American Presidency: The Men and the Office, May 21 - September 21, 1974
Abstract
From the program announcement: "'The American Presidency: The Men and the Office' is one of the most ambitious and timely programs ever presented on early morning television. This 54 part CBS television series focuses on what has become the most important political institution in the contemporary world." "The personality of the man and the demands of the times have shaped the office. Woodrow Wilson once observed about the person who assumes the presidency, 'his office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.' Recent events have challenged this bold assertion of power." "By presenting the viewpoints of leading historians, political scientists, journalists, and other national figures, this series will explore the multifaceted dimensions of the American Presidency."
