so, i knew something was wrong because i had i had reached my stride. i had a beautiful home. i had a husband that loved me. but something was wrong. and which you scratch beneath the surface, i hadn't dealt with the pain. i was experiencing symptoms of gynecological cancer. it was fortuitous because the next year, i was diagnosed. this was like the last season of "the nanny." i wasn't feeling well. the marriage was, you know, busted apart. and i was just very unhappy. but, you know, there are so many it was like a perfect storm from the gyneco logic cancer and the treatment of hormones to treat a benign condition that i never had, that was making me kind of whacky. and the pressure of the show and the marriage and confronting my -- i wasn't really in touch with myself and my need to always be perfect, the perfect daughter, the perfect wife, the perfect star, the perfect human being. everybody's caregiver, never a taker, only a giver. >> what feel? >> i hit a brick brig walk and had a garden variety midlife crisis. >> which over the course of the years that followed, my cancer

i had to pump up a little keg on the front of it and we had some wonderful times. i made a lot of marine friends and families because the whole base was family mostly. we had some lifelong friends that we made there. so actually it was a nice experience. i enjoyed -- now today, i think north carolina is my favorite state. >> this, my experience, the worst time of all that for years after my husband died in 1989, i had a recurrent dream that he was walking down a country lane to a mailbox and i would get there and there would be no letters. and this dream continued throughout the years until obviously maybe in the last 10 years and actually that's kind of what has happened. there were days, to me the lifeline was the communication and communication when our husbands were in the army were by letter. no telephones, no ipads, no cell phones, no pictures, nothing and then these letters at least coming from okinawa would come, maybe you would come down to the mailbox for two, three days in a row or maybe five days and then there would be no letters. the and then the next

so i did mine in three days and i was done and i had three months ago and i had read one of his books that the only obligation he felt that he had as a former president was to answer letters from young people and so i sent him my report. and i said dear president, tell me what you think and get it back to me because i have to turn in in three months. and this was also before the advent of a copy machine and we just can't get our heads around it, if you wanted to make a copy of something you had to get a piece of carbon paper and i didn't even know about that. simon ellis to him and it is just gone. so three months later, today comes in to turn my report and he collects everybody's report and says where is yours and i told him this story. and actually i did my three months ago and it was really good and i sent it to him and he must like it because he still has it today. but when i get it back, i will turn it in and everything will be fine. so he called me and he humiliated me and he called me a liar and said none of us is true, you did and do your report and gave me a bad grade in atla

it's. >> guest: i wish i would have had a chance to meet him. i really wish i had any talks very little to the press and unfortunately he died but some of his lines of the accident were very compelling. the other characters in the book and there weren't many characters. there was chuck castell and i really liked chuck. we talked to him. he was very kind and chuck was the nrc expert on boiling water reactors who was brought into tokyo and was there as i recall there for almost a year. he became in our tale that kind of central person who is buffeted by all the forces at work. the government of japan and the culture of japanese society and government. the urgency to get the best possible advice to americans living in japan through the ambassador who was there and then the scramble and infect your office is trying to figure out what was going on and getting to it. he is working by all appearances 24/7 full out struggling to keep all the in the air. to me he was a human face of a safety system that was just not ready or what it was being asked to do.

so i had no competition. that's why the prominence. >> i was going to ask you, what was the challenges for a tv correspondent to cover the senate in the 1960s? in particular the civil rights but just in general. how easy or hard was it far tv correspondent? >> well, everything -- the main stuff was behinded closed doors, as you can imagine. cameras were not welcome except at certain places. cameras didn't get into the house until 1979 and not into the senate until 1986 i think it was. and i thought when cameras finally got into the chambers the world of political reporting would really, really change because for the first time the public would be able to sit in and watch what happens on the floor. well, as you know, not a lot happens on the floor. [ laughter ] so as -- so it was difficult just to know where to go with the camera. you couldn't go lots of places. you couldn't go into the chamber, you had to wait for the sergeant at arms and stake out a place and then you've have had v to grab them as they came o

i had rich parents. s raised -- >> look at you -- >> this hidden neurosis came from -- that is your question. i don't know if i answered you properly but if i had to put -- don't know if it is a good answer. in some way i am wired, i don't look the way i am wired but i do think that it helps me as a writer that i grew up in a world that i loved. i grew up in new orleans. it was a world that was outside in many ways american culture. american culture was clearly hostile to it. it was not going to survive as a culture and a lot of things i've valued in that world were crumbling before my eyes. i could see my father's way of life was unsustainable. that probably helped. >> what do you mean by that? >> what was unsustainable? >> it wasn't the state division sustainable -- your status from your achievements in the world as opposed to your personal relationships from your family. it was not a success culture. people were indifferent to what people did to make a living. much more focused on family relationships.

