court orders. when the court ordered it to be done. and he knew he had george wallace on the other side. and if he did not get the federal government to enforce his orders they will run him out of the state. so he has designated the government in a lot of cases, and that was particularly true in our case of lee fee and make in which segregated all of pistols and alabama. it started out as a single school system and the governor decided to close it down rather than let it be integrated inserted all private school movement. i decided if he could close one's cooled down been active and him as a party at the state board of education as a party, i the superintendent is a party and ask the court to desegregate everything in this state not under court order and they did

it. i see all these markers of here. i've never seen you in the march. in the only time you see me in one is a ceremonial one. the march is held, the speech itself. but for those things in broadcasting that have taken place it would have meant that we probably have not been -- with the but the remarks had not taken place with pro it would not have had the voting rights act to amend you know the good things that have come notwithstanding what the supreme court did.

it takes all of these things. it is doing to take the state government, federal government accounted government, social clubs, churches, and everybody to really work on it. until such time as we'll decide we're going to really work on it and work on an art we're going to still have a problem because this nation has never really lived up to and tried to solve the race problem, and i hope it will.

>> here is a look at some books being published this week's. in days of fire bush and cheney in the white house, peter baker, senior white house correspondent for the new york times examines the working relationship between the former president and vice-president

>> here is another one for you. the most educated president we ever had. i hesitate to say he was the most intellectual. i will not forget thomas jefferson standing here in washington d.c., but i will tell you, woodrow wilson attended will was then the college of new jersey in princeton. he graduated in 1879. his aspirations then -- he had political dreams already. it great aspirations to become, as i discovered going through his papers because he had once made of the business card, homemade business card that said thomas woodrow wilson, senator from virginia.

and that was the dream. the way to achieve it was to become a lawyer because most presidents began their professional lives as lawyers. also, as you notice, senator from virginia is virginia had sent more men to the white house than anyone in history. wilson went to the university of virginia law school. he studied law, did not like it so much, but after a year to the move down to the atlantic, opened a law office and was really a terrible lawyer. in his year or two down there he attained no clients. he loved spending the afternoons reading. he read a lot of history. he created new discipline in this country, political science.

he read a lot about politics, government, economics, history, and how they were melded into this new thing called political science. and after wilson realized he was not making a living as an attorney in atlanta he decided he was going to go to graduate school. one very good thing came out of his atlanta years and that was he had one big piece of business as a lawyer, and that was something that his family had thrown to him. there was some piece of property that needed some contracts done, legal work. so he went to georgia where he was tying up loose ends and where he, a presbyterian ministers son met a woman named ellen lou erickson who was a presbyterian ministers daughter. the two of them fell in love and had a real old-fashioned 19th century court should.

a little more extensive than most because wilson, although he was desperate to marry her realize did not have the resources to do it just yet. they had an engagement that went on for several years during which time they exchanged thousands of letters. no, let me restate this. they exchanged thousands of love letters. i mean, this is one of the most romantic correspondences that has ever been put down on paper. i'm not forgetting the adamses, not forgetting the burnings. this is really very occasionally rather hot stuff in fact. many of you can picture woodrow wilson. the fact of the matter is he was this incredibly passionate,

intensely emotional man. and all of this comes out in these letters. >> you can watch this and other programs online. >> programs to watch this weekend on book tv. we bring you a few interviews centaurs from book tv recent visit to europe pennsylvania. also this weekend a look at the smartest kids in the world with amanda ripley. at 11:00 p.m., john lot talks about his book visit booktv.org for this weekend's television schedule. >> from the 13th annual
