THIS WEEK, ON Q & A, OUR GUEST IS FRANK MANKIEWICZ. CURRENTLY, HE IS VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS... |
| 00:00:40 |
|
ON SATURDAY, JULY 25, AFTER WALTER CRONKITE DIED, YOU WROTE A COMMENT IN LAW SHOULD POST -- IN THE... |
| 00:00:53 |
|
I SAID BACK IN 1972 WHEN I HAD A SERIOUS ROLE IN SENATOR MCGOVERN'S PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. WE HAD... |
| 00:01:33 |
|
WANTED TO TAKE WALTER CRONKITE WOULD TAKE THE JOB? |
| 00:01:36 |
|
I KNEW THAT HE WAS VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO THE VIETNAM WAR. SIX MONTHS BEFORE THAT, HE HAD COME BACK... |
| 00:02:52 |
|
THAT WAS 1968. |
| 00:02:56 |
|
NO, THAT WAS 1972. |
| 00:02:59 |
|
WHERE WAS THAT MEETING HELD? THE MEETING WITH MR. CRONKITE AND MR. KENNEDY. |
| 00:03:08 |
|
IN SENATOR KENNEDY'S OFFICE. ON CAPITOL HILL. WHAT'S HOW HAD TO COME TO KNOW SENATOR KENNEDY IN THE... |
| 00:03:16 |
|
I CAME TO KNOW HIM BECAUSE HE CALLED ME UP ONE DAY WHEN I WAS AN OFFICIAL IN THE PEACE CORPS. I WAS... |
| 00:04:25 |
|
HAD TO KNOW HIM BEFORE? |
| 00:04:26 |
|
NO. |
| 00:04:28 |
|
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER? |
| 00:04:30 |
|
YES. |
| 00:04:34 |
|
IT IS HARD TO ASK QUESTIONS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IN 1972, YOU WERE IN SENATOR... |
| 00:04:48 |
|
I HAVE BEEN SENATOR KENNEDY'S OFFICE FOR THREE YEARS. WHEN HE WAS KILLED, I WAS A JOURNALIST FOR A... |
| 00:05:10 |
|
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE PEACE CORPS? WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVE? |
| 00:05:15 |
|
I WAS A LAWYER IN CALIFORNIA. I WAS ACTIVE IN POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA. I HAD ONE FOR THE LEGISLATURE... |
| 00:06:47 |
|
WHEN DID YOU FIRST MEET? |
| 00:06:52 |
|
WHEN I WAS THE PRESS SECRETARY. I TALK TO HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT A STORY. THINGS WERE FAIRLY... |
| 00:07:07 |
|
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU WERE AROUND, WHO WERE YOU CLOSEST TO, PERSONALLY? |
| 00:07:14 |
|
I WOULD SAY ROBERT KENNEDY WERE GEORGE -- OR GEORGE MCGOVERN. |
| 00:07:20 |
|
WHY WERE YOU INTERESTED IN WORKING ON THE MCGOVERN CAMPAIGN? BUT I HAD COME TO KNOW HIM WHEN I WAS... |
| 00:07:49 |
|
WE HAVE SOME AUDIO TAPE. IT IS LYNDON JOHNSON'S CONVERSATION FROM THE OVAL OFFICE WITH BOBBY KENNEDY,... |
| 00:08:13 |
|
EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON IN 1964. |
| 00:08:15 |
|
THERE WAS SOME TALK THAT HE MIGHT BE THE VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR LYNDON JOHNSON WHEN HE RAN... |
| 00:09:14 |
|
IN 1964, HOW HOT WAS THE VIETNAM WAR. |
| 00:09:20 |
|
IT WAS ROLLING ALONG. WE WERE VERY CLOSELY ALLIED WITH SOME DUBIOUS LEADERS OF THE COUNTRY. IT DID... |
| 00:09:45 |
|
THIS CLIP IS ABOUT 3 1/2 MINUTES. |
| 00:09:51 |
|
BOB MCNAMARA HAD A TALK WITH ME AND ASKED ME TO COME OVER. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF -- I HAD THE... |
