kennedy. and at the time we lived next door to one of the top executives at the local lincoln mercury dealer, and he told my dad and i, president kennedy's coming to town. he's going to come right by here. we just lived a block away from a major east/west street. if you go out on sixth avenue, you'll be able to see him and wave to him. so i went out there. you know, there's no one else there that the route he was taking from the air force base to downtown denver was not published. so i'm the only one out there. i saw the flashing lights, i wave and wave and wave, and he went right by be. he never saw me, he was reading something. it o occurred to me reading this book that there were secret service agents in that car wondering, hey, how did that guy know? [laughter] and who else knows? there's probably something in the file somewhere that says find out about that kid. [laughter] your book, "the kennedy detail," is getting an awful lot of attention. and one of the stories that's been talked abou

kennedy says this letter says kennedy is very impressed, very impressed with and drop off. not impressed with reagan. the argue, canada will go to moscow and meet with soviet leadership. even talked about bringing a liberal republican with him. they talked to them. helped arrange for soviet media tour in the united states. basically a kind of public relations for in the united states. a kind of a pr campaign to help communicate soviet peace contention. so will high-level military and political officials come to the united states, talk directly to the american media. sit down interviews and even mention by name walter cronkite and barbara walters as two people who could do interviews. they could directly communicate to the american people. what happened with all of that? then it ends up in 1984, talks about the election campaign coming up and there is a discussion about senator kennedy's presidential prospect in the 1984 race. it finishes up with that. what ever became of this? this is may of 1983. he eventually got sick at the end of the year, died in february 1984. they ta

kennedy proposes the following. and they give three different steps here, but basically what can be believed, according to this document, what kennedy believed is that the soviets wanted peace, and is increasing in cold war tensions was the fault of reagan. and the soviets needed help in better team in getting their peaceful intentions to the american media and to americans, generally. because as this letter says, lesley, reagan was good at propaganda. so you need to figure way to get around reagan's smokescreen propaganda. so how do you better communicate directly to the american people? kennedy is very impressed, his exact words, very impressed with and drop off. not impress with reagan, very impressed with others. so they argued from kennedy would go to moscow, they were the soviet leadership, even talks upbringing senator mark hatfield, a liberal republican, within. they would talk to them, they would help arrange for soviet needed to it in united states, basically a kind of a public relations door in the united

basically what kennedy believed according to this document, what kennedy believed is that the soviets wanted peace, and this increasing cold war tensions was the fault of reagan, and the soviets needed help in better communicating their peaceful intentions to the american media and americans generally. as this letter says, reagan was good at propaganda. you need to find a way to get around reagan's smoke screen of propaganda. how do you better communicate directly to the american people? kennedy is very impressed with this, not impressed with reagan. so, they argue here, kennedy would go to moscow and be with the soviet leadership, even talks about bringing senator mark, hatfield, a liberal republican with him. they talk to them, help arrange for a soviet media tour in the united states. basically, a kind of a public relations tour in the united states, a kind of a pr campaign. those are my words, pr campaign, to communicate peaceful intentions so high-level soviet officials would also come to the united states to talk directly to the american media and even mentioned by name walter c

kennedy. although, if you look closely, he would have had to have shot mrs. kennedy in the back of head in order to get to the president at that time. and just doors that were defaming the people -- just stories that were defaming the people. i read a story in tampa, i went back and looked at my records and i said it's time to set the record straight. there are not many of us left, and we are all gray-haired and we won't be along -- around very long. so we wanted to leave a record. to find somebody, i must've written probably about seven books to tell the story. but to find somebody that could put the heart and soul to the book, lisa mccubbin who wasn't even born at the time of the assassination, joyce, my wife and i were friends with her parents. she graduated with my son from high school. so lisa in the course of this became an aging, and i think i will let her discuss her feelings as she put this together with me. >> do you want me to talk about that a little bit? >> assure. >> first of all

kennedy did, too, but kennedy look better. four years later, at the republican convention where barry goldwater was nominated, nixon introduced him and he was getting make-up. hewitt said that nixon -- he told nixon that if he had let frannie make him up, cold water would be introducing him. >> you don't have anywhere near the kind of atmosphere you have these days. you have a large amount people. some are for you and summer for the other guy. >> that 70 million figure reminds me, that was pretty close to what the sarah palin- joe biden numbers were. an interesting development which you had a much more significant larger audience for the bus president. i would ask you and mike mccurry, keep in mind that thing we saw in nixon and kennedy. by colleague wrote a piece about the preparation. nixon was alone in solitude. you can imagine him being a loner. kennedy was his aides, looking at 3 by 5 cards. in your experience, does the preparation of a debate to you about the person? if the american people could see the preparation, with

the whole atmosphere of kennedy's confident and nixon's uncertainty and nixon loong at kennedy of the time, all of that made it very clear that kennedy was very much on the rise. interestingly, a young don hewitt told the story that nixon had reduced the make a plea he was there. kennedy did, too. he looked better. nixon turned it down. four years later, at the republican convention, nixon was to introduce him at the convention. he was getting made up. hewitt said to him, and if you have let frannie make up for years ago, goldwater might be introducing you and not the other way round. nixon said, "you are right." >> there was no live audience. it was a huge television audience. there is no in the place -- there was no one in the plays it said the two of these guys. you do not have the atmosphere you have these days. they are all quite express it. >> that reminds me. that was pretty close to what the sarah palin/joe biden numbers were. they had visited a larger audience for the vice president. i wanted to ask you about that. i want to ask you this thing. my colleague wrote a thesis abo

we, of course, will be back with duncan kennedy as soon as we get the results. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. a true giant of u.s. foreign policy. that was the president's description of his special envoy to afghanistan and pakistan, richard holbrooke. known to friends and enemies as the bulldozer. in recent years he has been trying to bend afghani beaters to america's will. >> a towering figure. richard holbrooke was famous for getting his feet dirty. >> i do not think the to and draw in national conclusion from this. >> known to have been blunt behind-the-scenes, yet courteous. >> i carried a personal message from president obama. >> a tough negotiator and a veteran troubleshooter. having worked with tcratic assoe 1970's. europe's war in bosnia, he persuaded the leaders of the warring parties to go to some unlikely surroundings. making it clear to them that they would not be leaving until a peace deal was signed. >> on paper we have peace. making it work is our next and greatest challenge. >> he approach

kennedy. they met kennedy record at the white house.nd then we lose control of this thing before we even get it going. so he told stanley to go out to the most left oriented labor union and get money and to start getting out who, you know, who might be interested in doing this kind of thing. now, as it turned out it was a mainstream guy, walter reuther who is a critical part of this, and he was a big force that he was on a those affectations who were against john lewis' speech, he kind of pressured martin is looking and roy wilkins and buyer trust and philip ross and others to make sure that accommodate a catholic that you'd want to see this whole big faction lead, this whole group of whites leave. and so he was, you can't use a liberal by any stretch, by any definition, but he was also terribly concerned about having a whole faction lead because of a handful of phrases in a speech. but, you know, organized labor in these days was lily-white and it was oftentimes deeply, deeply racist. and walter reuther, although he been talking about
