Jackie Kennedy's time in the White House was short--35 tumultuous months that promised a new dawn for America but were marked by private betrayal and public tragedy. Using rarely-seen personal letters, photographs, and intimate audio recordings, the episode reveals how Jackie took control of JFK's legacy in the days following his assassination.

Nancy Reagan is popularly known as the doting wife of President Ronald Reagan, but in reality, she had much more than a supporting role in the first 'Hollywood' presidency. From Ronald Reagan's first campaign for the White House in 1980, to his Cold War ending triumph in 1987, Nancy Reagan was calling the shots behind the scenes.

Eleanor Roosevelt and former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created arguably the most formidable political partnership in American history. Eleanor's desolate childhood sowed the seeds of a life devoted to standing up for the poor and dispossessed.

The Johnson administration enacted the Civil Rights Act, one of the most prolific legislative programs in U.S. history--but it likely wouldn't have succeeded without Lady Bird Johnson's steadying presence.
