[laughter]. >> robert: well, now it's a very rich town. it may be seedy in terms of what happened -- >> evan: rich and seedy as opposed to not rich and seedy. >> robert: that's right. it was poor and seedy in those days. i mean, i would go into restaurants on pennsylvania avenue and there were cockroaches on the walls. but it was also a town where more public servants, i think genuinely wanted to work for the public. there was less money, there were fewer lobbyists. and i have seen, over the course of my life, a fundamental change. washington is now an emerald city in terms of the number of lobbyists and the amount of money that -- and it's true of state capitals as well. >> evan: you talked about the distraction that's keeping us on focusing on the real problem. you wrote a column that was posted on your website and it wid

extraordinary experience because you met your future husband through somebody who everybody knows: robert f. kennedy. and at that point, you decided that you really liked this man who was a white jewish man. >> well, i just liked this man. you know, people don't marry colors or religions, they marry individuals. i had an image. this came up during the 1967 period when the head start program and the poverty program was under attack in mississippi, the state had turned it down, and i had been summoned to testify in washington. but then i told them to come down and see for themselves, because it's one thing to have somebody like me coming up to talk about the poor. it's another thing to go down and to actually see the poor. and i was supposed to testify on head start because senators stennis and eastland, very powerful senators, had threatened to hold up the entire poverty program's appropriations if they didn't defund this community race program where parents and children were having the time of their lives. but then, for whatever reason, peter came down to... my husband now, came down to advance this

with a look at the life of robert f. kennedy. that all happened tonight on c-span2 book tv. joining us on booktv is mandy at university press. what are some of the books you have coming out? >> i would say the top two are trapped and broadened and hopeless but optimistic. the first is iranian born but currently lives in ireland, and her story is a memoir about her desperate journey to freedom. she was married in ireland and she had a daughter and got divorced and met a man that she had known as a teenager. she started to date him and ended up being a little bit crazy. she got pregnant and then moved back to ireland because she wanted her daughter to be born an irish citizen. what happened from there when her daughter was about 15 months old she thought she wanted to introduce her to her father. she heard that he had been married and he was no longer obsessed with her. what happened is when she got back, he held her and her daughter hostage the next five years. he had heard accused of adultery which is punishable by stoning and also when her daughter was to turn 7-years-old,

notion nobody gets off of played well last person does it is a thin young congressional man named robert f. kennedy. he finds that a reporter he gets a ride with him. at the funeral it in the church a bobby kennedy watches from the choir loft. at the graveside service all the dignitaries are over here and bobby kennedy is over here. what he managed to do after the service in a way he could never get away with he got all the reporters that there was a young guy bobby kennedy and because he was a kennedy what that melendez, does that he was a loyal friend of joe mccarthy with not just his dad's friend the in the era when much thought communism was a huge threat so did bobby kennedy you that there is only one person so while jack kennedy said from the funeral he did what he often does he ignore that so that was bobby kennedy the loyalist in you could say there was something noble the other half back then was bobby kennedy who do some day he may run for office himself. to make sure nobody would see him. so the two sides the realist side in that is to america was back then. they start out as the cold wa

notion that nobody's going to get off the plane one less person does and it was a thin aide named robert f kennedy so he bumped a ride for a reporter he finds there who is covering of funeral for the wisconsin newspaper. at the funeral in the church bobby kennedy watches from in the choir loft, at the graveside service all the dignitaries are over here, bobby kennedy is quietly over here. what he managed to do after the service was, in a way that you can never get away with doing today, but anybody could ask a reporter and generally be obliged back then, he got got all the reporters there covering the funeral to leave out of their story that there is a young guy, bobby kennedy was there. because they're obliging political reporters there because he was a kennedy he generally got his way. what that story does, with that moment does at the funeral to me, it says two things about who bobby kennedy was back then. one thing it says is that he was the loyal friend of joe mccarthy who understood not just joe mccarthy was his dad's friend, but the but the joe mccarthy gave him his first job. in an era whe

