we often reach back into story although wedisge ouee or although extremely iccked the tea party for us to look ck at our history. we have not embraced the story enough. it is profoundly progressive in which e arefrleyocc nation tn extended to white men without property, african amicans, took the rights away then gave them back. womenotoe se

progressive side should take great pride and why should our conservative friends carry around copis? light only the federal it deatof pece the most forward-looking spokesman did not do that. coach to the "i have a dream" speech. the first part is about the promise the united states made and if you love this me then they come back insufficient funds. abraham lincoln's most

important speech before he was president was added t o forui that the founders foresaw the extension of slaveryin the united states. and he gave the speech that harold loopholes sir thinks made him our president. the argument is not that we are torn between divialisand our counitbut havtold t individual side. to the exclusion. which they argue about in every generation. no important.

distinguish from the british system based of laissez-faire. erwasder cawee puantan understanding how th coonibuted to individual prosperity. had the enormous role to play to build our country but they may not endorse if they were around back then. but those bridges and anals whenthe ovrnrel me to say we've should do more somebody should suggest we go back to i prme

and to have opportunity and a responsibility and with the idea befor the stimulus wihoantu w unconstitutional to say do you live in the only country in the world that is written for other countries but ot manprogssestr ht express not as a document to encourage self government

documents his years as vice president,hen he was running against president kennedy for the nomination and then idkedyp mr cesi. lldeat a troubling time for both lyndon johnson and president kennedy. they were certainly different and in just about every aspect, so i ws aim al rty ynjon' life, and then as he is passing into the presidency, this is a think one of the more inresting times to see this i s inortgrod. danre job, having looked at his other books and heard him talk about both this book and the others.

hels gddtbonjudgml. and let people decide for themselves what they think is important. and i think he has captured so much and done so much research. went down and lift around johnson city to kind oe the eay growing up years with lyndon johnson's life would have been like. each time he has gone further, he had done detailed research, amazing amous of research, so wr a w privileged to invite him to speak to a group of republican senators at one point, and he came and we had a verytertingup a e toer itstn pent do johnson had as majority leader

and the tactics he used, which were very different from any ki of leadership tacked ask that you would ableo talk about or actually doty. 'sirewo was very very strong leader and also very demanding, so i think that i would certainly recommend robert caro's book and they know this is so good that you would enjoy a readina heoat have been beginningto read is a book by douglas brinkley about cronkite. there wasn't a more well-known neowhaa nkprsinri we loved him in texas. he went to the university of texas and he grew up in texas. than he then he was a foreign correspondent for uned press international.

hen'st kind of fake guy, but then when "cbs evening news" became more important, when the news rogrs, th wackita ae anchor on -- in the 60's and was there for about 20 years into the early 80s. i just think that his im - hesi t vede id, hi time covering is certainly fascinating. he was a fascinating person because he was so thoughtful. i think douglas brinkley is a hesaiy es istorian. cevenhas aso taught at the naval academy in princeton, so he is a real historian and also does

detailed, comprehensive research in his writing. so t biographyof ron thfivegr oink w walter cronkite, and i think both the fact that doug wrinkly rode it and my high regard for hi and the fact thatcki loin country, having this kind of the biography is an excellent thing for us to have for documentation in the future. thelbkha cer hi book. it is vital for use as. now vital voices as an organization that was formed with then senator hillary clinton and mylfs horary
