Your GOAT List

Johnson, the master of domestic maneuvering with his Great Society, and on the other, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the calm strategist of the wartime and peacetime boardrooms. This isn’t just about who did what—it’s a battle of scale versus subtlety, of sweeping reforms against strategic foresight. What’s really at stake here is a reshaping of our understanding of presidential impact.
