and said i have got ernest hemingway's will here in the office. it was news to hemingway's lawyer.did not know about it. he said i never heard about that. dad said i have got it in my hand. maybe you ought to come over. he said i will be over right away. we may have to destroy it. you can imagine the bills that went off in my dad's inner ears and he thought i am not going to be party to a felony. he called up his lawyer. a publishing where. he arrived. the two lawyers arrived. they each held a corner of the will. it all turned out fine. rice heaved a sigh of relief and said he has left everything to his widow. rice would remain in charge as mary's lawyer. everything was fine. that was a dramatic story by dad had told me and i knew the story. what had not occurred to me until i put it down at the end of the chapter was the conclusion that dad never mentioned. i don't think he mentioned to anyone. perhaps he did not give it much thought himself. he was a very modest man despite all his great intellectual and scholarly talents. the conclusion was this. hemingway had entrusted his will

it's like that famous ernest hemingway story: "for sale: baby shoes.n't need 'em 'cause i'm a playaaaaaaa!" trump's struggling campaign needs all the help it can get to stay on message these days. thankfully, today, melania trump, who has been notably absent from her husband's side, pitched in with this video. >> why do i stand proudly behind my nude modeling work? >> stephen: i'm sorry. i'm sorry, what's happening? why would you ask that? no one, absolutely no one is talking about your nude modeling. i know you've got a new memoir coming out and you're trying to get attention, but america's facing a far more pressing question. >> the more pressing question is, why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot? >> stephen: ahh, yes. the thing the media is definitely scrutinizing: the 24-year-old naked photo shoot of melania on trump's plane. of course, she's always celebrated the human form. we all remember her famous initiative as first lady: "be brest." well, i just wanna say that, i just wanna say that

we hear a lot about the men who went over the lost generation of ernest hemingway and ask fitzgerald. but the women's story really hasn't been told. so i wanted to bring that to the fore in this exhibition, just focusing on the women. and what i found, which is remarkable, is a lot of the reasons why they went to paris. then 100 years ago or more remain issues that we continue to debate today. they're still works in progress. so i think as people go through the exhibition, a lot of the ideas are going to resonate with them even today. and the exhibition starts with this incredible tableau. yes. yes. and believe it or not, this is from a series of seven. if we'd had all seven, nobody would be able to get past this point. we barely got these in the museum. they're so big and they were made for a manhattan townhouse belonging to agnes ernst meyer and her husband, eugene meyer. agnes agnes's portrait is also in the exhibition. a photograph. they went on to purchase the washington post. but agnes meyer, early in her life wanted to be an independent career woman, and she started a career as

ihe mentioned in the book ernest hemingway's book the sun the sun rises one character asked another and did you go bankrupt the character says two ways. first gradually than all at once. that's exactly what happened in an instant. all at once. these projections of the intelligence agency a little discouraging to see the director of the cia at that time talk about what an incredible success he had in afghanistan. their success they are more optimisticli of the various intelligence agencies from the airport optimistic the cia. this is not right. in order to become more current look of russian invasion of ukraine. here there is some good news about the intelligence agency intelligence agencies predicted putin was going to invade afghanistan ukraine. in this far better the and this they were better than zelenskyy somehow thought or thought in his heart of hearts is invasion was not going to take place. just like we try to prevent russia from invading ukraine but the threat of sanctions putin invaded ukraine anyway. sanctions have not cause them to change his mind one iota ever since. but, a

ernest hemingway, one said everyone is broken by life, but afterwards some are strong in the broken places. how true that was for lincoln who went after perseverance to have to educate themselves and make himself the man he was accountability, compassion, and most importantly, the guys who become the president after a while you drive for success is in u, and maybe everybody's ambitious for oneself at the beginning. but in the end, your ambitious for something larger than yourself. and an abraham lincoln's case, he was willing, actually, in the summer of 18, 60 afford to lose the election because he was told he had to compromise on slavery in order to win the election because so many, hundreds of thousands had been dead it said it'd be in time and eternity. if i return the black warriors to slavery as a result, he was able to win the election because atlanta fell in the mood of the north changed. but that willingness to put country over for party, country over self is the most important thing we see in these characters. and how he could claim right now that he is the greatest president of a

