a week after her husband's assassination, jackie calls journalist and historian theodore white. she wants him to write a piece for "life" magazine. >> theodore white was the pre mere chronicler of presidents.

>> she is obsessed with how the president will be remembered, and she is trying to get the jump on the first draft of history that is journalism. >> mid-way through recalling the events in dallas in graphic detail, jackie suddenly changes the subject. >> she tells this very sweet story that they would put on the sound track from the bodeway musical "camelot" and that the president's favorite line was "don't let it be for god that once there was a spot for one brief shining moment known as camelot." >> and then mrs. kennedy says, there will be great presidents again, through the there will never be another camelot. >> the arthurian legend was full of betrayal and death and loss. so, there's a darker side that's actually weirdly the truthful

image. like many things that jackie kennedy did, its brilliant stage craft. t she could have sold the brooklyn bridge. he was going to do anything for her. but she's pouring over his copy. she edits it. so, white files the story, and the editors are a little skeptical. isn't this "camelot" a bit much? and she insists, no camelot, no story. >> this country was enjoying a brief ibefore vietnam and befor watergate. it was an innocent america that was willing to be lured into fantasy. but it was a fantasy that was so appealing. jackie prepares to leave the white house for the last time.

>> dear mr. interim president, up with of the last nights i will spend in the white house and one of the last letters i will write, i would like to write you my message. >> but jackie's letter is to soviet premier nikita cruise chef. >> my husband knew how much you cared about peace. in the next world, the survivors will envy the dead. you and he were adversaries, but you were allied in determination that the world shouldn't be blown up. >> her final act in the white house really revealed the depth of her seriousness. it's in that letter to nikita urging him to continue the nuclear disarmament talks that had begun with her husband. >> the danger which troubled my

husband was that war might be started, not so much by the big men, but by the little ones. big men know the needs for self-control and restraint, little men are sometimes moved by fear and pride. it's really about let's continue for future generations. >> if the mark of a great president is understanding the big issues of the day, the mark of a great first lady is a more subtle thing. and jackie got this. and that is understanding the essence of the time. and america is a global player. she perfectly reflected that. and in fact shaped it. >> although she became jackie o. and had a whole life as a book

editor and everything else that she did subsequent to the white house, she was, in the end, inevitably defined by what she inevitably defined by what she did as first lady. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hi. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. thanks for joining me. you're watching cnn. coming up on the show, america's top infectious disease expert calls out the trump campaign. dr. anthony fauci says a new ad for the president takes his words out of context. and we're also just hours away from the confirmation hearing of the supreme court nominee, amy coney barrett. we'll preview her opening statement. also with much of europe battling a second wave of coronavirus infections, could the uk be facing another lockdown?