| 00:12:22 |
|
I THINK THAT THAT IS GOOD THINKING. IT IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY I HAVE FELT ABOUT IT. WE... |
| 00:13:29 |
|
THIS IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN'T GET TO TO HUMAN BEINGS INSIDE AND AN ADMINISTRATION -- INSIDE... |
| 00:13:45 |
|
WELL, WHAT I WAS HEARING WAS AN EVOLVING POSITION OF SENATOR KENNEDY'S THAT IT. HE HAD BEEN A STRONG... |
| 00:14:17 |
|
FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE, WHEN DID SENATOR KENNEDY BECOME VERY ANTI-WAR. |
| 00:14:33 |
|
I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ABOUT 1966 OR 1967. HE WAS ALWAYS MOVING THAT WAY. HE WOULD HAVE COME DOWN WITH... |
| 00:15:16 |
|
KENNEDY AND SENATOR -- SECRETARY MCNAMARA TALK A LOT. IT MAY BE HIS POSITION WAS CHANGING AND SO WAS... |
| 00:15:49 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE PRESIDENT SAYING THAT PEOPLE DO NOT TELL HIM TO HIS FACE WHAT HE SHOULD... |
| 00:15:55 |
|
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REMARKABLE INSIGHT. I THINK EVERY PRESIDENT MAYBE FEELS THAT, BUT DOES NOT DO... |
| 00:16:47 |
|
OHNSON WAS BEGINNING TO THINK LIKE THAT. " HOW DID YOU PERSONALLY RELATE TO SENATOR KENNEDY? I FIGURED... |
| 00:17:04 |
|
ROBERT KENNEDY AND I WERE ABOUT THE SAME AGE. WHEN I WAS APPOINTED PRESS SECRETARY, THE LEADING POLITICAL... |
| 00:17:20 |
|
DID YOU EVER TALK BACK TO HIM OR TALK TO HIM? |
| 00:17:22 |
|
WE WERE FAIRLY CLOSE. |
| 00:17:30 |
|
YOUR IN HIS SENATE OFFICE FOR 3.5 YEARS? |
| 00:17:32 |
|
THREE YEARS. |
| 00:17:36 |
|
WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND? |
| 00:17:38 |
|
I WAS NEVER IN FAVOR OF THE WAR. WHAT CHANGED MY MIND WAS OBSERVING A SKIRMISH THAT WE HAD IN THE... |
| 00:18:09 |
|
I WAS OVERSEAS. I WAS WITH THE PEACE CORPS. I WAS WITH THEM FROM 1964-1965. |
| 00:18:21 |
|
HOW DID YOU WORK IN THE CAMPAIGN? WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES? |
| 00:18:32 |
|
IN 1968, HE DECIDED HE WAS BORN TO RUN. THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHERE... |
| 00:19:14 |
|
THE DATE THAT I HAD IS HE |
| 00:19:15 |
|
THAT IS RIGHT. THE DAY BEFORE ST. PATRICK'S DAY WHEN HE WENT UP IN MARCH IN THE PARADE IN NEW YORK.... |
| 00:19:24 |
|
TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN THAT, WALTER CRONKITE HAD MADE HIS STATEMENT ON VIETNAM ON HIS NEWSCAST. THAT... |
| 00:19:38 |
|
IT SEEMS NOW, MORE CERTAIN THAN EVER, THAT THE BLOODY EXPERIENCE OF VIETNAM WILL END IN STALEMATE.... |
| 00:20:17 |
|
HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT WE ARE CLOSER TO VICTORY TODAY AND IT GOES ON. WHEN DID HE MEET WITH SENATOR... |
| 00:20:38 |
|
THANK YOU BEEN TO VIETNAM BEFORE. |
| 00:20:41 |
|
WHEN YOU WERE SITTING THERE LISTENING TO HIM -- AND I'D THINK HE HAD BEEN TO VIETNAM BEFORE. WHAT... |
| 00:21:10 |
|
WHAT ABOUT AN ACRE MAN FOR A MAJOR NETWORK -- AND ANCHOR MAN FOR A MAJOR NETWORK. ? |
