lee fought back. lee was prepared to abandon petersburg on september 30 if necessary to save richmond, yet he did not yield to such likely danger but battled back and saved both cities. through such biting tenacity, oh the prolonged the security of his supply lines, his army, and his country for another nine. months. at the end, he eventually came, and all was lost. the graycoats held onto petersburg for too long. i do not blame leave for this decision or this outcome. he did not become general in chief of all confederate armies until february of 1865. too late to affect the course of the war. the decision to remain in richmond rested with the government. as a professional soldier of the confederate republic, lee loyally carried out government policy. there is an aspect of perseverance, however, where lee may be criticized. unlike grant who learned from experience, the virginian continued fighting in ways that had worked well earlier in the war but were no longer applicable in the mid-1864. unlike at

the commission answered unequivocally lee harvey oswald.s he a member of a conspiracy? the commission answers he acted alone. >> the media had all concluded that this was the most exhaustive investigation, case closed. oswald did it alone. >> the commission concludes that three shots were fired. all of them from this sixth floor window in the texas school book depository. >> the reaction to the report initially was very positive, but that didn't last very long. >> this book is the number one best seller on the nonfiction list in the country "rush to judgment" by mark lane. it's gained a vast number of readers in the recent groundswell of skepticism about the findings of the warren report. >> you're accusing chief justice warren and that group of notable americans -- you're accusing them of deliberate malfeasance. >> you are part of the media which prevented the american people from finding out what happened. >> you are alarming the american people! >> i say the american public should be alarmed. >> the public had been kept in the dark for s

the plan in place and successful as it's been and further as that was not enough last year mayor ed lee accountant a task force to look at the infrastructure out of the process they've recommended $3 billion of new local revenues to invest in the transportation system not only to accommodate all the growth the cranes in theization i sky but to invest in our core system $3 billion of new revenues i can imagine it being the transportation director in a city and the mayor comes and brings together with $3 billion to invest in the transportation city it doesn't get much better than that fortunately i don't think he's on the market we're happy he's our mayor please join me in welcoming the mayor of the city and county of san francisco mayor ed lee (clapping) >> thank you for that kind introduction everyone good morning. welcome to san francisco. >> good morning. >> actually, the last couple of weeks ago people have being coming up to me and saying are you i say yes, sir. i'm travis to i'm mayor travis for a few weeks anyway, i want to say thank you, ed very much fewer leadership not only as

he was not able to give lee as many troops as lee hoped for in that invasion but did give the entire support for that even though some members of the cabinet wanted to weaken lee's army and send divisions to tennessee to deal with those threats. that is the third high point for davis and confederacy. maybe one more is the summer of 1864 when davis is actually in the battlefield of virginia as grant and butler are closing in on richmond. the cost of the war in virginia is causing an upswelling of sentiment in the north and it looks like lincoln is going to be defeated for re-election and at least the democrats on the peace platform will win the presidency. >> host: i do believe lincoln's note. i think there was a time he thought he was going to lose. >> guest: no question about it. here is how the confederacy could have quote unquote merely won the war by holding out and not loosing. so while i don't think davis necessarily saw this as a high point in the same way that the actual victories, back in 1861, 1862 and 1863 were high points, nevertheless, the outlook appeared promising beca

lee wrote away from arlington house for the last time. apart from richmond dressed in a black suit with a silk hat atop his head. two days later he formally accepted command of virginia's military force. now neither lee or his wife could know how dearly the decision would cost them. one of its consequences would be the loss of the custis mansion now better known as arlington house. arlington strategic capital meant that the union simply had to take it over for military reasons. union soldiers proceeded to chop down old growth oak, elm and chose not to build barracks and to burn wood as firewood to keep them warm in the cold weather. they constructed earthworks and access roads over the once pristine agricultural landscape. a hospital was constructed on the property and in 1863 the southern portion of the state became a freed man's village for thousands of runaway slaves. soon enough it also became a barrier ground -- burial ground and today it's the centerpiece of arlington cemetery with the same panoramic view of the capital. and i think

the community members that have remained steadfast and the next person you'll here from is mayor ed lee he'll share with you his vision after the mayor maria sue between many meetings she and i have met to late out a specific strategy and services that happening happens at 66 raymond mr. mayor thank you for being here (clapping.) i think we want to make sure many have translations let me say something in chinese okay. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> cowen - raymond all right. i just said to them that supervisor cohen just announced that the 66 raymond street has been gifted to san francisco government so that we can in turn use it according to what supervisor cohen has explained for all the community uses and the seniors here that are gathered are here know this is an important thing you saw them clap they've been for years wanting to make sure they've expanded the services limited at 50 raymond to now the other side of the courtyard filled with the capacity services of the city i know that supervisor cohen has think been here for quite some sometime and through her leadership that d

