clara university professor nancy unger looks at the role of gay bars in american history. >> many closeted gays go to their first gay bar. for example, san francisco's black cat. and in these bars they find out that they're not the only ones, that there are lots of people who are atypical sexually. and when the war is over they don't want trourn to their small towns and their small town closets. many settle instead in the cities where they first experience some self-acceptance. >> and then at 10:30 government policy makers and officials talk about the 1991 nunn-lugar act establishing the formal process of storing, dismantling and destroying soviet nuclear and chemical weapons. >> what we found is that to the russians the nuclear complex was not an inheritance from hell. to them it was the means for the

happened. >> watch "the communicators" monday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span 2. for the next hour a book tv exclusive. our cities tour visits scottsdale, arizona to learn more about its unique history and lit rary life. for five years now we've traveled to u.s. cities bringing the book scene to our viewers. you can watch more of our visit at c-span.org/citiestour. for the better part of two decades my family took a road trip every august to the family farm in thompson, iowa. now, we would leave kingman really early. in fact, my mom would pack the night before. and in the morning at 4:00 a.m. we were up and ready to roll, leaving before light, and i don't think we left kingman, we escaped. and there's nothing more magnificent than to be on the road in those early twilight hours.

i never understood the attraction of route 66 or why it was such a big deal. it was just a road to me. and about four years ago my wife got an assignment in rhoda, spain. and so i went along because i wanted to find the ground zero for the cowboy because i had a theory and the theory was if i could find where the conquistadors emanated from, find their ground zero, i would find the cowboy because it's the conquistadors who come to the americas, they bring horses, they bring cattle, they bring the tradition of branding, they create the cowboy that we celebrate today around the world. so i was in roda, spain, which it turns out was the place that columbus set sail on his second expedition to the united states -- the united states. to the new world. and he left there with boats. so i stood there for about 20 minutes and i finally took it all in and i got ready to leave and i turntd turned around and

on the beach i spied the route 66 bar, in roda, spain. and i thought to myself -- it hit me like a ton of bricks. i went, i get it. they sent the horse. they sent cattle. they sent all the european traditions to us. and we sent them back a legend of a highway. and at that moment i realized this is an international road, a legend, and i lived on it. i grew up on it. when i was a little kid, i was so into old west history and i would read true west in the office during slow times and i would look up and i would go, nothing ever happened in kingman, arizona, this is the dumbest place you could ever live. history is what happened in tombstone, arizona, dodge city, kansas, deadwood, dakota, nothing happened here. well, fast forward, about ten

years ago i got a call from a writer and he said i read about your article of your father's gas station and the arizona highway and i'd like to interview you. and i said, sure. and his first question, the very first thing he asked me is what was it like growing up in such a historic place? the weird thing is i did not know i was growing up on the most iconic highway in the world. to me it was just a road. and my father had a gas station right on route 66 in kingman, arizona and my mother worked for the highway department and in the summer when i was going to college i worked for the highway department in the summer. so i made my living from, it my dad did, my mother. so to me it was just another road. it was just two lane, blacktop, and it was no big deal. of course in the summertime, in my dad's gas station, he had to put on night cruise because it was 24/7 and the traffic was bumper to bumper because

everybody was trying to get to california and here we were the last stop before you get there. well, kingman, arizona is in the northwest quadrant of arizona and it's up in this area that was so unpopulated at the time there was like 5,000 people in the entire county. and this is one of the fifth largest counties in the country. okay? the kids would come to my high school, and they had to be bused in from the outlying ranching areas, in some cases all the the way up toward utah and they would get on the bus in the dark and go home and get off the bus in the dark. that's how isolated this area was. well, when route 66 was really popping in the 1950s here we were, this really isolated area that could barely get television and these cars were coming in from all over the country with these hipster kids and they had inner tubes on the top of the car and people are laughing and everything and we're like whoa,

this is weird. the traffic on route 66 was always a good clip because this was the mother road and this was the road to california. but in the summertime it just got crazy. and my father had to hire extra help and they worked around the clock. my first job was icing jugs because in those days there was no ac. there was no air-conditioning in cars. it's hard to believe today. none. okay? and so everybody had a jug in their car of water and the ice would melt the first ten miles, as soon as they got into arizona. and it was my job to see if they wanted any jugs they wanted ice in. every summer my father would take a vacation. so our idea of fun, my father's idea of fun, was to visit the family farm in iowa. and so my father was that old school you had to get up at 4:00 a.m., we had to get in the car, we had to drive for an hour

