was fundamental for the commission to see the site and speak to police and speak to witnesses. so we ended up doing that, and in order to avoid the press from following us or anybody that might want us harmed, we decided to, on a ploy putting in a program that we would go at 3:00 in the afternoon the next day, and we ended up going at 5 a.m. in a convoy. and it was all fine and good until we arrived there, and the police put, located about, you know, two blocks a perimeter so that nobody could access the place where we were. and, but we saw people, you know, like two blocks away, and we couldn't find out. one of the commissioners was the former deputy police chief for ireland told me you know who they are? i said, i don't know, can't distinguish. they're journalists. of.

capitol had prevailed. and the two buildings were going to coexist in one capitol complex. but how exactly the historic capitol would be restored to was then the debate. it wasn't whether we save it or not, it was what time period shall we restore it to. and the 1902 version offeredded great benefits because all three branches of government were in this one building, and the goal of the department of state was to turn it into a museum and use it as a teaching tool for florida school children. so being able to come to this one site and see the supreme court, the governor's office and the house and senate chambers and understand the three branches of government and how they worked together really was a benefit. >> next weekend booktv and american history tv take a look at the history and literary life of florida's state capital, tallahassee, on c-span2 and 3. >> here's a look at some of the best selling nonfiction books according to "the new york

subtle way how this program began. so you have these military intelligence officers learning about hitler's nerve agent programs that we did not know about, learning about hitler's biological weapons programs that we did not know about. interviewing the scientists and trying to find out all that we can. but also you see decisions being made. and that real decision comes down to this: should this scientist be hanged, or should this scientist be hired? >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> next on booktv, from the seventh annual savannah book festival in savannah, georgia, mike ritland discusses his book, "trident k9 warriors." this is about 45 minutes.
