brinkley: yes. oh, became -- once the polio -- once he was struck with polio in 1921, howe and eleanor roosevelt believed in fdr's political future, where sara said let's-- you have polio, retire, be a country gentleman, you have money, you love forestry, and you can run your property and all. so eleanor and howe kind of double-team fdr and say, let's go. and so it's a tripod, almost, in some ways on the political front. mr. slen: allida black, two very important years and events in eleanor roosevelt's life, 1918, lucy mercer, and then 1921, what doug brinkley was just mentioning about polio. very quickly, walk us through those two incidents. ms. black: well, eleanor, when eleanor discovers that franklin has fallen in love with lucy mercer, in the interest of historical accuracy, we don't know if or not it was an affair. what we do know without a doubt is that they are in love with each other. mr. slen: emotionally. ms. black: emotionally in love with each other. and eleanor reads the letters, which

doug brinkley, what's your response to that?llida: well, nobody's a reincarnation of everybody else, but the caller's right. i mean, abigail adams was a great first lady, and also her correspondence with her husband is quite remarkable. and the fact that abigail was an intellectual, and that's what you're seeing with eleanor roosevelt. this is somebody who's an intellectual, not just a political life or something of this, and she has deep and interesting ideas about america that she develops not just as first lady, but later. she's thinking in civil rights in terms of human rights before most people are. and she's thinking about how we -- what democracy really means, and she's also -- you mentioned the fbi not liking her -- embracing of the union movement. you know, there -- the fear of strikes in this, and eleanor roosevelt often sided with the workers of america. but -- and then hillary clinton, of course, is in a category of her own. eleanor roosevelt never ran for office, okay? she -- that's a big difference between hillary

our guests are allida black and doug brinkley.o ahead with your question. >> why is she viewed as the most disliked and loved first lady of all times? if she was here today, how would she deal the 24/7 media? >> i got that one. eleanor took controversial stance on the issues of civil rights, women working, women traveling unescorted. she spoke out by the second term on legal and constitutional questions that made people a little nervous. and especially the daughters of the american revolution who looked at her and called her an unfit woman and really did not want her in the white house. her polling numbers throughout and the letters she received as well as the hate mail and the largest fbi file that we have in american history up until that time shows the extent to which the american public really revered her. but the people dislike her disliked her intensely. she really was -- for what you thought about democracy and social upheaval at the time. if it was good for the government to be engaged or for people who disagreed with each

joining me now, douglas brinkley. douglas, let's take a look at this. after bringing the vietnam war to a close in 1973, richard nixon said he had achieved, quote, peace with honor. behind the scenes, nixon was still playing hardball with the north vietnamese over the release of p.o.w. saying if north vietnamese dragged its feet, he would not agree itself. here's nixon in a conversation with henry kissinger just one month after signing the peace accords. >> what do you make of that, douglas? whether he cares about agreement or certainly doesn't care about the wording of it much. >> no, you know, the paris peace accord happened in the big provision nixon was worried about was getting those p.o.w.s released. it was signed january 27th of 1973. he wanted their names and locations. he had secretary of state rogers deal with 12 countries finding these p.o.w.s. and no matter what, he'll go right back to war if he doesn't get them released, because for nixon, he didn't like the defense department a whole lot. he didn't like the anti-war left, but he did care a

i want to bring in presidential historian douglas brinkley and raymond aroyyo.atican officials have briefed you on the pope's address to congress. what can we expect? >> you've already heard a lot of it today. the pope is going to talk about immigration and going out of ourselves, going to the other, those on the extremities, the poor, the forgotten. that includes his commitment to life, the elderly. i think this address is likely going to upset people on both sides of the political divide in d.c. the pope keeps talking about something called this culture of encounter where you go out and encounter the other person, you listen to them. i think he's going to try to bring that message to congress. i don't know how it will be received. republicans seem to be a little knee-jerk reaction is really surprising. the democrats have gone out of their way to embrace the pope. i don't know why the gop hasn't done that with issues that they agree with him on. it doesn't make much political sense anyway. >> we know at least one republican politician is boycotting the speech t
