we'll use the first ladies. so they sought out the descendants of the presidents and first ladies and asked for clothing. by the time they opened the show, they amassed a pretty good amount. by 1932 they had something to represent every former first lady. but it did create what i call the smithsonian's definition of first lady, which is not necessarily the spouse, the wife of the president. it's the person who played the official role of white house hostess. so that can be -- usually it's a wife, but it can be a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a niece, a family friend. and it's been all of those things over time. and the exhibition was actually called the featuring the cleting of the mistresses of the white house. >> and there are some examples in this exhibit today of those that weren't the spouse of the president. talk about them a little bit. >> yes. as i look behind me to see who is in this particular exhibition, or in that case, this case is mostly wives. but in the china and in the back section, you'll see do

and so she actually we think of in a lot of ways as one of the first managerial first ladies. someone who starts sort of professionalize the role. mrs. roosevelt wanted time, so she decided what things she was going to delegate to someone else. so she has a social secretary who takes care of press. there's huge press interest in her family. they're great cover material and great photographs. she didn't like that prying of the press, she knew she would have to accommodate them and she and her social secretary would release certain pictures, posed pictures. you can't do stories and take pictures, we will release information and we will release photographs. so she sort of had the first press secretary. >> i was going to say, is that the first time that happened? >> yes. 24 is the first time that something approached a formal press secretary's office for the first lady. she delegates a lot of household duties. she has the caterers doing food. she doesn't have the white house doing food for large events. she has chief ushers take care of household arrangements. she knows what's goi

and the first of those is that he did everything for the first time. when he was inaugurated, first inaugurated in april 1789, there were very few precedents to guide there hadn't been many republics in the human history and in almost all of them had been small. they had been city, states, ancient world, renaissance, there were suisse cannons, the one republic that had grown large was rome. but that had become the roman empire. so that example was not very encouraging. washington did have a guideline. he had the constitution. he was very familiar with that because he had been the presiding officer of the constitutional convention in 1787. he had attended every session, heard every argument. he following the -- followed the ratification debate very closely. he had the federalist papers reprinted in richmond so it could influence the ratification debate in virginia. so he was about as informed about the constitution as anyone could be. but the constitution has a lot of gaps in it. for instance, it says that the president may negotiate treaties by and wit

so first things first. let's just recap this amazing tornado outbreak on saturday. a couple reasons that it's amazing to me. we had 126 tornadoes. if you told me we had 126 tornadoes in the midwest i'd probably tell you we'd have more than five fatalitiefatalities. we were fortunate in some ways because most of these tornadoes were weak. the lower end of the intensity scale. and there were a lot of them in rural areas. of mostly central kansas, northern oklahoma, wichita got spared. that's the one big city that was kind of in the mix of all the tornado symbols. but they got spared. and oklahoma city, most of those tornadoes were well to your north and to your west. even in nebraska and areas of iowa, they were mostly rural. that's why it wasn't worse. five deaths bad enough. we didn't have any towns that are large like joplin or tuscaloosa get taken out. yesterday we had about 10 of them located in nebraska and minnesota. begun down here the border of oklahoma and arkansas. none of those did any significant damage either. it's hit and miss with tornadoes. some years

pete first to you.lorida law, and what to expect at this first appearance. >> that's what it's called, under florida law it's called a first appearance. he'll come in, be formally advised of the charges. he's not required to say anything. he doesn't enter a plea but his lawyer can ask for bail. in fact, we expect his lawyer to do so. then the judge will consider whether to grant him bail based on a number of factors. his ties to the community, whether he's likely to flee, whether his release into the community would be dangerous and all those factors will be taken into account. he's not automatically entitled to it. it's the judge's discretion. >> joanne, if he is released on bail and that's, of course, up to the judge, as pete points out, what will be the reaction, do you think, from the community, from trayvon martin's parents? they've said all they wanted was an arrest. what if he is out on bail? >> absolutely. i think that a release at this point would produce a fair amount of anxiety. the african-a
