it's much more than john f. kennedy, in the midst of the world the profound courage and that david donnell. at that time johnson is considered a good president. yet for the american heritage, he wrote an essay called why impeach andrew johnson. throughout the details of the aptitude is destroyed any chance of bringing the nation together in a way that done justice to the defeated south and the african-americans. sure of rectitude johnson was in different to prudent. you never learned the president of the united states couldn't afford to be a corollary. in tennessee, orchards exchange personalities, crude humor and bitter denunciation and johnson decided to continue make white speech -- white house speeches. you can see why, for a little from this introduction, never learned that the president of the united states must function as the party leader. while making up his mind johnson appears highly receptive to ideas. we made a decision, his mind would close and he defended his course with all the obscenity of a wea

certainly, what we now know about john f. kennedy i do not think that have happened. john f. kennedy could have comported himself today as he had in the past. prof. hemmer: i am really struck by the president to hear on the tapes versus our image of them still today. you listen to lbj really miss those major political shifts of his era. he is somebody we think of as a political whiz. he just whiffs on both of these you played for us, to a certain extent. with jfk, not being able to navigate his way out of this war with the brightest men of his generation around him. i mean, do you think -- which do ler? the men ona the tape or the ones the public saw every day? nixon was really very self-conscious about crafting a public image that made sense and fit all the norms of his time. if you listen to richard nixon doing an interview that was going to be broadcast, everyone here is the best informed, most prepared, most statesmanlike person who could possibly fill this office. that person was a creation of the nixon you hear in private, who is the most brilliant political strategist

and john f. kennedy run the kennedy room. my thesis is that these were for trailed as part of the misrule. although political factors inevitably influence impeachment under the misdemeanor, only there's been a legal trance aggression. because many of you know the reschedules of senator with personal principle patriotism and bylaw over partisan politics. this one chapter on johnson's impeachment which as most of you know failed by conviction by one vote. these are the illustrations that kennedy has for this chapter. here's the ticket to the impeachment trial. last at most two months. here's the cartoon of the senate chambers. he was the can the senator who sacrificed the political career when previously undecided he delivered the decision. filling his sworn duty to follow the law of political pressure. to keep the presidency from becoming subservient to the legislative will. in doing so they perform what one historian called the most heroic act in american history more difficult than any deed upon the field. in fact it was so

john f. kennedy space center in florida to talk with the space center director about his experience on the first mission to land men on the moon. nasa tv hosted this event exactly 50 years after apollo 11 launched on july 16th, 1969. >> good morning, i'm out here at the pad, 39 a with command module pilot mike collins. mike it was 50 years ago this morning that you and neil and buzz headed out to launch to be the first humans to set foot on the surface of the moon. what thoughts were going through your mind on the way to the launch pad. >> you know, as i came out on the launch pad today. >> can you hold the mic up. >> yes. as i calm out today and settled into this comfortable chair, it was a wonderful feeling to be back at launch pad 39 a. but a difference this time. i want to turn and ask neil a question and maybe tell buzz aldrin something. and of course i'm here by myself. but at any rate, i know they would enjoy joining into this sort of a conversation as much as i'm looking forward to it

often we think of john f. kennedy or ronald reagan as ushering in the television presidency, but, in fact, it was dwight eisenhower. i can't nest the power of television to win the presidency and to put forward his vision of america and the world and this is what we are going to look at today. dwight eisenhower brought several important developments to the modern american presidency, through his leadership style and organizational approach. doing this, he built on a lot of the transformations we already looked at this semester. for example, franklin roosevelt launched the executive office of the presidency and last week we looked at how harry truman extended it. with the national security state. dwight eisenhower formalized it. he ran his office very much like he did the military. the bureaucracy became very entrenched and well executed in the american presidency under eisenhower. for example, he had weekly cabinet meetings and form the office of congressional liaison so that he could have a formal link to the

her death is the latest in a series of tragedies in the kennedy family. president john f. kennedy, and his brother, robert f. kennedy were both assassinated. david f. kennedy died in a florida hotel after a drug overdose. the couple's other son michael kennedy died in 1997 during a ski accident in colorado on new year's eve. and two decades ago, a small plane crash killed john f. kennedy jr., his wife, carolyn kennedy, and his sister-in-law lauren bassette. rosa flores, cnn, atlanta. >>> puerto rico has sworn in its new governor, leyla santiago is there. >>>. >> reporter: some are questioning the constitutionality of this, and what's next for the island. that's coming up. suv? is it to carry cargo or to carry on a legacy? its show of strength or its sign of intelligence? in crossing harsh terrain or breaking new ground? this is the time to get an exceptional offer on the mercedes of your midsummer dreams at the mercedes-benz summer event, going on now. lease the gla 250 suv for just $329 a month at the mercedes-benz summer event. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. this is

