lyndon johnson, except he wasn't really sure he would form -- for mcgovern either. so the day comes when mcgovern and tom eagleton go to the ranch just before they realize eagleton might not be the best vice presidential candidate. bill clinton, the co-chairman of texans for mcgovern and his coach tailor branch who would eventually be clinton's diarist, sort of, had to flip a coin about which one accompanies them to the ranch to meet johnson. clinton loses the coin toss, so taylor brings back from the meeting -- which did not go well, by the way -- a signed picture for clinton of lbj. so that's as close as clinton got to meeting lbj. [laughter] but what's great about the american presidency is we all remember when or if we saw, even if it's a motorcade going by, so ronald reagan remembers that he saw fdr on the back of a train somewhere in iowa. i think it was des moines. i'm pulling that, but i wouldn't count at it. and he was at a truman event as i mentioned before, so everyone has their creation stories, but clinton never met lbj. he told us he thought as all presidents do, history will be kinder to h

tom. this is the scene of two deadly shootings that took place right near the iconic and famous empire state building yesterday. the first, police say, is when lone suspected gunman jeffrey johnson returned to an apparel business that he was laid off from, from nearly more than a year ago, to confront and kill a former co-worker of his. nypd released surveillance video last night of what happens next, showing johnson walking up a busy fifth avenue when he is confronted by officers, he pulls out a gun and officers open fire. that set off chaotic moments in an area packed with tourists and pedestrians. in all, nine bystanders, innocent bystanders, were grazed and sustained minor gun wounds, and some of them by police bullets themselves. investigators now will be looking into what possibly caused johnson to turn violent. one of the things they're looking at is his background as well as the ongoing feud he had with his former co-worker. >> michelle franzen live from midtown manhattan. michelle, thank you. >>> four months before the shooting rampage at a colorado movie theater, the accused shooter allegedly told a classmate he wanted to kill people. prosecutors made that allegation f

[laughter] i know crs got more than they need, but in it, i -- in it i -- we have a revised preface. they allowed us liberties to talk about changes since the 2009 version which have been considerable, and what i want to do is start off by reading the last paragraph of my portion of the new preface to give you a sense of the trends and processes put in place in both houses over the last three years, but it's definitely a follow on from what we write about through our coexpensive 40-year periods. bill was clerk of the hous
