I agree that he was an incredibly conflicted man, who was better suited for coalition building in Congress as opposed to spearheading programs for which he had to provide a quid pro quo.
It is said that he was just a lovely person, particularly toward the end of his life, and that he was tormented by his own sense of responsibility for Vietnam until his death.
Peace.
