subject of the book is touched on in one of these speeches, the speech i gave at ohio university in athens. i got very involved in the history of ohio when i was writing my book about the wright brothers. a really fascinating aspect of the american story when you think of who came from ohio and how relatively fast ohio produced so many remarkable people. more of our presidents then come from any other state, thomas edison, the wright brothers. if you include the northwest territory, which is what much of the book is about, you have abraham lincoln, and it goes on and on. the northwest territory was a subject i knew nothing about, and briefly, the northwest territory was seated to us -- was ceded to us by the british at the end of the revolutionary war and the treaty of paris in 1783. it was a brilliant stroke of genius on the part of john adams and others who were the diplomats at that occasion. what they ceded to us equal in size the entire area of the original 13 colonies. we doubled the size of our country geographically, physically, with one stroke of the pen. and there was nobody exce

>> i think the trap that graham has spoken to, going back to athens, and sparta and the tensions thatween strong powers and rising powers is best thought of as a hugely relevant warning, not as an inevitable prophecy. i think that one part of the response on the part of the united states has to be maintenance of the power of its example. and if we descend into a kinney cost-cutting marketism, looking at the policies we have pursued, i think it will embolden the chinese in ways that are problematic. it will cause others to shy away from us and bandwagon toward chinese in ways that are problematic. and i think ultimately it will undermine the quality of lives that people here are leading. how can we really say that we cannot afford what is far under .1% of the federal budget for supporting culture. that just can't be right for us and make no mistake, a substantial number of people whose lives would be saved are going to be lost because we've decided to cut the budget for basic science way back. jim watson was in his 20's when he discovered the structure of d.n.a. charlie: 28. >> today,