that lee harvey oswald acted alone in killing president kennedy. the warren commission worked for nine months in this building, the washington office of the vfw, a short walk from the supreme court building and the u.s. capitol. we set up a camera in a fourth floor conference room to talk to investigative journalist philip shenon, whose book "a cruel and shocking act" examines the warren commission's work, using key phone calls, documents and artifacts, mr. shenon explains the lingering controversies regarding the war and the report. but first we take a brief tour of the former warren commission offices. >> hi, i'm brian summers, marketing director for the u.s. capitol historical society. you're in the building of the foreign wars. the commission met here for approximately nine months. we're in catch them hall, a room where the testimony from the witnesses and those substantial to the investigation met here in this historic building itself. it was in this room here on this floor of the hall that the wavrn commission saw for the very first time the

my name shau lee. i'm a licensed child-care provider. i have been working in this field for 16 years. i raised many children and some of them already are in college. seeing them grown up well and in good state and in well-being, i'm very grateful and happy -- [speaker not understood] there has been several openings of cannabis clubs in the mission. as far as i know, within a thousand feet of any school, there cannot be any marijuana establishment and also within 500' there cannot be any shops that sells tobacco. >> thank you, your time is up. >> translator: my name is jenn seng wong. i reside in the mission. i wish that please do not open another one, there are just too many. there are schools and there are many child-care facilities. you know, being a parent, or being parents, we should all think on behalf of our kids. our children are our future pillars of our society. they are not the contrary. also since the opening of these cannabis clubs the air quality in our neighborhood has been affected. please consider this matter and do not l

the commissioners pictured here concluded that lee harvey oswald acted alone. the warn warren commission acted here for nine months. we set up a camera to talk to a local author using key phone calls, documents and art facts some of the lingering controversies regarding the warn report but first we take a brief tour of the former officers. >> hi, i'm brian summers. >> so much testimony from the witnesses and those essential to the investigation met here in this historic building itself. it was in this room here on this floor that the warren commission saw for the first time the entirety of the committee. would have taken place down here at that time and mid may of 64, lee harvey os wald's brother was here. and we have photographs to subs stanceuate that here in the building. much of the work was done on the forth floor. we're now on the fourth floor where in 1964 this would have been the working floor for the warren commission. this would have been his decembering and chair. >> you're pretty sure this was his chair? >> absolutely. we have authentic information

. >> meet christina lee. she's a hometown faithful from san jose, california and she decided to make a journey from new york to san francisco inch by inch, step-by-step, mile by mile for a great cause. before she hit the open road her faithful story started where all stories do. >> i remember her moving because i would get very much into the games and very nervous and i remember her kicking me smiles when i was yelling. like i need to take it down just a notch. she was probably reroute inside >> even before they entered this world she was bound to route for the red and gold. her parents were second generation 49er fans. >> i was just born into it. i inherited. some are queens, i'm just a 49er-faithful. >> all the kids have 49ers gear. >> we would be decked out head to toe. if we were playing packers we would wear a cheese grader. >> she had cow cow on her lap in that little red sweatsuit cheering her heart out and explaining football to cow-cow and feeling so endeared by how faithful and how much she loved be

and my assumption is lee knows this is going on. maybe he is incapable of doing anything about it, which of course raises a different kind of lost cause history question, the incompetent general lee. but i think he does know what is going on and is competent and does not have any problem with this. but i preempted your question maybe, or was that it? >> therefore he is culpable and should have been executed? >> i think it is reasonable they could have put him on trial for this. i don't think they would have. i think politically it would not have happened -- i think certainly bedford forrest is so clearly more culpable and could have been put on trial and could have been executed and would have deserved it. again, we're talking about how you bring the war to an end. one way of bringing the war to an end is to have a soft piece. -- soft peace. everybody at this conference has talked about the catastrophe of the soft peace. if lincoln was president, would it have been better? i do not think the ku klux klan would've been any different

lee you said? >> that's right.lf comfortable. >> i contacted the cia said he visited the cuban embassy maybe the soviet embassy as well. >> you think he is some kind of a spy? >> i think he may have gone back to dallas i am not sure. >> i will try to find this oswald fella. >> ruth payne? >> yes? can i help you? >> i am special agent federal bureau of investigations. i am looking for lee oswald. you mind if i come in? >> yes, please, come in. >> they are friend george introduced us and marina and i became friends. she and lee had their problems i went down to new orleans brought her back here to have her baby. >> mr. oswald is still in new orleans? >> no, he lost his job there. >> keeps some of his things in the garage he sees his girls but marina doesn't want him. >> why does he work? >> at the texas school book depository. marina this is fbi agent. >> fbi? >> he is not here to harm you. >> our job is to protect you. >> you find oswald? >> sort of. i don't know where he is living but i know where he is working. >>

the seconds item that you requested is lee harvey oswald's address book. so, this is a custom-made container made by our conservation staff. and, again, this is acid-free. this is mylar. they have this handy little lift so you can get it out of its well without having to pull on it. you can see there's a commission exhibit number on there. commission exhibit 18. and it has all of his handwritten items, including a map, addresses and telephone numbers. as you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination. and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the fbi and eventually the warren commission as well. on this side of the map they have a sort of smaller map with tourist spots, which are identified on this side. as can you tell, certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we wouldn't add anything like that. the backside is a larger map. again, with several items circled. i had found in secondary sources people have written that these --

