walter was the most curious person i have ever met.wanted to know how everything worked, if there was a car wreck outside this bureau right now, walter would want to run out and see what happened. it would be like the first car wreck he ever saw. so that does not surprise me, but, you know, walter could get presidents on the telephone. it is not that way anymore. michael, you and nancy, you deal with this every day, we will talk about your book in a minute. >> it has been a long time since i ever got a president or even imagined to. it is much more staged now than it was in those days much more controlled their relationships between the white house and any president, any party, and the reporters, even the anchor men who cover them. >> schieffer: yes. and robert, do you find that surprising, the kind of relationships that the press wants, once enjoyed with our presidency? >> it is not that way anymore. for one thing there are so many more reporters, there are no deadlines anymore. it seems to me that the wall between the press and elect

any director would tell that you walter -- what walter did with the glasses, the fidgeting was a fineman emotion and air of spontaneity. the proof is in the pudding. walter's glasses are constantly replayed everybody knows it. i need a pair of glasses. >> i will take notes from that. work on my timing here. >> you know what's interesting, too, i think in some ways if you look at walter cronkite and his sort of royal position and the media landscape at that time, we don't have that any more. when he went to vietnam and came back and said listen. you know. this is my opinion, but it doesn't look like we're being told the truth and doesn't look like it's going well. he did it in a mild mannered way. but it was devastating to johnson, president johnson and people supporting the war. since then i don't know if there is anybody in the media world who would have the credibility or more importantly the standing to make any such statement that would have that type of impact on a public matter. that was kind of -- >> nobody since cronkite. on the kennedy -- both on vietnam and kennedy. on the k

morley safer said to him, walter, they're lying to you in '65. walter befriended morley.eat frepsd. but by '68 ted offensive, cronkite went and talked to vietnamese people and homeless people and soldiers on the ground and recognized that not only was the war probably immor immoral, but johnson was lying to him. he famously went on tv, cbs news at night, not during his half hour broadcast it was called stalemate and the ripple effect was gigantic. lbj said to his press secretary, if i lost cronkite, i lost middle america. my policies were now not going to be effective. >> who was the walter cronkite you introduced us to that millions of americans did not see on television? >> well, first up, he was obsessed with news reporting. since a kid he was a paper boy in kansas city. he loved the wire service. one of his great skills, he was like a jaguar leaping to grab those wire reports. yu had to elbow walter to grab it. he wanted the first crack at all of those because you break news when you're doing that, but the real man, he was everything everybody thinks he was, debunk yo

they you, walter. [applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] >> i wanted to ask a question and bring the evening to close. it seems to me that one of the most significant developments over the past century really has been the institutionalization of politics of the right that gained a tremendous support by way of the civil rights movement. to the degree that the civil rights movement was successful in the 1950s and 60s. to get these significant shifts in the rights movement in this country, for most of the 20th century, with the exception of, say, the 1920s and maybe woodrow wilson's presidency, the country was increasingly moving to the left to it ended with the linden -- lyndon johnson demonstration. here's a man that is not only black. he is painted red and pink and is gay. he carries the tremendous burden of representing a kind of politics and personal a comment related to social justice that cost people their lives. together we in the south, particularly the height of the mccarthy era. something

walter was so impressed being with the great edward r.the united press, so bad blood with murrow. and murrow didn't believe in the live coverage that cronkite did. murrow thought cameras became infomercials, which they have. walter cronkite mastered how to do the political convention. as murrow's ship was going down, meaning he was a radio guy in the age of television by 1960, cronkite's ascendency was up. walter made a big splash by covering our first olympims on tv. he did squaw valley in 1960 and rome. and that was the first time we had olympic coverage brought to us in our homes. >> he didn't die until three years ago. he was 92 years old, so he saw, boy, an evolution in news. what did he think of the news business today? with not just network news but cable news and what's happenins? >> the key question, he quit in 1981 at the top of his game. highest ratings and he was 64. back then you kind of retired at 65. he immediately got angry at himself for having quit. ended up turning on dan rather at cbs. could not stand rather. and tried

