NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Johnson’s profession took him from the White House to newspaper writer jobs in Dallas and Los Angeles to president of NCS. While that left him in a position to swap tales about two influential figures — Lyndon B. Johnson and Ted Turner — that is not the true purpose he wrote his memoir.
Instead, it is to inform how his accomplishments got here regardless of struggling by a melancholy so extreme he contemplated suicide, in the hope that others will search assist when in want.
