superior but ten years old and eisenhower and eisenhower reveres him. when marshall and lesley, the chief of army ground forces sent him out as effectively the senior combat leader for the u.s. army eisenhower is going to take a while to recognize this guy is not up to snuff. there were suspicions, eisenhower came to share them, that he may have been a physical powered. i don't know if that is true. i don't think the evidence is there to make that kind of really damning charge against him. there is ample evidence that he is not the guy to lead the second corps. when the offensive begins on february 14th, 1943, he is nearly paralyzed, he is 100 miles back from the front, he is taken very freshest engineering resources, they are digging a headquarters from the side of a quarry, the bottom of a quarry, when eisenhower sees this, he recognizes that friedman dollar is nowhere near the front, is showing signs of being afraid and showing a kind of lethargy so free and dollars relieved and sent home, given the third stock and given command of the training army

to him by the chief of staff, who is not only eisenhower's superior, but ten years old, and eisenhowerreveres him, and when marshall and mcnear, the chief of army grown forces send lloyd out as respectively the senior combat leader for the u.s. army, eisenhower is going to take awhile to recognize this guy is not up to snuff. there were suspicions, shared them, and they may have been a coward. i don't know that that's true. i don't know they are there to make that kind of damning charge against him. there's ample evidence that he is not the guy to lead second core. when he passed, offensive begins february 14 #th, 19433, he is nearly parollized. -- paralyzed. he's a hundred miles back from the front. he's taken precious engineering resources, digging in herdquarters from the side of a quash ri, and he recognizes that he is not anywhere near the front, showing signs of being afraid, and showing a less energy. he's relieved, sent home, gimp the third star, given command of the training army in the united states. it's really the last time that eisenhower will be so benign in treating some

eisenhower was not much help. the supreme commander had proved indifferent in tunisia on sicily and during the planning. now he continued in that deficiency, watching passively for more than a week without recognizing or rectifying the shortcomings of his two chief lieutenants. >> guest: he is not a very good field marshal or battle captain. he does not view this spatially awaited great captains do like napoleon. he does not have the ability to dominate a battlefield. but that is not his job. his job, as he defines it, is to be chairman of the board. so his job is to provide the bullets and bombs necessary to win the war. his job is to find the right man to lead other men in the dark of night, those who are the battlefield commanders and i think that he is quite brilliant. so i give him credit. i am willing to call a spade a spade. it is not intervene. he does not see that the germans are going to get away. there are several occasions when he simply does not show the skills needed to qualify as a great captain. bu

and general eisenhower deferred and give it what it always belong to. when we run through these images. you see lots of recognition on the part of the work of the monuments man foundation, but it rebounds to the work of the monuments man. general eisenhower said, this i sense a distinction i feel receiving this great honor is at stake -- inescapably may go with feelings of profound sadness. humility must be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices. been -- for ever in the pages of military history. still such a man, if he existed, would sadly face the fact that his daughters cannot hide his memories crosses marking their resting places of the dead. they cannot sue the anguish of the widow or orphan whose husband and father will not return. the only attitude with which a commander made with satisfaction received attributes of his friends is in the home will acknowledgement that no matter how unworthy he may be, his position is a symbol of the great human forces that have labored arduously and successfull

eisenhower disliked him so much that if you read eisenhowers more he says -- he actually says this. in march of 1951 general van fleet retook sold, not matthew ridgeway. he was not even in the theater, correa, so much was his dislike of matthew ridgeway both because of his advice about vietnam, is complete insistence that eisenhower was weakening the conventional military in the future of america was not a nuclear war. he was not well liked by omar bradley but was praised when he was popular. although he had a long life, it was not a happy one. his first two children ceased speaking to him from his first marriage. his third marriage was alone. he had an 18 year-old son who was his pride and joy. he was killed as a boy scout troop leader. he was walking along the railroad in a slower-moving train happens to come and make to the canoe someone was carrying and it hit him in the head. it was one of the great tragedies of his life. by the time he died 97 he was forgotten. it every american soldier was this man a debt of gratitude. when i finish the book, in conclusion, one of the editors

but with eisenhower it was different. he was, i think, sincerely grateful when eisenhower gave the atoms for peace speech. he was sincerely for numbers of things, of policy, of proposals or actions that eisenhower took. he thought it was unconscionably stupid on the part of the americans to send 10,000 troops to the lebanon. he wrote a very funny let or about that that you'll -- letter about that that you'll find in my book. this was 1958 when there was a problem in the lebanon, but it wasn't -- it really didn't need an amphibious landing. hammarskjold wrote a very funny letter saying that the americans, because things worked out quite well there diplomatically, he said the american troops had nothing to do but drink coca-cola. so have i covered your question, sir? >> yeah.

