when i found out there was something called newsweek, i said that sounds great. it's the adult version of the weekly reader. when i started digging through it, i remember being fascinated about what was happening outside of iowa and around the world, again realizing that i should be paying attention. >> did you continue that through high school and college and after? >> i did. i loved reading what was going on. i was a kid getting up in the morning, getting ready for school -- most kids watched cartoons and i had good morning america on. it was great. >> you went on to be a page in the u.s. house and the state legislature. what did you do after college? i ended upllege, working for the community foundation of greater dubuque. i worked mostly in the affiliates, six rural counties around the city, worked with folks in small towns, being able to invest in their small town, whether it was a baseball diamond or a small movie theater, making sure folks were able to get back into their in a way that was meaningful. >> you were also in the state legislature. rep. finkena

than ben bradley who will become the top dog at "the washington post," but then he was working at "newsweeknformation with his opponents. they shared fbi files with ben bradley. ben bradley never reported any of that. if you look at lyndon johnson, they did the same thing. candidly put taps on martin luther king's phones. they learned all about martin luther king's life. they are concerned with any opponents with any party. he also had access to fbi files. linda johnson tapped the phones. he wanted to know what he was saying about the vietnam war. he knew what goldwater was planning, so they knew what was going on there, too. i will tell you what's interesting about all this. the media did not give a. these are the practices of democrat administrations, and, they supported the great society and were in love with camelot. but nixon, they hated. so one of the impeachment charges had to do with using the irs. , "the washington post," the same "washington post," the same ben bradley who had access the internal revenue information and fbi files as a result of kenned kennedy, they went after him.

newsweek magazine was appalled and condemned the attacks on the protesters and said they seemed more appropriate to saigon in south korea in war times than in washington, d.c. president nixon was unperturbed. a few days later he told his aid -- this is a nixon quote that can be read. it says one day we will get them. we will get them on the ground where we want them. we will stick our heels in, step on them hard and twist. right? that is our president. somewhere between 1967 and 1971, the war we were fighting ceased to be a war between the united dates in vietnam and became a vicious battle among americans. president nixon finally achieved a settlement in vietnam in january, 1973. you see how long this is dragging out. it is into his second term. american bombing ended, as did the draft. since then we have had an all volunteer draft since 1973. in november, 1973, congress passed something called the war powers act. this spelled out the procedures to be followed when the introduction of american forces could lead to involvement in combat. this was passed over president nixon's veto. t
