270 hours for john f. kennedy. we have roughly 3,700 hours of nixon tapes which cover from february of 1971 to july of 1973 when mr. butterfield's public admission results in the white house shutting down the taping system. so now that you've got a sense of how enormous this system is, if you're trying to figure out water watergate, you realize oh, my goodness, this covers the period. the plumbers. it covers the dirty tricks operations. it covers the watergate break-in and the cover-up. this is going to tell us what actually happened. let's go back to the time line. so you know you have this huge bit of information. and the question is how to get it. now, president nixon -- well, let me put it this way. if we were having this conversation in january of 1973, just imagine that cable existed then. in fact, imagine a different world. but in any case. it's january 1973. you wouldn't know that kennedy had a taping system. kennedy had sadly been dead for almost ten years. you wouldn't know that lyndon johnson who had bee

the big tapers, if you will, are john f. kennedy, lyndon johnson and president nixon. john f. kennedy left us about 270 hours of tape. in fact, kennedy library has, i believe, just released a few more tapes. they've almost released all of those tapes. lyndon johnson left us 800 hours. most of them are telephone tapes. and the johnson library has released all of the telephone tapes. there are still some tapes that were done in the cabinet room that are to be reviewed and released i'm sure in the next few years. we're talking about 800 hours for johnson and about 200 hours for kennedy. then nixon. in 1971, february, president nixon installs the beginning of a taping system, or orders the installati installation. this is a taping system that's going to grow. but ultimately, it would cover the following scenes and sights. the president's hideaway office in the executive office building, the oval office, the cabinet room, the president's office at camp david, and the lincoln sitting room upstairs in the white house. there's a lot in this exhibit that is high tech. but this is decid

john f. kennedy. from '52 onwards, you just see television news and special events reporting, which cronkite was the master of, like walking us through the kennedy assassination, or taking us through, you know, the apollo 11 mission. he would go marathon for days. he was known as the iron pants, became his nickname within cbs culture. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. 2:00 eastern standard time. >> i remember getting these glasses. i just liked the glasses. and my colleague sort of called them my cronkites. and i picked up that name. but it's interesting when you see him with those glasses talking about the death of john f. kennedy, taking them on, looking at the clock. that was his moment. and that is probably the iconic moment in journalism, and the next i think would probably be 9/11. >> everybody knows that clip. i'll tell you, he came in that day, tafs normal friday. a lot of people had cut out for the weekend and others were having long lunches in new york. h

when senator john f. kennedy decided in 1959 to seek the democratic nomination for president, his staff solicited white to manage the campaign in colorado. a senator was not well known in the west. his voting record on agricultural issues did not endear him to those whose livelihoods depended on generous federal policies governing crop prices. white had known kennedy first in england when kennedy's father was minister to the court of st. james and later when they were both p.t. officers in the south pacific. accepting the challenge, white helped kennedy make a respectable showing in the state party convention. at the national convention in los angeles white became close to robert f. kennedy. when the senator secured the nomination, white was named national chair of citizens for kennedy johnson. as a practical matter, the position provided robert kennedy with a daily opportunity to consult white for advice on campaign tactics and strategy as well as for twelter personnel judgments required by a national ca

but it's interesting when you see him with those glasses just talking about the death of john f.on, looking at the clock, that was his moment. and that is probably the iconic moment in journalism and the next i think will be 9/11. >> everybody knows that clip. i'll tell you, he came in that day, was a normal friday. a lot of people had cut out for the weekend. others were having long lunches in new york. he brought cottage cheese and pineapp pineapple. he was an old united press. he got a shooting in dallas and then he ran with it. he didn't just announce it to the nation in that famous scene with the class glass and looking at the clock. will he to continue all weekend long. he had to report on, you know, lee harvey oswald, who he was and then, of course, ruby killing him and how did jackie kennedy handle the death and then the funeral. so i call him like a rabbi or a pastor in chief. he held her hands and in a communal way through that long tragedy of the kennedy assassination. >> more on the legendary walter cronkite in our next hour including why president john f. kennedy bec