i'm elizabeth town college or send them to walter nagle. i shouldn't speak for walter. i'm sure both of us would be more than willing to receive the letters. i hope that answers part of your question. >> it does. one little bit after that. in terms of martin luther king was assassinated and it was the relationship with the garbage strike and the moves of the economic justice, which i know you said a thing about we get stuck in places. but i think there's a whole corporate media that wants us to be stuck in a place. they highlight what we pay attention to. it is important pay attention to the other features. as a kind of followup what's asked earlier in terms of your reading, was there any communication in terms of a economic distribution in the conversations between bayard and martin luther king? >> great question. early on, very early on, bayard is encouraging dr. king to see linkages between economic justice and racism. he's doing in in the 1950s. he's also encouraging king very early on before anybody else does so, to form alliances with the labor. .. >> he led a mem

they meet with walter wright and leaders for the urban league. to discuss this the same day that the pac is announced. that means at the same time he's learning that germany, japan and russia all have signed a pack against us. and when randolph and company come, they come in a meeting eleanor has facilitatfacilitate. they have a list of seven demands. of the demands, four are met. the steps that fdr does take, i think are not just incremental, but are a slap in the face. he has rave reviews. the republicans have posed to be a bipartisan cabinet. and they are opposed to any activity that will advance negros through the reigns. simpson says leadership is not embedded in the negro race. he's secretary of war. the secretary of the navy says he will revine if this happens. he brings the dean of the law school to be simpson's aide. he appoints a colnel to advise the selective service. and he gives simpson, the first african-american general to, in fact, ride on them. the big obstacle is george marshall. and fdr doesn't push hard. but marshall is the on

phillip randolph and walter white and leaders from the urban league to discuss this, it's the impact same day that the tripact is announced. germany, russia, and japan have signed a pact to come against us. when randolph and company come, they come in a meeting eleanor has facilitated and have a list of seven demands. of those demands, four are met. full enat the grags of the service is not met, obviously. because that's left for truman to do. but the steps that fdr does take i think are not just in yes mental, but a slap in the face. he has gotten rave reviews for changing his cabinet and bringing in a new secretary of war and a new secretary of the navy. republicans, a bipartisan cabinet and absolutely adamantly opposed to any activity that will advance negros through the rank s simson says leadership i not embedded in the negro race. he's secretary of the war. the secretary of the navy cox -- i mean knox, says he will resign if, in fact this happens. so what does fdr do? he brings the dean of the howard law school in to be stemson's aide. he reports an african-american colonel to

the plane, carrying walter vincent and six other men. >> it brought tears to my eyes when i saw it comet got me wondering whether or not those bodies were still out there. >> reporter: the wreckage had been found weeks after the crash on the island of vanuatu but the crews' families were mistakenly told the plane had been lost at sea. wernick discovered the error and began a search for families of the lost men that led them to craig anderson and his wife kim. >> i can remember vividly thinking if we do... if this is that plane, if i have found this plane, i'm just going to have to go see it. >> reporter: and you left? >> >> i laughed when he first told me that, too. >> reporter: in 2007 they flew to vanuatu, recruited native guides and hacked through underbrush up the mountain. >> all of a sudden about ten feet in front of my face i saw this propeller. i looked down and i was standing on debris. it was thrilling. >> reporter: among wheels and gears, military forensic teams eventually found bones from all seven of the air crew. after d.n.a. identification, the remains finally were releas

the second population that we looked at we got with the help at walter reed, both of the old walter reedhe bethesda campus is and he was in charge of the prosthetic program i believe. and they provided their data set of combat injured veterans from the recent war who had major amputations. at that time we got the data there were 1506 major imputations of that number 180 were not dramatic work related to some of the feature. city of the individuals were dead which left us with 1288 individuals with combat related major amputations. of that number, about 450 remained on active duty some of whom were employed in some of whom it appears to us were severely medically ill and the dod seem to be keeping them to make sure that they were in better position when discharged. that left us with about 848 again traumatic major imputations that the extremities we tried to assess carried to take that number and slash 150 medical centers, and we did what addresses for these folks and find out that the their everywhere in the united states. there is a simple problem of having ten or less on average withou

. >> i think the problem with with walter cronkite, people see him only as the evuncular friendly man. but there was another side of him that wanted to be the best, he was obsessed with the ratings. he's probably the fiercest competitor i've ever written about. and i've written about presidents and generals. cronkite's desire to be the best was very pronounced. >> best selling author douglas brinkley on his new biography of long time cbs news averager walter cronkite, sunday on c-span. >>> next, a conference on the presidency and civil rights hosted by the john f. ken dpi presidential library and museum. this panel looks at the intern of japanese americans in world war ii. the desegregation of the armed forces. this is an hour and 20 minutes. >> good afternoon, i'm david ferio. it's a pleasure to welcome you this afternoon. this conference is on the presidency and civil rights. as you know the national archive is is charged with preserving archives to the most important documents, the records we safeguard are part of the backbone, important pieces of the story of the american journey.

