The coronavirus crisis, flocking to parks on a beautiful spring day with the weather looking good again today. Shoppers across the south, meanwhile, heading to the malls from georgia to texas. But in other places frustration and anger as pockets of protesters fight the restrictions imposed in their states. Here is the latest this morning. Seven more states will begin to partially reopen for business. They are arizona, florida, indiana, minnesota, missouri, nebraska and new hampshire. All roads into and out of the city of gallop, new mexico, have been blocked as the governor says the coronavirus is, quote, running amuck there. Meanwhile, there are now 1. 1 million cases of coronavirus in the United States, and more than 66,000 deaths so far. Much more on those starts of the story in a moment. Plus, with scientists now focusing on more than a dozen possible vaccines, we will talk to the man who helped to develop a vaccine for another deadly virus about how soon we might see one now. Late
Justice for all. Thank you. We have had the fortune of having Many Political journalists, both print and broadcast, speak here over the years. The one we have with us tonight has covered six u. S. President s beginning with president reagan. Speaking of president reagan, we were first introduced to canada back in 2002 when he and a handful of other experts came out to the Reagan Library to share stories about president reagan and our air force one tail number 27000. Stories we then used to make our visitors experience and our air force one pavilion that much more rich. Since then hes come to other times to discuss and find copies of his book, prisoners of the white house in 2013, and ultimate insiders white house photographers and how they shape history in 2017. Since he has been covering the white house since 1986 i am sure he is no lack of material for many more books, especially since today he continues to provide insight into the white house of donald trump in the world of presiden
We have had the fortune of having Many Political journalists, both print and broadcast speak here over the years but the one we have with us tonight has covered six us president s beginning with president reagan. Speaking of president reagan we were first introduced to him in 2002, when Kenneth Walsh and a number of experts shared stories about president reagan and air force one 27,000 which we use to make visitors experience that much more rich. Since then he has come two other times to discuss and sign copies of his book, prisoners of the white house in 2013, ultimate insiders, white house photographers and how they shape history, 2017. Since he has covered the white house since 1986 im sure he has no lack of material for many more books especially since today he continues to provide insight into the white house of donald trump in the world of president ial campaigns and if were lucky maybe he will share some insight into the upcoming election. Easier to discuss his book president ia
Steering us through this confrontation that could have ended up in a terrible nuclear war. Later it was revealed we had actually traded outmoded missiles in turkey and a promise not to invade cuba for removal of the soviet missiles but that wasnt disclosed at the time. It was a deft communication strategy. My concluding point, kennedy, unflappable, the guy, completely misread, failing in his own defining moment that kennedy really understood the stakes involved in the risks that were taken but he pursued in the end a crude and sensible way of dealing with this and is given credit for that. Lyndon johnson takes over after kennedy is assassinated. This is the vietnam war photograph from the tet offensive in 1968, a surprise move, the north vietnamese and the vietcong, basically the United States and south vietnamese won most of the battles. The problem was we were a long way from winning in vietnam but even though president johnson said they were there was light at the end of the tunnel.
