Sunday, May 6 (11 a.m.)

Curt will stage an exclusive interview with Robert Pierpoint, long-time CBS Television White House correspondent. Pierpoint covered U.S. Presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to Ronald Reagan, and reported on the Kennedy Assassination, Viet Nam, Watergate, and the Camp David Accords.

Among the questions that will be asked:

  • Why are the 1950s recalled so fondly as a time of peace and prosperity?
  • What accounted for John F. Kennedy's popularity with the national media?
  • Without Viet Nam, how would Lyndon Johnson be remembered?
  • Why did the press and Richard Nixon hate one another?
  • Was Gerald Ford right to pardon Nixon?
  • Why is the Carter Presidency generally dubbed a failure?
  • Did Ronald Reagan, as Margaret Thatcher said, "win the Cold War without firing a shot"?
  • What kind of a start has George W. Bush made as President?
