it is a jfk who changes. who understands the two great pressing down -- two great forces pressing down upon him and his generation in 1963 -- the threat of nuclear war and the arrival of civil rights. how is he as president get ahead -- as president to get ahead of that? he finds ways and he is not afraid, because he, after all, is a student of history. someone who has read history, written history, and more than anything wants to make history. when he thinks about the cold war, it's not using the same rhetoric as before. he doesn't want to win the cold war, he wants to end it. with civil rights, he wants to recast it as a new question. i saw in him a moral president with his flaws. as you go through this book, it is not uncritical of president kennedy, as i follow him hour-by-hour. and i do. but it is the sheer velocity of the presidency, how much he does in one day. it's not that he is chained to his desk at 6:00 a.m. or that he doesn't go for a nap at three the afternoon or swim twice a day. he is desperat

nixon and jfk. it is classic eleanor roosevelt. it is passive-aggressive, complements, criticism. the tone of the latter is, i was watching the debate last night with some friends and although i thought you did very well, i thought i would share some of their comments with you. one of the people she was watching the debate with was lloyd benson. many years later he made the reference to knowing john kennedy. she said he came across as too confident. he wanted to include the audience more in his answers. it is a classic letter. she campaigned for him quite vigorously. she did what she thought she needed to do for the democrats to win. she thought it was vitally important. she had had repeated run-ins with eisenhower and completely disagreed with his policies and thought it was a orton for a democrat to get in arid to resurrect some of the new deal policies that she had supported so strongly. once kennedy gets elected, the first thing he does is appoint eleanor roosevelt. >> it is fascinating. not jus

i am a huge fan of the car-vey portion of jfk -- car free portion of jfk. i have been hit twice by cars while riding a bike in san francisco. when we have cars speeding on the streets it creates an unsafe environment. i avoid the western part of jfk when biking through the park, which i do frequently. typically at least a couple times per week. there are cars there and they are aggressive and it is unpleasant. i think it is unfortunate when we have places in the parks that are supposed to be a place for relaxation. they are unpleasant and scary. i would note that there is a parking garage underneath the museum. every part of the park is dedicated specifically for cars to speed through. a lot more people are using the car free portion of jfk than ever used it when there are cars there. in fact closing the street enhances access to the park. thank you. please work to enhance more car free spaces in the park. thank you. good-bye. operator: you have four questions remaining. >> caller: this is haden miller. what people are saying is false. the road around the p

she felt that she owed it to jfk to do that, so she brought her children.t was a totally off-the-record visit. they had dinner. and she wrote to president nixon afterwards. she said, "a moment that i had always dreaded" -- meaning returning to the white house -- "turned out to be one of the most important days i've ever spent with my children." so, she was grateful to nixon for that. in later years, she was not too happy with nixon after -- particularly during watergate. it came out the number of things that president nixon's people tried to do to damage the reputation and image of president kennedy. >> in 1968, she saw her brother-in-law, robert kennedy, assassinated. the two were very close, as i understand it. >> they were. thank goodness she wasn't in los angeles for that. >> yeah, i didn't mean it literally, but. >> right. but -- but had to go through that yet again. and, yes, they had been very close. >> how concerned was she about security for herself and her children after? >> oh, terribly concerned after that. and she supposedly said that, you know
