we're standing right near where bucky dents home run disappeared in the 1978 playoff. obviously right next to the foul pole that carlton fisk's home run hit in the 1975 world series. two great memories. this place as john updike dubbed it in the famous "new yorker" magazine piece, the lyric little band box. remains pretty much the same, with a quarter of a billion dollars worth of renovations that the current ownership group has performed, as it did 100 years ago. i can tell you willie, having been here 100 years ago on opening day, it's much better weather today than it was then. >> the highlanders had a good day that day. >> they were a good team, terrible uniforms, but a good team. but the unique thing about fenway park, i think not only to me, who has spent a lot of time here, but to people who come here occasionally or perhaps even only once is it's a place where memory marries myth. you can sit here and be, you know, with your family, you take your kids here and they have a permanent recollection of coming to a ball game. it's so small. so close. that you can see

bucky and patty. our brother and sister-in-law said nobody could sleep on this bed. >> one night i was able to sleep in churchill's room and no way i could sleep. i was certain he was sitting in the corner drinking his brandy and smoking his cigar. that's the theme of a favorite story in world war ii, and he churchill came after pearl harbor, they were supposed to sign a document, but roosevelt didn't like the word associated nations and wanted to call them united nations. comes wheeling in to churchill's bedroom to tell him the news. but churchhill is just coming out of the bathtub and has nothing on. he said oh, no, please stay. the prime minister has nothing to hide from the president. so anyway, speaking of churchill, sticking his stomach out, i recognized there is no regular ritual day in the white house, but what amazed me about you is number one, the athleticism of you. number two, that you write a diary. we historians are so sad to think in the future, 200 years from now are not going to have

and while many still wonder why one of the most anticipated belts of recent years mayweather versus bucky easier to happen to stories sure why no will. because they make more money when people fear for. us so it's pointless. artsy. hi terry sure they're speaking to the point as ever so that's the sport for my win so i'm back with more. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money lending institution is the particular area of rising and i think this is one way to describe china's truly amazing ascent on the international stage but with success comes china. hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum for medical impact. material is. journalism one reason. we wanted to visit. something. secret lover jury was to build a clue. about anything. to teach me. to care about humans this. is why you should care only. this was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution and the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading. more

and do that scene, but there was a great line in the movie which we hadn't seen in a long time and bucky churches goes, you can't fight in the war room, so when we went down to the situation room and it looked exactly like the war room, and he turns to me and says you can't fight in the war room and we're dying laughing. it was that kind of mood. >> you actually decide -- you understand up having lunch in the white house mess. >> yeah. the tour wasn't going to happen seriously with all of the commotion. so while we were waiting, he said you know you can have lunch in the mess hall and elvis immediately said yeah. he's not one to really eat publicly a lot because it's just too confusing or whatever, but elvis was not going to leave the white house until that badge came so that made sense to him, and the only table for four was, like, right in the middle of the white house mess hall which i think was served only by the navy. i'm real impressed. i mean, this is -- i'm looking at every piece of wood and everything. i'm in the white house, you know? this is huge. i'm 28 years old, you know? a
