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:10, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Just a suggestion, but a brief mentioning that Presidents Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Baines Johnson were unrelated (or a description of how they are related if they are), would be a worthwhile addition to the introductory section. Since every other presidential pair with shared last names are in fact related, it might perhaps lead many to make an incorrect assumption. If anyone is able to edit this article, please consider this addition. I was unable to find any sources explicitly stating the two are unrelated aside from IMDB, which I would not exactly hail as an unimpeachable source with regard to presidential historicity.
