"some music will make me weep.usic will make me feel so brav "i could march into the thick of a battle and not be scared of anything." johnson says dryly, "if anything could make me act so foolish, i would not have anything to do with it." [low hum and sticks clacking] [cultural music montage] (man) music has got an incredible power, presence. you know, sound is something that you can't escape when you're in its presence. [chanting and drumming] with music, there's no looking away. [spirited clarinet and guitar playing] that is part of the power of music. when you're near it, there's no escape. it can focus your attention on a particular ceremony for example. it can act as a kind of social glue that helps a ceremony to go on over the course of several days. it keeps people's attention focused. music can be used in a work situation. you can find examples of that in africa where people are working in a field. let's say that they are planting millet or they're threshing. any kind of situation where you have got large

what is your view of johnson as a foreign-policy president? dr. kissinger: president johnson was saddled with the war from the first day in office. see can't really judge -- so you can't really judge the foreign-policy tendencies of a president who was swallowed up, in a way, by the war. without any question, johnson was a master in knowing the nuances of domestic policy. and he did not know the foreign leaders as well as he did the domestic constituencies. and so it didn't come as naturally to him as it did with domestic policy. but on the foreign-policy issues, other than the war in vietnam, he had a very good relationship with our allies. and our enemies, he was very eager to come to some agreement with the soviet union, but everything was so overlaid by the war in vietnam. i thought president johnson was a formidable individual. of, and some ways, it was a personal tragedy that he spent so much of his life to achieve that office, in order to be compelled to do the things that had not been his major focus. but i thought he was a strong figure, a

dr. kissinger was a top secret channel for president johnson. through french intermediaries, with north vietnamese prime minister, and the aging ho chi minh. through dr. kissinger, president johnson offered a bombing halt, if a secession -- cessation of bombing would lead to productive discussions between the united states and hanoi. president johnson even proposed a direct meeting between dr. kissinger and hanoi's representatives. and as a good-faith measure, president johnson unilaterally halted bombing in the vicinity of hanoi. the north vietnamese response was entirely negative. and i quote. we can neither received mr. kissinger, nor comment on the american views as transmitted through this channel. in a very highly classified meeting in the cabinet room on october 18, 1967, president johnson, secretary of state and, secretary of defense robert mcnamara asked dr. kissinger to make one more attempt. the north vietnamese response, and i quote, there's no reason for us to talk again. what we soon learned was that hanoi was planning a massive, al

dr. kissinger and president johnson. lbj died before a peace treaty was negotiated. however, dr. kissinger and president nixon did advice the president, president johnson at the ranch just a few days before his death that what they thought would be an honorable peace agreement was about to be signed. unfortunately, the peace agreement dr. kissinger negotiated was violated by hanoi and completely disregarded within months of its signing. but the american people, especially the anti-war activists, and we know there are many in this room tonight of that era, anti-war activists everywhere, especially on american campuses and the american congress and the american press had had all of the war that it could take. united states troops did not lose the war. they literally won every engagement. however, after eight long years most americans had lost the will to fight. the price had become unacceptably high. and hanoi, hoe chimen and charu chiop never seemed to lose their will to continue the war until they had reunited north and south. i know there are men and women in this auditorium toni