| 00:21:18 |
|
IT DID NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IF AT ALL. THAT IS ONE REASON THAT I FAVORED WALTER CRONKITE TO BE THE... |
| 00:21:52 |
|
YOU WROTE IN THIS COLUMN, AFTER WALTER CRONKITE DIED, -- WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL HE DIED TO WRITE THAT?... |
| 00:22:25 |
|
WELL, MAYBE I OVER EXTENDED A SENSE OF WHAT WOULD BE THE ETHICAL THING TO DO. IF HE HAD NOT TALKED... |
| 00:22:40 |
|
IS THERE MORE TO THE STORY THAN THAT? |
| 00:22:44 |
|
I PRETTY WELL DESCRIBED IT. THEY TALK ABOUT NEW YORK POLITICS AND THEY TALK ABOUT VIETNAM. -- THE... |
| 00:23:20 |
|
DUE TO READ WHAT WROTE ABOUT THIS? BUCSBUCSTHERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS. |
| 00:24:16 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW. I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP HIS PERSONAL OPINIONS OUT OF... |
| 00:24:39 |
|
WHEN YOU REMEMBER THE 1968 ADVENT OF LYNDON JOHNSON PULLING OUT AND THE QUOTES THAT CAME OUT THAT... |
| 00:24:55 |
|
I THINK WHAT PRESIDENT JOHNSON SAID THAT -- WAS THAT IF HE LOST CRONKITE, HE WOULD LOSE AMERICA. I... |
| 00:25:25 |
|
THIS NEXT CLIP I WANT TO SHOW YOU, YOU HAVE SEEN MANY TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES.... |
| 00:25:44 |
|
IT WAS IN LOS ANGELES. 1968, JUNE 6 WAS THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY. HE HAD WON. THAT NIGHT, IN THE HOTEL,... |
| 00:26:23 |
|
WHERE WERE YOU THAT NIGHT? I WAS WITH THEM ALL THE WAY. |
| 00:26:27 |
|
WERE YOU NEXT TO HIM WHEN HE WAS SHOT? |
| 00:26:30 |
|
NO, I WASN'T. I WAS ABOUT 10 OR 15 YARDS BEHIND. ASS WE WERE LEAVING, I WOULD NORMALLY BE AT HIS... |
| 00:27:22 |
|
IN LOS ANGELES. |
| 00:27:23 |
|
IN LOS ANGELES. |
| 00:27:30 |
|
HIS BROTHER HAD BEEN KILLED. WHAT WAS YOUR SENSE ABOUT SECURITY. HOW TOP WAS THE SECURITY WHEN HE... |
| 00:27:39 |
|
WE HAD NO SECURITY AT ALL. WE PROVIDED OUR OWN. WE WOULD STAND BESIDE HIM AND TRY TO KEEP THE CROWD... |
| 00:27:49 |
|
IN YOUR HEAD, WERE YOU WORRIED? TODAY, THERE IS SO MUCH SECURITY. EVEN LESSER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS... |
| 00:28:02 |
|
HE HAD POLICE PROTECTION WHEN HE DROVE AROUND THE CITY, BUT NOT IN LOS ANGELES BECAUSE THE MAYOR WAS... |
| 00:28:20 |
|
WHERE WAS HE SPECIFICALLY IT AND HOW DID SIR HANSARD AND FIND HIM? |
| 00:28:33 |
|
-- HOW DID SIR HANSARD ANDHAN FIND HIM? |
| 00:28:38 |
|
WE WOULD GO TO THE LOBBY TO THIS MEETING ROOM WHERE THE PRESS WAS WAITING. HE WAS VERY TIRED. HE... |
| 00:29:30 |
|
WHERE WAS HE FROM? |
| 00:29:32 |
|
YES. I THINK HE WAS FROM SYRIA. HE WAS A PALESTINIAN. HE LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR QUITE A WAY OF --... |
| 00:29:45 |
|
WHERE IS HE NOW? WHAT'S HE IS IN SAN QUENTIN FOR LIFE. |
| 00:29:55 |
|
LET'S RUN THIS CLIP FROM 1968. WHAT SENATOR ROBERT FRANCIS KENNEDY DIED AT 140 -- 1:44 P.M. TODAY,... |
| 00:30:50 |
|