true to general eisenhower, he referred the credit and gave it where it belongs.ded of that, these best moments when we run through these images and you see lots of recognition on the part of the work of the monument men foundation but it redounds to the work of a monument to. general eisenhower said this high sense of distinction, i feel, receiving this great honor is mingled with feelings of profound sadness. cumulative must be the portion of any man who received acclaim earned in blood of his followers, sacrifice of his friends. he may have given everything of his heart and mind to me to the spiritual and physical needs of his comrades. he may have written a chapter that will go forever in the pages of military history. such a man if he existed woods said the face the fact that his honor cannot hide in his memories, crosses marking the resting places of the dead. they cannot through the anguish of the widow war the orphan whose husband or father will not return. the only attitude with which the commander may with satisfaction receive the tribute of his friends

what was the relationship to hammarskjold had with dwight dwight eisenhower i think that eisenhower saw eye to eye with him on the suez crisis. >> well, he was privately -- he was not very patient about it. i think that he shared that end he pressured him in ways that are not sensible. but i think that he was surely grateful when eisenhower gave the four piece speech and he was grateful for policy and proposals and actions that eisenhower took. he thought it was unconscionably stupid to send 10,000 troops and he wrote a funny letter about that. but it wasn't -- it really didn't need an amphibious landing. hammarskjold wrote a funny letter and he said the american troops had nothing to do but drink coca-cola. that cover your question, sir?

and eisenhower said if you attack us in germany there will be nothing conventional about our response. and there was well understood that if there's an attack in west berlin for example it would bring in a clear response. and the kennedy johnson administration's undersecretary defense nightmare and secretary clifford adopted the policy of allowing the soviet union to become equal in the military capability within the united states on the theory that then they would negotiate on the basis of the mutually assured destruction and we could stabilize the work. all i did was enable the russians when they got close to surge ahead because they believe in the concept so when mr. nixon was elected he did a job of calling it nuclear sufficiency so he actually reduced the defense budget but produced these multiply targeted warheads so they could have as many as ten independently targeted more hands and in this way he purportedly reduced the defense budget and introduced the concept of an anti-missile defense system and spoke of nuclear sufficiency. they signed the greatest nuclear arms limitation

president eisenhower, when he entered office in 1953 reduced the size was standing forces, but exsench waited the american superiority of the defense authority and called it more bang for the buck, a crude formulation, but that's the essence of it, and he had the famous exchange with at the end of the 50s saying we have more conventional force in germany and could overwhelm you there, and eisenhower said, if you attack us in germany, there's nothing conventional about the response, and it was well understood if there was attack in west berlin, for example, that brings in nuclear response, and the kennedy-johnson administration under the secretary of defense and secretary clifford adopted the policy of allowing the soviet union to be equal in nuclear capability with the united states in the theory then they negotiate on the basis of mutually assured destruction, and we can stabilize the cold war. all it did, really, was enable the russians once they got close to the strength surge ahead of it because they believed in the concept of superiority. when mr. nixon was elected, he did the job

books recently read, evan thomas is a great biographer , his theory in this book is that eisenhower was not as appreciated as he should have been, a method to his madness and although he seemed to be a bungler and not in charge but secretly he was quite shrewd and very much in charge knowing what he was doing. i have to a minute having read the whole book and opened to the theory

eisenhower. where was that? what impact did it have on him? >> well, i -- he came -- he was invited to what he called a stag dinner, apparently president eisenhower gave to get a little bit of freedom or free room to be himself with men he liked. he -- after -- let's see after rockwell painted his portrait and the two hit it off. sometime later rockwell got an invitation in the mail to one of the stag dinners in washington. he came -- he enjoyed it immensely, and fondly in years after wards spoke fondly. he was so nervous, and by this time he was well established, and well loved, and certainly a world traveler. he had to take tranquilizers to get through the dinner, and he was -- and his tux didn't fit. nothing was right. i would take it as a sign he deeply respected eisenhower to care that much for his opinion of how rockwell conducted himself or looked during the dinner. >> this painting of willie in church, 1942. >> yes. during world war ii, rockwell was very interested in providing well to th