she also works with walter white to schedule the concert at 4:00 in the afternoon, so churches around the country, african-american churches in particular, on easter sunday, can have picnics. and she suggests to walter white that perhaps they can make arrangements for those collections that are kept to be donated to the naacp, and the collections that are are raised that day are the second largest donation in the history of the naacp, only surpassed by duke ellington's national concert tour when he gave the proceeds of that to the naacp. she also had -- before the -- the debacle that was -- the insult to marianne anderson, eleanor invited her to the white house, she had stayed in the white house. eleanor had talked about her voice in the column and said singing, hearing marianne anderson singing is like sitting in the lap of god. and after the concert, eleanor went july 4, 1939, to richmond, the capital of the confederacy, where she gives marianne anderson the spring arm medal and gives a speech on -- in nonconfrontational terms about the horror that unequal education inflicts on the

i mentioned that to walter. i said, walter, have you thought about switching over headline news?he last thing i did at cnn. he said, no, that's a great idea. within seconds, they switched over to the live coverage of the world trade center. and a few minutes later, the buildings collapsed. you know, it was like pearl harbor, only being televised. >> what do you think it did to the american people in the aftermath? do you think the american people rallied in the right way to what happened? >> well, the american people did all they could. there's not really much you can do when something like that happens except try and make sure that it doesn't happen again as best you can. and i think the best way to avoid violence is to treat everybody with respect, dignity, and friendliness. because if -- your friends don't bomb you, it's only enemies. why have we made so many enemies? particularly when we have the large amounts of money that we donate to charity. why don't we have more friends and less enemies? we do have more friends than enemies, but we have too many enemies. and i'd work on

i received it from the va, for brooke army medical center, walter reid and the air.reference to my peer mentoring and peer visiting amputees at walter reid over the years, i have gotten to know the current warriors and their families, their concerns. in short, i think i understand the catastrophic injuries they have overcome through military rehabilitation. i understand being at their bedside and also in that hospital bed myself. as of may 1st, there is 1459 amputees -- i'm sorry, warriors of amputations i should say. but care for those warriors is at the very core of the va's mission. it is clear that the prosthetics today is at a crossroads. dh and he has a chance to regain his leadership role that she referred to in the excellence in this field of prosthetics provision in amputee care. but the current direction in recent decisions involving prosthetic care suggest that the veterans health administration, vha is about to further compromise the stability to serve these veterans. in 2004, eight years ago, secretary principi testified before the committee to va and hi

sgt walter e. larsen was in that same position when he scrambled on to a mound of earth to draw the attention of the machine guns and other members of his platoon could flee to safety. a real test is when you are flying a medevac helicopter in thick jungle fog in close range enemy fire trying to rescue fellow soldiers. in january of 1968, major genel patrick bdy flew in these conditions and despite the 400 blow holes found in helicopters flew that day, he was able to rescue more than 50 men. a real test is when infantry commander closes the landings and to any further operations because of the intensity of heavy fire, but you know american forces are in despera need of ammunition and aid. and these circumstances, colonel bruce crandall made flights delivering ammunition and evacuating wounded men. a real test is when despite not having slept for 36 hours you and your men are loaded into a landing craft, said down river to join and tense battle. colonel j. vargas, in this situation, managed to carry

i want to go like walter for reuniting the mission.uld the 90% have to pay to unify a group that small? i do not think so. the difference in character between mr. 9 in district 6 is remarkable -- between districts 9 and district 6 is remarkable. have we seen nonprofits stopping displacement? no. we are seeing a bunch of new residential development projects. the nonprofits have been awol. it has been a neighborhood-based operation. the eastern neighborhoods and nonprofits lost it and say they want to be part of the neighborhood. they blew it. we're seeing displacement more than before the plan. you are more likely to lose -- the population was in eviscerated. i do not think there is a connection. the issues of north mission are in sync with the mission proper. my neighborhoods are centered around a marshall school. d9 is a progressive district. i have a problem thinking there will be any sort of disenfranchisement of anyone in our community in the north mission is included in district 9. invoking walter again without my singing, "love w
