I came to understand and feel much more respect for the speaker that JFK had become, the inspirer that he was,

and Dick of course remembered those extraordinary moments with LBJ that he had almost forgotten

because he had turned against him on the war.

So in the end those arguments were softened for that and they'd really been arguments for most of our

42 years of marriage.

We both were loyal to our guys.

Meet L.B.J. and him to J. Okay. I call them our guys.

That's Doris Kearns Goodwin.

She's not just a Pulitzer Prize- winning presidential historian.

She's charming and fun and she tells stories that are personal enough

to make you feel you know the people she's telling you about.

In her new book she's even more personal because she's in the story.

The book is called an unfinished love story and it tracks the momentous events of the

1960s, while she and her husband, Richard Goodwin, were in the rooms where it happened.

DARS, I love this book.

It is so filled with wonderful stories that are so personal and an account of history that you don't often get.

That's one of the things I love about your work. I've always regretted that the histories I've read

or an account of who won what wars rather than a look at the people who lived

that history. But yours is always personal but here never more so than this because you

lived part of the story and so did your husband Richard Goodwin.
