Transcript

00:00 It all began so beautifully.

00:02 Lyndon Johnson and Mrs. Johnson have just arrived.

00:06 Lyndon and I rode down the avenue in one car.

00:09 Suddenly, there was a shot.

00:11 I heard the words, "The President is dead."

00:15 Mrs. Kennedy's dress was stained with her husband's blood.

00:20 I asked her if I couldn't get somebody to help her change.

00:24 She said, "Oh no, I want them to see what they have done to Jack."

00:28 We have this from Washington.

00:29 Commendator was saying, "Lyndon Johnson, now President of the United States."

00:34 That was when the enormity first struck me.

00:36 I was walking onto a stage for a part I had never rehearsed.

00:42 As the wife of the President, only I would see events unfold from that particular vantage point.

00:48 I thought to record this.

00:53 And it was incredible.

00:57 I walked to the oven, hands, whatever he's doing.

01:00 You want to listen to my critique?

01:02 Yes, ma'am.

01:03 You are a little reckless. You need to read it with a little more conviction.

01:07 In general, it was a good B-plus.

01:09 Lindbergh came flying into my room.

01:12 "Mama, Mama, Dr. King's been shot."

01:14 Evening assumed a nightmare quality.

01:17 The White House was like a fortress. Nobody gets out, nobody gets in.

01:21 The phone jarred me awake.

01:24 It was Lyndon saying, "Senator Kennedy had been shot."

01:27 What is our country coming to? What is happening to us?

01:30 Are we a sick society?

01:32 The world had changed overnight.

01:35 But Vietnam dominated the news.

01:37 Down with the law!

01:39 He, I, and the children, Linda and Lucy, will be criticized and slandered for things we have done, things we never did at all.

01:47 That Vietnam War is for the birds. Linda Bird, Lady Bird, Doody Bird.

01:51 This will be painful. It's a perilous path to tread.

01:55 The burial of Bobby Kennedy.

01:57 I found myself in front of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy.

02:00 I felt extreme hostility. Was it because I was alive?

02:04 The greatest courage in the world is to get up in the morning and go about the day's work.

02:10 It is an endurance contest, this job.

02:13 That's a large order for a woman.
