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.

A look back at 25 years of David Susskind OPEN END & THE DAVID SUSSKIND SHOW. David Susskind and his wife Joyce Davidson Susskind reminisce and play clips of past shows. David, remembers the very first show, premiere of the movie "The World of Suzi Wong," which in his estimation was a "disaster." Discussed is the oldest surviving kinescope, a December 1958 broadcast with Ben Gazzara, Adolph Green, Betty Comden, Lawrence Harvey, Julie Stein and Patricia Neal. A 90 second clip of that show is heard. Susskind remembers fondly the "How to be a Jewish Son" broadcast with Mel Brooks, Harry Truman's appearance in 1961, and Nikita Khrushchev's appearance in 1960. Other shows are remembered related to topics about nuns, prostitution, Viet Nam War, five swinging hair dressers, others, including one with Norman Mailer, Anthony Quinn, Maureen Stapleton and Truman Capote. David Susskind sums up his 25 years of talk, and states in all that time he missed only four shows.
