the ripley name continues over the generation. you can see that influence that he had as a minister and town leader as well. ralph waldo emerson was born in 1803 in boston, massachusetts. he is a local boy. he spent his life in the city, but for a brief time, he also came over to the old manse when he came over when he was around 12. he continued to visit the property throughout his life. when he wrote "nature" in 1834 when he and his mother came for a visit, the reverend ezra ripley was here as well and he was becoming elderly. they cared for him for a brief time as well. emerson, even though he was born he was in this area and it was a home for him. in 1834, he comes here and puts himself in the upstairs study, which at that time was also a bedroom he stayed in. and that is where he wrote the first draft of "nature." he came briefly for nine months where he was here in the house and overlapped with ezra. this early vision of looking out continued with the people who lived and worked in this room, including with emerson who sat ,

let's bring in cnn's will ripley monitoring the latest live from tokyo. will?> reporter: dave, this is a message that had been reiterated to me when i was in pyongyang and now out of pyongyang. the north koreans feel now is not the time for talk with the united states. they listened to the threats from president trump directly including the speech at the united nations general assembly when the u.s. said they could destroy north korea and also coming up with the rocket man nickname for kim jong-un which was infuriating, really hitting the north korean establishment to the core hearing that kind of an insult from the president of the united states. they feel the only way they can communicate right now with the trump administration is to, in their words, send a clear message, and that message being that they possess an effective nuclear deterrent. an intercontinental ballistic missile that can travel to new york on washington. they would have to launch a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile, see how far it can go and show the world. we've seen other miss