director lee. and actually, that context in history was really helpful, especially for some of us who have ever been involved for as long, as you have. and just to say a couple of things, and i hope that we can hear this again, next month just because we are on a pretty expedited time schedule on this you. i think for my frame, our regional partners and you know that we have to come up with the compatibility policy, and coordinate and developing the technical and operational solutions, and we should look at the cost benefit and analysis for the entire system as director lee mentioned, and not just optimize one operator at the expense of the other and i guess that both operators have the same goals and are looking at lowering costs and looking at the broadest swath of bids, and it seems like, you know, they are the same for the different platform and inches and hopefully that we can come to some resolution, because there are some urgency, to allow the cal train to move forward, and of course, we hav

back with lee munson, kerry sheffield and tracy byrnes, lee, what do you think?he sell-off was overdone, i said last week friday was the bottom. we had a hangover monday. people were so freaked out and so many short sellers trying to manipulate the price of oil. oil is down by 50%, but commodities like lumber, copper, industrial metals were down double digits, we don't have the global demand problem that oil would suggest. so i think that the increase in the market we've seen is very good for the market. i think it's well received. i say you have to buy it. today you can commit capital. dave: we have oversupply of oil, the saudis continue to produce it, talking about oil in just a second. lee brings up interesting point. some of the market moves whether on the plus or negative side are not due to fundamentals. covering shorts. we're getting away from the fundamentals. >> exactly, i was a former moody's analyst, we're all about the fundamentals. 2014 has been a good year, you look a year ago, 2013 was a great year as well in terms of the stock market. i'm not so c

coming up next, in a previously recorded segment, author lee craig takes viewer calls on changes made to the u.s. navy during world war i under the leadership of secretary of the navy josephus daniels. >> mr. craig, thank you so much for joining us on "american history tv."e: >> thank you for having me. >> i want to start with the man that president woodrow wilson piccp#> well, daniels was a newspaper editor. he owned "the raleigh news and observer," and the short answer to how he became secretary of the navy is politics. the longer answer is that he had been an important player at the national level for the democratic party. he had been a member of the democratic national committee for 20 years. more specifically he had played an important role in helping wilson get nominated and then also in helping wilson get elected. and so wilson came to see daniels not only as an important political figure but also as a valuable personal aide, and he wanted him in the cabinet, and in anticipation

her name is lily lee. and when i come and speak before you i don't see you with pencils where you can take notes. what i think you really need to do is contact lily lee because the actions that you all are taking is not the actions that should be taken . there is a lot of problems in my community of bayview hunters point and you are not aware that bayview hunters point is the most toxic area? >> san francisco. how you vote, you vote continually for things to happen there. i want to say this to you: there was a map date of birth in -- done in the 60s of the area and when those areas were supposed to be turned over to the city. that has not been done by this committee. no. 1. the map has been redone. a, was from mru and griffith to navy road and the shipyard and in back where the public school was on the hill, that was section a, b, was where we used to meet and it was a restaurant. what's been happening here. i left at the last meeting because i saw how you were all going to vote. you were going to vote yes

i was really caught up. >> lee's childhood neighborhood was riddled with gangs.lee joined up when he was barely in his teens. >> not listening to my family. not listening to mom. thinking i knew everything. running with the wrong crowd. i put my homeys before my family. and that's all i knew was my homeys. homey this. homey that. >> lee told us, despite being shot five times and serving a prior prison sentence, he couldn't give up gang life. then, his story took a turn. it had to do with recruiting his younger brother into the gang. >> when i was growing up, i never thought i would get past 21. i want my brother to get the same exact respect i was getting from the neighborhood so, when i'm gone, my brother gets the same respect. don't worry about nobody trying to bully him. just trying to run over him or the family. nowhere near my thoughts what's going to happen to him. >> while lee was locked up in corcoran, his little brother decided to turn his back on gang life, but on the streets attempting to leave your gang could lead to a death sentence. >> they walked u

lee will do it from the same spot.nd the 10-yard line. 8.ll back it up to the 3:38 to play. lee has placed two of his three punts inside the 20 tonight. high kick. this one ricochets to the end zone. the chargers catch a break. san diego will have it at the 20. 41-yard punt but a net of 21. the chargers at 8-6, one game behind pittsburgh and baltimore. cincinnati is 9-4-1. and the chargers are tied with kansas city and buffalo. still in the hunt. two wins does not ensure them a playoff spot. they would still need help. dan: even a loss tonight doesn't mean they're totally eliminated. they would need a lot of help if they win tonight. ian: could still make the playoffs with a 9-7 record. they're at kansas city to wrap up the regular season next week. 35-28, san francisco. chargers with the football. first and 10 at their own 20-yard line. 3:30 to work with. flag is thrown. rivers fires. low. for gates. incomplete. offsides. dan: yep. niners lining up in the neutral zone. referee: offside, defense number 96. five-yard pe
