host: coming up, elizabeth williamson who has written about sandy hook. we will also be taking your calls during that segment. it was 10 years ago that book tv was out on the mall with the national book festival and david and julie nixon-eisenhower were talking about his grandfather, dwight eisenhower. here is a portion. [video clip] >> a lot has been written about your parents' relationship with the eisenhowers. how would you describe it? >> one of the things i enjoyed doing when i was working on eisenhower's retirement years was to look at that relationship and think about it more. i am amazed eisenhower and nixon got along as well as they did. when you think about it, you have two presidents rumbling around together. a president is someone who is very driven. he has an agenda. he has a vision. he knows where he is going. you have dwight eisenhower and nixon, at 39, is already showing signs he is on his way. the fact they got along so well, as well as they did i would say, i think is a testament to several things. first of all, eisenhower should be prai
