johnson of course is not -- johnson doesn't cooperate with manchester. he refuses to sit down for an interview. you see all these notes where manchester is constantly writing mainly jackal and asking for access to the president. they keep putting them off and putting them off. and then comes along jim bishop. jim bishop was a popular writer. it was interesting for me when i write history books, they need to be objective, fair-minded. jim bishop is sending these log lift to lyndon johnson about you are such a wonderful leader. i couldn't imagine writing a negative book about you. so johnson agrees to participate in a project that jim bishop is doing about a day in the life of lyndon johnson, which is this puff piece. but what they're both trying to do, and what johnson does with jim bishop is tell his side of the story. jim bishop comes out a few years later after manchester about the day kennedy died. but by 1960 people were sick of lyndon johnson and nobody wanted to hear his side of the story. i did enough, bishop is closer to the truth than manchester

johnson. mr. gillon chooses new declassified archival sources to discover the first hours of the johnson administration. barnes and noble in new york city hosted the event. >> i think the question, when you write a book like this, the first question that you have to answer is do we really need another book about the kennedy assassination, is there anything new? to be said about the assassination of president kennedy. are there new materials that have suddenly become available that have not been available for the past 46 years that allow us to see these events in a different light? on tuesday, my answer to that equation is yes, for very selfish purposes. most of the books, the vast majority, you could fill a small library, they focus on one question, and that is who shot jfk? where did the bullets come from? was there a shooter on the rasky noel? was oswald a patsy? was this part of the two, part of a military-industrial complex because of initiatives kennedy had taken? these issues are fascina

johnson and simmons are 6'6". lewis, 6'5" and a good scorer. probably the most important player today, donte smith, the point guard going against that nebraska pressure. and usc had their coach, tim boyd, take their team to the title last year. now, kevin o'neill takes over. a 13-year head coach, in college and the nba. the series history, this is the seventh meeting between usc and nebraska. and the trojans have won five of the previous six. last time they met, it was the trojans by ten over the cornhuskers. here we go. steve physioc and marques johnson with you. the usc, the cardinal in gold. and the nebraska cornhuskers in the red uniforms. nebraska cornhuskers are 3-1 this year. their one loss was to st. louis. usc is 2-1. their one loss to lmu. seems they lost 27 games last year. >> marques: an outstanding matchup between the bigs of nebraska and marcus johnson. ubel, not having any of it. blocked the shot. that's going to be a tough matchup for ubel. ubel is about 6'11", a five-inch height advantage. >> steve: there's anderson. they want

kennedy, quite surprisingly, offers the best presidency to johnson -- the vice presidency to johnson. he does so because he thinks it will be a tight election in 1960, and it is one of the closest elections in american history. one could convincingly argue that if lyndon johnson had not been on the ticket, john kennedy would not have been elected president. the other surprising aspect of that is lyndon johnson accepted the vice presidency. the assumption had been that johnson would not take because of his powerful position as majority leader. he takes it for two reasons. one, he thinks he has to. he will not live that long and this will be his only shot. secondly, you know, he assumes that seeking the presidency -- that he can get the presidency after kennedy serves to terms. -- two terms. it is a fascinating situation. lyndon hated the job. his statement was, after all the ceremonies and the traveling, it came to nothing. on assuming the presidency, however, he was very morbid about it, and he reflected back to harry truman the least he died and did not get shot. it is a kind of mixe

on a similar note, the life of johnson, a certain sort of englishmen, johnson has almost biblical authority for a good reason. it is fun to read. it is johnson who tells us that the first wig or the first liberal was the devil. it is a great reminder of something of that those of us involved can too easily forget, we are conservatives, the famous line -- how human hearts and were, laws are changed and cause or cure. politics, ideology is not the be all and end all of life. dr. edwards mentioned russell kirk. i agree the conservative mind, essential reading. for nothing else, all politics are really more questions. that is very true. start off, we americans start with the bible and shakespeare, let's get to shakespeare. it you want to each participant in politics, read about leadership and a good way to learn about leadership is shakespeare's henry v. it is classic. this rousing, stirring battle cry of a play, it ends on a very down note. that is important too. it reminds us of the old line all political lives and failure. that is the cut off. all political lives end in failure. that is the
