i don't think john was sure how martha might adjust -- his wife might fare in washington.he became a great personality and she loved it but it also would destroy their marriage. it was a close relationship. i remember i worked in the deputy attorney general's office as associate deputy attorney general. no one will have more influence with this president than john mitchell and that was true. he was on a lot of key committees that the white house and was somebody who would go over to give the president advice. the closest i ever got to hearing how they interacted was when i listened to the tapes on the selection of two empty chairs. by that time mitchell's relationship with nixon has become strained. i do this particularly when i did the new addition to blind ambition, my first book i added an addendum, you can't understand water gate without understanding personality. anyone who thinks personalities don't get in the way and it became a real conflict between john mitchell and john ehrlichman. another lawyer, he was trying to set domestic advice. the only department he had n

filipino anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist femme anytime journal and in one of -- feminist journal and martha stewart in the same month. [laughter] one piece of the response really does worry me. i've been going all around the cup and showing the film of the story of stuff. and as you know from seeing it, it lays out a pretty broad, pretty systemic problem. it's not like a little problem i'm pointing to. i cannot tell you how often in the public event that universities, conferences, churches all over someone raises their hand and says, what can i buy differently to solve this problem? or people ask, what can i do? i like to see what people are thinking, so i say, what can you think of doing? and sometimes i push and push and push, and the answers stay stuck in this individualist consumer part of ourselves. i can ride a bike, i can recycling, i can carry my own bag, i can stop using bottled water. all of this as an individual or as a consumer. now, i think we should definitely do all those things, and those are great, but those are not in the category of making systemic change. those are rah k

many conservatives have actually had some good things to say about elena hay began, sidney thomas, marthainow. and elizabeth warren, she runs the t.a.r.p. program, which is not a very popular program itself, but elizabeth warren is in charge of keeping track of the money. and of late the government has been saying that money's coming back in, so maybe her story has gotten a little bit more favorable in recent days, on capitol hill, are they gearing up? is this going to be a big fight or are people waiting to see who it is? >> people are waiting, but obviously they're gearing up, as it happens with every single supreme court pick, we have the name, every interest group has the names and they're doing their home work just in case, there's no question. but what's so interesting to me is that from the perspective of democrats, i have not talked to anybody who has not said that there is no stomach among democrats for a big fight to begin up the liberal base. just the opposite. if they have their way, it will be as noncontroversial as possible, it will get through and they can move on to the do

and his -- my counterpart in senator mitchell's office was a woman by the name of martha pope. and and the two of them would sit where are you having problems? who in your caucus is going to give you a difficulty. can we get these things done? i mean, dole would go to the senate cloakroom. each party has a cloakroom that manages the floor for them. and dole would -- there were recordings where the staff would essentially call and say the following bills are going to be occurred. -- considered. if you have objections, if there are any particular issues. and dole would make the recording himself. and you can see the lights -- you know, the phones light up 'cause dole is on the phone telling people this is what we're going to do and that's because he and mitchell have decided these are the things we need to get done where rod had indicated where he would go to the floor and make it happen. the two of them would have a good relationship. tom daschle -- they ultimately became partners together at a law firm and worked well together. were not together for a very long time. but again,

in massachusetts it is going out to the point where you have a situation where martha coakley is not getting the kind of support from the democratic base you would expect. she's having a hard time getting the number of independent voters that she would need to rss with these questions of taxes, spending and the deficit. i just can't answer that i just don't know. >> one of the most dramatic, human moment in the book, or series of moment is the clinton's attempt to get teddy kennedy to endorse hillary for president over barack obama. and both the frustration and anger that both clintons felt, they felt they had a bond with the kennedy family. they had gone sailing with them. president clinton regulate and privately would tell people how frustrated he was he had done so much for the kennedy family as president and they seem to be drifting towards obama. hillary clinton and bill clinton have incredible political sport in one of the satisfying moment for them on super tuesday was despite the fact that senator kennedy had endorsed barack obama, hillary was able to win massachusetts. some
