Show detail Hide detail

This program, broadcast three days after the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, attempts to deal with the more metaphysical questions of leadership, notably its roles and responsibilities. The guests on this special one-hour edition are: American philosopher Sidney Hook; Mark DeWoolfe-Howe, biographer of famous American lawyer Oliver Wendell Holmes and Professor of Law at Harvard University; and Professor Arthur Lower, Canadian historian, formerly of Queen's University. They examine the Kennedy administration and Kennedy's resemblance to other leaders in history, such as Napoleon, Lenin, Hitler, Roosevelt, Hoover, Churchill, Wilson and Jefferson. The discussion flows from the Kennedy administration and the progressive forces it symbolized to definitions of right and wrong and the questions of who and how the morality and collective consciousness of a nation are influenced. Other issues include: how much one leader can be asked to do and should be expected to do; the solitary nature of decision of responsibility; and freedom through confronting and making a choice.~Hook, who has written about political power and personal freedom, is interviewed from NBC studios in New York. DeWoolfe-Howe is interviewed from WGBH in Boston. Lower is interviewed from the Ottawa studios of the CBC.
