00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?

04:08so we're having an informal dinner at buckingham palace she's so young i always thought she was
04:14the same age as you she is
04:36oh she is pretty isn't she
04:42yes
04:45yes
04:46yes
04:47yes
04:47yes
04:51so
05:03so
06:51One overriding item on the agenda today, ma'am.
06:55Ghana. Now continued concern for Nkrumah's growing hostility to the West.
07:01You feel that he's drifting from the Commonwealth?
07:03Not so much drifting as bolting for the door.
07:06Into whose arms?
07:09The Russians, ma'am. Yesterday he received Brezhnev in a crowd.
07:15Brezhnev?
07:16The chairman of the Soviet Presidium who flew to Ghana for talks about Nkrumah's precious dam project.
07:22The Volta Dam?
07:23Yes, ma'am.
07:24But I thought Nkrumah had been talking to the Americans about that.
07:27He had been. But Russia sees this as an opportunity.
07:30To outbid the Americans, get a foothold in Africa, in an attempt to turn the whole continent red.
07:37Well, shouldn't we ask the Americans to improve their offer?
07:40I will certainly speak to President Kennedy as soon as he arrives in London.
07:43Oh, good.
07:45Following his great triumph in Paris.
07:48Indeed.
07:49I thought de Gaulle didn't care for Mr. Kennedy.
07:52No, he doesn't. Personally or politically.
07:54So what turned it all around?
07:56The First Lady, ma'am.
08:00Why? What did she do?
08:02Dazzled Le Tou Paris. Had President de Gaulle eating out of her hand.
08:07How on earth did she do that?
08:09By speaking French fluently.
08:11Yes, we can all do that.
08:12And by debating with local philosophers and intellectuals until all anti-American sentiments simply evaporated.
08:19I suppose she is prissy.
08:23And they are French.
08:25She's a so formidably bright woman in her own right, having studied at the Sorbonne and the prestigious École Libre
08:32des Sciences Politiques.
08:34The most glamorous and intelligent woman on earth.
08:39So they say.
08:42And now she's coming to London.
08:45So we better put our best foot forward, anyway.
08:48Prime Minister.
08:50Your Majesty.
08:54Always important, I think, when choosing a gown, is to ask oneself what precisely one wants to feel when wearing
09:02it.
09:04Hmm.
09:05I just think that one doesn't want to feel second-missed.
09:10Quite.
09:11Especially if one is very much the senior of the two individuals.
09:15No, no.
09:15In terms of rank, not age.
09:19To that end, I have something quite specific in mind.
09:23Mrs. Kennedy may have dazzled in Paris.
09:25But let's not forget France is a republic.
09:30This is a monarchy.
09:32And if you've got it, flaunt it, I say.
09:52I had a look at the season plan for dinner, and I couldn't help noticing.
09:55Breathe in, Mum.
09:57I'm going to make you run.
09:58Just a bit more.
09:59You gave Mrs. Kennedy to Uncle Dickie.
10:02There.
10:02Yes, I did.
10:03At his request, he's been badgering me for weeks.
10:06As, incidentally, as your brother-in-law.
10:09Bertolt?
10:10Yes.
10:10The rascal?
10:11Not to mention our own Prime Minister and the American Ambassador.
10:15Well, well, well.
10:16All desperate to sit next to the First Lady.
10:20I could let her out a bit, Mum.
10:24No.
10:25What if I'm requesting her, too?
10:27I'll put you next to Theodora.
10:29She's my sister.
10:30Yes, whom we haven't seen in years.
10:32No, she's still my sister.
10:34And this is...
10:34You know.
10:36No, I don't know.
10:38Her.
10:40Anyway, in terms of protocol, isn't it my right, as your husband,
10:43to sit next to the most senior female there?
10:46It's true.
10:46At a state dinner, you could have expected to sit next to the most senior female guests.
10:50But on this occasion, Downing Street of Arse has begged us not to make it a state dinner.
10:56Why?
10:57So as not to put French noses out of joint.
10:59What's it got to do with the bloody French?
11:01Well, apparently de Gaulle will resist us joining the EEC if he thinks we're too close to the Americans.
11:07So it's a small, informal dinner.
11:10Oh, fine.
11:10Then it's a free-for-all, seating-wise.
11:12Yes, I suppose it is.
11:14In which case, I could put Dickey next to my sister and put myself next to the First Lady.
11:19If you must.
11:21Where?
11:24I must.
11:28I must.
11:38I must.
11:46Thank you, gentlemen.
11:50And you.
12:00The President and First Lady are arriving, ma'am.
12:03Oh.
12:05There you are.
12:17Is it possible to think you could be marginally less excited?
12:21No.
12:27What on earth is going on?
12:31They've all gone mad.
12:45Madam First Lady, welcome to Buckingham Palace.
