Curatorial Commentary
Following this 2008 lecture, I had the great pleasure of leading David Pietrusza in conversation in a public program, "1960: LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon," at the Museum on May 23, 2016. That program may be found here on the Museum's YouTube channel: 1960: LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon with David Pietrusza (youtube.com). Also in 2016, David Pietrusza recorded an oral history with the Museum. Two of his books may be found here in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Catalog Search Results. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
