"L B J" THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: "LBJ" Part 1. 9/30/91 LBJ PART 1 Return The fourth season begins with writer-pro- ducer David Grubin's four-hour political biog- raphy of Lyndon Baines Johnson--a mover, a driver, a dreamer (and a bully) who still was nervous.

Among those interviewed: Lady Bird Johnson, George Ball, Clark Clifford, John Connally, Dan- iel Ellsberg, J. William Fulbright, Dean Rusk, R. Sargent Shriver, Roger Wilkins. (2 hrs.) LBJ Part 2.