eisenhower wrote a memoir where he said ridgeway didn't take seoul, south korea that van fleet did. how e visive can you be? he live to be 97. he got involved people read it and finished right after the election and said david petraeus ended up happy and everything went well. he had some problems. and there seems to be a profile the people are controversial, and after their signature achievement, it's hard to sustain that or that the society is ambiguous attendant. >> the signature achievement is obviously extremely interesting and challenging. perhaps you could tell us a little bit more about how it is or indeed what traits some of these had that made them able to go in to a situation that needed seething and actually have courage and imagination to do so. >> guest: i think u of all of the ingredients that the personality traits, the education, criteria, all of that, one signature personality trait, it seems to me, they were imknown public opinion. they were almost suspect. when everybody says athens is lost and join the spartans and give up greece is distrustful with consensus. th

famous \it is mainly eisenhower's famous pink, and we think about how they have influenced society and think about them as white house hostesses and we pay more attention to things like how they dress and whether they are appropriately dressed and how much power they have over the events that shape our future and country. when i started to write about first ladies, i decided i was more interested in a different aspect of their job in the white house. i was not so much interested in finding out how they entertained, what they did at state dinners, but i wanted to know how they have shaped history, how did they work as part of the political partnership. and were they in fact political partners? or were first ladies really just social appendixes to the presidency. the historical record is a bit mixed. as you look at first ladies, you can find a tremendous amount of information about what they served at a state dinner, how they rated the centerpieces on the table, what kind of clothing they wore. we know when harriet lane was introduced, her dress had 100 yards of lace in it, if you can im

when you have to think abouti e eisenhower as the great infrastructure guy. >> that's going back a long how they fund infrastructure in minnesota as well, through the gas tax. but congressman yarmouth, looking at this fight that's coming up over disaster, if we can't fund disasters and we can't fund bridges, if we're stuck in the ideological hedge row country where nobody can move, what happens? what is it going to take to move the other side, to get them to recognize that we are playing with people's lives and this is important stuff? it is hard to mgsally rally around a bridge being built, but have we lost the sight of what's important and what is needed in this country, because we're so politically bent? >> well, i think that's right. and when you have republicans, for just the last 20 years or at least, talking about, we've got to cut spending, we've got to cut spending, that has resonates with people and they don't stop to think what that means. that it does mean, actually, that we lose our infrastructure, we lose our law enforcement, we lose our education system, we lose ground an

i'm not winston churchill, but eisenhower was a good president before him. -- he was chairman of the board. excitingjust an administration. they didn't stay around long enough to really be appreciated or reach the greatness i thought he could have gotten. was saving -- the same awful, crazy guy from vietnam. he should be recognized as a great president. he went out to create the new deal. or to complete the new deal but he did something else. he is the guy that began the leadership and brings to the end of the terrible civil rights we had. thingsid some wonderful and he did some bad. they carter was one of finest people but regrettably he did not have the successes that we would have liked to see him have because he was so concentrated on detail he did not have time to concentrate on the bigger questions. he is probably the most underrated presidents. jerry ford was probably the most underrated guy served with. >> what a point of distinction. sam rayburn used to get really worked about this. he said>> [unintelligible] we are equally important and this is very important. clinton was a

that's how we wore underwear in the eisenhower administration. it was before elastic was invented. and listen to the lame excuse screen writer dan goyer gives for creating the commando of steel. >> our approach was not a comic book superman. it was just to do a more realistic superman. >> stephen: that's right. a more realistic superman because when your hero is a flying man from anotherç planet who can crush coal into diamonds and melt titanium with his heat vision, you don't want him doing something unbelievable like underwear. i mean, great caesar's ghost. and, folks, i'm sorry about that. i guess the reason i take this so personally is that i am so much like superman. in their darkest hour...

starting today, parking south of the eisenhower is free on sunday... by july first, sunday street parking will be free all over the city.. except in this central business area. (dissolve to fs) the deal, struck by the emanuel administration, cuts both ways... as drivers will now have to pay until 10 p-m... not 9, the other six days of the week. the agreement will also add a pay-by-cell option by may of next year... with a 35 cent surcharge tacked on in many cases. well, we all love a break when we can get it. for carl allen the parking meter deal, even a re-structured one, just isnt good. i mean, will i be here in 75 years? its like an eternal deal. its just a bad deal i know a contract is a contract but i hope they can find a better way to find a solution to raise revenues. 46 sunday parking free better. business owners, at least on the south side, like the sunday free parking... they hope it drives business. a lot ofpeople park on this side.. this side. and no come inside. so this is going to be good for you? good me, parking free sunday. i think itl