12:49Mr. President.
12:50Hello.
12:51Her Majesty is waiting for you in the blue drawer.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Is Matt hysteria?
13:03Extraordinary behaviour.
13:09Done.
13:11For goodness sake.
13:13Come on, it's like royalty.
13:14Well, very funny.
13:27Oh, gosh.
13:30President first.
13:31President first.
13:33Your Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:42Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Good evening, Your Royal Majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:50Oh, for goodness sake.
13:51Mr. President.
13:54Mr. President.
13:56Your Grace.
13:57Did they not get the protocol sheet?
13:59Yes.
14:00You obviously didn't read it.
14:02Yes, well.
14:03Shall we?
14:05Uh, Jackie.
14:08Where do you think she's going?
14:10Lord knows.
14:14Mrs. Kennedy.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:22Though I'm not sure when.
14:25Let's drink.
14:27Please.
14:28Sorry, sir.
14:30Bloody shabbles.
14:44My heart goes out to him.
14:47Where does the behind-closed doors over here Khrushchev humiliate?
14:51Ran ring through him.
14:53Treated him like a little boy.
14:55No wonder the Cold War.
14:55It's two nations.
14:57Too many groups.
14:59Calls us to us.
15:01Do my group.
15:07It's such a rad.
15:09I won't vote.
15:16I'm sorry.
15:19I'm sorry.
15:21I'm sorry.
15:29Ah, so, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific. She's divine.
15:36She?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she? Well, then I'll do it.
15:46No, no, it's all right. She asks me.
15:47No, it's my house, so I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Kennedy, you're mine.
15:59You okay there? I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although, people keep telling me the same thing.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign,
16:37various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40But now, it's principally used for receptions,
16:43and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:52Shall we?
16:54Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather, George III,
17:00and he bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife, Queen Charlotte.
17:07Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits.
17:11The younger.
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him.
17:16Crippling shyness.
17:19Apparently, he could barely look people in the eye.
17:23And yet, he became our prime minister.
17:26I quite understand.
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It's a shortcut.
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place.
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable.
17:56Oh, I quite understand.
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to.
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do
18:07ended up in a goldfish bowl like the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic
18:14to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, you have to explain that one to me.
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them.
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far.
18:27And his strong character is often one who enjoys public life.
18:32Thrives on it.
18:34And then before you know it,
18:36the very person you have turned to in order to protect you
18:39is the very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd.
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech-making.
18:50That's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people under the glare of spotlights
18:57than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hello, puppies.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes of being in a position where I have to talk
19:59to a great many people.
20:01But deep down, I'm happiest with animals.
20:04That makes two of us.
20:08I always think my sister would have made, if not the better, the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:18And the greatest of British queens, in her own mind, anyway.
20:30You know, I liked her very much.
20:32And I've been all set to loathe her.
20:34But in the end, I was utterly charmed.
20:38It's a timely reminder.
20:39Of what?
20:40Oh.
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem.
20:43Well, then I don't know what Patrick was talking about.
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Brisson.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Oh.
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter.
21:04When was the last time you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or gallery?
21:08Or even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage.
21:11Oh, thank you.
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner at the Radsevilles last week.
21:19Well, new best friend, Mrs. Kennedy, was also a guest.
21:23He called me this morning to tell me some of the things you'd overheard her say at dinner.
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29I'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32Must say it did seem a little unkind.
21:34I don't know how a reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
21:50General Sonson.
21:53General Sonson.
21:53Retail!
21:55Up!
21:58Shoulder!
21:59Up!
22:02Order!
22:04Up!
22:12Patrick.
22:13Your Majesty.
22:15It's so kind of you to come.
22:20It's really not far.
22:21Are you still just round the corner at Wellington Barracks?
22:23I am.
22:24Are you still travelling up and down the country,
22:26recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools?
22:29That's me.
22:33I gather
22:35you saw the First Lady
22:38at dinner recently.
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy.
22:43Margaret mentioned it.
22:44Did she?
22:45Yes.
22:48So how was that?
22:51Pleasant enough.
22:53Uneventful.
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles.
22:56No, I don't.
22:57Well, the food's always good.
22:59Yes, but I wasn't asking about the food.
23:02What?
23:04I'd like to know what was said.
23:08Patrick, we grew up together,
23:10and we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship.
23:15Yes, ma'am.
23:15Yes.
23:16So, let's not break the habit of a lifetime.
23:22All right.
23:26What I ever heard the First Lady say,
23:30and I should mention,
23:31I was several places along the table,
23:33it's possible that I misheard,
23:37was that she found Buckingham Palace second-rate,
23:42dilapidated, and sad,
23:44like a neglected provincial hotel,
23:48and that one came away with a sense of
23:51a tired institution
23:53without a place in the modern world.
