mrs. kennedy. and you mentioned eleanor roosevelt, you mentioned mamie eisenhower. how about bess truman? let's think of those three to jacqueline kennedy. those ladies when he left office were all in their '60s. jacqueline kennedy was 31 when she came to the white house to be first lady. there had not been young children in the white house since the teddy roosevelt era, in the early 1900. and they were not as young as young caroline he was only three when her parents into the white house, and john junior had just been born between the election and inauguration at the time that's ever happened in the history of the presidency and the first ladies. this picture was taken about 1962. can you even imagine mamie eisenhower our best to it on a horse? one of the reasons i can't imagine that is like my own grandmothers who are of that generation, i never saw my grandmothers wear trousers. my grandmothers always wore dresses. even just to see a first lady in writing close and to be as athletic as she was a

mrs. kennedy putting out the symbols or images. in 1952 when president eisenhower was elected president. 20% had television but by 1960 was kennedy, 80% of households have television. if they were all black and white. and we only had to new channels. that is true but they were on television all lot. mr. mrs. kennedy lowered beautiful on television and even more beautiful and the glossy "life" magazine covers. practically every week one or more of the kennedys think of the brothers and the sisters and a brother in law and the sister-in-law were portrayed. as typical of pop culture icons, they reflect the times in which they live to become a wince has which they live. and television comes on the scene, this photo is from the famous devore from valentine's day 1962. joshi took him through the white house, showed that -- showed all the rooms she did not read from cue cards but had this in her brain. all of the portraits and pagers and furniture and restore a further she one -- one and every award and then show is recorded in the center

mrs. kennedy's life. is the red room and the reason i show this is that was the first round that she completed in a restoration that this was the day of her husband's funeral. and she insisted that she meet those who were coming from afar, those who were diplomats, the diplomatic corps from abroad and so she stood with her brother-in-law senator edward kennedy to her right and she insisted on treating everyone who had come to pay their respects to her husband. on a more glittery note, can we remember her for her state entertaining. in the short amount of time that she was in the white house and it was only a little over a thousand days, she and her husband through 16 state dinners. in the first term, full four years of the w. bush term, they hell held i believe it was two. now, mind you 9/11 happened during that time. there were security issues, but the bushes, the second bush is from texas were just not as interested in that. they weren't as interested in state entertaining. they weren't as interested in

mr. kennedy? >> i'm doing pretty well. >> it's so good for someone to really see your show because a lot of fans that the people want to bring out and didn't have a chance to bring it out. i have three or four points on the presidential. >> ok. number one is i felt within myself that somewhere down the line, someone would have thought about this at the time. the only reason why obama is our president right today and he should give all of the credit to the kennedy, that one that is deceased. >> ted. >> he thought a lot of obama and obama served with him in congress for two years and they were very close, very close. and knowing this, that was another thing. stars on the black race concern, reverend wright helped him on that. these come into context. you know exactly how it was at that time. now another thing is -- i feel that way myself. now obama is very intelligent, very knowledged as far as that is concerned, but as a leader, as a commander in chief as the president of the united states, i don't

mrs. kennedy, every first lady and every administration since president madison's time has made changes, greater or smaller, in the white house. before we look at any of the changes you've made, what's your basic plan? >> well, i really don't have one because i think this house will always grow and should. it just seemed to me such a shame when we came here to find hardly anything of the past in the house, hardly anything before 1902. i know when we went to colombia, the presidential palace there has all the history of that country in it. every piece of furniture in it has some link with the past. pleasure i thought the white house should be like that. >> host: anita mcbride, did she define the modern first lady? >> guest: well, i think, actually, modern first lady may have been defined by eleanor roosevelt and given how activist that she was. but what you saw in that clip with jackie kennedy was with actually quite extraordinary, and people don't realize how much work went on behind the scenes to create this history in the white house, that as she rightly says she was surprised was not there wh

