This photo was snapped on July 31, 1968, after President Lyndon B. Johnson met with his advisors to assess the ongoing situation in Vietnam. The posture of the president as he sat at the edge of the desk listening to a tape made by his son-in-law, Marine Corps Captain Charles Robb, that described what was happening in the Vietnam War, shows just how distressful the situation was for him.
