Scenes of the Old West- described by people who lived there-are recreated in this half-hour chronicle. Producer James Benjamin set out to show life in the late 1800s as it really was, unadorned by romanticism or legend. To do it, he talked with two men and a woman who were there. (They were also among those interviewed by John Myers for his book "The Westerners," the basis for this program.) Their remarks are interspersed with stills and art of the Old West and reenactments (by nonprofessionals) at Pioneer Arizona Village, near Phoenix, Arizona. The three historians are Charlie Blake, 90, a cowboy who specialized in bronx busting; Pecos Higgins, 86, who left Texas to escape the law; and Agnes Wright Spring, in her late 70s, who arrived after the others and typified settlers who witnessed the end of a great American era. Narrated by Robert Ryan.

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.