WHAT ELSE DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT? |
| 00:30:55 |
|
I REMEMBER THAT I LEFT OUT OF THAT LIST OF PEOPLE, SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY. WE MADE THE CORRECTION... |
| 00:31:51 |
|
WHEN DID IT HIT YOU? WHAT'S A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. |
| 00:32:00 |
|
IS THERE ANY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE IMPACT IT HAS HAD ON HER LIFE? NOTWHAT'S NOT YET. |
| 00:32:08 |
|
IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PASSING ON, INCLUDING EUNICE SHRIVER AND HER HUSBAND HAS... |
| 00:32:27 |
|
SAW A PICTURE OF SARGENT SHRIVER THE OTHER DAY. DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH HIM? |
| 00:32:36 |
|
HE WAS A WONDERFUL, VIBRANT, ACTIVE GUY. HE WAS WELL INTO HIS 60S, '70S. NOW, HE IS AFFLICTED WITH... |
| 00:33:00 |
|
YES HE DID. HE STARTED IT. WHAT'S THE TO KNOW HIM? |
| 00:33:04 |
|
VERY WELL. -- DID YOU KNOW HIM? |
| 00:33:17 |
|
VERY WELL. |
| 00:33:23 |
|
WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF NAMES AND PEOPLE WERE UNWILLING TO RUN. I THINK IT WAS A TURNING POINT IN... |
| 00:33:46 |
|
YOU LOST BY 25 POINTS. |
| 00:33:50 |
|
WE LOST TO THE POINT THAT SENATOR MCGOVERN WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A CANDIDATE FOR YEARS LATER. |
| 00:33:58 |
|
WALTER CRONKITE DIED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND TODAY, DON HEWITT DIED. |
| 00:34:04 |
|
I SAW THAT. |
| 00:34:06 |
|
I DID KNOW HIM. HE GAVE ME CAUSE FOR CONSIDERABLE EMBARRASSMENT IN THE KENNEDY CAMPAIGN. DON HEWITT... |
| 00:36:30 |
|
[UNINTELLIGIBLE] THE FORMER AIDE TO RONALD REAGAN WROTE -- |
| 00:36:54 |
|
THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT. SINCE I WAS RUNNING FOR THE LEGISLATURE IN CALIFORNIA. |
| 00:37:00 |
|
HOW MUCH OF THIS FRENCH SHIP EXISTS TODAY -- A FRENCH SHIP EXISTS TODAY? -- FRENCIENDSHIP EXISTS TODAY?... |
| 00:37:23 |
|
HE WAS PROBABLY INVOLVED WITH SOMEBODY ON THE OTHER SIDE. I RESPECTED HIM. HE IS ONE OF THE RARE ... |
| 00:38:05 |
|
I AM. |
| 00:38:07 |
|
YOU ARE UP ABOUT AND I UNDERSTAND YOU GO TO WORK EVERY DAY. |
| 00:38:12 |
|
I WORK EVERY DAY, BUT I TECHNICALLY RETIRED. I KEEP THE OFFICE AND THE PHONE AND THE COMPUTER AND... |
| 00:38:22 |
|
WHAT ARE YOU WRITING A BOOK ABOUT? BUT I SUPPOSE IT IS A MEMOIR. |
| 00:38:31 |
|
-- I SUPPOSE IT IS A MEMOIR. |
| 00:38:34 |
|
WANTED TO WAIT THIS LONG? |
| 00:38:39 |
|
IT IS TIME. |
| 00:38:44 |
|
YOU ARE 85. DON HEWITT IS 88. WALTER CRONKITE IS 92. EUNICE SHRIVER WAS 88. HOW DO YOU DO IT AT THIS... |
| 00:39:05 |
|
PRETTY MUCH THE WAY THAT I DID 20 YEARS AGO OR 30. THERE ARE THINGS TO BE DONE. I HAVE A WONDERFUL... |
| 00:39:32 |
|
WHAT BOVE DID YOU WRITE TOGETHER BEFORE? |
| 00:39:35 |
|
WE WROTE A GOOD BOOK ABOUT TELEVISION CALLED "REMOTE- CONTROL." IT WAS ABOUT HOW TELEVISION WAS VERY... |
| 00:39:50 |
|
I THINK SO. BUCS IN WHAT WAY? |
| 00:39:56 |
