as kennedy delivered his inaugural address, the crowd at the capital became more engaged and kennedy in turn became more passionate. i write in ask not, i will read a little from the book. he raised his voice still louder booming out the trumpet summons us, then dropping it for though arms we need. and though embattled we are. the next sentences contained his only rhetorical questions -- can we forge a grand and global alliance, north and south, east and west, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? no president before or since has made such an ambitious and idealistic proposal. i'm sorry. when kennedy said this, people cried out yes, yes, yes. if the liberal engagement in world affairs is a high water mark, this was it. now w the shouts of yes from the crowd ringing throughout the capital, kennedy proclaimed that in the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. i do not shrink from this responsibility, i welcome it. i do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other

kennedy. about the time i got to the car, just as they got there the third shot i heard and i fell because it hit the president head just above his right here, right up in here and blood and brain matter were spewing all over the place, including i may. about that time mrs. kennedy came out of her seat. she was trying to retrieve something that had come off the president head and went to the right rear. i slipped at first trying to get onto the car because the driver accelerated the car. i gained my footing again and got up on the car and back into the seat. when i did that the president fell over to his left into her lap and i could see the upper right ocean of his head, and large hole about the size of my palm. it looked like somebody had taken a screw and remained -- removed brain matter. there was blood in brain particles all over the car. his eyes were fixed. i was quite sure it was a fatal wound. i turned and let them know it was a dire situation. the driver accelerated the car and we we

kennedy. at the time, we lived to a top executive at the loyal lincoln dealer. he came over and said president kennedy is coming to town. we are going to service our limousine. he's going to come right by here. we lived a block away from a major east/west street. i know when you are coming by. if you are go out there you'll be able to see them and wave to them. so i went out there. you know, there's no one else there. because the route that he was taking from lowry air force base to downtown denver was not published. i'm the only one out there. i saw the flashing lights. here comes the big limousine. i'm waving. he went right by. he never saw me. he had his head down. it occurs to me that there were secret service agents in that car wondering how did that guy know? [laughter] >> and who else knows? [laughter] >> there's probably something in the files somewhere that said find out about that kid. all right. your book, "the kennedy detail" is getting a lot of attention. one the stories that's be

senator ted kennedy, the late senator ted kennedy who is hard to get a handle on. i have been asked if i consider kennedy a dupe or something else altogether. by found things from kennedy on the vietnam war in the 1960's that he said about our troops. they were almost the identical to things that he was saying about the troops in 2003, 2004, 2005. very startling. i did not realize all the things that kennedy had said about our troops in vietnam in the 1960's. the major revelation that i have on kennedy, which i know a lot of you are familiar with is the may, 1983, document in the central committee archives in the soviet union. my understanding is that the archives have since been resealed. you cannot go in and get that document. that is okay. i've got it in the book. you can read it. i have 1-upped the russians. here is the actual document, which is in the appendix of the book. it is five pages in russian. if any of you regression. i have been told that the translation that is in the book is actually pretty kind. kind of charitable. if you read it in russian, both

kennedy. >>> this week marks 28 years since the shuttle challenger broke apart on launch killing the seven astronauts on board. the disaster left a nation stunned. president reagan was actually scheduled to deliver his state of the union address that night. instead he went on television to comfort the nation. >> today is a day for mourning and remembering. nancy and i are daneed to the core over the tragedy of the challenger. we know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. this is truly a national loss. 19 years ago almost to the day we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. but we've never lost an astronaut in flight. we've never had a tragedy like this. and perhaps we forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle. but they the challenger seven were aware of the dangerous but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. we mourn seven heros. smith, cobey, resmick, mcnair. amisuca, hervis and aminuca. the families of the seven, we cannot bare

as a kennedy?my colleagues, our hearts went out to her and we also realize this is the ultimate culmination we knew was brewing in terms of an atmosphere. granted, it was the act of a lone gunman who was delusional, but still, we've lived in an environment that sanctioned pretty heated rhetoric that's really bordering on irresponsible in how much it condones violence. and the dehumanization of our political leaders. >> reporter: in the debate over whether heated political rhetoric led to the tragedy in tucson, kennedy doesn't mince his words. he says the tone in the country right now is dangerous and destructive. >> it steals from democracy. when you have my colleagues decide not to run for re-election because they're worried about their personal safety or they now their family is, so, they say, why do you want to get into that racket? >> reporter: patrick kennedy also knows something about coping very publicly with loss. he is still grieving for his father, senator ted kennedy, who died two summer

