I had a lot of fun today at the LBJ Presidential Library. They just released 58 hours of previously unreleased phone conversations from 1966. There was one where he talks to Congressman Wilbur Mills about his recent trip to Korea:
This brings me to so many questions. Did they just pull out some short Korean guy and have him do a bunch of tricks for the President? Where did they find that guy? Or can ALL Koreans break granite with their foreheads?November 12, 1966 9:21a.m.
"They're the damndest fighters you ever saw. If I told you what I saw you just wouldn't believe it. I saw a fellow take a piece of granite the size of a brick and hit it with the top of his head and break it about half in two. I saw him step up and kick a man from behind, sorta like a horse, and kick him right in the nose. A little old fellow about four and a half feet tall, kick a man six feet. Right in the nose."
