    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES/JACQUELINE KENNEDY May 09, 2014 9:56 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JACQUELINE KENNEDY: And I think every first lady should do something in this position to help the things she cares about. I just think that everything in the White House should be the best -- the entertainment that's given here. The art of children is the same the world over. And so, of course, is our feeling for children. I think it is good in a world where there's quite enough to divide people, that we should cherish the language and emotion that unite us all. (END VIDEO CLIP) SUSAN SWAIN: Jacqueline Kennedy's 1,000 days as first lady were defined by images -- political spouse, young mother, fashion icon, advocate for the arts. As television came of age, it was ultimately the tragic images of President Kennedy's assassination and funeral that cemented Jacqueline Kennedy in the public consciousness. Good evening and welcome to C-SPAN's series "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, we'll tell you the story of the wife of the 35th president of the United States, named Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. And we have two guests at the table for the next two hours to tell you more about her life story. Michael Beschloss, presidential historian, author of many books on the presidency, and has a special focus over the years on the Cold War era and the Kennedy administration. Thanks for being here. MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Pleasure. SWAIN: Barbara Perry is a UVA political scientist and as part of the "Modern First Ladies" series at the University of Kansas has written a Jacqueline Kennedy biography.

  • Krogh & the Watergate Scandal
    Krogh & the Watergate Scandal Egil “Bud” Krogh was a young lawyer who worked for the Nixon administration in the late 1960s and early 1970s as deputy assistant to the president. Military analyst Daniel Ellsberg leaked the “Pentagon Papers,” which contained sensitive information regarding the United States’ progress in the Vietnam War. President Nixon himself tasked Krogh with stopping leaks of top-secret information. And Nixon’s Assistant for Domestic Affairs, John Ehrlichman, instructed Krogh to investigate and discredit Ellsberg, telling Krogh that the leak was damaging to national security. Krogh and another staffer assembled a covert team that became known as the “plumbers” (to stop leaks), which was broadly supervised by Ehrlichman. In September 1971, the plumbers’ first break-in was at the office of Ellsberg’s psychiatrist; they were looking for documents that would discredit Ellsberg based on mental health. Reflecting on the meeting in which the break-in was proposed and approved, Krogh later wrote, “I listened intently. At no time did I or anyone else there question whether the operation was necessary, legal or moral. Convinced that we were responding legitimately to a national security crisis, we focused instead on the operational details: who would do what, when and where.” The break-in, which was illegal, was also unproductive. Nothing was found to discredit Ellsberg. Importantly, the ties between this break-in and Nixon were much more direct and easy to establish than the ties between Nixon and the Watergate break-in. Krogh later pled guilty to his role in the break-in and was sentenced to two-to-six years in prison.

    THE COUNCIL FOR EXCELLENCE IN GOVERNMENT Elliot Richardson Prize Event Acceptance Remarks Washington, D. C. March 8, 2004 Remarks By Sandra Day O’Connor Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States Building Bridges: The Rewarding Life of Public Service An old man, going a lone highway Came at the evening, cold and gray To a chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide— Why build you the bridge at the eventide?” The builder lifted his old gray head. “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.” By Will Allen Dromgoole The Bridge Builder Council for Excellence in Government — Page 2 If I may, I would like to take a few moments this afternoon to talk about building bridges. Building bridges through public service Of all of the reasons that I am honored to receive this touching recognition today, the greatest is that it puts me in the company of some truly remarkable individuals who dedicated their lives to building bridges for the future of our country.

  • Quotes About the Speech
    Quotes about the Speech When his campaign was in peril because of his ties to Rev. Wright, Barack Obama made that remarkable speech about race and his own journey, and his relationship with Wright in Philadelphia. That held his campaign together; a very key moment. ~George Stephanopoulos, ABC News [The] best speech ever given on race in this country. This is the kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see before they go out in the world. This should be, to me, an American tract. ~Chris Matthews, MSNBC Obama challenged Americans to confront the country’s racial divide…an extraordinary speech. ~Charles Gibson, ABC News Quietly, but clearly with great passion, he walked the listener through a remarkable exploration of race from both sides of the color divide, both sides of himself. ~ Campbell Brown, CNN [T]the best speech and most important speech on race that we have heard as a nation since Martin Luther King's ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. ~Michelle Bernard, MSNBC Barack Obama didn't simply touch the touchiest subject in America, he grabbed it and turned it over and examined it from several different angles and made it personal. Just steps from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, he rang the bell hard and well. ~Jonathan Alter, Newsweek In a speech whose frankness about race many historians said could be likened only to speeches by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, Senator Barack Obama, speaking across the street from where the Constitution was written, traced the country’s race problem back to not simply the country’s ‘original sin of slavery’ but the protections for it embedded in the Constitution.
