what he is reminding ted kennedy of is that his association was with bobby kennedy and jack kennedy ands a bit of a put-down and a bit of a condesc condescending thing as well as appealing to him to straighten out. i can't imagine that ted kennedy really was irritated about this and his letter back to moynihan, which is quoted in the book, is very chilling. he continued to use the phrase benign negative against the nixon administration. >> the moynihan/kennedy relationship, he retired and hillary clinton ran for the seat in 2000. they served in the senate together for over two decades. and that relationship was always kind of icy, wasn't it? >> it was. there are a lot of alumni in this town who worked for one or the other. there were some cases but not many. each team has reunions. there's a rivalry there and it's a big set of teams. but it has to be said that moynihan did stand with ted kennedy in a lot of cases, especially in the 1990s, when president clinton signed the welfare bill that ended welfare as an entitlement and there are great letters in there where moynihan and kennedy re

you were talking about how president kennedy influenced your life and your career here. tell me about that. >> well, i went to the democratic convention with my parents in 1960. and as you know, the president won in november and as the world knows and then was sworn in in january. and that was 50 years ago. so for decades our country has been blessed with the inspiration that president kennedy was to our nation. but as a young person, i was very inspired by him and his presidency. and honored to be at the inauguration, actually wednesday pelosi has represented california's 8th district in congress since 1987. she won a special election after her good friend congresswoman salah burton who had terminal cancer asked her to run for the seat. pelosi was 47. and the mother of five. >> so a mother of five to a to member of congress, only woman in the room a lot of times, you talk about in the book. was it just her saying to you, you're the one i want to take my seat? how did all that happen. >> it's pretty much that. i had really not entertained the thought of runing are for pu
