At the LBJ ranch in Texas, Walter Cronkite questions former President Johnson about the 1968 cessation of bombing over North Vietnam. Begun in 1965,the bombing was supposed to cut down infiltration of South Vietnam and produce negotiations. The 36th President recalls that even though the results were not satisfactory, any decision to halt the bombing had to wait until the enemy launched a major attack and failed. Early in 1968, the Tet Offensive provided the right moment. The President reviews former Secretary of State Dean Rusk's proposal in March, 1968 to stop the bombing without reciprocity. He also discusses recommendations by then Secretary of State Clark Clifford and others, including UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg. An unofficial brain trust was also assembled to advise the President, who announced a partial bombing halt on March 31st, 1968. Other topics include Senator J. William Fulbright's opposition to the President and public opinion concerning the war in Vietnam. NOTE: CBS NEWS presented the second in a series of Special broadcasts in which former president Lyndon Baines Johnson presented his account of great events, issues and decisions. This account was edited from several lengthy conversations with correspondent Walter Cronkite, filmed in the autumn of 1969 at the LBJ ranch in Texas.

A year ago, the shooting of reputed Mafia chief Joseph Columbo at an Italian-American Unity Day rally touched off at least 14 other Mafia shootings. In this hour, reporter Nicholas Pileggi and Luigi Barzini (author of "The Italians") explore the roots, structure, and harsh code of that mystical (and say many Italian-Americans, mythical group, the Mafia.) Why was Columbo Shot? Because Pileggi says, his much-publicized Italian-American Civil Rights League violated the mob's code of silence. "The sight itself was unthinkable to Columbo's peers- a Mafia leader standing before 50,000 people, guarded by the police." (Parallel case: the recent shooting of Crazy Joe Gallo who had also become something of a public figure,)

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.
