There was another reason behind Johnson's decision not to run in 1968. About a year earlier, concerned that men in his family tree often died young, he commissioned a secret actuarial study in the hopes of predicting how long he would live. The actuaries concluded that he would be unlikely to live to age 65. Johnson did the math and figured that if he served another term he would have a very short retirement.The actuaries were right, as Johnson died at age 64. As for the short retirement, if he had ran and won in 1968, he would have died 24 hours after his successor's inauguration. |
