"Both the phrase 'Great Society' and the planning for it dated to May 1964, when [President Lyndon] Johnson addressed the graduating class of the University of Michigan. 'We have the opportunity,' he proclaimed, 'to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society.' . . .