kennedy described.ps utside nspre by the responsee got a few months earlier. this time he asked the entire nation the same thing. he had first asked those students at 2:00 in the morning at the university of michigan in the middle of the night in the middle of the country, and he got the same response. president kennedy was fond of reciting edmund burke's famous quote "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good man and do nothing." caroline, from my perspective, and i certainly don't know but it's the impression i had his whole life was about doing something and asking other good men and good women to just do something, not everything, just do something. they said as a kid in high school this is the lesson i took away from your father's inaugural, and quite frankly that i took away from his presidency. the lesson of ann arbor october, 1960, the lesson of washington and the january 28, 1961. the lesson the state with so many people in this fast magnificent rotunda for so long, long after

kennedy.tage never shown publicly, released by the kennedy library, along with 5bi still photos never seen before tájy tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of kennedy's inauguration, remembered most for the speech he gave and the call to action he delivered to all of us. the president's daughter, caroline kennedy schlossberg, sat down with us here exclusively to talk about the anniversary and the impact it continues to have. >> and so, my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. >> when you think of the speech, does that one line stay with you or do you prefer to think of it as a body of work? >> well, that's obviously the thing that sums it all up, and it has come to sort of encapsulate so many things about his presidency. but i think it's also interesting that it was such an outward looking speech and it really was the beginning of america sort of as a world, as a country involved in the world. and i think my parents both felt that america

kennedy, 50 years ago today.ve imagined what would happen to that man, his family and his country in the coming years. but the words he spoke will live forever. jean kennedy smith is his only surviving sibling, and tonight christiane amanpour gathers her memories in the "nightline" interview. >> ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. >> reporter: it was the clarion call for a new era. the youngest ever elected president and the first catholic. a moment bursting at the seams with hope. >> i john fitzgerald kennedy do solemnly swear -- >> reporter: john f. kennedy's youngest sister, jean kennedy smith, his only surviving sibling, remembers it well. what was it like, listening to that speech? >> well, what we all remember is that very famous line about ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. and i think that sort of sums up his philosophy. that was a very strong sentiment that he believed deeply in. >> reporter: 50 years later, that spe

kennedy had just attended.had finished, he put it aside, shook his head, and issued the following three-word judgment. better than mine. [laughter] while the rest of the country would think differently. his inaugural address would be an instant sensation, and it was easy to see why. its opening words, his first as president, were a reminder to the world that on inauguration day, americans do not celebrate the victory of one political party over another. they celebrate freedom. in the minutes that followed, he aimed to give purpose and direction to that freedom. he sought to define the age in which he found himself and to enlist the nation in what he called a long, twilight struggle against the common enemies of man. he did not say what he would do to arrest these common enemies, nor would he lay out what sacrifices he expected, but the applause of the crowd that they suggested that americans were willing to do what was necessary. the first president born in the 20th century had clearly struck a chord, especiall

>> kennedy's speech talks about sacrifice.that is a word that has been missing from the lexicon, since the certainly -- certainly sends 30 years ago with ronald reagan. >> we hear that a lot did not enough calls for sacrifice. what politician is willing to say -- >> when obama asked for a sacrifice and the state of the union, it cut back on entitlements. let's see. >> last word. see you next week. for a transcript of this broadcast, log on to insidewashington.tv.

that was part of the kennedy legacy. >> there are still dozens of young kennedys who could pick up the torch. so it's possible this is a gap and not the end of an era. >> the work begins anew. the hope rises again. and the dream lives on. >> john hendren, abc news, capitol hill. >> the end of an era for the kennedys, and the beginning of one tonight for the tea party. by some estimates, a third of the new republicans arriving in congress this next week are connected to the tea party. let's bring in jake tapper. happy new year. we knew some of the newly elected tea party republicans haven't always seen eye to eye with the republican establishment. have you seen any signs of reluctance yet? >> yes, many of them wary of republican establishment figures as they were of democratic figures, but since the midterm elections, boehner was elected unanimously to the speaker position, and it's expected he will do a pretty good job of keeping them in line, at least in the short-term. >> we saw many of the tea party candidates campaign on the deficit and the debt. how much the country borrows. do yo