but i really want to share the experiences i have had. i came to this job as i write in the book in quite an unusual way. i was surprised when the president asked me to serve and slightly less what i agreed to and from the very first moment it was a mad dash because he inherited a serious agenda and problems and challenges. the perspective i have gained encouraged me to speak by mind and contribute what i can to whatever debate is occurring. >> let's talk about the process of writing the book before getting to the substance. i remember from the last book you had a day job. >> i did. >> you were in the senate. and you did a lot of the work on the bock between midnight and 3 a.m. and i remember having meetings around your table at 3 a.m. we did that for a few mont months to get it finished. this time you carved out more time to get it finished. you had a great team working for you but you are not somebody who has taken a draft of a book, speech or chapter and said this looks good and put it between covers. you have always slaved over your wr

when they told me, you know, that i had the show, i was -- the show had been picked up. was excited. i went to a christmas party with my wife. and michelle ashford, the producer of the show said, you know, we're so excited that you're here. you're going to be so -- you're so great in the pilot. she's kind of stroking me. my wife is standing next to me and she said she saw where it was all going. i said, well, thanks, you know, this is a great opportunity for me. they said, we have some really wonderful twists for your character coming up. my eyes lit up and my wife said she knew exactly where my head was going which is, oh, i'm provost of the university. there's all these people behind the scenes, they're having sexual experiences. i'm probably getting it on with some co-eds at the college and stuff. i said, what? what's the twist? he said, you're gay. you know, that totally threw me for a loop. my wife burst out laughing because she knew where it was going. but in the end, you know, love is love, really. and i'm playing a man who is married for many years. allison janney

it wasn't the only time i had that dilemma. how do you move a big organization like gsa to go faster when you have due process, a system of rules, a system of protections as well as performance. i tell you, they can jam into each other at times. it's a great the limo. >> martha johnson, what is your next book? >> i would like to do another novel and i'm also working on a book about what it's like for organizations and leaders after trauma, after something happens to the organization and then want to learn on the other side, how you grow from these experiences. so hopefully you will hear from me a lot. >> and who is doubly precious because my wonderful publishers. they held my hand and walked me through a book which is i will note a washington book that is not too big. it's a short. you can read it quickly. you gain a lot of very good at lessons but it does not require 800 pages or the 20,000 many of these washingtonian books are. >> martha johnson's book, "on my watch: leadership, innovation, and personal resilience." this is a

so what i had in mind when i finished this book, i thought to -- i had this strange feeling that i'd his book i just wrote. what is this reminding me of? and it took me a while to put my finger on it, but here you had this character, brad, who had unleashed, who had triggered -- was sitting in the middle of this great war, and the war was between people with money to invest and the people who were mishandling the money. the middleman and the investors. a war that none of them really wanted in some way but now is happening, he was in the middle. and he's short, very short. and he's in some ways a reluctant middleman in this war, reluctant participant. i thought, oh, my god, i've just written lord of the fringes. [laughter] and i think of him as frodo. >> yeah. >> in a frodo-like way. he's got that situation. and i find his bravery, like frodo's -- >> what does it say about the difference between you and me that i'm drawn to the most dramatic story in the new testament, and you think of "lord of the rings,"? [laughter] >> you were raised with religion. >> no, i have much grander aspirat

he told me that he thought that i was wrong. we had an old trainer there at the time, teddy scott -- he was a great old man. he said to me, "boss -- he's right." so i thought about it. we gave it a try and it worked. it was amazing what you were actually watching. seeing the player's habits. seeing the little defects in their performance. you could see sometimes that a player was not quite right on the day and you would wonder what was wrong with him. it could be a million things. and that observation i've carried through with me all my career and i've used that really well. charlie rose: you have to make sure that you really are 'in the moment' because it is only when you are in the moment that you can see with great focus. you always have to say to yourself, "what is happening here? what is going on?" alex ferguson: that's the power of observation. you don't take your eyes of it. by doing that all the time you increase your ability to see things happening . charlie rose: and then there is -- never stop adapting -- you constantly have

it was like i was taken out of my life. and, what hadappened was, obviously, you do not know how to deal with something like that. i did not. i could not. i made the unbelievable mistake of, after taking a month and seclusion, to go back to work. as if that would somehow take the pain away, if i threw myself into it. the wall got sturdier and my emotions further inside, to the detriment of myself and my family. i was committed to my family, at that point. after 9/11, i left and remarried. i came to some terms with my son's death. it took me a while. it blew open my heart. i saw the life i was leading and the person that i was. i had to change. and, go into myself. be real. be authentic. recognize how important family is and how important your personal mission is. and, i got guidance from his life and from him on a continuing basis. it is like he is here with me and helping me in ways that i would not have been able to help myself. so, i have dug deeper and i think that he became a symbol for teachers who go into difficult parts of the ci

[ laughter ] and i don't even know this guy's name but i got back in the apartment, and the same thing -- i was like, "well, that's the last time i'm ride an elevator with that guy!"