24:00I see.
24:01I see.
24:10And did she have anything to say about me?
24:14Patrick.
24:14I was at the other end of the table.
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were
24:29that in our head of state,
24:31we had
24:32a middle-aged woman
24:34so incurious,
24:38unintelligent,
24:40and unremarkable,
24:44that Britain's new reduced place in the world
24:47was not a surprise,
24:47but an inevitability.
25:05Well...
25:09We must have her again soon.
25:38We must have her again soon.
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid.
25:54Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project, President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians.
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday.
26:10To receive the order of Lenin, highest military honor, from Khrushchev himself.
26:16And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew.
26:20Wish I had an ace up my sleeve.
26:22The way President Kennedy had his First Lady in Paris.
26:39Why don't you send me?
26:44Where?
26:46To Ghana.
26:48On what would be seen as a personal trip.
26:50Absolutely not.
26:51That would be out of the question, ma'am.
26:53Why?
26:55A visit from the Crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment.
26:57Too great a compliment.
26:58It would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation.
27:02In doing so, we risk alienating Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tengen...
27:05But surely by singling out Ghana, that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from the Russians and
27:09in the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps.
27:10But as Queen, you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth, can I not be permitted just once to defend it?
27:17Your Majesty.
27:20It would be unsafe.
27:22It would be provocative.
27:25It would be, in my view, a profound misjudgment to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible that the Queen should be going at all.
27:57What would you have me do?
27:59Nothing?
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him, Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa, playing the Soviets off against the Americans.
28:16And you're a lamb the Lion will have for lunch.
28:20The best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be.
28:24A puppet?
28:25A constitutional monarch.
28:27A puppet.
28:28If you like.
28:29Well, that's the whole point.
28:32I don't like.
28:33I don't like.
28:49Sir.
28:51She's here.
28:53I don't like.
28:54I don't like.
28:55Yeah.
29:06No.
29:11I don't like.
30:19Your Majesty, Ghana welcomes you humbly.
30:24Yes.
30:28We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Bec, Bec, Bec, Bec, Bec, Bec.
30:38Ready.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted.
30:51That'll be on the front page of every African newspaper making every other African leader
30:55joke with Jenison.
30:56Yes.
30:57Well, it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12Hello.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:33Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:43I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana
31:47to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well, I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:59It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:16Elizabeth, what's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:23Ah, ah, ah.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She says she's thinking.
32:34Ah, ah, ah.
32:58Ah, ah, ah.

35:32i believe it's the foxtrot
35:34the foxtrot sir
35:38huh?
35:38thank you
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, the man I am proud to call the 35th President of the United States, but even more
36:29proud to call my brother, John F. Kennedy.
36:39Thank you, Bobby.
36:47What is it to be an American today?
36:51Prosperous? Powerful? Privileged? Certainly.
36:58And yet, it is also troubling.
37:04I look around me and find our people divided as never before. Indeed, it is at no time since our
37:11civil war.
37:12There has been a change, a slippage in our moral and our intellectual strength. Blight has descended on our regulatory
37:23agencies and a dry rot beginning in Washington is seeping into every corner of America.
37:29Too many of us have lost our way, our will, and our sense of historic purpose.
37:37It is time for a renewal, a new generation of leadership, healing leadership, but we cannot do it alone.
37:46And so I am asking each of you to be pioneers in this renewal, in this healing, in the reclaiming
37:55of great American values, freedom, tolerance, and equality of opportunity.
38:01Then we can claim our position and responsibilities as leaders of a truly free world.
38:08God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America.
38:13God bless you all, and God bless you all, and God bless you all.
38:34Thank you. Fantastic.
38:36And, uh, make this evening worthwhile.
38:44Ladies, if you'd like to step over here.
38:47Okay.
38:51Help.
38:56When the British royal family visits the former colony,
39:00it doesn't normally make news in the U.S.
39:03But when Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son...
39:06What's up, honey?
39:07...a white monarch with an African leader,
39:10the world pays attention.
39:12And so too the Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:17Off by the jester, Nkrumah...
39:19I'm going to Glenora with the kids in the morning.
39:22It's not the weekend yet.
39:25It's Wednesday.
39:27It's weekend enough for me.
39:29Don't be like that.
39:32Don't you take away my dignity and then tell me how to be.
39:36I just wanted to thank you, that's all.
39:39For the second time in recent weeks,
39:41you've been instrumental in changing a significant matter of foreign policy.
39:48And an African state that was fast running into the arms of the communists
39:52has been turned around and kept in the West.
39:56Oh, what does that have to do with me?
40:00Dreary queen, thick ankles.
40:04Her majestic dullness.
40:07The incurious crown.
