>> awesomely the individuals became witnesses for the government. they were given permits to stay in the country because there was a long process. again, i see her country is very generous because we reward those that do the right thing. ultimately they became permanent residents and american citizens. >> chris, you are in this jam. you've got everybody all over you. you're having to negotiate the relationship and the guys all over the map. he's a very stable character and at one point, you follow him into mexico you have to get a hold of this guy somehow. >> a case began like any other case. he was one of the luckiest and gold shawls i ever met in my life. he was going to have a wrapping party where he would wrap the drugs to the dogs can sniff them out to check is in their journey out of el paso. and there was a small load come as he called it, because he was pretty big now. about 700 pounds. so the dea decided to follow me what we went to pick up supplies to go to this wrapping party. we get to the stoplight and we were an ugly green ford focus.

even when he became president, she did not like washington. the grandson has been just put together a collection of letters he found in the house in books. he claims she loved being a senator's wife. i put that in the book -- the book was finished but i managed to get it in the notes. i did not find that she really enjoyed being in washington. so we have a conundrum. >> do you still live on lincoln road in lincoln, massachusetts? >> i still live in the house. i still have the beautiful library. what i have been doing since we have 13,000 books in the house, i have been giving away books to archives, libraries, the lincoln museum and library, and small black colleges -- whoever might need books. my good friend kathleen nichols, with her, we have been writing to places, saying, what would you like? i have given away 3000 or 4000 so far, but have a long way to go. depending on how long i keep the house or whether i die in it and my son inherits a, he can always give the books to a favorite charity of mine, books for africa. they can take all of i

m he became the sympathetic general.e unti sherman became the devil incarnate until the end of his day. you have another question?ng >> but i'm trying to insert myself in a conversation. [laughter] but i would really like to ask you to talk about grant is just a guy. as because he was the most unlikely political material to become president of the united statesaa and you know, you talk about hib knee knocking when he had to give a speech.ive how did it happen that this guy who is so non-demonstrative and not political at all, how did he become, and i believe he becamer a powerful and fuimportant united states? >> grant was the most unassuming major historical person that i have run across.e his modesty persisted until the very end. quite literally.d. i begin my story at the end ofyr grant's life wheny he is of composing his memoir.composinhir for a long time he resisted lon writing his memoirs and hesiste he thot after the fact, monday morningug quarterbacking stuff better left to other people. the officers on both sides began to revive the war and apologized for their mistakes and gra

[ magical tones ] we have special powers that we use in secret to keep starstuff away from tyrants who try to rule the world. >> the original story about peter pan was written by j.m. barrie in 1902, and it was written for adults. but the book became a children's classic, and this play is packing in the teens. >> oh, it was really, really funny. >> it was so creative, and i wanted to keep seeing more. >> it was just hilarious. >> i think it's perfect for teens, and some of the best people at the stage door have been teenagers. peter pan and my character are 13 years old. there's a lot of our qualities that i think resonate with teena

pushing became shoving became fists flying through the air. pat save one reporter from being manhandled by pulling the reported to her and offering him a lack of her ice-cream cone. obvious distress at the situation and attempt to remedy it did much to win the open admiration of the reporter. we end with another story that reinforces her love of travel. her openness to all the people she met including reporters and willingness to take whatever action was necessary. from harry and bess days listening to her husband at stories of adventure to her years as a single woman taking off on small excursions to the early years of her marriage to dick as they shared love of visiting new places traveling treat half, invigoration there and provided her with opportunities she might not have had otherwise. travel also provided with the means to transform the first lady's roll. although observers at the time often criticized her for failing to focus on a specific cause as lady bird johnson had or appearing to mirror too closely mamie eisenhower, had succeeded

he eventually became known as ulysses s. grant when he became president but he signed things u.s. grand. i don't know if there is a memory of my own childhood that grew me to grant but in the neighborhood i grew up in, in portland, ore. there was a public park and the sign on the public park was u.s. grant park. for the longest time i thought this was the federally owned park granted to the city for some reason or other. that is part of the answer. the other answer is i had a hard time convincing the people who designed the dust jacket to get all the words on there that are already on their. the man who -- "the man who saved the union," ulysses grant, the man who saved the union war and peace is a lot of words and especially with a photograph. i didn't want to push things. one last thing. ulysses grant sort of rolls off the tongue. add an s, ulysses s. grant, it really wasn't an oversight. it was by design. >> a more substantive question about the title. it is called "the man who saved the union". i get that, he was the general who turned the tide of the civil war, saving the unio

if it became for promising for different reasons and now they want to create a new enemy because of the problem with the president so he has to leave first of all you have to focus on the real problem with our time listening to what they say he said that he didn't have any regrets although he did make the point that the conflict is still ongoing on the ground and as such it's a little bit too soon to really step back and properly address it so again no regrets but too soon to judge the situation if today was fifteenth of march two thousand and eleven that's when the protest started to escalate and grow what would you do differently what i would do or do what i did exactly very simple for exactly the thing just to ask different parties to for to have dialogue and to stand against the terrorist group but i always thought if you didn't thought it because there was a little more but within those markets you had militants who thought that putting the civilians. at the same time maybe on the tactical level you could have done something different but as president to not think you could thi

