robert kennedy has a full investigation, and more importantly, robert kennedy, who wants johnson off the 64 ticket leaked this information to "time," and "life" magazine has reporters on the ground, a hit team, digging into johnson's background for a december 1st expose issue. an issue that will bring lyndon johnson, federal prosecution, and prison. it's not just being dumped from the 64 ticket; although, president kennedy tells his secretary according to the memoirs, on the eve of leaving for dallas, he says, johnson will be off the 64 ticket, quote, i don't know who it will be, but it will not be lynn don and goes on to say he's considering north carolina governor sanford, a mod rail, a southern racial moderate. there inlies the motives. finding co-plotters is not difficult. lyndon johnson is the appropriator for the cia. lyndon johnson sits on the secret subcommittee that passes a black box budget which are hidden in our aerospace budgets. the cia cannot function without the hundreds of millions of dollars being delivered by the appropriator of the military industrial complex. joh

you heard robert bruman put atlanta under the pack. should it operate normally on most days or when it's under stress? >> i think there is a distinction, two different arguments going on here. should there be giant grade separated freeways in the middle of cities, do they help cities function better? the answer to that is no. if they had to spend their own money, cities wouldn't build them in the first place. it comes from outside, from the state and federal government and so they build it. and when they need it the most, it fails. so what you have is a malfunction of the system. and it gets heightened by the fact that atlanta's a warm weather state for the most part so they're not used to dealing with snow. i really -- you know, i think it would be about for atlanta to have more transit. i don't think that atlanta needs to try to be manhattan. i think it's okay if somebody wants to live in a single family house 20 miles away from town or whatever. the question is: what do you want to pay for? and in the united states, all this money h

robert dahl , i want to start with you to set the scene. what drove lbj to undertake a war on poverty it. >> well, he wasn't the first one to want a war on poverty. in fact, what i find so interesting is herbert hoover in august 1928 said no country in the world was closer to abolishing poverty than the united states. and then of course we had the great depression. in 196 -- 1962 a man named michael harrington whos with a socialist, part of the democratic catholic workers movement published a book called the other america, poverty in the united states. it has had a great impact. >> well, what really gave it a great impact was the fact that dwight mcdonald, the critic, then published a discussion of it in "the new yorker" called a reviseable poor. and that created this sense that america has a problem. and john kennedy when he was in west virginia for the prime area in his-- primary in his struggle to win the nomination for presidency, he got a firsthand glimpse of the suffering, the difficulties that people had in that state. and in 1963 he
