my favorite part because it's not an eleanor roosevelt -- you don't think eleanor roosevelt and thinkinky, but the back fastens with a small clasp. and if you take the sleeves off, you can open up the back and have it come down. so you get a nice draped, low back. and it's such tease a wonderful very movie star to me, very '30s. >> such a wonderful, sexy stylish decade. >> you don't think of eleanor roosevelt as sexy. >> no. >> it's true. you don't. she was a bit of a minx. and christmas readings from the president and mrs. roosevelt. it's hard to tell what either one of them is wearing. [laughter] and this is a lawn party for a white house guards. that was very democratic in its own way. >> the suit, let' see. on the right, it's a dress. always looks like a suit to me. it's a dress. this is what she wore to the first inaugural ceremony. so it's a beautiful they called it eleanor blue. it's sort of lavender color. >> how interesting. >> it was eleanor blue. and oddly, we have the hat that's supposed to go with it in the collection made out of the same fabric. but she didn't wear it. i

my favorite part though because it's not an eleanor roosevelt -- you don't think eleanor roosevelt is slinky but the back fastens with a small clasp and if you take the sleeves off you can also open up the back and have it come down and so you get a nice draped low back and it's just such -- it's a wonderful -- very movie star to me. very '30s -- >> such a wonderful, sexy, stylish decade. >> but you don't think of eleanor roosevelt and sexy. >> it's true. you don't. >> no. >> she was a bit of a minx. and christmas readings from the president and mrs. roosevelt. it's hard to read what either one of them is wearing except that it's white. and this is a lawn party for white house guards. well, that was very democratic in et cetera own w-- its own wa. >> the suit on the right is a dress. always looks like a suit to me but it's a dress and this is what she wore to the first inaugural ceremony. they called it eleanor blue it's a sort of lavender color and it was eleanor blue, and oddly we have the hat that's supposed to go with it in the collection made out of the same fabric, but she didn'

. >> eleanor? >> yes, that's exactly the point.uba cannot continue with the oppressive regime it's had once the country begins to open up and lots of people and ideas and investment come flooding in. the castro brothers have been in power through many american presidents. jimmy carter established and intersection in the '70s. bill clinton tried to make some overtures. president obama did the bold thing, the right thing, the historic thing, and you know, i think it's right for the cuban people, it's right for the world and ends a policy that's been such an aknack rimple. >> should he have done this without consulting congress beforehand? here's the reason. the following statutes may have been broken by president obama. the cuban democratic solidarity act of 1992, '96. trading with the enemy act and the helms burton act that states that all political prisoners must be released and free fair elections held before resuming diplomatic relations. end of quote. i don't want to be too precise about it, but should he have gone to congress f

we always started with otis shackleton, shackleton, eleanor roosevelt, margaret thatcher, martin lutherking and lincoln and churchill, but we always try to define the qualities that make a leader. there their are lots of them. perseverance, communication, vision, teamwork, trust. the last one on the list and the one that brings me back to tom is always character. it is an indefinable quality. quality. you cannot really put a specific definition to it, but people like lincoln had it. artists shackleton had it, joshua lawrence chamberlain from maine had it, eleanor roosevelt had it, and it involves a combination of qualities that i think tom embodies. integrity, intelligence, honesty, faith, belief in principle then daring to stand for principle. it is the hardest thing to teach, but the easiest thing to see. the reason i felt so privileged to get to know this man for such a short time is that he has shown me what character is all about. tom is one of the great joys of my life to have had these two years to get to no you, if only slightly. it is one of the great sadness is of my life that

where these things could have happened, but because of my training, which we all have had, since eleanorwas maybe 30 years ago, we are all trained how to de-escalate a situation like this. and also how to deal with a person like eric garner who might have been resisting, and the police officers might have reacted out of whatever they were feeling, but it wasn't lack of training by the police department. >> let's go to a journalist on the brooklyn side of the brooklyn bridge. >> reporter: i have just come across the other side of the brooklyn bridge. the whole bridge is full of protesters. they are calling out yes don't get no justice, we don't get no peace. i talked to a man who was there last night. and maude -- [ inaudible ] amazing comparison to last night. so, yes, it's really amazing atmosphere out here right now. >> quite remarkable what we're seeing. we're seeing pictures of people who got into an intersection and laid down. stopped traffic for what appeared to be a minute, and then got up and moved on. what are you seeing in this crowd? >> it is completely mixed. people from all
