[laughter] to what extent did jefferson and madison deliberately and consciously cite williams in their writings? >> they didn't deliberately and consciously -- i don't know about consciously, but they didn't somewhat fight williams. number one, as carrie miller, large harvard figure who's no fan of william, miller said maybe the most important thing about williams is that he stood at the beginning of american history. everybody knew who he was. he was america's first rebel. and he was out there as an individualist, as an icon. his influence on locke was enormous. and they all read locke, so they read williams through locke whether knowingly or unknowingly. there were also two biographies that, of williams that came out in 1776, one of them by one of the signers of the declaration of independence. so -- and at least one of those b

when cromwell told them to back off they backed off and that was the end of it.but more importantly, williams and what made him a major figure was that he became a huge figure in the revolutionary london. this is the period as the world turned upside down and europe had been alive when there was no king to read everything seemed possible. there was this whole mix and he arrived in london having the ship while traveling as he had to go to new amsterdam because he couldn't leave for boston. boston was on the few miles away but he had been banished. a burly and anthropological study there have been many books, many. this is by far the best to it i think tom can get you a copy still in print. this book made him a celebrity. it was no longer just a friend of cromwell hanging around and begging for attention. he was a person in his own white whose views were shown up and he was the only person who was a close friend of john milton, henry, depending on how the english politics was the closest friend, and then he struck on the question with a series of publications on th

anyway, no longer just a friend of cromwell begging for attention. he was a person in his own right his views were sought out. by no means the only person. he was a close friend of john milton. depending on how will you know in this politics, his closest friend. very tight. end then he struck out of the largest question, the series of publications the question of church, state, and freedom. finally he produced a masterpiece, something called the bloody ten a persecution. it is a 4-under page analysis of history, law, logic, experience, and, of course, conscription. he lived through what happens in the church in massachusetts and the political establishment. he believed the state cannot touch this church without corrupting it. he knew when you mix religion and politics you get politics. even when those who are strong believers in a christian nation cannot deny that. 150 years before jefferson he called fur a war of separation between the wilderness of the world and the garden of the church. his goal was to protect the church he despised hypocrisy. als

james cromwell, everyone knows you and now they know your name.we live in right now, has a silent -- mostly silent film, which for at least an hour and a half you think is a silent film, become what i believe the number one film of the year, the one i believe will win the academy award for best picture. what is going on in our world that makes us want to see a movie like a silent movie? >> even though it is a silent movie and the context for the story is the late '20s, it's a contemporary story and the period, the dynamics of the period in the late '20s and now are somewhat similar. people were anxious, depressed. depressed, the market had failed, people didn't know what was going to happen in the country much the same as we don't know today. so the story even though it's set back in 1929, is available to contemporary audience because they are creating the story on the basis of what they see in the frame and not on what is said. >> you know, there is another piece i'm sure you've given thought to, at the time when a lot of people are losing jobs b

milton remarked of oliver cromwell that he learned to govern himself before he could govern england. the same could be said of washington. or if you want a more recent example, his admirers, robert e. lee and dwight eisenhower. contemporary americans are confined to confuse such reserve with emotional constipation. but there is another word for washington's conduct towards the two most important women in his life. that word is judgment. rarely confused with charisma, it may not bring us to our feet, but it is the lifeblood of leadership. judgment supplied the foundation for washington's success as revolutionary and somewhat reluctant executive. it is precisely what was missing in his younger self. far more than a marriage of convenience, the love match that developed over time between the washingtons bestowed on each partner gifts beyond material wealth or social prestige. deeply domestic by nature, washington found in his agreeable consort an equanimity and transport transcending worldly riches. at the same time there is no doubt that his marriage to martha put the seal on washingto

actor james cromwell. you talk and we can't hear you. >> that's correct. >> i never heard of this concept. what was it like doing it as an actor? >> well, you're too young to know the concept. it was around for a long time. people did silent films all the time. it's been 83 years since anyone has done one. and it's, of course the french are the ones who brought it to us because hollywood wouldn't invest in something like this and it's been a big success. >> look what happened. i actually got to see this film and i thought that it was fantastic. you have one of the most prominent themes in one of your lines where you talk to the main actor about giving up his pride. would you say that's the theme of the movie? >> well, it's his resistance to making the change that he thinks he can make -- go on his own and he can fight the technology which a lot of people are doing today, you know, as we move on and filmmaking becomes more and more sophisticated with 3d and motion capture and he thinks he can, he can, his v