kennedy took the oath of office as president. he went on to deliver one of the most memorable inaugural addresses ever. senior political correspondent jeff greenfield looks back. >> that the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans. >> reporter: he had come to the presidency as the child of wealth and privilege. as a world war ii hero who had almost lost his life. as the winner of the closest of elections. >> i'm not just the youngest elect bud also the first catholic. so that's another reason he had to give a speech for ages, a speech that would unite the country. >> i didn't know you could be a president of the united states and not have gray hair. >> reporter: former reagan speech writer peggy noonan was a ten-year-old girl on new york's long island. >> these new people that came in they had dark hair, like sort of relatively young people, like parents not like grandparents. >> reporter: and it was not just youth but glamour. after 15 years of the midwest plain-spoken harry truman and then dwight eisenhower, kenn

also the democratic need for dynasties like the kennedys. let's give a listen. >> you don't go back to the democrats, any further back realistically than the kennedys and you chart those years even though the jump in years may have been more productive substantively, civil rights, voter rights act, the poverty program you still go back to the kennedyit is because as a nation and as a people, we are into inspirational presentations, productivity, necessarily and kennedy was that. >> same as can be said for the republicans again, you neuron nailed regan in the years that -- you neuron nailed regan in the years that followed him. >>> and also remember that regan's entire thrust even when governor was that government shouldn't do anything so his legacy is the dismantling of government the nonparticipation of government while doing it with style and while doing it in a manner that must be the envy of sarah palin in that whole crowd because he did not generate negative reactions to his dismantling government and condemning government. >> did he di

>> i think we do what john kennedy did is we compartmentalize things. there was so much that was accomplished that was on his way to being accomplished. we put this in one compartment. then in the other compartment is this terribly reckless sexual life. >> reporter: but there is of course another reason. those other memories of another moment in washington. (taps) the sudden end of the kennedy presidency left behind a sense of what could have been. is the legacy what happened or what we think could have happened had he not been killed? >> i think it's what we thought could have happened because in the last 100 days of his life he was suddenly beginning to have the courage to do the things that were going to make him a great president. one was the civil rights bill. the other was the test ban treaty. >> a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. >> but the beginning of his presidency and what turned out to be the end of his presidency were both times the american people hoped that this president was going to solve their problems and was

kennedy is assuming power. kennedy's obligation is to lead and whether he looks forward and eisenhower look back and they stand back to back, that's when these two speeches delivered within 65 hours of each other become timeless. they both are in our culture to conservatives eisenhower is saying are you going to allow yourself passively to be dominated by a vested interest, by a military industrial complex? are you going to allow that to stand in the way of effective citizenship? kennedy to reformers are saying, are you going to allow laws to equip all of us in our daily lives full responsibility for what we are and can be as citizens. it is sort of in this spirit that the torch passes between two generations who have a great deal in common and so on. but also passes from one party to the next in which leaders did disagree. one, it passes. in a memorable, colorful month, 50s years ago in january, 1961. in very different moods, kennedy is an exaltant speech and eisenhower is a farewell. it's a cautious speech. i

interestingly, the kennedy speech develops the same way, the pressure on kennedy during the transition was to knowledge that the election and offer an appeal for unity, to bring as many republicans as possible into his government, and i think they took those suggestions very seriously early in the drafting of that speech. finally, because of the logic of his positions and his responsibility, what takes over in the final draft is a decision to look forward. eisenhower is surrounding power and kennedy is assuming his power is to lead coming and when he looks forward and eisenhower looks back if they stand back-to-back, that is when the two speeches, delivered within 65 hours of each other become timeless. they are both aimed at our culture, to conservatives. eisenhower saying are you going to allow yourselves to be dominated by a vested interest, by a military industrial complex or stand the way of effective citizenship? kennedy reformers are saying are you going to allow laws to equip all of us in our daily lives for the responsibility for what we are and can be as citizens is sort of i

