and sometimes richard nixon drove pat crazy. she like to be involved in every aspect, including state dinner, putting tremendous got everything down to the entertainment and the menus and, of course, she under people wanted to do it themselves. the other thing that impressed me and i was very touched by is how protected richard nixon was of pat and the white house years. the articles in the papers claiming she was a failed as a first lady, a very traditional and even complaining that she was seen stuffing envelopes. he would gather in the personal and sick now we've got to put out press releases saying all the wonderful things she's done for underprivileged people. she had such an amazing career. 1969 when nixon's were about to go on a tour of europe, there was an article in "the new york times," very famous article in which the columnist stated that the nixon marriage is dry as dust. well, pat and dick worked together to do documentaries to counter these kinds of accusations in the press and is a documentary that was made of th

not simply richard nixon. and, frankly, my sense is that the perp who might have -- the person who might have done it is the one really denial person in the nixon entourage because it went to florida. what was it doing in florida? there's no secret evidence. i never saw any, and whatever evidence i saw i made sure, to the extent i could, made sure it was available, and there's nothing more. i wish there were more. i've just given you speculation, but it's just mine. >> question over here on your left. >> hi. my name's brian fodera, and i'm not going to ask you about any conspiracies. probably safe to say that americans' collective faith in government is a lot lower today than it was, say, 50 years ago and, obviously, a lot of things have happened in that period; the vietnam war, 9/11, katrina, etc. how much of that loss of faith many government do you ascribe to watergate? >> and vietnam. >> and the assassinations. >> yeah. i think, i think that, well, first of all, you've got the credibility gap, that whole c

i don't think richard nixon painted himself in the bathroom. >> guest: no. we were talking about that. wonderful line that we thought he was under the influence of dick cheney but it was actually freud. i agree with tim. 1960 election was hugely traumatic on all kinds of levels. one, i think nixon, who had always regarded kennedy as a friend. he liked kennedy. one of the things that i found -- after nixon's nastiest campaign, his california race against helen douglas, and democrats would forever turn game them. after that kennedy spoke to students at harvard and said i'm glad she lost, wouldn't want to have to work with her. kennedy supported his membership in a country club, and jackie invited the nixons to their wedding, when jack kennedy was laid up with a bad back, nixon helped in the reorganization of the senate and protected him. i won't call them friends. they were politics. no one is really friends in this business -- >> host: tip opeel and ronald reagan were friends. >> guest: right. they were friendly. colleagues, roughly the same age, and suddenly

richard nixon. she walked told from a date with headlights from the car of young admirers. this is what richard nixon was competing with them by contrast to a five-year old nixon found his ambition blocked. living in a small room over his parents arrived working a job he was reluctant to take, did not have a girlfriend and back home in the town he tried to live we quite -- leave behind after third in his law class he was disappointed with the law firm said turned down the job applications and her mom pulled strings for him to work as an associate the most reputable law firm. >> so he is just beginning his career and pat is having the best time. with his trademark persistence he pursued her. after six months pat really does not want to get involved she goes to michigan to buy a car and disappears from his life for three months. he did not like that. in september he heard she was mcenroe a letter saying above like to see you if you can stand me and i promise it will never be boring. he was right about that. if you have a moment to stand in the shoes of the person you are writ

richard nixon. that is a great context for me to tell you about the book. by telling the story of richard nixon through the perspective of his wife and marriages, his strengths are claireified and his weaknesses are put into perspective. when we was on the american house activity committee and he was investing algeria for c commumism. i have a confession to make. in 1969, i was a graduate students at the universe of texas. and i was protesting the vietnam war and richard nixon. i would never have thought i would be here today. things do thing. as a psychologist, i have been working with married couples since 1970. i have been fascinated by long-term marriages and all they shift and go through. over the marriage, one person is interested in new developing careers and they move apart. and the other partner moves off to another area. i want to tell you some of the things i found, but i will not have time to tell you about the wonderful relationship with the eisinhouser. he was very sentimental. on the

the responsibility was left to richard nixon. the primary responsibility for controlling inflation rests with the national administration and its handling of fiscal and monetary affairs. but would this president be willing to accept the traditional keynesian approach to reduce demand by increasing taxes? chief economic advisor paul mccracken explains nixon's reluctance. i don't know of any political situation short of a war, where there isn't hesitancy about increasing taxes. that's the least popular thing the political system wants to hear. increased taxes were likely not only to cut inflation, but also to slow the economy. nixon believed the 1960 economic slowdown had cost him the presidency, and his eye was now on the 1972 elections. nixon was a laissez-faire conservative. he feared increased revenues would increase government's size and role. if taxes wouldn't be raised, why not cut back on federal spending? it would have been irresponsible to start with a cleaver, slicing everything, partly because, i'm sure, a year or so la

richard nixon as we know went on to win the presidency. that experience also made roger ailes and overnight star in the political world. it's ironic that roger ailes the conservative icon in a certain sense owes his career to a liberal. in 1968 but journalists from philadelphia named joe macinnes was traveling around writing about the way nixon was using television to provide his political career. he wrote a landmark book that i recommend everyone in addition to reading might look called the selling of the president. it's a fascinating look, a behind-the-scenes machinations of how the television consultants helped introduce them to the american people. that book was a bestseller and a total sensation of its time. roger ailes was the most vivid character in the book. he was profane, he was rash. you was making fun of nixon. it's remarkable when you think a of 27 or 28-year-old kid would be quoted in a book making fun of the future president of the united states but there is roger ailes. the book comes out and makes it ailes a star. ultimate

richard nixon, man who never wanted to be vulnerable in public, was inconsolable. he couldn't stop his weeping. he took hand kerr consecutives to cover his mouth but a he was completely undone because she had been the only one for him. several -- and after the funeral he went up to greet the reagans and he leaned on nancy reagan's chest and went. back in new jersey crowley found him, and he said, there's no one here. there's silence. my god. and at the funeral, someone told leonard garment, one of his attorneys, richard nixon is not going to last a year. he died eight months after pat did. and one of the great moments of the funeral, a lot of you may remember, is that president clinton came and said, may the day of judging president nixon on less than his whole life be ended, and i would like to -- and of course, you may remember president clinton was a war protester and his wife was on the watergate committee, so for that -- for him to say that was extraordinary. so, from one watergate protester, vietnam protester to another, i'd like to join clinton in saying, ma

someday we may get leaders like jaeger hoover and richard nixon and others who have intruded on privacy and we have to protect against that potential even if we think today we have benign rulers who would not use that information in the way that j edgar hoover and richard nixon did. protection of the constitution has to be the worst-case scenario, not the best case scenario. >> does that protection extend also to things like patents and is this innovation? >> does this innovation and patents were thought by the framers of the constitution to be very important. very rare that the constitution protects patents and copyrights ante achievements because jefferson and madison and others were so interested in that. we have to make sure they are appropriately protected. while also protecting the right of the public to have access to material. >> to go back to your comments about national security, and other corporations around the world do not respect the same kinds of patent rights, should that mean that u.s. corporations should be able to behave in the same way? >> it is a hard question. we h

swift recounts the relationship between president richard nixon and his wife, pat. the author utilized recently-released correspondences between the nixons and interviewed trends and family members to examine the couple's marriage amidst richard nixon's political career and presidential tenure. this is about half an hour. >> first of all, thank you all for coming, and thank you so much to sandy and the foundation for inviting me. the book, "pat and dick," literally came out on