|
-- IN WHAT WAY? IT HAS CREATED IT HAS CREATED POLITICS AND A WAY THAT WE LOOK AT OUR PUBLIC LIFE.... |
| 00:40:51 |
|
ARE YOU GETTING ANGRIER? |
| 00:40:55 |
|
I DO NOT WHAT THE CABLE STUCK DURING THE DAY. |
| 00:40:57 |
|
WHAT ARE YOUR HABITS EVERY DAY? |
| 00:41:00 |
|
I WAKE UP TO A WONDERFUL RADIO PROGRAM, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO FOR WHICH I WAS PRESIDENT FOR AWHILE.... |
| 00:41:37 |
|
DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN THE TED KENNEDY CAMPAIGN AT ALL? |
| 00:41:41 |
|
ONLY IN COVERING IT. |
| 00:41:45 |
|
DID YOU ENCOURAGE HIM TO RUN? |
| 00:41:49 |
|
I PROBABLY DIDN'T, BUT ONLY PERIPHERALLY. I DID NOT HAVE A ROLE IN HIS CAMPAIGN. A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY... |
| 00:42:01 |
|
WHY DID THEY ROSE TO IN 2004? |
| 00:42:07 |
|
-- WHY DID THEY ROAST YOU IN 2004? |
| 00:42:10 |
|
IT WAS PART OF A FUND TO SET UP A SCHOLARSHIP. SOMEBODY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET PEOPLE... |
| 00:42:29 |
|
HERE IS TED KENNEDY TALKING ABOUT YOU. |
| 00:42:34 |
|
I O FRANK A LOT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE IN 1980 IF FRANK HAD NOT BEEN PRESIDENT... |
| 00:43:25 |
|
WHAT IS HE LIKE? |
| 00:43:29 |
|
HE IS A LIKABLE AND ENGAGING MAN DID. HE IS THE BEST CENTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY -- OF THE 20TH- CENTURY.... |
| 00:43:52 |
|
HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM DURING THIS TIME OF HIS BRAIN CANCER? |
| 00:44:07 |
|
NOT MUCH. |
| 00:44:11 |
|
THIS SEEMS TO BE A TIME A LOT OF PEOPLE PASSING ON. BUT A LOT OF BIG-NAME FIGURES OF THE '60S AND... |
| 00:44:22 |
|
WHAT IS THE LEGACY OF ALL THAT ERA? |
| 00:44:26 |
|
IT IS HARD TO SAY. PART OF THE LEGACY IS GOOD FELLOWSHIP FOR COMPATIBILITY. WE ALL GOT ALONG A LOT... |
| 00:45:28 |
|
HERMAN MANKIEWICZ DID WHAT FOR A LIVING? |
| 00:45:30 |
|
HE WAS A SCREENWRITER. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT JUST BY WATCHING. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS A... |
| 00:45:44 |
|
HIS MOST FAMOUS MOVIE? |
| 00:45:47 |
|
CITIZEN KANE. SOME MAY SAY IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. IT WAS THE STORY OF A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER... |
| 00:46:18 |
|
WHERE DID HE GET THE IDEA? |
| 00:46:21 |
|
PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS THE PARALLEL TO THE LIFE OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. THE NEW HEARST -- P DEWHURS... |
| 00:46:45 |
|
YOU HAVE TWO SONS, BEEN AN JOSHED. IT TELLS ABOUT BOTH OF THEM. |
| 00:46:52 |
|
THEY ARE -- TO TELL US ABOUT THEM. -- YOU HAVE TWO SONS, BEN AND JOSH. |
| 00:47:08 |
|
BEEN IS MUCH UNDER -- BEN IS MUCH YOUNGER AND HE IS A HOST OF TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES. YOU CANNOT DO... |
| 00:47:18 |
|
WAS AND HE WON OF THE YOUNG TURKS ON AIR AMERICA? |
| 00:47:23 |
|