and then i mentioned in the book, ernest hemingway's book, the sun also rises in one character asked the other. and g to see the director of the cia at that time and now talk about war incredible success. they had in the handling afghanistan. their success, i suppose, consisted in this that they were the more pessimistic of the various intelligence. so the military agencies were more optimistic than the cia. none of this was a success. it was all not right or to come even more clear. look at russia and the invasion of ukraine here. there's some invasion of ukraine. the intelligence agency predicted, they knew that putin was going to go after ukraine. the european intelligence agencies, they were actually better than zelenskyy. we have hope that the invasion wasn't going to take place but we tried to prevent russia from invading ukraine with the threat of sanctions which caused nothing to happen. putin invaded ukraine anyway. sanctions have not caused him to change his mind ever since. o at that point, once they were so correct about the issue of what putin was going to do, then the a

i mentioned in the book, ernest hemingway's book, "the sun also rises," another character asked, how did you go bankrupt? the character says, two ways, first, gradually, then all at once. that is exactly what happened in afghanistan, all at once. these projections of the intelligence agency were flat wrong. and it is a little discouraging to see the director of the cia, at that time and now, talk about what incredible success they had the handling of afghanistan. their success consists of this, there in fact, they were actually better than zelenskyy , who hoped or thought this invasion was not going to take place. but just like we try to prevent russia from invading ukraine with the threat of sanctions, which caused no thing to happen. putin invaded ukraine anyway, and sanctions have caused him to change his mind. but at that point, they were can -- correct about the issue of what putin was going to do. they got the sense that he was off the rails. they subscribed, as did a number of people to the notion that russia would defeat ukraine. depending on what you read. they were picking

i mentioned in the book ernest hemingway's book, the sun, also rises, what one character asks another one, how how did you go bankrupt? and character says, well, two ways. first, gradually, and then all at once. and that's exactly what happened. afghanistan all at once and these projection of the intelligence agency were flat wrong and a little discouraging to see the director of the cia at that time and now talk about war incredible success. they had in the handling afghanistan. their success, i suppose, consisted in this that they were the more pessimistic of the various intelligence. so the military agencies were more optimistic than the cia. none of this was a success. it was all not right or to come even more clear. look at russia and the invasion of ukraine here. there's some good about the intelligence agency, intelligence agencies predicted and knew that putin was going to invade against ukraine and thus were far better than our european intelligence agency colleagues. and in in this they were actually better than zelensky who somehow thought or maybe in his heart of hearts th

. >> text message, did ernest hemingway deal, some of the style from willa cather. >> i don't think so . i do think he is credited, he makes the statement about the iceberg theory that one 10th of everything is flowing above the surface in most of the meeting has been cut away and that's the rest of the iceberg that still there even if you can't read the words that does resonate with her theories outlined in her essay which talks about the thing not named and the what's defined that's heard like an overtone but not on the page . i wouldn't say really that he stole his style i would say his style is quite distinct from hers read hers is conventional in a lot of ways but compact and concise strips away the unnecessary . >> ac is in attica new york, please go ahead with your r question or comment. >> thank you so much. while i flipped to this by accident this evening a few moments ago and i was j fascinated by enwhat i'm hearing and seeing, the history, the beauty of where they live . and one of my box was did they ever actually lived in new york for any reason and now while i was on hold

. >> ernest hemingway is quoted saying all modern american literature comes from one book by mark twain called huckleberry finn. all american writing comes from that. there was nothing before. there has been nothing as good since. we think about that ? >> let's give hemingway his props. he sang mark twain in this book and you can see it from the start believed in the american voice. the way people really spoke. he believed the weight people spoke had literary value. you didn't have to get your literary theory materials from england will go into college. you had to listen to people. he was obsessed listening to people. his notebooks were filled with overheard conversations. he would pace back and forth trying to get a dialect right. he would torture himself over the words because he loved american voices that much. he invested in huckleberry finn. on that level, hemingway is spot on because mark twain was one who said look here for literary value. >> did hemingway have a could see ? >> after chapter 30 the book goes like this. just cheating. hemingway was not the first and not the last t
