it is boston, after all. [laughter] and the wind came and flicked the flames that he was using to nearby dry grass, and a fire started, and it spread, and it spread. and eventually, it turned into a raging inferno which burn withed down more than 300 acres of prime woodland. in his own day this man was cast away, and it's hard not to see they were right because i can't think of any young man living in boston or cambridge who did as much damage to the environment as this man did. he is, of course, henry david thoreau whose book walden seems to preach a gospel, but his own life tells a very different story. his own life preaches the moral that we are a destructive species, and if you love nature, stay away from it.

the army pulled out of boston, and peace returned to boston, and the rest of the colonies. the troubles between britain and her colonists should have ended then and there with everyone living happily ever after under the union jack. except, except for one tiny irritant remaining in the economic relationship with the mother land. in repealing the townsend duties, a small group of angry parliamentarians decided they needed to retain some symbol of what they insisted was parliaments absolute authority to tax all british subjects with or without their concerns. although parliament yielded to all demands of the americans, its majority felt it had to retain at least one of the townsend duties as a symbol of authority so it retained the smallest, most innocuous one, the one on tea. wow. what a close -- colossal miscalculation. as i said before, it was nothing more than a woman's social beverage in the homes. few americans drank a cup of a tea a day, and in any case, the tax on tea was negligent, one tenths of a penny for a nine penny cup, that's a tax of one one hundredth of 1%, b

joseph kennedy went to boston.he went out with the prettiest girl in boston who also happen to be the mayor's daughter. whom he would later marry. everybody knew who he was. he was class president. again, he felt a part of the community. 10% of the student populations were catholics. in a large number of public schools. it was only when he graduated from harvard in 1912 that he understood what it meant to be irish catholics on of an east boston politician. he wanted to go in banking and finance. he didn't get a job or a job offer or an interview. his classmates, some of who were not as good as numbers as he was, none of whom were as articulate and charming as he was, his friends were constant on-off jobs. even in their family banks or in other banks. the only way he could get into banking was to take a civil service exam and become an assistant bank examiner. his job was to go around the state and examine bank books. he believed from that vantage point, especially in boston, they would see this bright young man and

boston was across the channel. he was the ultimate insider in east boston. he was the ultimate insider in boston latin. and even when he went to harvard, because half of his class went with him from boston latin to harvard and about 10% of the students were catholic and a much larger percentage from public schools in and around boston, he still considered himself an insider. there were bramens there, and they didn't let him into some of their clubs, but that didn't bother him nearly as much as the fact that he was too slow to make the varsity baseball team. he got his letter but was never a starter. he graduated from harvard, and his life began. he wanted to go into banking, into finance. and he discovered that every door was closed to him because he was an irish catholic from east boston whose father had been a ward leader. every door. his friends, his classmates who were not irish catholic got interviews, got jobs at the major banks, the major financial institutions. he got nothing. nothing. not an answer, not an interview, not a nothing. he was still goin

he wanted to put her in boston in a place near boston in a home for retarded and children. he said don't do it because you can't protect the family's privacy or your privacy. and you can't protect her privacy so they moved her to a content home in wisconsin. all that i understand. what i don't understand is that when he put her in this home that she was well cared for she never saw her again, and the family only began to visit after kennedy had his debilitating stroke and they never told him. the only one to make sense out of this to me was to shriver, she began the work with openly disabled because of what the family went through and tim shriver is an extraordinary young man that works for the olympics you have to understand the shame because they couldn't do enough for their system, they couldn't do enough for her. they couldn't do anything kennedy convinced himself and the rest of the family that she was better off by herself with her own community for herself in jefferson wisconsin. i still don't understand it as much as i want. one last question. >> [inaudible] >> his

he had to raise money in and around boston.again, he realized as an irish catholic of east boston he didn't have the connections they never have the connection in any of the american industries. so what did clerics he looked ahead and he realized that the financial institution was paying no attention to the industry that was about to take off. moving pictures. they paid no attention. there are pay no attention to moving pictures. so he moved to and began making his own deals, his own contacts. when babe ruth was still in austin, put babe ruth a moving picture. because babe ruth do his money and kennedy never paid anybody a friend. but every other deal went through and eventually he ended up in hollywood as the owner, as the studio head up what was a minor studio. but that wasn't going to stop them. he realized and recognized how he could convert his outsider status, how he could make it an advantage, a benefit rather than a liability when he arrives in hollywood he positioned himself as the non-jew. as the boston banker as thir