john f. kennedy. the assassination of president kennedy on that day in dallas put our guests in the iconic film frames from a photographic images and collective memories that record and recall one of the most genetic moments in our countries history. a history known viscerally to anyone living at that time and sure to be known by generations to come. what is less known about our guest is on the tragic day and for three years before and almost a year afterwards, he was assigned to jacqueline kennedy, not the president and it is that special assignment to guard an intensely private first lady than former first lady that is the subject of his new book, "mrs. kennedy and me." tonight we are pleased the co-author of mrs. kennedy in me, lisa mccubbin joined the conversation. they said co-authored the book, the kennedy detail and its award-winning journalist and tv news anchor and reporter. please join me in welcoming, lisa mccubbin and clint hill.

i was at john f. kennedy's s inauguration as a student. i heard him say on that freezing cold day, much more freezing cold than this, what he asked us to do. ask not what he can do -- you know, the whole thing, that is not what the country can do for you but what you can do for the country. the also said after that, but people do not know, his next sentence was cut to the citizens of the world, ask not what america can do for you but we can do working together for the freedom of mankind. that sentence is something that has been really a began -- beacon in addition to the original part it. my father was part of the administration. so i am honored in the name of all of you in the people of san francisco to bear witness to his work and martin luther king, jr. i was at the margin in 1960. guess what, i had to leave. i cannot stay for speeches. i had to leave because i was going home to get married. paul and i will be married 49 years at the beginning of september. there was ample 28, but guests are coming in, and i had to get going. but i did

incidentally, cronkite taught a course before the 1952 convention which john f. kennedy took on how to be telegenic. it is a longer story. but kennedy came in and as you know, the inaugural was fantastic television of kennedy, and then the press conferences were just dynamite. then the whole hyannis port, cape cod mystique that came up -- don hewitt, the crucial figure, saying kennedies do well. and it was not just kennedy for the nightly news but cbs had all these new shows. you could get on "eyewitness to history." in fact, cronkite covered america's cup up there and got interested in yachting and sailing hang and run the kennedys. but the kennedy era brought television into our lives, the main way people started getting news. and famously, cronkite did a maracas job broadcasting the kennedy assassination to the american people. so, history connects cronkite with the kennedys a lot. he ended up living in martha's vineyard, buying his house and in many ways was part of the set of cape cod. >> at last count, i think barack obama, the president, appeared on "60 mi

even the young john f. kennedy flips through the pages of hitlerland with a short visit. of course, his main entries into his diaries have to do with this "young bundle of fun" he picked up at the border. but the -- and this is a term, you know, that's also incredibly pro-american. yes, the u.s. had entered the war against germany at the end of world war i, but very late in the game. and the main attribute of americans as far as most germans was concerned was they were not the french. they were seen as vindictive victors and who were demanding reparations. while americans were sympathetic to them economically in terms of trying to get them back on their feet and just culturally. and nowhere in europe was americanization what we now often call globalization more eminent than in germany where everything from mass production to hollywood productions to even the first traffic lights were seen as creeping anti-americanism and largely welcomed. so you had all of this going on, which this american community very, very big and very attractive to what they saw. and, at the same ti

and john f. kennedy. >> we have.he key thing and the story i wrote last week, there is a tag line that they were considering using in chicago they may still use on romney. he has never been in it for you. what does that say? it says, it ties up he didn't create jobs at bain. he didn't create jobs in massachusetts. he has this problem of being a rich out of touch guy. he is in it for himself. you talk about f.d.r. or j.f.k., they were rich guys, but they projected the notion that they were on the side of the average voter. what chicago wants to say about romney, he doesn't have your best interests at heart. he has never delivered for you. he is all about himself. if they want to make romney not scary, he is not scary, he is going to be dorky. they have to make him a republican. a lot of the people in the middle think romney is a moderate. they have to nail him for that chris: you said it very well. we asked the that thousands leader, 12 of our regulars will voters blame barack obama personally for his campaign attacks