40:10Apparently just some of the things you've said about her at a dinner in London,
40:14which then got back to Queen Elizabeth,
40:16and it seems spurred her on.
40:19Without those insults, she wouldn't have defied her cabinet,
40:23risked her reputation, and gone to Ghana against all advice
40:26to bring President Nkrumah back on side.
40:28But she did.
40:31Pulled off some incredible stunt with a dance,
40:34and it's all thanks to you.
40:36They're ready for you.
40:39Relax.
40:40It's not like you're running to her in Glenora.
40:43Not Glenora, no.
40:45But I am due back in London on my way back from India and Pakistan.
40:49Then my advice would be, don't go to Buckingham Palace.
40:55Sorry.
40:56The provincial hotel.
40:58It's not so easy.
40:59Her sister set up a lunch last time we were in town.
41:02Oh?
41:03Well, that should be fun.
41:06Cat fight.
41:07I look forward to a full report.
41:11Come on, Bobby.
41:12Come on, Bobby.
41:35Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Ghana trip.
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:56So, the New York Times calls it shrewd strategic manoeuvring,
42:03an example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian papers are very impressed with your commitment to the Commonwealth,
42:10and the Illustrated London News, call it an outstanding personal success.
42:16Floating doesn't suit to you.
42:20The Garnetian Press are calling you a socialist.
42:25Oh, goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:37Um, her office has written requesting private audience with your majesty prior to lunch on the 28th of March.
42:44What ever for?
42:46They didn't say.
42:48Where's the lunch?
42:50Parkingham Palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Windsor Castle.
43:06I don't know.
43:12I don't know.
43:25Next Lady, Mr. Kennedy.
43:29You say, I don't know.
43:34I don't know.
43:35On the right strong!
43:36Or the right stock!
43:39For either of the homme orム?
43:59Good afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:03This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty, thank you for seeing me.
44:54Mrs. Kennedy.
44:57Do sit down.
45:11Mrs. Kennedy.
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday.
45:35Because I owe you an apology.
45:38Whatever for?
45:40Mrs. Kennedy.
45:41I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:57I had a social occasion.
45:59Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:04Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09Mrs. Kennedy.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me.
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised, since they in no way reflected what I understood
46:26Mrs. Kennedy.
46:28Mrs. Kennedy.
46:34Mrs. Kennedy.
46:51Mrs. Kennedy.
46:52We barely know one another.
46:55Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse.
46:58But if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an explanation.
47:02Mrs. Kennedy.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07The last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed, at least from the outside,
47:12to be riding on a high.
47:14Mrs. Kennedy.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19Mrs. Kennedy.
47:19Well, the truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of
47:25our son, and Jack had his own health issues.
47:28To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:34So, when we got to Paris, I don't mind telling you, I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace.
47:44Mrs. Kennedy.
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:48Mrs. Kennedy.
47:50I enjoyed it.
47:52But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged behind closed doors.
47:59I can imagine.
48:00Mrs. Kennedy.
48:04There are other factors, too.
48:07Our doctor, Dr. Jacobson, routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances, too.
48:26To help pep us up or calm us down.
48:36on the occasion of that dinner he had given me something a little booster
48:44i told him i needed cheering up
48:47but i guess it loosened my tongue
48:51and then i heard some of these terrible things cut back to you
48:58i can't tell you how much distress it's caused me
49:02the idea that i might have upset someone i admire so much
49:08that's very kind of you to say
49:10it's true
49:12the way you do your job
49:15the way you cope with the pressure
49:17the personal sacrifices you've made
49:21not to mention your composure and dignity
49:27as a woman it's so inspiring
49:31and what you just did in ghana
49:34was just extraordinary
49:41what i should have said
49:43was that i didn't do very much in ghana
49:46i got on a plane
49:48and i went
49:50the only reason i went was because i felt
49:53utterly useless in comparison to you
49:56and i was trying to compete
49:59and if anything
50:01i owe you a huge debt of gratitude
50:06but i didn't
50:09i just sat there
50:12and i let her say her peace
50:14and savored your victory
50:16yes
50:18and what do you want from me now
50:21ticking off
50:22well don't you think i'm deserving of one
50:24no
50:26but she was so broken
50:28and fragile
50:29and lost
50:33you did exactly the right thing
50:37she insulted you
50:39all of us
50:39and you're not a saint
50:41no

50:46there's ice in those veins when there needs to be
50:49yes

52:01people screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard
52:05reporters saw president kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car
52:09men and women were screaming
52:11he saw blood on the president's head
52:14this is all we have here in washington at this moment
52:18and for the moment i return you to radio newsreel in london
52:21hello london
52:22i just heard from dallas
52:24that the president is still alive
52:26but in critical condition
52:28he was apparently shot in the head
52:31and the governor of texas
52:32governor connolly