i had to be in an isolation booth, like superman. would walk into a board meeting and would have to have the answer. street walk into a wall presentation and would have to answer financial questions. said, youd in and know what, i am having a hard time and do not have all the me?ers, could somebody hug that would have been it. i am highly competitive and lived a survivalist life. that is at the detriment of your soul, your family, your health, and all of the accessories to power and success become hollow. >> even when you were at the height of the power with the boats and planes? being partoved was of a company of journalists, though makers, and musicians. i would try to get out of the cockpit and go and be with them in the creation. the journalists i would follow along. that was the good part. heart and thest wall that was constructed so that everything that i did related to the company. if you and i met, i would take your measure. your title, if it had nothing to do with the business of time warner, i would move on. that is a terrib

>> no, i never had any -- well, i had one contact with president nixon when miss teenage america was the maine winner and i was asked to take her to meet with president nixon and i did. we obviously didn't have any conversation about what was going on but it was also fairly uncomfortable but he was very gracious and confiding to the winner and congratulating her but that was it. one other time when we were brought to the white house as sort of a rally to rally around the president and support him and i attended that rally with all of the other republican members of the committee. >> do you remember what the president said? >> oh, i do. i remember he gave pretty much of a stem-winder about what he had accomplished and what he wanted to do and how this really was something we had to stand behind him and i remember him saying, i may be a son of a bitch, but i'm your son of a bitch and there were cheers. >> we're going to hear opening statements from the house judiciary committee july 1974. can you explain to the viewers the positioning between democrats and republicans in this committee

>> i had one, but in and out. t now i'm following in his foot steps. >> when is the last time you actually got to touch your child? >> i ain't. >> you never touched your child? >> huh-uh, so i am trying to stay sane, trying to calm down. >> it has been several months since brian edmonds has touched or spoken to his son, brian jr., who is incarcerated a floor below him. >> when he first got locked up, we used to come out and visit together. but we had an argument, and they put keep-aways on us. so i just want him to know that i'm sorry that i ain't ever been there, because i know that is the reason why he is going through what he is going through. so i'm basically apologizing for not being there. >> the two men may not have much time to reconcile. edmonds jr. is about to leave the jail to serve a 30-year sentence. edmonds jr. could get the death penalty if found guilty. when told of his father's apology, he was surprised. >> it is just something hard for me to believe. i will be 19 this year, that is the most mature

depression plus i had multiple sclerosis, and that had its terrible affects of not feeling well, but raert than the ms is the mind. i tell you, if you don't have a will to get that mind together, i don't see how you could win, and so when i got diagnosed with ms and they said i asked them, well, why aren't i able to walk, and they said, well, your brain is not sending a signal to your legs. i'm, like, well, i already have a brain disease. i have depression. one of them got to go. you know? one of them got to go. so i started kind of really focussing on the mind, trying to get clarity, you know, trying to get ahold of my depression, and not fight to be in the darkness and cripple. it's like i can't be depressed and crippled. we got to do something. you know? so i really thought of mentally and it just took just took time. then music changed, you know. r & b no longer defined. we don't even own r & b no more. justin timberlake and robin thicke represent r & b now. it's a whole other life. i had to see if there was a time, and actually that "american idol" performance, i'm glad you mepgs

the first date we broadcast, i had humphrey out. i made sure, before i ended, tomorrow night, we're going to have richard russell. so it was very balanced. finally, the southerners began to trust me and i began to get calls from their press secretary, do you want to come over and meet? >> i think we could keep the story going and doing profiles of the key actors, senator dirks and senator cagle. you mentioned majority leader mansfield. of course, we would always go up to the white house and tried to get a feel for larry o'brien. even the president, who was accessible on the story. one day, i went to see james. it required some coverage. by the way, over 84 days, it was always with senator russell and mr. glass. so i went to see the chairman of the judiciary committee to convince myself i was the congressional correspondent of the new york herald tribune. i am sure you know, a big flag of mississippi, american flag. after about five minutes of a monologue, he had a cigar in his mouth and said, "sonny, you stick around here for 20 year

what wasn't great was last night when i was lying in bed and i had remembered that i had not washed my touching the chicken. [ laughter and applause ] so apologies -- apologies to my wife to whom i roll my eyes every time she tells me to wash my hands after touching chicken. and also apologies to her for years of what life would be like without me. because after i touched that chicken, i likely only have one or two days to live. i touched that chicken a lot. [ laughter ] and when i finish a show, this is like a thing for me. i go, one more down. [ laughter ] so it went right in the mouth. i have a dog. i have a dog named frisbee. i talk about the dog every now and then on the show. one thing i don't do is show pictures of my dog that often. i don't want to be that guy that shows pictures of my dog every time it does something adorable. let me know -- it's not i have a shortage of opportunities, my dog is being adorable 24/7. so i don't want to be the guy that shows pictures, but frisbee did something yesterday. and i'm going to be honest, she went next level. so i'm going to full-on sh