i was listening to john f.ool guy and the e time i ever heard him blow up was about leaks. leaks drive people crazy. >> was jay carney right that there was no political motivation here? >> no. [laughter] but your leak is my sco. there are journalists who work onhis trade one of the problems politically here, and there is no question that it is to burnish the credentials of the president as commander in chief, remind people of his achievements and republicans held they were entitled to the edge a national security, and a they expected to have it against this harvard law school graduate this effete democratic liberal -- >> community organizer. >> and in 2012, they are running against somebody with credentials, and that is irritation. >> you know how to burnish the credentials? you leaked stories about the most important and sensitive operation we havrun in decades, still ongoing the stuxnet virus. the code name of its successor in place and the story in "th times" with quotations on the record from people in the

and even the young john f kennedy flits through the pages of hitler land, with a short visit, most of his entries in his diaries have to do with his young bundle of fun he picked up at the border. this is a germany that is incredibly pro-american. yes, germany had, the u.s. had entered the war against germany but late in the game. the main characteristic about the americans had was that they were not the french. while americans were sympathetic, often to them economically in terms of trying to get them back on their feet and just culturally. and nowhere in europe was americanizati americanizati americanizati americanization more evident than in germy. so, you had all of this going on, which made a -- this american community big and a track i have to what they saw, and you had the extremists, and one of them was this local agitator in munich called hitler. i asked myself who were the first americans to meet hitler and what did they think of him? and it turns out the first journalist to spend time with hitler is a man by the name of carl vonvegan, he comes from a german immigrant family

the space shuttle enterprise was moved on a barge sunday morning from john f.ennedy airport in new york to new jersey on its way to port elizabeth. it will be brought to the intrepid sea, air, and space museum where it goes on public display on july 19th. >>> took a little walk a few hours ago to stretch my legs. a perfect night. >> it's a really nice night. overall most of us seeing some really nice conditions for this sunday night. a great way to finish off the weekend after those intense storms we saw come through, especially on friday, but it's a pretty nice evening. there are some areas of showers is and believe it or not, all the rain on friday, we still need about four more inches or so. so we still can use the rain around here. right now here's a look at your michael & son weather camera. generally partly to mostly cloudy conditions, temperature now 68, the winds from the north at 5 miles per hour. here's a look at the doppler. you see a couple of scattered showers north and basically east of town. a lot of it out toward the bay now and to the beaches.

i listened to tapes of john f. kennedy, a pretty cool guy, and a one time i ever heard him really blow up was about leaks. leaks drive people crazy. >> was jay carney right that there was no political motivation here? >> no. [laughter] but you're leak is my scope. is my scoop. no question that i.t. is partly to burnish the president's credentials as commander-in- chief. republicans still they were entitled to the edge on national security, and they expected to have it running against this harvard law school graduate, this effete democratic liberal -- >> community organizer. >> all of a sudden in 2012 they are running against somebody with credentials and those are being punished and that is part of the irritation. >> and in order to burnish credentials, you leaked stories about the single mostmportant and sensitive operation we have run in decades, still ongoing, the stuxnet virus. there is a flame -- the code name of its successor -- in place, and the story in the "times" with quotations on the record from people

and have nancy pelosi in between john f.dy and martin luther king, jr., is not a bad place to be. i would like to say that. [applause] and that is, for those of us that follow hockey, that is a real hat trick, but 25 years ago, a little bit more, when we were involved in a congressional campaign. i think we all thought we were going to win, but i do not know if we ever thought that 25 years later we would be naming part of golden gate park after nancy. but if we look back on the 25 years, everything that she did, everything that she stood for has just been a blessing for all of san francisco and actually for the country. i do not really want to 1-up mark. but you know, when he was so proud to be up there on the balcony, i got to be on to the floor. [laughter] anyway, nancy, it is a real pleasure and honor to have so many of your friends here, and a lot of them i see that rather 25 years ago, and they're still there with you. we're going to be with you as long as you want us to be. again, congratulations.