before he had to have breakfast, okay in and we were going eastbound on route 66. so we were meeting everybody coming westbound. they're all laughing. they're on their way to disneyland. they're on their way to the beach. and we're norwegians going to iowa and the family farm. so here we are. and all of a sudden i remember looking out the window and there would be these signs that would go all the way across a mesa and they would say, gas, regular, 19.9, clean restrooms, world's largest buffalo. and i would go, dad, dad, can we stop? and we got into new mexico and it got worse. and it said live indians. as opposed to i guess the other kind. i'd go dad, can we stop? whoooo. and i realized my father was not going to stop except for gas, food, oil, maybe open wounds. but he wasn't going to stop, we

had to get to iowa so we could eat five times a day and talk about crops. so on the way back from iowa one year i said dad, you've got to give me one place to stop at on the way back. and he said, well, we will, kid, if we have time. so i started poking him. and my father was driving with his hands in the 10 and 2 popgs and there's a weak spot that runs from the ear down to the shoulder. and i just started poking him, come on, dad, you promised. and he's trying to shake me off. and he's passing 18 trucks at a time. i go come on, you promised me, you promised! and he finally swung that '57 ford into that park lot. and he looked at me and he said, kid, you've got 15 minutes. so those were the most precious 15 minutes of my life. and i went into this museum and i was hooked. in fact, you could draw a direct line from that experience to me owning "true west" magazine because to me it just as so

amazing to see all these -- in fact, it looks like this room. everything you see in here is emlaitding the craft that was on the walls in that museum. i just tried to replicate it in my life. i bought it. it's mine. i got home and put it on the wall, before i can go to school i'd look at that photo. i'm going to have a hat like that, i'm going to have a rifle like, that i'm going to have everything that is in this photo. well, about a week later my mom had to go down to the desert drug, to downtown kingman to get a prescription filled. and i ran up to the front of the office, the store, and there was "true west" magazine. told true stories to the west. so i bought the issue. and while my mom was talking to madge at the prescription department i ran out to the car and i'm reading the magazine and on page 37 i discover that the photograph i bought at the museum when i was a kid was a

fake! i felt so mad now that they sold me a fake photo. it was taken at a parade in 1937 or something like that in santa fe and somebody said hey, george, you look like billy the kid, get up there on that flatbed. so i was so mad now that i missed the beatles on ed sullivan, i missed the hula hoop craze, i missed watergate. why? because i was at the library trying to figure out what wild west heroes and legends were actually true. and that led me to owning "true west" magazine. well, the thing that was so bizarre and ironic, we didn't know it at the time, is one summer in 1967 and then the next summer in 1968 i worked on the bypass of i-40, which became i-40, and i remember them coming through, putting stakes in the ground north of our house and we asked the guys what they were

surveying, and they wouldn't tell us. it was top secret. then later we found out it was i-40 and it went to the south of town coming into town. and i worked on it, and i didn't think any -- i didn't realize we were killing the very thing, we were killing the goose that laid the golden egg, we didn't see that. it was just progress. they were going to cut out 15 niles where it goes to hackberry, it was going to cut straight across there and we thought how super modern is that, we're going to have a new highway and it's going to be wonderful. well, as soon as that highway opened, it was like putting hose clamps at each end of town. when the bypass happened, it just cut off the oxygen. everything in the middle of that died. and i mean died. there were place that's were out of business within a year. some of them it took longer. but they eventually -- in fact, it's sad for me to drive through kingman, the part i grew up in,

because so much of it is so forlo forlorn, torn down. desert drugs where i bought the qush my "true west" magazines is a vacant lot. and that's very sad to me. there's one message that the book has, or that my life has. it's pay attention. we're all looking right at history. i want to reach that 9-year-old boy that i was. i want to reach that boy today and hopefully excite them about the history of our country. >> in collecting, first i'm going though you a book that's in my view not collectible. now, this is the ernest hemingway "old man and the sea." i've had about a dozen copies, some in pristine condition and some in lesser condition. but this is a true first. but it's in poor condition. we simply don't treat it as collectible. first thing, it's not -- in

modern first editions any book that's not price gripped is superior to one that is price gripped. and being price gripped may often be enough to disqualify it as being a collectible item. it has the previous owner's name, which is a negative. the other way you know a first edition of "old man and the sea" it has an a in the scribner's seal. and then there's a blue cast here. and that's typical. and sometimes you'll see the stamp winner of the nobel prize and it's always on later editions. the fact su look at the condition of the book also. no serious collector should be buying this book except as a reading copy. and we use it as a teaching example. it does help us explain some things about collecting. the most marvelous learned man in the period of -- in the period right before charlemagne becomes holy roman emperor. to me we live in a new dark age.

