she thought she was ready to go to wellesley and probably was.he story is that the archbishop of boston encountered her father the mayor of boston and said this wouldn't be a very good idea politically for you, the irish catholic mayor of boston to send your daughter and her eldest child to a non-catholic institution. so that thwarted her plan and she addressed doris kearns goodwin that was one of the saddest days of her life and she regretted for the rest of her life. [inaudible] >> guest: i point out that the picture on the front of the book head first i was a bit distracted by the water that seems to be in the forefront and i decided this was the perfect metaphor for rose kennedy. if you will notice it's exactly half full with water. that was how grows -- rose feud life. she was the eternal optimist and it doesn't mean in private she didn't have sad moments but generally speaking she tried to be optimistic in her perch life and try to have her children do that as well. in addition not be able to go to wellesley, her father to add insult to inj

on monday beaches in wellesley were closed for an hour after people spotted another shark 30 yards outand last july, a swimmer was bitten by one just up the coast. >> i'm not going in the water, i'll tell you that. >> reporter: everyone talks about the sharks and how they make it unsafe to get into the water, unsafe for swimmers. but if you ask the fishermen, the sharks are not the problem. >> the problem is too many seals. >> reporter: bill has been fishing here since the '70s. like more than 400 other fishing families on the cape, he would only see an occasional seal, now thes 16,000 by a rough estimate in the marine fishery's service. he says they're depleting an already strained fishery and threatening his livelihood. >> the uncontrolled explosion in the population over the last j1l decade, they're eating the fish. they're eating fish at rates greater than we're even able to catch them. >> reporter: they want the government to take another look at the marine mammal protection act, which they say has worked too well. their idea, to thin the population. a tough sell. but given the ch

hillary clinton was the star of her graduating class at wellesley. no doubt about it from the beginning before she met this guy named bill from arkansas she had her eye on the prize. this is something that comes with the territory. usually the guys but here we have a woman. by the way, i think the woman's movement behind hillary is bigger than her. i think the reason she will run and maybe win is the power of women my age who want her to be president. it's an overwhelming power base that has little or nothing to do with the tactics of her race. your thoughts? >> i think there's definitely that. you also look at the other reasons she's been in the news and her campaign in the news. one of them in new york is anthony weiner and the fact that somebody on her staff, huma abedin, her husband and gets asked about her job might be on the campaign. there are slightly random factors that made it sort of a complicated question for women as well as because it brings up the whole question of the clinton marriage and the choices that she's made. so there's that,

i just want to pay tribute to the four little girls addy mae collins, cynthia wellesley, carol robertson on september 15th, 1963, after the 16th street baptist church was bombed, 1963. i also want to bring in the reverend jesse jackson, tell me if you know this quote. nothing in any country -- this person is talking about turmoil across the world -- nothing in any country touches us more profoundly and more -- than the revolution of the negro american. that sounds a lot like what we heard here. what was that? am i right? >> lyndon baines johnson. we heard great inspiration and analysis, frankly from the president, then president obama took us too another level, but today from looking in the rear-view mirror, our challenge today is out the windshield. the appropriation legislation, and civil rights enforcement. we're inspired now, but we're still unemployed, and there's no plan to employ them. they're still there. so 9 challenge to in fact end the laws revive revive the war on poverty, these require investment. i hope our government will respond to the dream speech in that way. >> i want

i remember the church bells ringing in my hometown of wellesley. jubilation that that divisive and frustrating and terrible war was coming to a close, at least for the united states. and i had seen, as did many of you, how our young men who served bravely and honorably were not always welcomed back to our towns with the dignity and honor that was certainly their due. vietnam, as a lot you have will remember, ripped the threads of our country, the threads that connect 50 states together, that connect our families together and our generations. and even with my admittedly limited teenaged perspective -- i didn't know much when i was 17 years old -- i could grasp, as most people could, the incongress youthy that a superpower like ours had become involved in a civil war halfway around the world with a poorer nation that did not represent a true strategic threat to us. now, that's admittedly how it appears now today with the advantage of 20/20 hindsight and the passage of 40 years since that cease-fire in 1973. but vietnam burst my interests in diplomacy