YES. HE WAS THE FIRST DRAMA CRITIC OF "THE NEW YORKER" MAGAZINE. HE WORKED FOR "NEW YORK WORLD." ... |
| 00:48:06 |
|
HERE IS A LITTLE MORE FROM TED KENNEDY AT THAT ROSE. |
| 00:48:12 |
|
-- AT THAT ROAST. |
| 00:48:14 |
|
IT WAS A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN. SHE RELIED HEAVILY ON HIS PRESS SKILLS, WHAT MY BROTHER LOVE THE... |
| 00:49:33 |
|
THAT REMINDS ME OF READING PART OF THE SPEECH THAT BOBBY KENNEDY GAVE IN INDIANAPOLIS AFTER THE DEATH... |
| 00:49:55 |
|
I WAS NOT WRITING A SPEECH, BUT I WAS WRITING IDEAS FOR A SPEECH BUT WE NEVER GOT TO IT BECAUSE THE... |
| 00:50:11 |
|
AND JUST LEFT YOU? |
| 00:50:12 |
|
YES. |
| 00:50:13 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:50:18 |
|
OF THE PRESS BUS GOT TO THE SPEECH AFTER BOBBY KENNEDY STARTED THE SPEECH. THAT SPEECH WAS RIGHT OFF... |
| 00:51:03 |
|
DON'T YOU KEEP ON LEARNING? |
| 00:51:04 |
|
I TRIED. WHAT WHAT TECHNIQUE THE USE -- |
| 00:51:14 |
|
WHAT TECHNIQUE DO USE? |
| 00:51:18 |
|
I READ BOOKS AND I TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I HAVE A GOOD MEMORY. I THINK THAT MANY OF US TO JUST... |
| 00:51:30 |
|
AS YOU ARE WRITING THIS MEMOIR, ARE YOU JUST RECALLING OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD OR HAVE YOU KEPT NOTES... |
| 00:51:38 |
|
I HAVE NOT KEPT NOTES, BUT WHAT I DID FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS WAS MEET WITH THIS THE GENTLEMAN AND... |
| 00:52:04 |
|
DO YOU WANT TO JUST GIVE US A HAND ON WHAT STORY YOU ARE TELLING THAT WE WILL READ ABOUT NEXT YEAR?... |
| 00:52:14 |
|
I WOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY MIGHT BE. SOME ARE PROBABLY PROFANE AND NOT FOR WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION.... |
| 00:52:24 |
|
WHEN WILL IT WILL BE PUBLISHED? |
| 00:52:29 |
|
-- WHEN WILL IT BE PUBLISHED? |
| 00:52:34 |
|
WHENEVER THE PUBLISHER PUBLISHES IT. |
| 00:52:39 |
|
HERE IS GEORGE MCGOVERN. |
| 00:52:43 |
|
SOME MEMBERS OF THE PRESS STARTED TO VENTURE THE OPINION THAT I WAS JUST TOO NICE OF A GUY TO BE PRESIDENT... |
| 00:54:13 |
|
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT HIM? |
| 00:54:20 |
|
THE WHITE HOUSE TAPES THAT HE MADE, IN THIS MCGOVERN CAMPAIGN, IN 1972, WHEN GEORGE WALLACE WAS SHOT... |
| 00:55:26 |
|
YOU'VE COME ACROSS AS A MILD- MANNERED INDIVIDUAL. DO YOU EVER GET REALLY ANGRY? |
| 00:55:31 |
|
I DO FROM TIME TO TIME. |
| 00:55:35 |
|
WHAT ANGERS YOU MOST IN POLITICS? |
| 00:55:41 |
|
I AM INCREASINGLY ANGERED BY THE ACIDITY -- THE PASSIVITY OF THE MEDIA. THEY ARE ALWAYS CONTESTING... |
| 00:57:01 |
|
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CRONKITE COLUMN THAT YOU WROTE AFTER HE DIED. WILL THERE EVER BE ANYONE... |
| 00:57:26 |
|
MAYBE NOT. MAYBE NOT. SOMEWHERE, WE HAVE TO FIND A MEDIUM, AND I AM NOT SURE WE ARE GOING TO. |
| 00:57:49 |
|
FRANK, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. LET'S TAKE YOU, I ENJOYED IT. |
| 00:58:03 |