in spite of the proliferation of electronics and all of the things that are -- we use all the time we see people short-changing thought for as you said sound bites. consequently we love the long haul. with books our joy as you've seen in some parts of the shop we have books that are $25 and $30 and $15. then we have books that are in the thousands. we find the right person for the right book or i should say they find it. and in the process we're changed forever. if a book's 150 or 250 years old if it's not in superb condition it's unlikely to be sellable. people say it's 150 or 250 years old. that is not a selling point. second, we want a book of significance. whether it's a 16th century work that was read by the major people in that era or a 19th century work that's also the new point of philosophy, i sold, i

don't have it anymore, i had a first edition of "origin of the species" by darwin, original photographs taken in 1860 and 1861, mavls, with a large size camera that simply -- it was one of a kind. that was my most expensive item. i won't go into that except to say we've had amazing success. we recently sold a major collection with 16th century chaucer and milton. 17th century milton. as a major collection we sold it in black as a major collection. all these were brought to us. people take time to research on rare books. a lot of books you can look at and say i'm sorry we can't use that. 99% of all books in our opinion are not going to be sellable. but the 1% or 2% we do find are the exceptions we love. here is a nicer copy. this is "green hills of africa."

and this is -- again, it's signed by ernest hemingway "with best wishes ernest hemingway." it's not price clipped. this green cast makes it interesting because halfway through production they realized people could not read the printing here because of the green. so they stopped production and they made it all white in the background. now, consequently this is called the first state of the dust jacket, which is even closer for the collector of his classic on africa. on commonplace books that are -- for instance, if you had a book from koms jefferson's library, the library of congress would be eager to buy it because they have his collection in their special collections. if you had a book signed by a major president not in 1950 on probably but if say you had a

book by truman where he inscribed it and said i appreciate what you did and dropping the atomic bomb, even though the book otherwise would be another collectible item, it connects him, we call it an association copy, would transform it. now, here's a nice edition of jack london, and it's not a first but it has interesting aspects to it. first thing, it has a photograph taken by jack london. it's signed jack london. and here as you can see here, this is the dog buck at the bottom of the picture here. are now, beyond that jack london has done an inscription on this page, "dear emma." we don't know if it's emma goldman or some emma that was a friend of his in san francisco. so we can't say who it is. but it says "dear emma, never mind" -- "never mind the new san francisco. here's to the new library. affectionately yours, jack

london." the san francisco earthquake took place like three months earlier. here he's writing in california, june 15th, 1906. and we like this book for its condition and for the marvelous inscription. i'm not aggressive. i don't go out looking for books. fortunately, people bring us books. or they invite us to a really serious library. they will bring in books 16th through the 18th century which we love a great deal. they bring us a rare western document. i have books -- documents on the four walls, not just the documents of edwin curtis, photographs but also documents from the early days of arizona, 1864. everything is brought to us or invited to see it. we don't go out looking for it. i'm sure it's out there. obviously, people bring us things. i would rather have a book scout find something for $10 and bring us something he can charge us $100 for that we can sell for 500 and everybody's happy. here we have a first edition of

"huckleberry finn." we have these protected with nice mylar covers and so forth. this is a true first. the important thing -- it's a beautiful, beautiful copy. in this condition it's highly collectible. plus it has all the points. now, the points are ways you distinguish first editions. and there are so many points on this i'm not going to go into them. but any person who studies jacob plank who wrote the bibl yog rah foyefor american literature can identify them from that alone in most cases. but what's interesting, we have a salesman's prospectus of "huckleberry finn." before and after the civil war one of the best ways to sell books was to get out to the hinterlands and show people the actual books themselves as they're being printed. they're not even fully printed yet. these are scenes from huckleberry finn. and then the salesman would look at the house and he'd say oh, they have a lot of black leather, now, we have a special

edition, we can also print it with this beautiful leather here. and then they would see in the house books that are bound in calf. and they would say, but if you have a lot of calf books we're going to issue this in a beautiful calf edition. the american antiquarian society has over 400 salesman prospectuses. i don't know if they have this one or not. but it's a marvelous copy. and there's a way to study a book's history because it tells you how people were hungry for books. book salesmen going door to door. because mark train was already eminently collectible, they would want to have his book. and in those days they would say for 1.7 5ds you can have it with, for $1.95 you can have it with this binding, i don't remember the prices. and then in the back you can see this is where the people would sign their names and their address and then the style of binding. that's the way books were sold outside of the few bookstores in large cities. the role of the antiquarian book

shop is in a sense to get the best books, not just in terms of rarity and collectability but serious books for the reader. began to see books, if they don't buy a book i'm happy to have serious people who just look at a row of books and for the first time realize there's books on a subject of whatever category they never dreamt existed before. we have a section of books from hawaii to books on watchmaking or -- i think we sold all of those, by the way. but all these obscure categories. it captures in a sense, it captures the diversity of the genius of the people throughout history. >> it was started in 1964 by my parents aaron and ruth cohen. they wanted to open a western history and civil war books store in scottsdale. and the first store was on main

