@Mike Wallace : 我采访过很多人，但克林特·希尔给我留下的印象最为深刻。他勇敢无畏，在肯尼迪遇刺事件中表现出色，但他一直背负着巨大的内疚感，认为自己本可以阻止悲剧发生。他与我的采访，是他第一次公开谈论此事，他的情绪反应甚至让他自己都感到惊讶。 @Clint Hill : 我在肯尼迪遇刺事件中负有责任，我本可以做得更好，如果我反应更快一些，或许就能阻止悲剧的发生。多年来，我一直将这种内疚感深埋心底，从未与家人或同事谈论过此事。直到与Mike Wallace的采访，我才第一次公开表达我的感受，这对我来说是一种宣泄，帮助我释放了长久以来的压抑情绪。 @Gwen Hill : 作为一名特工的妻子，我理解这份工作的艰辛和压力，也见证了克林特在肯尼迪遇刺事件后所承受的痛苦。我们从未真正谈论过那一天发生的事情，这给我们的婚姻带来了很大的压力。 @Lisa McCubbin Hill : 克林特在经历了多年的痛苦之后，终于找到了新的生活方向，他通过写作和与其他PTSD患者交流来帮助自己和他人。他希望人们记住他尽力了。

Shownotes Transcript

Clint Hill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent on duty the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, has died at age 93. Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace once said that, in all his years as a journalist, very few interviews stayed with him like his time with Clint Hill. During that interview, Hill stunned Wallace -- and the nation -- by admitting he felt responsible for the president's death. Hill would later say it was the first time he had ever spoken publicly about that day, and that his emotional reaction surprised even him. Hill told "60 Minutes: A Second Look" why he spoke so candidly for an audience of millions, and how that interview with Mike Wallace may have changed the course of his life.

This episode of "60 Minutes: A Second Look" originally released in October 2024.
