. >> caller: do you think there is a border story to watergate that subsumes the woodward and bernstein urges calm and a quick second question, jim hogan writes about a character in his book. >> guest: i'm the mother with some of the arguments that gordon lady has had with john dean, and the arguments that watergate, there was much more to the break-in than people thought and/or more people behind it. and, you know, i really haven't gotten in into that in any depth, the name russell i recall. but i can't recall exactly in what context. in my view the watergate thing, whoever was involved in it, what was really failed was not that, what was fatal i think was the manner in which the president of united states did or didn't handle it and the fact that he taped himself why the automatic tapes running. i think it would have been survivable if it had not been for the tapes. >> host: we had john dean on in depth last month. >> guest: john and i were friends in the nixon white house. he was in council. you know the of the? i was in the white house and the bank, this book was not written for fre

i grew up listening to "west side story," watching bernstein conduct in films and thinking of the lincolnter: she invited me to one of her rehearsals at new york's lincoln center. >> good luck. >> thank you. >> some people would think orchestra seems stuffy. how do you break that stereotype? >> well, i think it is extremely easy. why can't they just do things differently and a little bit more relaxed and connect with the audience? >> you performed a tribute to gloria estefan. >> she was really impressed because the orchestra could do the -- she was like, wow, i never thought an orchestra could do that. >> reporter: now, alandra and the philharmonic orchestra of the americas are teaching the new generation of music. why should public schools keep music programs? >> there is just about every single important value for a child to learn in music. teamwork. respect for one another. imagination. discipline. i think music education is really key to anybody's education. it should be like drinking water. you have to do this. >> reporter: these music aficionados at ps-187 in new york city are learn

. >> caller: do you think there's a broader story to watergate that subassumes the woodward and bernsteinrative? and are you familiar with a character that jim hogan writes about in his book. >> guest: i'm familiar with some of the arguments gordon liddy has had with john dean, and the arguments that watergate -- much more to the break-in that people thought, and more people behind it. i really haven't gotten into that in any depth. the name russell i recall from those days, but i can't recall exactly,, in what context. in my view, the watergate thing, whoever was involved in it, what was really fatal was not that. what was fatal was the manner which the president of the united states did or did not handle it. the fact he taped himself and had the automatic tapes running. it would have been survivable had it not been for the tapes. >> host: we had john dean on in depth last month. >> guest: you did? john and i were -- we were friend friday the nixon white house. he was the counsel. that little book you got, the new majority? i was in the white house, and the -- this book was not written f

without whom i could not survive whether i'm in the local community health center that we built, the bernstein center in greenville or out in the practices out in the region. i've got two nurse practitioners one out in a county that about an hour and a half from greenville. it has no doctor, no dentist. another in a county that's about two hours from greenville. no doctor. no dentist. they are the sole sources of care for large populations for primarily obviously rural people with a very high burden of chronic disease. i supervise their care because i have to. because that's what the state requires. they don't have to pay for it. because i think it's ridiculous that they should have to pay for it since they really don't need me at all. my primary role is to help them navigate. and by the way they could be p.a.'s. they could be -- we don't discriminate. but my primary role is to help them navigate their way through other parts of the system because other parts of the system are not prepared to relate to them directly. now now here's my question, when we try to break in somebody new in one of th
