Seaborg's Comments

At the dedication of President Johnson's Presidential Library in Austin, Texas, President Nixon unwittingly alluded to LBJ's strong and overwhelming personality as he mis-spoke and said that President Johnson had just finished "throwing" him through the Library. He meant to say that President Johnson had just finished "showing" him through the library, but in all reality the first comment was probably entirely justifiable.
