The Presidency: B.J. Hollars, "Wisconsin for Kennedy". Author B.J. Hollars revealed how Senator John Kennedy - in a political first - sought to position himself as the Democratic presidential nominee by winning the 1960 Wisconsin primary and creating an aura of inevitability.

American Artifacts: Washington, DC Tidal Basin & Cherry Blossoms. Every spring, thousands of people visit the Washington, DC Tidal Basin to see the cherry blossoms. Memorials to Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, Jr. stand on its banks. The Tidal Basin started as an engineering project, but has also served as a swimming hole, a protest ground, and the scene of a political scandal. Mike Litterst, National Mall and Memorial Parks communications chief, met us on site to talk about the area's history and famous Japanese cherry trees.