street. and there's a story that when somebody saw what was going in they told my father, well, you're only going to be here six months. and it's now been over 52 years that we've been in scottsdale. guidon brooks is what i believe libby custer, george's wife, wrote three books when she was traveling, or after she was traveling with her husband. and one of the books was "following the guidon." my father was a great custer collector. my mother loved the civil war but also was very enamored with the women in the west. so i'm sure they came up with guidon books. we've got books on western american history. we focus a lot on arizona. of course the southwest indians, apaches and navajo history. a lot of people enjoy reading about tombstone, the wyatt earp

and doc holiday characters, sometimes superstition mountains which are just south of here looking for the lost mines. but they're also interested in cowboys. we've got a lot of early cowboy recollections, how tos. custer again. a great selection of custer. and then the civil war. scottsdale has one of the largest civil war round tables. so we have people interested in the civil war here. we have a small connection to the actual events during the civil war. lincoln created the separate territory of arizona in 1863. he wanted to be sure that our mining properties, the gold and silver stayed with the union. arizona was part of the new mexico territory. it was more leaning toward the confederates. there had been a large texas contingency in there.

they came over, did a little bit of an invasion into southern arizona, had a battle, very small, but it presents an opportunity for arizonans to go and have a re-enactment where there are more soldiers in the re-enactment than in the actual. but people come to arizona to live but they come from somewhere else. and a lot of them maybe this relatives that fought in the civil war. so they are still interested in learning about their family, what they did, and the battles. reading about arizona, because it is such a young state, the 48th state, it also has the combination of being a great fronti frontier. it had the element of hostile indians.

it had the element of mining and lost mines and cowboys and outlaws. you have all of that combination within the past 100 years. and it just provides great stories where people can get interested. but i think guidon is important not only for bringing an avenue for people to read books but also supporting the whole arizona culture. the whole story of march trimble getting his first book published. we're get supporters of the arizona history convention, which puts on an annual event each year. and it just becomes important to get people interested in history, keep them interested, and getting our younger generation interested in reading more. >> you have the right to remain silent. you have the right to a lawyer. if you don't have a lawyer, one will be provided for you.

and everything that you tell me today can be used against you in a court of law. did you understand that? they're called the miranda rights. because the name on the case that came down from the united states supreme court in 1966 was miranda versus arizona. they are as fundamental and essential to justice today as almost anything ever created because they're a product of the fifth amendment to the u.s. constitution. that's where they came from. that's why we have them. and that's what they stand for today. miranda lived here in mesa, arizona. he was born in mesa, arizona. he was a young man in his mid 20s at the time. he was suspected by the phoenix police department of being involved in the abduction and

the robbery and the kidnapping of three different women on three different occasions. all of those occasions happened in downtown phoenix. the pickup, for lack of a better word, was done in downtown phoenix. some of the crimes took place out into the desert. at the time that was thought to be the desert. it's now 20th street and bethany home. it's no longer the desert. it's a major part of central phoenix today. but that's how it started, with being a suspect in those crimes. the police went to his home in mesa, arizona. two police officers. and they asked him if he would come down to the police station in central phoenix. they would drive him down here. they wanted to talk to him about some criminal activity. he wasn't sure what at the time. and he agreed to do that.

so they brought him down here and interviewed him. or interrogated him, depend on your perspective, here in the building we're in today. but the police had no direct evidence of any kind. they had no physical evidence. they had no eyewitness identification. they had no admissions. he was a suspect but they had nothing upon which to base a formal arrest or to charge him. but they asked him for an interview and he voluntarily gave the interview. he was not warned of the consequences of this interview because the law does not require that in 1963. so during the course of talking to him the police officer that was in charge of the case and was the primary interrogator or interviewer at the time, his name was carol cooley, he was then a police detective.

he stayed with the police department, became a captain. alive and well today. still is. in phoenix. and during the course of the interview miranda denied any connection to any of these three cases that the phoenix police department was investigating. he said he was not involved, he didn't abduct anybody, he didn't rape anybody, he didn't rob anybody, he didn't kidnap any wom women. that was his clear statement. so they asked him, detective cooley asked him if he would agree to appear in a line-up. and they would bring in one of the victims or two of the victims, it wasn't quite clear, and if he's telling the truth then they won't be able to identify him. and they had no other evidence. and they were open with him about that. they had no other evidence. so they asked him if he would agree to be in a line-up, a
