air force one and back to washington, d.c., to give people a sense of the texture of the decisions that he had to face and the choices he confronted. you when think about it, the kennedy assassination represented the most dramatic and sudden transfer of political power in u.s. history. kennedy was the first chief executive to die instantly from his wounds. even abraham lincoln who was shot at point-blank range at the ford theater survived and lived until the following morning when he died. kennedy died instantly, which confronted johnson with what i believe is an unprecedented crisis. what i'm interested in is the issues of crisis management and presidential leadership in the hours that followed the presidential assassination and i focus on the first 24 hours. you know, which is very different from other books that i've wris written and the bookst our professional historians write, because ultimately what we're trying to do is to connect the dots, to tell the story of change over a period of time, but what i try to do here instead is to focus on a single 24 hour period to give you a sen

and there were a couple of national meetings, one in washington, d.c. and others in different places where they tried to organize leaders in these faith communities to go out and turn out the vote against kennedy because he was a catholic. so by the end of the election, almost every leading religious public figure of the day cuts across the story somewhere. billy graham is deeply involved at helping nixon win, norman vincent peel, the national association of evangelicals, an organization called protestant and other americans united for separation of church and state was deeply involved in organizing, they sort of secularized or cut off the religious part of their message, but early on they were one of the strongest anti-catholic voices in america in the '40s and '50s, and they went all in for nixon and worked against kennedy. those are sort of the two basic things i learned as we go through that campaign. i'm going to read a couple of passages and point you to three scenes, and we'll see how far we get, but one of them has to do with billy graham's work

later in evening he goes to his private residence called the elves in washington, d.c.. he finally goes to bed around 12:00 at night. he changed into his pajamas and he gets into his king-sized, supersized king bed, and he invited three of his aides. there, johnson sitting in the bed propped up with pillows with ladybird tossing and turning trying to sleep next to him. laid out his vision of the great society. the great society was born within hours of the kennedy assassination. you get a sense of lyndon johnson as a visionary leader, someone who had a clear sense of where he wanted to take the nation. and this passion for the poor, decide to push along the kennedy, install the kennedy rights legislation to do things for senior citizens. so you see i think a visionary johnson, and also johnson who is a brilliant tactician. but you also see in these 24 hours the fatal flaw, what would become the fatal flaw of the johnson presidency. lyndon johnson was devious. manipulative. he was so concerned, so worried about the reaction of the kennedys that he made a member of the ken

the only goal provided by varm's country man, alex ovechkin has d.c. >> joe: bruce boudreau, caps coach, former maple leafs player >> craig: he had some great times here. he hacks this one home. trying to beat, it looks like bill height here of the buffalo sabres and he denies him, a good chance going to the net. boudreau wearing that wind well helmet that a lot of old boys used to play. 134 games here for gaby >> joe: bill hagt >> craig: i can tell by his skates and how tall he was. he was 6'5" and about 160-pound >> joe: i walked back from air canada with gaby. i said, i bought the book. he said, have you read it yet? no, just the foreword and the thanks and all. but i'm looking forward to it. vacuumed up by toskala >> craig: i told him the other day, i'm waiting for to you read it so i don't have to buy it >> joe: i'll loan it to you >> craig: he wasn't too happy about that >> joe: money well spent >> craig: is that his good luck food here. >> reporter: it is. >> craig: you lose one game and all of a sudden, you bring out your lucky star >> joe: tan

hear you describe tim geithner as one of the heavies in your book concerning with his move back to d.c. he has gotten a little bit of reputation in the news as been credits -- >> heavy to be fair -- heavy on the phone when he wants to press seven to do something, not necessarily -- actually has a little lighter touch. >> i guess my point is that he's very much a mover of what's going on in your book as opposed to in d.c. he is seen as summer since i've been in administration or she liber or barney frank on the hill. i do think that change of perspective is because of change of venue or something that's having influence down there that we're not seeing at this time? >> i misunderstand -- >> you seem to -- you seem that compared to your reporting what he was doing here at the event as opposed to in the treasury he has lost seven of influence may be and am wondering is that a perception or do think that is the case? >> one no, listen, at the time i would tell you that the mover, the one with to influence was hank paulson. hank was the mover and tim was the second if you will. obviously th

they are in washington, d.c. every day. take someone like me who has never been to d.c. we hear about the billions they donate to politicians. when you just read about max baucus, how is it that on this crucial healthcare debate he can be having all these fund- raisers? the politicians are worse than the lobbyists because they are taking money from both sides. i do not know if you see that as corruption, but during the healthcare debate their meeting with lobbyists from the healthcare industry. there is something very wrong with that. i appreciate you letting me make my comments this morning. host: this is inside "usa today" -- the vote for the senate debate just began. to secure the 60 votes, he writes, those needed to overturn a filibuster, reid bowed it to request by wavering democrats such as lincoln from arkansas who wanted 72 hours to review the bill, landrieu from louisiana who supported a provision that would increase medicaid funding to her state -- and hours after the vote, this tension still remained on display over more fundamental issues such as how to pay f

