An Unfinished Love Story PDF
Dick and Doris Goodwin were married for forty-two years and
married to American history even longer. In his twenties, Dick was one
of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier. In his
thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society
and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns
was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White
House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted
on his memoir.
Over the years, with humor, anger, frustration,
and in the end, a growing understanding, Dick and Doris had argued over
the achievements and failings of the leaders they served and observed,
debating the progress and unfinished promises of the country they both
loved.
The Goodwins’ last great adventure involved finally
opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries,
documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty
years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal
time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a
decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a
difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and
economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested.
Their
expedition gave Dick’s last years renewed purpose and determination. It
gave Doris the opportunity to connect and reconnect with participants
and witnesses of pivotal moments of the 1960s. And it gave them both an
opportunity to make fresh assessments of the central figures of the
time—John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert
Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly
impacted both their lives. The voyage of remembrance brought unexpected
discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the
hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love
story with America.
