He was interviewed live for an hour on television by CBS'S Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid and Bob Schieffer. He took a 20-hour whirlwind tour to New Orleans that included his landmark speech on Viet Nam at Tulane University of Louisiana, an address to the Navy League of the United States, a hard-hat groundbreaking ceremony for a library at Lake Pontchartrain and a trip...
