clarence, where do you think your country and your presidency stands after the weekend we ve just witnessed? well, it is a test for all of us, i think, brian. you know, when john meecham talks about the past, i think about how i became politicized in grade school when i saw national guard troops escorting black students into little rock high school i m sorry, i shouldn t say national guard. it was actually the airborne. president eisenhower called in to replace the arkansas national guard in order to escort black students into little rock central high school in arkansas, and i said to my parents, what happened? because things had changed overnight. and they said, president eisenhower. and i was too young to know about the presidency, but i thought president eisenhower was a title in itself like emperor. and i said who will be the next president eisenhower when this president eisenhower is gone? that stuck with me all these years because that s when i
he obviously has this well, the catastrophe there in virginia on his mind, his plunging poll numbers, all this is happening and he s trying to put a strong face on it, but he won t do a news conference. he walks out of the room when reporters ask him questions. he doesn t present a portrait of strength right now and that s sad. we have to go beyond partisanship here and talk about the good of the country and this is a time for people to be pulling together and i m happy most americans right now seem to be forging ahead on this and but still wondering what s going on in washington. well, here, here, and to our viewers i give you two living reasons why the pulitzer jury is rarely wrong. john meecham, clarence page, recipients both. gentlemen, thank you for your time on this monday night as we try to get our arms around at