you are on with john logsdon, the author of "john f. kennedy and the race to the moon." go ahead. of all want i first to say thank you to all the people at nasa that made it actually possible. i was a nine-year-old kid well, when they were in orbit of the moon, i think we are at my grandpa's house, and by the time we got back to paley, indiana, where we lived at the time, we watch them actually land. mom, she wasow, my basically in charge of our little family because my father was off fighting the war called vietnam. i don't know what they did in vietnam as far as listening to the broadcast from there and everything, but i remember playing with a little cardboard toy that you got from the station that you hung from a string and pretended it was a cardboard model of the lunar module, but you pretended to be landing with it. so we were huddled around the tv set at that time. host: got you. john logsdon, the public sentiment at the time of the launch versus the time leading up to the launch? guest: at the time of the launch, particularly after the success of apollo eight a few months

john f. kennedy, lyndon b. johnson and richard nixon. we get an inside look into how presidents conducted their day-to-day business. the miller center hosted this event. >> good afternoon everyone. professor atciate the nontender. alluld like to look on the too echoes of the past, featuring my colleagues. it is quite wonderful to be here with everybody. for the next 75 minutes, we will .hare with you insights we will look to explore the dynamics. to the also let them contemporary developments to see what kinds of questions they prompt us to ask about contemporary dynamics, the history they contain, parallels to today's events, that is a practice of democracy itself. established in 1998. we are the only institution of its time doing it, analyzing and transcribing the secret made fromal tapes 1974 to 1973. we do this work at the miller center. so much of our work is browser-based. the digital edition is ours. we also publish the greatest hits through miller center dot oregon. we share with you those clips today. i just want to knowledge of

john f kennedy gave us the apollo express, and that was a wonderful, a masterpiece of understatement, of succinct instruction. what kennedy said helped us so much in our preparation for the first lunar landing. i cannot emphasize too much. wherever we went, we would use kennedy's name. you guys got to get busy here. you're lagging behind. you've got to do this and that and the other. kennedy said at the end of the decade. i like to transfer that spirit from where we are to where we might go, and i would propose going direct to mars under what i would call the jfk mars express. having said that, i grant people who want to go back to the moon, i grant it, they have a great deal of merit to their argument, and neil armstrong who i consider to be a lot better engineer than i, thought that there were gaps in our knowledge, and that it would -- we could fill up for fill the spots by a return to the moon, and that that would assist us mightily in our attempt to go to mars. >> and we believe the faster we get to the moon, the faster we get to mars as we develop the systems to make it happen.

and this does set up very nicely which is the 1960 election when john f. kennedy does that. friends? >> sorry about those. but what i was going to say is, also on the opposite side of that as kelly mentioned in their article that we read, you had things like the eisenhower- nixon research group that sort of codified a party machine version, too. it was less about being the king maker and more about y taking what limited money they had -- which, it was millions of dollars -- it wasn't limited by normal scope. it was -- they did have a budget and figuring out what the most effective way to spend that money was. >> uh-huh. uh-huh. d absolutely. excellent. so new challenges within the party itself to think about how to adapt and take advantage of the media landscape. and then the role of individuals that then who are not -- not a part of the party can think about ways in which they can foreground themselves to make the party take them seriously. y and that, again, is something that stanley kelly talked about notably in this particular excerpt. and i'm going to give you a brief s

president kennedy did so, in the middle of his 1000 days. in the summer of 1962, president john f. kennedy began planning to get american troops out of vietnam. planning wereh produced in early 1963, were june, theninto may and presented to kennedy in fall of 1963. president kennedy was presented with plans to get virtually all united states combat troops, not combat troops necessarily at that time, they were military advisors, but u.s. soldiers out of vietnam by the end of 1965. in an effort to kickstart that process, 1000 advisors were to be withdrawn by the end of 1963. we know abou tt this because of the pentagon papers, which has a section on this withdrawal. but we also know about it in much greater color and texture because of the kennedy white house tapes. so what i would like to do for you now is to play a combination of tapes, tapes we spliced together from meetings that took place on october 2, 1963, one of them a morning session, relatively small between kennedy and senior national security advisor's, and then an evening national security council which a after public st

[ applause ] >>> tank you, what i'm going to do here is give about 25 minutes so i hope we have time for question-and-answer but i want you to know, reconstruction stayed alive in the popular memory, largely through its portrayal in popular media. and i want to look at the politics of portrayals of andrew johnson's impeachment. and my primary work is going to be thomas dixon's klansman, the film tennessee johnson and john f. kennedy's profiles in courage, my thesis is that these works portrayal of reconstruction as part of the mid-rul
