in the last compartment jackie kennedy is sitting next to the coffin of her husband but in the center compartment where lyndon johnson is sitting in the president's share there is an error of great calm. we know what he's planning because he is making a list, little note pad on air force one with the heading air force one and he writes on one of them one step, 2 cabinet, 3 the economy in with the staff, the cabinet immediately and the congressional leadership. we know about incidents that occurred during that flight or in one case just before it took off when lyndon johnson called to robert kennedy. these at the to to to have hated each other all their lives. at the time, kennedy is having lunch, he had a house in virginia called hickory hill, a big old house. then there's a long green lawn its slowed down. robert kennedy is sitting at a table with robert morgan who is jewish attorney for new york and two things happen simultaneously. all of a sudden the house is being repainted, there was a guy on the latter and all of a sudden he claps the shortwave transistor radio to his year,s do

talk more then about the similarities between jackie kennedy and mrs. n. >> there is also a lot of great differences, of course, because jacqueline kennedy did, carry to popular belief, have a great knowledge and interest in public issues and political issues but she didn't get into them and she wouldn't address them in public. she only did so privately. like betty ford, hillary clinton has always talked about the rights of women and that this is important and she has actually even brought that point out from a very practical point of view to many nations that don't include women in their societies as fully. she says, look, you're not using 100% of what you could be using in terms of brain and know-how and business skill and workforce. and you suffer by that and like dolley madison, as first lady in the white house, she very effectively used entertaining as a way to sometimes forward the objectives of her husband's political agenda. certainly, what people also don't realize about hillary clinton is she had a great love and fascination for american art. s
