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."

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.
