the rest were secret service and so it was these people were called modern day paul revere's by the the daily press that they covered this event. so it was it was a major a major day for the church and alexandria where did get out. and the the streets were lined with citizens as well as soldiers. after the service the leaders went down to mount vernon and churchill laid a wreath at the tomb of george and mrs. washington. that itself was a symbol of reconciliation from the revolution, every war. but it was remarkable that during the service, the rector wells had asked the congregation to sing the battle hymn of the republic. and so because the need for unification during that from that war, there was time for us all to come together. so they left mount vernon in the rain in the cold rain, they came back to washington. they stopped at the lincoln memorial and went back to the white house for where churchill was staying. and that evening, they were joined by the ambassadors of the soviet union and china to sign the first declaration of the united nations. and churchill was amazed that his

us really thought for a minute to think where was paul revere was actually going? he's been dispatched, in fact, by samuel adams, his closest associate to warn adams and hancock that they're about to be arrested. and the reason had a revere gets that message is that actually was the order from london. the lord from london to general gage in boston was to arrest them quickly as possible, the essential first act. there was nothing in there with collecting munitions in concord. gage, for whatever reason and i think i know the reason, sends the message with his officers that they are to collect the munitions in concord. he doesn't mention actually arresting adams and hancock, i think would have been too dangerous at that point. 's not eager to detonate a revolution. paul revere goes at night and his message to warn adams and hancock, who not as quickly as they should have finally vacate the par sonnage and hiding in a swamp a few miles from lexington when the shots are fired. paul revere will be on hand. he'll be near the village green at that moment. he'll hear the fir

that's paul revere's son, joseph who was the one who was responsible for providing that to the church. it weighs almost 1,000 pounds. it was installed in a bell tower in november. of 1822. and it's been an continuous use ever since that bell probably is one of maybe 500 left in the entire country, many of whom were not church bells. but nonetheless, that's one of the pride and joys of this church. and it's difficult for anybody to see it on a tour of the narrowness of the access route to the to the bell tower itself. but we have pictures of it and it on the bell revere boston 22. one of the artifacts st john's which we're very proud of. i like to tell you something about, the pews, because there's a connection between, the pews and the presidency and from the time the church was built until, the present, there's always been a pew that's been set aside for the president eyes states whenever he might choose to attend a service at st john's. now 1816, when the church was built we had the box pews, the large box pews with the doors. and when the church fathers went over to meet with presi

sort of apocryphal story of, sybil ludington, who was reputed to have rode further and faster than paul revere to warn her father about the british troops who coming. she were supposed to be 17. and i was like, amazing, perfect story for the book. perfect harmony, the sick thing about writing a book is like every historical fact, you you either immediately embrace or discard based on whether it belongs in the book. so i was like, is great. this is a great place to start. and in trying to track her down, i, i could find anything and in fact the first thing i found was someone saying i don't think she really existed. like she wasn't real. or if she was, she didn't do quite what people said she did and had to go find her grandchildren great nieces had written their own memories of what they thought she had done. and what i found most was how she had been used in speeches by everyone anti-communist to second wave feminist to nuclear disarmament act. this her story had sort of taken on the shape it needed to take on subsequent generations of activists. and it was it turned into a better metaphor fo

that i was trying to figure out when i first started the book from a story of rosie farther than paul revere to warn her father of the british troops were coming. a perfect story for the book in the introduction the sick thing about writing y the book every historical fact you embrace weather belongs in the book. but i was like this is a great place to start in trying to track her down i could barely find anything in the first thing i found i don't think she really missed it, she was not real or if she was she did not do what people said she did and i have to go find her grandchildren and great nieces had written their own memories of what they thought she had done and what i found most was how she had been used in speeches by everyone from anti-communist to second waive feminist to nuclear disarmament activists her story had taken on the shape that it needed to take on for subsequent generations about advocate. it turned into a better metaphor than i could've ever of hoped here's a girl who lived that we know nothing about but she's been really useful for people ever since sometimes that ou

we did paul revere and the raiders. >> stephen: are there recordings of those, you guys doing those coversecording that they made, but that person has not come forward. >> tina: stephen, i was not in that band. >> stephen: you were not? >> tina: no, everybody who wasn't in that band stood in another corner of the room because it was so loud. >> stephen: really? >> tina: it was just so painful. [laughter] >> stephen: and you were an honest critic and they appreciated that. jerry, you were with the modern lovers. [applause] was this the "she's crack" that part? >> jerry: she's crack, code runner. >> stephen: why did you want to be part of this? >> jerry: the modern lovers had broken up, and i was sort of in this limbo. i was actually just entering architecture school. said "well, i don't think i'm going to be in a rock band," and then i met the talking heads and they asked me to join. they actually allowed me to finish the first semester because "i said my parents will kill me if i don't," if i can't go back. so anyway. so i joined in january of '77 but we did a number of shows, and they bra

so you raise some pretty serious concerns since you're like the paul revere of the are passing away. pay attention. you raise some pretty serious concerns about what's to come and are there sort of paths motives that you see or opportunities that you see over the coming decades that that you want to highlight? i think that we have a lot of opportunities in the moment to recognize where we are and what america is doing and what america looks right. you know, i think one of the things one of the central themes of the book really is the overlap of age and race and that is because i believe that a lot of the tension that exists in the moment is foundationally rooted in concerns that immigration and race in particular. and so there's an entire chapter of the book, you know, that looks at, for example the extent to which projections that america will become majority minority are accurate, and it's rooted in you know, the census bureau is really great institution. and i rush to say that because i think they do great work, but they are bounded by the data they collect and they've tried to ma

paul revere would be on hand and you will hear the first shots but not see them.adams and hancock are safely a few miles away. >> host: text message related. would the colonies have declared their independence of samuel adams didn't exist? >> guest: i think it is pretty certain and pretty clear that the colonies were independence bound or bound with some sort of rupture with great britain. what adams does in a way that is dazzling i think is tog articulate what the thinking is to essentially funnel these ideas out of the air, disseminate them and then a stand by them over the course of 14 years when everyone else has deserted the cause and not necessarily decided they are worth looking for so the fact that he insists on these measures i think we owe him a massive debt. others a lot of other people that were ready. >> host: into the relationship between john and john quincy and sam adams? >> guest: he is an immensely good recruiter of menn recognizing talent and one of the earliest recruits is his younger cousin who looks up to samuel in a sort of starry way. they

paul i. soldier's awards are the anin medal and the donation of the order of st. john of jerusalem, but as you know, emperor alexander i did not have much reverence for the actions ofre in 1806-7 alexander i established the insignia of the military order for the lower ranks, later he would be called yegor . the order of st. george had four degrees: the first and second included these stars, they were worn on... lost, yeah, he was definitely to blame for this , so he, as if to say, the wolves were full, the wolves were safe, agreed to fourth degree, and, let’s say, unlike his descendant alexander ii, he tried to shine this order as little as possible. in the first years or even decades , awards were held without bureaucratic delays. a unit or squadron company was given a certain number of crosses, the soldiers decided among themselves who showed more courage, and they could decide that the junior officer was worthy, and the officer was even more proud of such a soldier’s george. if some soldier, unter, managed to receive four medals and four crosses, then this is a complete st. george gang. this, in general, taking into account the fact that this was given only for