"life" magazine just released these photos from john f. kennedy's run for the white house.a relentless campaigner. a father with his three-year-old daughter caroline, a hint of the glamour that jackie kennedy would bring to the white house, and a 43-year-old candidate with a rare moment alone in his thoughts. they are the forgotten casualties of war. the families of americans fallen heroes. that's next. you can prevent gas with beano meltaways, or treat gas with these after you get it. now that's like sunblock before or sun burn cream later. oh, somebody out there's saying, now i get it! take beano before and there'll be no gas. who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your monthly prescription.

a few days after john f. kennedy was inaugurated president of the united states in january of 1961 byron white slipped out of the building for a quick lunch at a nearby restaurant. after the sandwiches, his coffee was poured the waitress looked carefully and said aren't you whizzer white. white took a sip of coffee, measured her slowly, and replied in a soft voice, i was. for his entire public career, white was constantly framed in the public eye by his headline making first act, an act so to speak that made him a nationwide household name while he was still a teenager. a shy young man with expectations he could not foresee, did not wish, and sometimes could not meet. we're already ahead of the game. summary of act one. byron raymond white was born june 17, 1918 in colorado, but he grew up 11 miles away in wilmington. population 500 at the time. his father managed a lumberyard. the economy was dominated by sugar. a crop demanding attention constantly and back-breaking work. both white and his older brother cl

roosevelt and the urban immigrant labor coalition that sustained the democratic party up to and through john f. kennedy. or even more, barry goldwater who lost overwhelming in 1964 to lyndon johnson. people said conservatism was dead. and the fact is goldwater planted the seeds of a conservative movement that i would argue has yet to crest. >> would any of these contenders have done better with television some some of them had division, but a lot didn't. >> i think let's try james blaine and your guy. bryant certainly would have done well. >> when did blaine run? >> 1884 against -- help me, colleagues. >> grover cleech lancleveland. >> and that's a funny american election that all americans should know about. grover cleveland has a child born out of wedlock, so we have this wonderful couplet where, mom, he's gone to the white house, ha-ha-ha. on the other hand we have blaine who is corrupt and there is compromising letters involving females or sexual affairs, but in this case it's something to do with his taking bribes and working for the railroad. so the american voter on one level is faced w

gordon liddy's attempt to discredit teddy kennedy by discrediting john f. kennedy through the creation of a cable that would lead to the death of the south vietnamese president in 1963. here you can also listen to charles colson talking to the president about the work that e. howard hunt was doing with some cubans. cubans who were, by the way, involved in the plumbers operation and were brought back by the committee for the re-election of the president to be involved in the secret intelligence surreptitious entry business in 1971/'72. this is going to be the hardest thing for the president because he knows who hunt is. and he knows -- and we know this from the tapes -- he knows that hunt is involved in sketchy activities, if not illegal activities. for colson and the re-election campaign. also here, we have president nixon himself ordering a violation of the campaign laws by setting up -- coming up with the idea of a fake write-in campaign for ted kennedy in new hampshire. ted kennedy was not running. he was not an announced, declared candidate in the 1972

job training programs, you know, we've had them since john f. kennedy's administration. they've never worked very well. the gae has said they've never worked very well. let's let the states fund it and do it and then the states can learn from each other to see what works. so, you know, the problem is we have over a thousand federal aid to stay programs now. the money pours out of washington, there's rules and regulations with each of these programs. they put state governments in a straight jacket, which doesn't make any sense and we see that now with no child left behind, states have rebelled against that. one political scientist said the problem now is we have sort of a marble cake with american federalism between the three layers of government. we should have a layered cake. each of the levels of government should fund their own programs, do their own programs and the states should look at each other to see what works. the transition over to canada, this is one of the this evenings canada did. two decades ago canada was in a horrible budget situation like we are today,
