the one thing in life you know for sure? with that elegant smile, he issed, "good and evil are always at war. good men must choose." with defiance and dignity and equal measure, nelson mandela chose, and america loved him for it. [ cheers ] >> reporter: byron pitts, abc news, new york. >> amazing seeing those shots. a man in some respects is on this mt. olympus of great human beings was so human and everybody who met him said the same thing. the shot of him wearing a yankees' hat is so great. i'm a mets fan. i will forgive him for that, but so human. there's an autobiography out, and he tries to connect with people. he said i have discovered the secret. i have walked this long walk to freedom and i'm not perfect. i have made a lot of mistakes but he said i discovered for every hill you climb there are more hills to climb. in all that he achieved he knew because south africa wasn't where he wanted it to be there
