>> well, eisenhower, the effect, eisenhower save his hide.f eisenhower decided to join with the allies he would have been toast. know what you would have done with egypt after that is an interesting thing to speculate. there is no question. you have to remember that in that those days arab nationalists were considered pretty progressive. there were getting rid of royals thrones and the colonial powers. so there were progressive. but what happens, he stays in power. he is followed by sadat and you know who. mubarak, a 28 year-old officer already on the lines at the time of the suez crisis. eisenhower's policy, always unintended consequences. eisenhower's policies open the door for military men to run the middle east. at the same time it would not be fair to hang at around eisenhowers neck altogether 50 or 60 years later. nevertheless that was a factor. i'm trying to get somebody at the moment. my prediction is that the military has not finished to egypt. they have been in charge for 60 years, and i will be real surprised if we don't have eithe

>> well, eisenhower -- the effect on nasr, he asked. eisenhower saved nasr's hide. if they joined with the allies, nixon would have been toast. but there isn't any question -- now, you got to remember in those days nasr and arab nationalists were considered pretty progressive. they were getting rid of royal thrones and the colonial power but what happens is nasr stays in power who's followed by sadat, who's followed by you know who? mubarak, right. mubarak was a 28-year-old officer on the rise already he at the time of the crisis. eisenhower's policy we have to say -- i sound very proeisenhower. there's always a law of unintended consequences. and eisenhower's policies opened the door for military strong men to operate in the middle east. and at the same time it would not be fair -- to hang that around eisenhower's neck all together, 50, 60 years later, of course, and nevertheless that was -- that was a factor. and personally, i have an op-ed i'm trying to get somebody to print at the moment. my prediction is that the military is not done in egypt. they've been in c

>> well, eisenhower -- eisenhower eisenhower decided to join with the alleys, nasser would've been toast. which would've done with egypt after that -- you have to remember, nasa master and arab nationalists are pretty progressive, getting rid of -- a oil drones and getting rid of the colonial powers. and that they were pretty progressive. what happened was nasser stays in power has followed by sadat was flawed but you know who? mubarak the 28-year-old air force officer already on the rise of the time of the suez crisis. as though, eisenhower -- we have to say. i sound very pro-life. eisenhower's policies open the door for military strongman to rule in the middle east. at the same time, it would not be fair to hang out around eisenhower's neck already 50, 60 years later. but nevertheless, that was the doctor. and personally have an op-ed in trade to get somebody to print in my prediction is the military is not done in egypt. they been in charge for 60 years and i'll be real surprised if we don't have either a military officer for somebody with very close ties in the military be the next p

eisenhower was in the hospital for six weeks. in those days the gold standard for treatment of heart attack patients was total bed rest. his doctors would not permit him to read a newspaper, watch a movie, listen to a football game on the radio, let alone do a serious presidential business. he did not take a step across the room for a month. this incredibly active mandela like a caged animal. so at the very moment the soviet union attempted to change the balance of power in the middle east as an hour was out of commission. the secretary of state was on his own, unable t none of whom had a snowball's chance in hell

eisenhower was the immediate predecessor to jacqueline kennedy. if we can move on, tell me who is your favorite first lady. if you have already spoken you are not allowed to speak again. this is how the supreme court runs its conferences. you are not allowed to give two opinions on a case you are deciding until everyone has been allowed to give one. tell me who your favorite first lady is. jackie kennedy? a likely suspect if you are here to say -- today to hear about jackie kennedy. i am told this is one of the largest turnouts for the first three of these in the series on first ladies and i don't doubt it. jacqueline kennedy still has a tremendous hold on the american imagination. others anyone would like to volunteer? other first ladies you consider your favorite? let's move on. why is it that jacqueline kennedy maintains this hold on the american imagination? this is what my talk is going to be about so all the slides will illustrate why this is. here are some examples. i won't make you raise your hand to say if you watch qvc for home-shopping

eisenhower spoke about the polic

took over but his reaction was again typical of eisenhower. he said why doesn't anybody do any work around here? how come i never see anybody working? well, the point was they were trying to sort of hide from the president and he said, well, i want people to go about their business. but it's an interesting insight into -- >> host: the oslati -- oscilla of how people were accustomed to doing it. one of the interesting anecdotes on harry truman the relationship he had with adam clayton powell. there's so many stories about truman's loyalty to his family when his daughter did a concert and got panned from one of the washington papers he wrote back a letter saying how angry he was but when adam clayton powell took on bess truman, harry truman just cut him off. >> guest: well, adam clayton powell, of course, was a very famous congressman from harlem, a very powerful figure in congress because of his longevity there. but truman -- initially was sort of ambivalent about powell but then there was a case as you say there was an incident where powell's

of course, eisenhower was an elderly man. one of the staffers observed jackie kennedy and what he calls skimpy in night clothes scattering from one bedroom to another, so he asked president kennedy, should i still come up here and turn the lights out. president kennedy said to go ahead and do what you have been doing, but jackie kennedy went at him, and said you are married to, you know what goes around, be discreet. >> i will take a moment for station identification. the audio for this program, you are listening to "white house chronicle" with myself, llewellyn king, george wilson, and kenneth walsh. we are discussing his book, "family of freedom." it is a very important book about the relationship, physical and otherwise, with presidents and the african-american community going back to the time of slavery and the white house all the way off to the day of an african-american president. you have the opportunity to interview him. we have a picture of you talking to him. >> i did for the book. a lot of people ask what he is lik

we have been doing it since eisenhower. one senior person said i don't care that eisenhower said it. it was more questioning why you are doing these things. why are these goals and principles? all the policies may have a lot of continuity but this administration did a lot of soul-searching as to why these principles are in here. do they still apply and need to be updated? the core values remain. we went through a clean sheet approach that these principles are nearly universal and stood the test of time so we took a hard look at the goals and principles. some other dramatic changes in policy would be the ascendancy of the state department's role in policy. this is the realization that space is an international activity now. the u. s is not the only player. is not just u.s. and soviet union anymore. there are many players. commercial and not state actors and many people coming to play who believe the state department has a strong role working through that. one of them that is near and dear to my heart with an explicit role of

eisenhower was quite embarrassed. whate'er credit she agreed that there should be an account published of what happened in 1893. and so that fall of 1917 he finally broke the embargo and published an account of the operation in of all places the saturday evening post. you would think he would go to a medical journal to talk about this amazing achievement in american medicine and an apology, but he decided to publish it in the saturday evening post. i interviewed a couple people researching the book and asked one of them, why do you think he did this article and not some journal of medicine? and said it's like all doctors, he had a big deal and wanted everybody to know. the saturday evening post was the most popular periodical in the country. i was the place to brag. he also did it to vindicate efforts, as i said. the cap came out, it did indicate evers 24 years after the fact. he was glad that finally edwards reputation as a truthful correspondent was vindicated. it was very big news among media people had always wond
