that we let -- linden texas prison to come out of that. that is primitive then you look around and then say what have they done? they have built cities and the educator children and they build humans that are characteristic but it is a neurosis because you're not being yourself and you are seeking a high degree to be saying as a characteristic but then there is a level three to go through that. of looking around and then turning back to the roots to see what's available and to me the moment that i recognize that this is a sophisticated take and the country music has influenced and with that little town in those. >> and then many of the people here get me the hell out of here but how did you feel as a kid? and then you are beat up for reading books how that affected you but i think that kennedy assassination was motivating me i was in dallas and algebra class and there was a stigma but especially to dallas everywhere you went that that is an irony because what was once our right wing fanatical and then when they came in at ally stevenson ca

in fact a couple months later linden -- lyndon johnson announced he would not run again and maybe people said this decision was due in large part to the unpopular war in vietnam. remarkably hers march in the mansfield office was not her last trip to the capital. in 1969 she testified before congressional committees on behalf of the direct election of presidents. she wanted to eliminate the electoral college and set up a system that would allow voters to rank their preferences. in 1970 she returned to the rayburn building for her 90th birthday party. now in a wheelchair and sporting a signature wig she reveled in the praise. members of congress -- indeed even after her death in 93 rankin just could not stay away from the capital. in 1985 montana sent a statue of the -- she stand at attention in the capital visitor center greeting thousands of school children as they stream in for two of the capital. the figure depicts a bold woman with a clear eyes and calmly facing the future. the phrase i cannot vote for war is written across the bronze statues face. when these words were first uttered

you know, linden johnson put three televisions in the oval office so he could watch the various networks so he was obsessed with it. one of the interesting things about -- i know bill knows this -- about talking to presidents, they always claim they don't read the coverage, but they always know who exactly to be mad at. so, how exactly that tracks is a great question. >>> i think where we are historically is we're all the way back to the 19, 18th century, 19th century model where the media was inherently partisan. the only economic model that worked for the first 125 years or more of the republic was each party, each fax had a newspaper. the incumbent party would give the congressional printing contract to the favored newspaper. it was really only in the early 19th -- 20th century, rather, where we began to have the idea that you would have facts and make a decision on your own. of course, the fairness doctrine with radio and television. so, i think the 19th century analogy is really important here. i think a lot of the political culture is as it was in the 19th century and what we have

if you listen to -- tapes from linden johnson and some of the language and has comments about things that were going on and probably other residents have felt the same way every time they lose a decision. i don't know whether they use i suspectanguage but you would hear similar language from other presidents. you have some very interesting cases in these series. presidents do not like to lose anything, particularly in the supreme court when they pray much now that is the end of the line. mr. abrams: i would just add the reference to justice stewart and justice white, it is quite right that they were the deciding vote. we had four votes when we came in and the question was always would we get two more. it was justice stewart's opinion which is generally viewed as the opinion of the court, in which he wound up saying that the only circumstance in which a prior restraint could issue in a case like this is when the government proves that the disclosure of the materials would surely result in direct and immediate and irrevocable harm to the nation. that's a tough standard to meet, and he

i think the war protesters were significant to ending the war because they drove linden johnson out of office. he knew he wasn't going to be re-elected. so he withdrew from possibility of nomination, i think that was because of the protesters put so much pressure on him. now my question for mr. stanton, who i think is a hero too. when robert mcnamara wrote his become about 15 years ago in which he said that they all knew that it was an unwinnable, untenable tragedy, how did that make you feel? did that vindicate your feelings of doubt as a soldier or do you think he should have taken it to his grave? >> lynn novick, i thought i saw you nodding your head for a second, did you want to respond? >> oh, i mean, i think a number of soldiers that we spoke with, in particular, carl marlantis who was a marine, who gave up a rhodes scholar to go to vietnam in '68, he wrote in the pentagon papers to mcnamara in '75 saying the chance of victory are one in three, but recommending escalation and johnson going along with it and revelations from mcnamara, saying it couldn't be won. it ju we just kept
