the assassination, the photos of the event and the scenes of the funeral with the widow, the march 2 arlington national cemetery. engraved on the national memory where they served as a dark backdrop to the tumultuous events that followed in the 1960's. most books on the assassination raise the question of who did it. that oswald do it. he did. or maybe the mafia. maybe the cia or fbi. the radical right wing businessman. those are favored subjects. i ask a different question. what did it mean. this is a large event. what did it mean in american life. what was its meaning for politics? what was the length between kennedy's assassination in 1963 and the events that followed, which by 1968 turned the nation on its head? end1960's represented the of the liberal era, which began in the 1930's with franklin roosevelt and the new deal. by 1968 the assumptions of the liberal movement that roosevelt, truman, stephenson, humphrey, represented,hnson those assumptions were in tatters by 1968. 1968 was a remarkable year. a wall street journal piece on the events of that year including, two important assassi

cemetery and on many days our view of arlington is one of the most striking in our nation's capitol. on most days it serves as a stark reminder of the awesome and irrefcoable responsibles of the position of chief of staff of the army. like general creighton abrams before him, ray firmly believes that soldiers are not in the army, they are the army. and it's always been his number one job to serve them well and to serve them honorably. whether it is fighting in tikrit or visiting a wounded warrior at a hospital bed in walter reed, ray has been the consummate leader, distinguished and thoughtful. he has led with a quick mind, calloused hands and a servant's spirit. and while the army has been his profession for more than 39 years, serving this great nation and it is people, protecting his beloved army has always been his career. that there are so many of you here today, so many senior leaders, both active and retired and civilians, it is a clear and true testament to the legacy of ray odierno. as a secretary said, there is really no earthly way to fully capture the breadth and depth of

mike from arlington, virginia, good morning. caller: good morning, can you hear me? host: we sure can. caller: thank you particular call. i am surprised to hear this chauvinistic and misogynist things being said. originally, i am from ethiopia and some 35 years ago, there was a rebel movement in the country who overthrew the military dictatorship and women were fully engaged in combat and lived in the mountains, so for the 17 years, these people were -- werehe military fighting the military dictatorship and 33% of the soldiers were women. very disciplined, equal pay, men, in a really hostile environment for years on end, and there were commanders in the highest of ranking of the rebel i am hearing this in america that people would question what women are capable of, which is shocking to me because we are very behind, these women fought and nobody questioned them and what they were able to do. here in our country, it is completely absurd to me how these people call in and ask those kind of chauvinistic type of answers, but they probably should look into other parts of

arlington, virginia, you are up first. this is richard. go ahead. in law enforcement, and i've seen this happening gradually for quite a long time. the northeast is just inundated with heroin. as a law enforcement strategy, i believe, and i think our chief agrees with us and will probably make an announcement, and i cannot do that now, that we will not be permitted by special .rder to arrest a heroin user we will only be permitted to arrest the dealer he bought from . that is our focus now. it's going to focus law enforcement activities into picking up dealers. one of the things we tried to do is to get referrals on the street. in other words, do not have the person coming to the police department. i think asking a heroin addict to come into the police department to get help is probably not going to be received well by many because they are engaged in other activities and have outstanding warrants and things of that nature. i think the officer on the street should begin a card that they can give to users and say, "here's your resources, own numbers,

jason, i like to meet with you, i'm in arlington area. i watched the legislators when i give them documents that are of government and other documents, and they are stunned that they had never seen it before. my website is center forcopright integrity.com. started learning about wall street and how they have a free pass that congress wrote. host: jason williamson? guest: i certainly think there are issues around how law-enforcement prioritizes its work, where it puts its resources. i agree there are all kinds of contexts in which the law may be compromised, and that law enforcement probably pays too much attention to what is going in communities of color rather than also focusing on what is happening on wall street , inside the big banks, and so forth. that policed departments are faced with unique circumstances in the jurisdictions where they exist and they have to make decisions about how to allocate their resources. i am not a law enforcement expert, so this is not to say that someone else should be dictating what those priorities are,

she died at age 64, and she is the only first lady to date that's buried in arlington national cemetery. jackie kennedy really wasn't appreciated for the things that she did. maybe that's because of her age. 31 years old. she was much younger than any of the first ladies that we've talked about so far today. those first ladies became first ladies mid-40s, late 40s, 50, 60. jackie was 31 years old. she was young. she was beautiful. she was raising and burying children. what could she possibly know? but she was very well educated, and she was very, very intellige intelligent. she spoke spanish, italian and french fluently. she wasn't really interested in politics, but she was willing to help with the campaign. what people need to realize is that when the campaign of 1960 was going on, she was pregnant and it made her active role kind of limited. but she did make calls for kennedy, and she did give speeches in spanish and italian. she recorded campaign spots in spanish, encouraging votes for jfk. there's jackie doing some speeches in spanish. about the 1960 election, jackie said, i cast on