now at harvard's kennedy school of government. mr. ambassador, first, what do you think of the u.s. introduction of dronz into this combat? >> well, jim, i think it was absolutely necessary. we have to remember that since april 1949, nato has been led by the united states, and you saw in the first episode, the first 10 days of this crisis. we saw in-fighting among the europeans, and frankly an inability to employ the kind of technology that was necessary in a place like misrata, so the decision by secretary kbaetss today, that the united states will use predator, is exactly what has to happen in the close combat, street-by-street, alley-by-alley, in misrata which is a besieged and embattled city. i think this is a very good decision by the obama administration. >> lehrer: do you agree with that? >> absolutely. this is a unique capability, these remotely piloted vehicles that only the u.s. can deliver in this situation, and fighting in an urban area, where the combatants are in very close quarters. they're mixed up with each other. it needs close oversight, a good view from the air i

mr. berlusconi denies the charges. he claims they are politically motivated. duncan kennedyas more. >> these are among the serious allegations, silvio berlusconi has ever faced. the 74-year-old prime minister of italy accused of paying a 17-year-old prostitute for sex. he is also charged with abusing his power by getting the police to release the teenager from custody. this is the teenager, known as ruby. now 18, she and the prime minister deny they had sex. ruby says she did receive money and gifts from mr. berlusconi because she needed help. the prime minister says he believed she was 24, not 24, and that he did call police on her behalf, but only because he believed she was the niece of the former egyptian position, hosni mubarak, and wanted to help a fellow leader. the trial is unprecedented. >> it is like a high noon, like a western movie between the magistrates and silvio berlusconi. someone is going to get hurt badly. if mr. berlusconi is convicted, i don't think this is relevant. it is yet another blow for him, and maybe the final blow. >> mr. berlusconi is paying a

[laughter] i'm honored to read a portion of this senate speech in april 1964 when senator kennedy said, mr. president, it is with some hesitation that i rise to speak on the pending legislation before the senate. a freshman senator should be seen, not heard, should learn, and not teach. it is true that prejudice exists in the minds and hearts of men. it can want be eradicated by law, but i firmly believe a sense of fairness and good will also exists in the minds and hearts of men. this noble characteristic wants to come out. law expressing as it does the loyal conscious of the community can help it come out in every person so in the end the prejudice will be dissolved. as a young man, i want to see an america where everyone can make his contribution, where a man will be measured not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. i remember the words of president johnson last november 27th. no memorial or eulogy could more eloquently honor president kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long. my brother was a firs

mrs. bush did that i thought was brilliant and i believe in this regard barbara perry will speak about this is the reason and jacqueline kennedy gave 1962 budget it really war on terror up and people like tours much better after that. sell both barbara and george bush gave a prime-time tour of the white house on a program on abc and it was said tour of the family level it was very in tiering. and sam donaldson was one of the reporters going on the tour and says at one point i enter stand during world war ii winston churchill used to visit the white house and he would walk around in the altogether would you permit that? and mrs. bush said i would definitely permit that but i would not look. [laughter] and later she goes out to the balcony on the white house bill by a harry truman and says you know, mrs. bush this particular balcony was built by mr. truman. and she says i would not know i was not born then.

kennedy went being worried about the rapidly increasing apole -- apollo. and told that those funds could be raised and a fight ensued whether it was appropriate to provide that extra money. the answer on mr. webb's terms was no. and holmes went to the times and said that kennedy was an i instigator. and he went to see what it was about, and kennedy had a meeting in the oval office and after the bay of pigs. and there is a fascinating discussion and kennedy being very clear why we are going to the moon. >> (inaudible) on the apollo. and (inaudible) no matter how, and we can spend 10 billion and get (inaudible) or 7 billion into space. if you say that (inaudible) and second point is the fact that (inaudible) made in this day but the system to do this. why this program (inaudible) they will find out about. >> but you talk about (inaudible). >> everything we do ought to be tied into getting on the moon and ahead of the russianrussian. >> why can't it be tied (inaudible). >> later in the conversation, kennedy said i am not that interested in space taken out of context because he's not interested in spending that much on space rapidly. but still a nice quote. there is this historic method of a

mr. webb's term was no. holmes went to "time" magazine and leaked the story that webb was not supporting kennedy's goal, andwas an obstacle rather than a facilitator of the apollo objective. kennedy being kennedy said let's hear what this is all about. he called a meeting, kennedy installed a secret taping system in the cabinet room and in the oval office after the bay of pigs, and there's a fascinating discussion, long one, and here are a couple minutes of it of kennedy being very clear on why we were going to the moon. >> [inaudible] [inaudible] of course you wouldn't put it on that priority. the second point is the fact of the system. that's why we doing it. [inaudible] >> you talk about this and between -- >> everything that we do or tied in to getting to the moon ahead of the russians. >> why can't -- >> later in the conversation, kennedy said i'm not that interested in space. that's taken out of context because he said he's not interested in spending a lot of money on space science rapidly, but still it's a nice quote. there is this historical myth that apollo was smooth sailing, that kennedy made his