well, the folks -- we have a low level radioactive waste peross d.c. -- repository in new mexico. the local areas around are very, very happy with this. it's been exquisitely safe. it's essentially a mining industry. the environmental concerns have been eased. it's been done so carefully, so responsely that everyone around there is very happy. it's not an automatic that no state will take this. if you show you can do this in a completely environmentally safe and protective way, it's not a given that certain states might not want it. in regard to the proliferation issue, i think you hit a very important point. the countries that are now reprocessing use a modified version of a process the united states invented in the 1950's. it takes out of the spent fuel that creates a stream of plutonium and plutonium ox side. once you create a stream of plutonium, if gotten into the wrong hands would make an atomic bond. what you need to do so make it -- to make it proliferation resistant is to say that just by hijacking some of the reprocessed material, you can't now have the participates. one

there's no one, no d.c. pundit or political adviser who would say if you're going to have a future in politics that you should resign as governor. but if there's anybody that could have a future with that, i think it's her. >> yes. >> hi. did you have any idea beforehand that she was going to resign? and how -- do you have any -- [inaudible] >> we were as shocked as anyone. we got that e-mail saying there was going stop a press conference, so we had no idea what it was. we thought maybe she'd announce she wasn't going to run for reelection. you know, after it happened and we had a moment to reflect on it, it was sort of like we realized we were witnessing this in alaska. i mean, it was just such a negative atmosphere up there. it was so clear that she was not enjoying herself at all. and i think we sort of realized after the fact, you know, governing the state in that environment was very difficult, it was very stressful. she made the decision, i can just stop doing this right now. i can make a ton of money.

here in washington, d.c., mr.mayor, i'm sure you are aware that one in 16 african american men are hiv-positive, and if you look at just the gay men in the community, the numbers are even more staggering. in 2005, the centers for disease control found that in five major cities, almost half of all african-american gay men are hiv-positive. that is why we've recently launched a $45 million h.i.v.- a education campaign. it is our first federal hiv education campaign in 20 years, it is specifically targeted to a desert communities including racial minorities, women, day, and bisexual men -- gay and bisexual men. we're also taking steps to ensure that americans get the care they need. earlier this year, we reauthorize the ryan white hiv/aids program, which provides some lifesaving care to more than half a million americans, and we will continue to work with congress to pass health care reform that will prevent americans from being denied coverage because of their hiv status and because they have a cap on that out of po

i always thought he was from washington, d.c. >> steve: you consider him a native. he has been here for over 75 years of his life. he went to george washington universities and graduated there in 1945. then he went to work for his company's construction company for 12 years. made his fortune but gave so much of it back to the less fortunate. he was rewarded with a world championship, a team that you played for in 1978. we heard much of the last couple of days from some of the former players like kevin griefy and we talked to greg ballard the other night >> phil: that's right. wes unseld, too >> steve: yep. >> reporter: wizards playing the heat for the third time in the month of november. miami has won the first two games and you can see the averages there >> phil: low scoring games. something else that i really like from the team, nine players in that first half. every player has scored at least a point and they distributed the ball well and they have not lost anything on the defensive side. i think, you know, this is a good indication of what they had hoped for. no

history, d.c. sniper john allen muhammad will be put to death tomorrow.hootings came as the country was still reeling from 9/11. and the anthrax letters. muhammad's accomplice is serving life in prison. >>> you know, the number of people who owe more on their house than it's actually worth, well, it's going down. our money expert jennifer westhoven is here. that sounds like good news. but you say not in all cases. >> this is one of those -- i want to say it's good news. you're going to see headlines that say it's good news. really it means we went from an "f" to a "d." it's improvement. if you owe more on your house than it's really worth, it's called under water. in the latest quarter, fewer people are under water. i guess that's good. by fewer, what we mean, though, is that it went from 23% down to 21%. that's still a lot of mortgaged homes that are in trouble. plus, this was put together by zillow. they said one of the big reasons that the number went down is because a lot of the people who were under water last time lost their home to foreclosure. so

i was talking to charlie cook last night, like a lot of folks my ange in washington, d.c., i owe my career to him. as a young pack manager back in the 80's and 90's, there weren't a lot of resources to help us make decisions about races around the country, and the cook report was the best tool we had available. that was the highlight of my career. if charlie was a book, he would have some bushes on his back from people like the "new york times". one of the best political handicappers in the nation, a news leert that both party regard as authoritative. bob schaefer, cbs news, the bible of the political community. the "washington post," programs the best non-partisan tracker of races. and the pataki so where that ought to be. >> i am going through my blue period now, or not. >> exactly. we have been looking forward to this throughout the two days of this conference. please put your hands together for charlie cook and his panel of experts. >> i'm actually going to go over here even though the format lends itself to being over there. the reason is i think i do a better job standing rather than
