itself, the klan promoting specific ideologies about eugenics? brennan: no, i never heard anything about that. it was just this one new jersey t chapter, but who knows. it would be interesting to look at the average fertility of klanswoman and see if it was different from the average fertility of american women, to find out if they were using not,h-control or which is impossible. [laughter] >> thank you, again, for your enlightening talk. thered like to ask, was any sort of concerted resistance to the klan but maybe played a role in its demise? i am really surprised by how quickly it declined. talk about resistance. priests denouncing them in their masses, or not? were they afraid of that? not a lot. as a mentioned, when the klan -- i think it was young stone, ohio, a big industrial center, when the klan tried to move there, working-class people threw rocks at them. in several cases like that, klansmen were shot by resistors. but this is sporadic and also, the relationship between the klan and labor unions was very complicated. unions, they were

there was a chapter on eugenics in most college biology textbooks. it was taught in the great universities. the leaders of the eugenics movement included professors at harvard, and yale, and so on. i am not saying she did not have any racism in her, but she certainly didn't seem to have more than what was tendered at -- what was standard at that time. there is another complexity there, too, that sanger was particularly interested in making birth-control acceptable -- accessible to people who were poor. a lot of those people were people of color. that has been used against her because she supported her birth control clinic in harlem, which became a very big, powerful one. i am not entirely a fan of margaret sanger. i wrote a book in which i was very critical of her. but i do think the issue of eugenics has to be put in its historical context. what is more alarming is the sort of revival of eugenics that we have seen today, which is different, because people know that the science behind it is just nonsense, i think, at least that is my understanding. i

it's called eugene icks. what eugenics was. indiana leading the way in 1907 for with 30 states following suit and there were 48 states at that point, let alone alaska and hawaii, but what it was was a group of very wealthy doctors and lawyers who wanted to create, just like hitler did in world war ii, the great white race, but it's not one-sided. the dark side, where people of color long before we did, because it was done in ancient egypt. but the problem is, there are a lot of medical problems today that the government is expected to pay for in the way of medicare, medicaid and stuff like that, for poor people, that are the direct result of those one. enics, i being i was born smack-dab in the -- didn't hityday your state until later on. host: sarah, what is your point? guest: my point is, my uncle put it very well. there are enough pieces of the pie game blame for everybody to have a whole pie. the interest being what it is today in compounding daily interest, everybody gets 100 pies. they need to quit looking at the pretty l

on the night of october 12, eugene was able to hear that a japanese fleet was coming down again from the north, and he heard callahan referred to the fact that battleships were in it. southbound at 25 knots, just a day away. at this point, kelly turner orders callahan to assemble a group to meet it. it's cruisers and destroyers, assembled from the various task forces in the area, and take them into action. the presence of japanese battleships presents a problem. these are capital ships of the 14 inch main battery. callahan has cruisers with an eight inch main battery. versus 260shells pound shells. it is really a mismatch. eugene terre and overhears the admirals say it is a will there and to take on ships that are three times san francisco's eyes. it is a shame there is no time to confer with healthy -- with halsey. and here's the commander weigh-in, saying this is suicide. , yes, i know, but we have to do it. he is calm, resolute, and perhaps already resigned to his fate. from two witnesses, this conversation, that i think is telling. the melee that ensues has a couple of different
