Just 10 days before Lyndon Johnson died of a heart attack in 1973, he revealed to an aide his plan to visit President Richard Nixon to seek release of the Pentagon Papers and thousands of other secret Vietnam War documents.
On Monday, the federal government finally will release the infamous multivolume war history that was leaked to the press in 1971. The release comes 40 years to the day after The New York Times' controversial publication of much of the top-secret study compiled by the Department of Defense.