forward to that ultimate display and the alternate space ship at the kennedy space center visitors' center. >> abc news, let me give this to mr. gerstenmaier. i'm stuck asking the question did you ever consider moving the launch of april 29th to the conflict with an event that's not happening in this country that's not happening overseas? >> the frank answer is no. i didn't realize when the wedding was until we moved the launch date and we moved to be essentially because we need it to the conflict with the progress, and we wanted to pick a date that gave us a reasonable number of attempted before we ran into any other conflict and that is how we sat on the 29, a kind of set the date independently you know, we worked the constraints and we were launched constraints and put on the manifest charts wedding constraints, so we didn't factor that into our thinking. >> if i recall correctly, you had a remote power control issue on the trust i think at the end of last week or the beginning of this week and i just wonder if that has any ramifications at all for plugging in the ams? >> it is some of the rotary joint activities and mgm,

[applause] >> it is a pleasure to be here with what is likely the most energy-informed audience in washington, or i think it is fair to say, the most energy-informed audience anywhere. i would like to begin with what might seem like the obvious. i want to do that because i think it establishes right up front what has to be the starting point of any conversation about energy, whether you are in the u.s. or anywhere else. the statement i'll start with is simply this one. there are things we know and things we don't. and what we know and what we don't and the decisions we make as a result have global impacts. we know for example the demand for energy and the number of people expressing that demand will continue to grow. we don't know

mr. powell is that he made a statement concerning this is the biggest shift in the space program since the kennedysd it must be a shift backwards because where we're going is nowhere and it's a shame. host: do you have something to add? caller: i was waiting for his comments. host: thanks for calling. guest: we have to distinguish between a destination, which is what we're used to, going to the moon, a goal set by kennedy, a goal we met in 1969 and finished completing in 1972. we have to distinguish between the broader areas now, deeper space exploration, better understanding of the universe. they're softer goals than landing at a destination, and i think it's an adjustment for many of us who came up with the space program and saw what happened as a result of it. my daughter, for example, you know, she's not going to see the kind of gee whiz television coverage of the astronauts landing on the moon that we saw, but she may benefit from the effects of the kind of exploration and scientific developments that are taking place at the space station and hopefully at the next generation of space explorati

mr. secretary, your observations in this realm are, as you note, sadly not new. you could well have cited sources even before your era. preeminent cold war historian lewis gaddis said of the kennedy administration, kennedy's strategy broke down because it did nothing to prevent the subordination of strategic interests to those of the organization's implementing the strategy. large bureaucracies all too often develop their own institutional momentum, making them impervious either to instructions from above or to feedback from below. legendary scholar huntington said they are supposed to resist innovation. and that same era, dean atchison, writing more of the truman period, quotes towns and hoops, the historian, our difficulty is that a nation of short-term practicing matists, accustomed to dealing with the future only if it becomes the present, we find it hard to regard future trends as serious realities, yet failure to achieve this new habit of mind is likely to prove bad. and kissinger wrote, most foreign policies that history has marked highly in whatever country have been originated by leaders who are opposed by the experts. i hope you have a chance to comment, mr. secretary,

mr. chairman, we're all for deficit reduction. we all believe this is an important endeavor for our country. and at john f. kennedy high school, one lesson drilled into us is the lesson to whom much is given, much is required. and this budget fails to acknowledge the fact, as has been mentioned here a couple of times, the top 1% 30 years ago accounted for 9% of real income of the country, today it accounts for 25% of real income and we put forth a budget that does nothing but ask the poor and the middle class to make the sacrifices to balance this budget. we all know we have a debt problem, but there is a way to get there. and to do it on the backs of the medicaid recipients and those people in early childhood care, these things are going to go to our ability to compete globally. the chairman said earlier he wants a limited but effective government. well, we have programs that are effective. early childhood care, high scope educational foundation, published a 40-year-long report that demonstrat that for each dollar we spend on high-quality early childhood education $17 was returned to society. the rand corporation