guest: well, nixon always claimed that he wasn't very concerned with the kennedys, but kennedy's name came up in conversation probably more than any other president that we discussed, of his predecessors and his successors. i think that nixon was fundamentally a good man and that he could not stand to see people in positions of power abusing that power and treating people who were in service positions with disrespect. that really grated on him because nixon, we have to remember, came from nothing. he came from poverty, and he just, through the sheer force of will and brilliance -- intellectual brilliance and drive -- climbed his way to the pinnacle of power in american politics. and he never gave up that -- the fact, though, that he was brought up to be a good person, and he could not understand the kind of arrogance displayed by the kennedys in those types of situations. c-span: when did you decide to do this book? guest: i decided to do it several months after nixon passed away. actually, you know, nixon gave me a lot of responsibilities and assignments on a daily basis, so i always

kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the united states. he delivered one of the most famous and moving speeches in american history. jeff greenfield takes a closer look. >> that the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans. >> reporter: he had come to the presidency as the child of wealth and privilege. as a world war ii hero who had almost lost his life. as the winner of the closest of elections -- >> i'm not just the youngest elected but also the first catholic. so that's another reason that he had to give a speech for the ages. a speech that would unite the country. >> reporter: john kennedy took the oath of office, bathed in brilliant winter light. but what is most remembered are the words. >> that we shall pay any price, bear any burden. >> people remember this as a kind of cold war speech because of the, we'll pay any price, bear any burden. most of the rest of the speech was about peace and about negotiations, and about the threat of nuclear war. >> let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate

kennedy. dr.dly recall his words to direct a crowd of 250,000 that gathered that day in the sweltering sun on the steps of the lincoln memorial "we havere in d.c. an, come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects wrote the words of the constitution and the declaration, and a promissory notes of which every american is the fall air. this note was a promise that all men, black, white, red, whatever color would be guaranteed to the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." dr. king would recognize it now, what he recognized then, that all americans of every shade were all heirs to a promise that america made well over 100 years ago and we are looking for that to be cashed. but there are some things, he said, that i must stay to my people that stand on the one threshold that leads into the palace of justice in the prospect of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking f

john kennedy had criticism from the left. is it fair to say that all of these presidents -- >> guest: they are forced into the middle. >> host: basically there are the extremes on the left and the right. and in the end they are forced into that middle. and what was so interesting to me, if you exclude to a large extent the domestic policy side of it, you see the miracle of how they managed to deal with that domestics policy side. as best they can. how they still have the reserves they need and a more global perspective in terms of both the american interest and peace. >> host: i think is it safe to say that reality intrudes and ideology receives? >> guest: definitely. i think a lot of them have to take a very deep breath. and basically forget politicians or at least ideological politics. and look at the reality of the situation. >> host: it's interesting that john kennedy is the fourth of your great caesars. i'm wondering my sense is that nixon famously said it would take 50 years before they could write about him. the irony

it was with carol, and she said to me, "i have this audio book, this ted kennedy book. you have been talking about this book you are working on, and in the audio book, ted kennedy says the same thing. have you read?" i went out and got the book that day and was amazed kennedy had confirmed the very thing i said. tavis: when you listen to the audio version of the tape of the speech, you can hear haley, i call her, mahalia, saying, "tell her about the -- tell them about the dream." there were others on the dais. none of them got to speak. there was sexism that even you admit was in existence. no women could speak on the march at washington. the only woman that mounted the podium that day was mahalia, and only because she was singing. you know it is mahalia yelling, "tell them about the dream." >> using current technology, martin luther king, jr. could mentally cut and paste better than any individual i have ever known, on the spot. in other words, he could speak in real time, and as he was speaking in real time, he could draw from instances and power grabs and sentences f

(paulson) and you were with rosemary clooney as well? well, she was-- i met her that night, and she was performing that night as artists-- she was one of those who had campaigned for robert kennedy. a lot of artists went out on the campaign trail for candidates, and i was with her that night. and actually, at the moment that senator kennedy was shot, i remember that it was the last time i've seen her, which was 32 years ago. she was supposed to sing at the overflow room downstairs, and the senator was supposed to exit one side of the stage where-- to see rosemary clooney, and at the last minute-- you can hear it on the tape. someone says, "this way, senator." and he goes the other way. what happened that night was obviously, for a kid-- i remember seeing people in shock, and i--you know, when you're 12, you've never seen that. i didn't understand why adults were crying, and people were doubled over and, you kn
