America's Chief Executives speak from experience in this hour, drawn from interviews dating back to 1952.
President Richard M. Nixon : " The most important thing about a public man is not why he's loved or disliked, but whether he's respected. I hope to restore respect to the presidency."
President Lhndon B. Johnson : " The real error was to be sleeping soundly about 6 AM and have the telephone ring. Had an accident occurred? Were we at war?"
President John F. Kennedy: "It's much easier to make the speeches than the judgements cause your advisers to be divided. If you choose the wrong course, the president bears the burden."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower: " There's a possibility of the Congress limiting the power of the president. Once he's got the authority, nobody can stop him. "
President Harry S. Truman: " If he's got thin skin, he's got no business being in the presidency. You never want anyone to tell you what to do."
Eric Sevareid is the narrator.

President lights national Christmas tree.
A SPEICAL half hour addition of CBS REPORTS airing in prime time, bringing to light what happened on October 25, 1973 when President Richard M. Nixon ordered U.S. military's mobilization of two million men in the armed forces on a world-wide alert in response to the conflict in the Middle East.
Implications of the action leading up to such event, and beyond, are reviewed.
Behind the Middle East bloodshed.
This report, is not a history of the terrorism says writer-producer Howard Stringer, but "a look at who the Palestinian Guerillas are and what they stand for; how much they and other Palestinians have in common, and whether a peace settlement can be developed in the area."
Where peace looks bleakest is among Palestinian commandos in Lebanon, filmed rehearsing a raid across the Israeli border.(Two months later, says Stringer, this rehearsal came to resemble the attack by a splinter group on the schoolhouse in Ma'alot).
What sustains the Guerillas, Stringer believes, "is not military strength but popular sympathy," a mood reflected among refugees as well as wealthy and middle-class Palestinians. Their common dream: to rebuild a homeland out of Israeli-held territory.
Bill McLaughlin reports.
John Doar, House Judiciary Committee counsel, believes impeachment of President Nixon is warranted. Convicted John Ehrlichman asks for acquittal or new trial in Daniel Ellsberg break-in.
