if you look at the papers of andrew johnson, many more letters to andrew johnson than andrew johnson to other people. that is a problem for a biographer right there. we don't have his inner voice. with jefferson you have 18,000 letters he wrote over a period of his life, and other documents. even though he remains an in a glut to lots of people there is enough there to craft what he is thinking or feeling and who he was. we didn't really have it to the same extent and the letters we have that show when he is a young man lots of misspellings and phonetics spellings of things and it is difficult to wrap your mind -- for me it was difficult to wrap my mind around who he really was. you just don't have the record you would typically have. not just jefferson but other people who were president. just not there. that is a big problem. because we don't have lots of his letters and there's not a huge repository of him explaining what he is doing we don't have a lot of stories about him. there's another biography, the principal biographer of andrew johnson unfortunately died last year. i was h

andrew johnson had the hostility towards african-americans. you think about the story and tell in the book of what it meant to have a person who was so personally hostile to african-americans is not something that was unusual. it was the currency of the time but he in particular had great amounts of animosity towards african-americans and yet he was in charge of figuring out how these were going to be brought into citizenship and he was quite recalcitrant. for he had come into office as a loyalist to the union. once he becomes president it is almost as if he reverts to vis other. the southerner in him comes out-basically believe blacks should have political rights. he did not believe that. he believes america was the white man's government and it would remain a white man's government as long as he had anything to do about it. he comes into office. there were high hopes for him because he talked about punishing traders. when the war was going on he was giving speeches and being very harsh on southerner is saying trees and must be punished. so p

the r&d tax credit that andrew talked in his interview. i'm very proud and pennsylvania during my time as governor we quadrupled our are indeed credit. but i don't know if i'll do understand. we don't have a permanent federal r&d tax credit, and that's a big disincentive to business growth here in the united states. i had this interview, and andrew was asked the question about china. "glee" our biggest competitor, -- august the our biggest competitor. and he still attempt to manufacture comp what is china getting right that united states is not? that was the question. and andrew reply, the chinese do, not just the chinese but other countries i referenced in the book, which you all want to buy, such as germany, is a very holistic approach to manufacture. it's a strategy. basically they say manufacturing is a vital part of my economy. it employs people, pays great wages. so that the country strategy. they approach it as a country. those of us who are free marketeers would say that's a government interference. i don't see it as government int

>> it's a pleasure to be and this is a labor of love we introduce our speaker today i got to know andrew when into a process he contacted me and we worked out in number of different things and of course any time a local company that's brought up by an national with this case international company if you're the mayor or governor you are worried that the debts of the company's common to be taken elsewhere and there's quite a contract rather than expansion and first of all was honest and said there's going to be some short-term for pennsylvania this is a great opportunity for growth and he has lived up to his word in the very short period of time and he's not interested in losing jobs for america or for dow, but gaining jobs and the right type of jobs which is why he is here today. he's been there for 34 years. i think most of you know dow is a 54 billion-dollar company that sells special chemicals, plastics and advanced materials and is an extraordinary company that is in most major countries of the world and cells to virtually every country in the world. andrew is an alcee by birth and ve

uncut andrew and justin welcome to the program. thank you very much good to be here great to see you guys i actually this morning before i got up a little better i was six thirty or seven in the morning i was reading the a.p. news and i thought and there was the story from g.e. and i almost forward it to my producers go and they look to those who had to do this. or that let me check this you know more later. but that was the original that was when they he was reporting you know as a why did you guys do this and how did you do it. i think that you know to put it simply we weren't hearing what we wanted to hear from g.e. so we decided to say it for them and g.e. has paid no taxes in the last year and billions and billions of dollars in profits and in fact they're getting a tax refund from the u.s. government this year and so we just basically wanted to say listen we appreciate the tax refund but we want to give it back to you and we know that america needs it right now and we want to let you decide how we're going to give it back to

so if you look at the papers of andrew johnson, their are many, many more letters to andrew johnson did enter chancing to other people. so that poses a problem for a biographer ratepayer. we don't have this inner voice. whichever city of 18,000 letters he wrote over the period of his life and other kinds of documents and other things. even though he remains an innate lead to lots of people, there is still enough there to sort of some sense of what he's thinking, what he's feeling in who he was. john finn was at a disadvantage because we don't have that to the same extent and the letters we have the show when a show lots of missed telling, lots of phonetic spelling for things and it's difficult to wrap your mind -- it was for me, difficult to wrap my mind about who he really was because we just don't have the kind of record you would typically have, not someone i jefferson, but other people who are present, so that's a big problem. because we don't have lots of letters and there's not a huge repository of him explaining what he's doing, we don't have lots of stories about him. there's an

. >> controllers at andrews tried to increase the distance, asking the pilot if mrs. obama's plane executive 1 information trot to make a series of five s-turns to slow down. but even after the c-17 landed at andrews, controllers still weren't sure that plane would clear the runway in time for mrs. obama to land. they asked her pilots to take a lap around the airport before touching down. government officials insist that at no time was the first lady ever in danger. even so -- >> you would think with the number of controller errors that we've seen in the past few weeks and months, that controllers would be much more in tune with not making mistakes and be much more up on their game. here we have the first lady coming in to land and the controller makes a very fundamental, very simple mistake. >> reporter: already this week, the government has taken one small step, adding an extra hour between shifts, hoping it will help controllers catch their breath. for "nightline," i'm lisa stark in washington. >> the friendly skies. thanks to lisa stark for that. >>> just ahead, w

veeco host: andrew tabler?st: i did not know what the best method would be to deal with iran on's nuclear program. sanctions on the work to a certain extent. i think it is the assessment of the united states and israel that the pro-iran program -- that the timeline has changed. you have more time. a lot of people in the region are watching this. it has strategic implications as well for lebanon and israel, in that very clearly, hezbollah, which works on behalf of a ram, is saving their stockpiles of long-range weapons. they are locked and loaded when it comes to missiles and it creates a very dangerous situation that could be set off by an accident, or by a desperate syrian leader who is trying to hold onto power and decides to start a problem with a neighbor. host:" the new york times" frontpage -- host: lets go hartford, michigan. mike is a republican. good morning. mike, you have to turn the television down. kirk, an independent in tulsa, oklahoma. caller: the question i would like to ask is why is there thi