somewhere -- i do not know what the truth is behind this -- but just moments before senator robert f. kennedy was assassinated in 1968 after winning the california primary, senator mcgovern was actually participating in a phone conversation with senator kennedy. i wondered if it has been revealed what the conversation was about and if you know anything about that phone conversation? host: jules witcover? mr. witcover: i have never heard that. i was in the hotel kitchen at the time robert kennedy was assassinated. i spent a great deal of time since then exploring all of the details of the time leading up to robert kennedy's death. i have never run across that story. -- i never came across that story. but i do know that in his hotel calls to ad make number of people to look over to what he expected to be the next phase of the campaign, which was to go to new york to campaign for delegates there. he did talk to many people. he may well have talked to senator mcgovern as well. because, if i'm not mistaken, it was also a primary in south dakota the same night. i have not heard he actually talked t

at the look of the life of robert f kennedy. it all happens next on c-span2 book tv. first up, here is josh king talking about "off script". >> mitchell schwartz, andrew frank and steve barr, they learned the craft on the campaign in 1984 and served as my role models. they were the answer in the summer of 1988 and they taught me well. schwartz was the lead advance man brimming with self confidence and quick humor. >> was that self-serving enough, by the way? i had to read that. many claim he was dismembered but he had four pages and was known as a great teacher. just be clear on that. josh is a good buddy and a good friend and a lot of people here worked with him and worked with me and we all worked on democratic politics. it's nice seeing everyone. josh has written a really interesting book that obviously most of you have bought and he said he would sign everybody's. the tv has really changed politics dramatically and there is just a quick couple examples of that. in 1960 the famous debate of nixon versus kennedy, a lot a lot of people said when they heard it on radi

f. kennedy and senator robert f. kennedy also say that donald trump was wrong. they write in today's "washington post" "it is still the words delivered extemporaneously off the cuff, in the raw pressure of the moment that matter most. they say most directly what is in a candidate's heart. so it was a sense of sadness and revulsion we listened to donald trump. political violence is a terrible inherent risk to any free society. it is not to be encouraged. it is not funny. it is not a joke." >> a group of doctors in syria is pleading to president obama for help. almost 30 doctors in a rebel-held district of aleppo signed an open letter received by the white house. they warn if attacks on medical facilities continue at their present rate they could all be destroyed in a month. cbs news received these photos from a group of american doctors who say they escaped recent bombing in aleppo. syria's capital damascus. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the warnings are dire. over 2 million people in aleppo are in danger of running out of food, fuel, medical supplies

despite all the discontent into the assassination of robert f. kennedy dashed in the 1970s in part because of the vietnam and the resignation ofor richard nixon. >> this was one of the real revelations come a so that the distinction between the 60s and 70s and how american society was as a whole. i sort of thought that the 60s chilled out in the 70s.'7 now it is certainly true that there was terrible trouble inri the 60s. there were assassinations, riots after martin luthe martin luthes assassination. the la riots in 1965 but it's true in the 60s there was this tremendous sense that the reason people were so agitated. what happened in the 70s you had the summer of love in 1967 in san francisco. it's by a significant degree of idealism. by the 70s it had all her old. that took oui took out a large e middle class. there were no longer at risk and went about their lives and the people that remained were the really hard-core and i they were angry and violent. i kept coming back to the statistic that to me is astonishing in the mid-1970s there were a thousand

f. kennedy and robert kennedy. the kennedys become involved in conversations with george wallace, beginning really in april 1963. they're very concerned about what is going to happen with the integration of schools in alabama, because they're trying to prevent what happened earlier in mississippi from happening again. so they're really trying to avoid another powder keg and another mob scene happening at a southern university. they know there are students applying to the university of alabama, challenges that are happening in alabama. and they have already seen from conditions decaying in birmingham in the spring of 1963 that there is the potential for violence if integration of the schools doesn't go successfully. what we see here are a selection of telegrams that were exchanged between kennedy and wallace and also between others who are interested in what was happening in birmingham in april and may 1963. so the conversation between kennedy and wallace is often contentious, and wallace is really looking for a way
