Guest cure tor on this exhibit. I was a photographer myself and photographed a lot of politicians. Starting with nixon. Governor brown in california. And john f. Kennedy. Many of the events he was present at and tragically i was in dallas when he was assassinated. Why this exhibit here in the American Art Museum at this time . Well, its the centennial of his birth. A hundred years ago he was born. How do you put an exhibit like this together, where do you start . First you start with a few researchers. And we collected actually 34,000 photographs of jfk and his family. It took about six months. And it became the basis of a very important book. That we published with harper collins. And from those 35,000 pictures and the 400 some odd pictures in the book we were able to select 77 photographs that we felt told the story of his life and times. Jfk was a modern president.

Hoover she lived longer than the president. Outlived him by ten years. She is the longest lived first lady still. She was 97 when she died. And she died in new york . No she did in missouri. Your mother was in new york in no my mother was in chicago. My family dies all over the place. Talk about the person. That person was developed well before they became first lady and how they performed in the office has a great from their
Where there is renewed talk o triggers the socalled Nuclear Option. Harry reid now moving to change filibuster rules. Democrats want their revised to get several of president obamas judicial contaminations moving forward. Dell, republicans block these nominations, and democrats are furious. They say they are noncontroversial amroi noncontroversial appointments. Take a listen to senator reid. During this congress, the 113th congress, the United States has wasted an unprecedented amount of time on procedural hurdles and partisan obstruction. As a result, the work of this country goes undone. Congress should be passing legislation that strengthens our economy, protects american families. Instead were burning wasted hours and wasted days between filibusters. So the Nuclear Option means it would take the simple majority to overcome this filibuster threat. You think about senator rand paul doing a marathon talk session on the senate floor. Often it is just the threat of a filibuster that hol