school opened in the late 1860's who didn't have deep roots in the region, but rather quickly it became apparent to the middle easterners who were not just orthodox christians, but muslims and jews because this was the best place to get the best possible education and at the generation by 1900 had become what it remains to this day which is part of the middle east and what's magnificent about that is it is an all-inclusive institution founded by serving the interest of the people of the middle east regarding of background. and this is an example of the united states giving to the region and not taking away from it. >> do you see it as being a part of american diplomacy to the middle east? >> only ander equine because leadership of that school has maintained its independence for the united states government, which i think is appropriate, and practical. but, it serves the american interest in the sense that it gives middle easterners and with a background that house the humanitarian presence in the middle east. it's not always been about access, a close relationship with israel or deployi

but it became impossible not to be aware of the tension in tensions and divisions developing. they were not particularly severe in 1865, it certainly became that way in a couple of years. they did on other campuses, such as michigan in march of 1965, a big 10 rival of indiana, you begin to see a life-changing. is being addressed differently, some of them out east, much more concerned in vietnam. >> he sought the change take place before your eyes. let me ask you this question. even though you saw the change taking place, when did you start looking at the 60s this history? >> probably not until sometime in the 90s -- 80s or 90s. i'm pretty sure it wasn't until the 80s that significant portion of my course syllabus, which was 20th century history included significant reasons on the 1960s. so maybe that's one answer of the question. but of course a lot of people have been talking about the 60s even during the 60s as the 60s. a lot focused on one year, sometimes we historians love to talk about change across time is pretty much what we'd like to do and we would like to talk about

lee became vice premier in 2008. lee is 57 years old. he hails from a province and is currently in charge of domestic policy. >> li studied law at the prestigious beijing university, where he went on to get a ph.d. in economics. hiss classmate told us li also dedicated himself to studying english. he said the man who will become china's premier show nod sign he would become a politician. >> i think every single day he had a lot of tickets in his pocket. in one side, he write english, another side, chinese together. start out like this. and every day he read this, so i have no clue as to what will be the future after law school. i thought he would be a very good professor for economics. law. >> he joined china's communist party in 1976, and he devoted himself to the party's communist youth league after graduating from university. this man met li in 1985. li was visiting japan as a member of a joint association of youth organizations. he was vice president of the 100-member delegation. china's outgoing leader hu jintao was president. go we

as i became old and became a movie maker and was committed as a political person to social justice, it was a matter of time before was going to address just what went wrong and what is going wrong for black america and that is where the roots of the film why. tavis: the connection to your family specifically is what? >> one of the people in my life that meant a lot to me -- this is not where a plan to white filmmaker discusses their housekeeper. nanny was an extraordinary person in my life and we remain incredibly close friends. she is retired now and we have a deep involved love for each other. and then became older, i saw her become which she herself saw was the first generation of african-americans who were better off than their children. it was a heartbreaking things to watch because you work a whole lot to a dance for children and give them all the things she did not have. she was the first generation to see that that was not working, that the forces arrayed at her children and grandchildren was far more than she could overwhelm. and that all of her hard work for my family to rais

this play, way back, before it became this play was an adaptation of the 1954 play rashamon. how did you get from rashamon to this. >> the original idea was that i was going to do an adapt daition of rashamon. cary pearloff said you want to do a play for us, how about adapting rashamon. i said, sure. as is the case when i do this, sometimes i go in a straight line and sometimes i end up somewhere totally different. i've grown to accept it, that i'm going to follow the horse wherever it goes and hope that the theater is comfortable with it. so it started off as rashamon and i couldn't find an entree into it. for me, when i do an adaptation, i try to frame it in present day life context or contextualize it in another moment and bring that skeletal story line structure into it. and i couldn't make any headway. then a story that had been kind of floating around in my head kind of came to the fore, and is as the case when i write, there will be story lines floating around in my head for years, years and years are floating around in my head waiting for a moment to find its moment.

i've written some books which talked about aspects of the 60's and like a lot of other historians i became uncomfortable in the notion that the sixties could be described as something 1960 to 1976 so they like to talk to the 30's or the 20s or the 90's and so forth you can do that because of the power throughout the decade. mostly it doesn't work and here is the 60's i don't think it does either. because if you look back at what was happening in the early 60's, 60, 61, 63, 64, at least until kennedy assassination in november, 1963 and so much of daily life and popular culture and music and politics and so forth and the way people dress and so forth seem very much like the 50's and when we think of the fifties we think of a lot of turmoil, political polarization, urban riots, vietnam, rock concert and woodstock and so on and i became convinced that you really shouldn't talk about the 60's, 1960 to 1970 but something where the 60's start somewhere around 1965 which is what i've done. >> did you realize that at the time? did you feel your world change? >> guest: i mentioned in the preface to

eventually became commander-in-chief of the army. and surprisingly, phil sheridan saved yellowstone national park from exploitation. shared and grew up in ohio and graduated from west point in 1853. when the civil war began in 1861, sheridan was an obscure 30 year old infantry captain serving in the oregon territory. grant first recognized sheridan's leadership abilities in 1862 when sheridan was commanding a cavalry brigade that defeated a larger rebel force in mississippi, three months after shiloh. in chattanooga in november 1863, grant watched sheridan and his division stormed missionary ridge, and then pursue confederates for hours when no one else did. grant me than that sheridan was much like him, someone who'd act probably probably, they would fight always, and he would never quit. with hundreds of justice or to both sides of the civil war that description fit just a handful. grant broad sheridan east with him when president abraham lincoln appointed grant general in chief of all union forces. shared his first command was the
