the edmund fitzgerald is probably the most famous shipwreck on the great lakes.he was an iron or freighter, 729 feet long. she was built in 1958. she was the queen of the lakes. meaning she was the largest ship sailing on the great lakes. she sank in a terrible storm in november of 1975, all 29 men on board went down with her and it was a massive tragedy across the great lakes shipping community . from that -- we're still not 100% sure what happened that night. part of the investigation included anything on the surface including inflatable liferaft. they would have been attached to vessels and when they had a certain water pressure, they automatically inflated and came to the surface. unfortunately, no men were able to find them and climb into them. we have one of them here on display. 29 men on the night the fitzgerald died, they all went down. about half of those guys were actually from ohio. the captain was from ottawa hills, right here in toledo. it was a very big deal across the great lakes, especially ohio and even more so here in toledo. shipwrecks in the

fitzgerald. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized. mr. fitzgerald: madam speaker, this amendment that i authored would prohibit labor organizations from using union dues and fees collected from workers for noncollective bargaining purposes without the written consent of the employee. no employee should be forced to subsidize political positions they disagree with at the cost of employment. according to the center for union, 46% of union households voted republican, yet 86% of the union political support went to democrat candidates in 2016. clearly there is a stropping difference of opinion between union bosses and union members on the best pathway forward. but union bosses continue to spend their members' money with little accountability. workers across wisconsin and this country pay annual union dues to labor organizations in exchange for representation. not to line the pockets of the politicians. this amendment would stop unions

[laughter] >> frances fitzgerald was a reporter in vietnam and wrote the 1972 book "fire in the lake, the vietnamese and the americans in vietnam." on this national vietnam war veterans day we bring you a 1999 book notes interview with frances fitzgerald and peter kann. they are co-editors of a book about reporting from vietnam. brian: frances fitzgerald, when you look into the book--or, actually, the two-volume set "reporting vietnam" and "find your peace: the long fear," written back in 1966, does it still work? >> it seems a long time ago, i tell you, but i--i must leave that for others to judge whether it works or not. i spent a good deal of time in vietnam, and that was one of the first things that i wrote when i got there. brian: what does it say? >> well, it's about a trip through the delta. in fact, it's rather like one of peter's pieces in--later on and--we used to go on these travels to try and figure out what was going--going on. and so this is a piece about people i've met along the way, you know, from arvn generals to american advisers to waihow dignitaries, the local rel

host: time to move on to francis fitzgerald.ou mentioned that her background was very different from these two, she came from wealth by her wealth was extraordinary. ms. becker: yes. host: what was her early life like? ms. becker: she was eroded by servants. a chauffeur drover to her private school in england and she moved to new york city where she has horses and stables and long island. she is a great gatsby kind of character. it is not new wealth. part of a mayflower kind of family. we work hard but we also have this amazing life. the parents were elites. her parents divorced early and buried into great wealth, and money, and her dad was at the cia. she was gilded. host: how does a young woman from a background like this find yourself as a war correspondent in vietnam? ms. becker: exactly. she arrives because she was so extremely smart, very precocious. i read all of her stuff. i could not read -- believe a 10-year-old was writing when she wrote in her diaries. she went to to be a writer doesn't wanted to be a writer. they sa

scott fitzgerald, its drew me in. an interesting personality and so it really wasn't the politics of "the addams family." it was henry adams standing alone as an iconic personality. a curmudgeon, an intellectual, a reflective critic of american civilization, and so for someone -- if you're interested in the american thought, culture, ideas, and you want to get a good sense of at least the perspective of what is happening from the 1850 to 1900, henry adams is a wonderful place to start. >> that reminds me, this is the hundred's anniversary of the great gatsby, my favorite novel. celebrate the centennial and read it. i notice the epigraph is a quote from adams, i've outlived at least three different worlds from 1838 that. >> this i adams think overing himself being a colonial hitch want it a colonial him was born in 1838 so he would think of adams as a 19th century personality but his historical change and you'll saw america going through, the decline of agrarianism, the rise of industrialization, he thought that coloni

brian: frances fitzgerald, how long were you there? frankie: for about a year in 1966, and then i went home and i wrote my book and i went back again in 1971 for about six months. and i was out there again in '73 for about three months; in '74, i went to hanoi; and i've been back three or four years ago. brian: pictured on the screen is a view from the book an--what do you both think of this two-volume set? there are 1,500 pages, 64 pages of photographs, some 80 writers, some 113 pieces. brian: frances: i think they've done a magnificent job. i really do. i think it's very difficult. it's one of the most difficult things, i think, that the library of am--america's undertaken, cau--because of the sheer volume of reportage. and, of course, there's things left out that one hates to leave out. i would have hated to do the job of editing this. but i think that they've managed to give both a sort of chronological picture of the war and also to it--really, judge things, more or less, by literary merit and value. trying to do both at once is,

brian: frances fitzgerald, when you look into the book--or, actually, the two-volume set "reporting vietnam" and "find your peace: the long fear," written back in 1966, does it still work? >> it seems a long time ago, i tell you, but i--i must leave that for others to judge whether it works or not.

i want to start with the first, kerry fitzgerald, your maternal grandmother. how did she figured into the resistance? >> well, i begin with a string of my grandmother because it captures i think some of the themes you just noted that it wanted to explore in the book, that my grandmother as i describe in the book in 1944, early 1944 basically had a rosa parks moment where, this is in virginia, she gets on a bus going from lynchburg, virginia, to danville, her home. she took a seat in the so-called white section of the bus and as it turns out for number of reasons i discussed in the book, she's not arrested like rosa parks for some of the other people. but i think her experience was exemplary that moment in history. one, the circumstances, social context was such that she felt her grievances that had built up over time, that she could challenge the segregated seating, which was lost in virginia at the time. and also although this is something that i think undoubtedly other unsung, and recorded incidents of this sort, it did not lead to a movement at that point,

charles: want to bring in the fitzgerald group principal keith fitz-gerald.eith, your thoughts on chairman powell's comments and of course the market reaction to those comments? >> tell you what, normally he is very calm, cool collected. today he is in firm command of the obvious, i hate to be so obvious. we knew this was coming. you can't print money forever. you can't take no action forever. everybody knows that inflation is cooked except him. that is what the markets are reacting to. not necessarily there are bad problems with the companies because earnings are still strong but rates are out of control because people fear the return of their money more than they fear the return on their money. charles: he must see something though, that either the market is doesn't see or doesn't believe him. in other words he said on more than one occasion, and he repeated it today, inflation is set to rise but it will be temporary. then he tried to soothe wall street by saying the economy is likely to see maximum employment until next year. in other words, wink, wink, i'

kerry fitzgerald and irene morgan. i want to start with the first, your maternal grandmother. >> guest: i will begin with the story of my grandmother because it captures some of the things you just noted that i wanted to explore in the book. my grandmother, as i described in the book in early 1944, basically it's a kind of rosa parks moment a bus going from lynchburg to her home and my birthplace. she took a seat in the so-called white section of the bus and as it turned out, she got arrested like rosa parks but i think that her experience was exemplary of that moment in history when one, the circumstances and social context were such that she felt the grievances that were built up over time she could challenge and also although this was something that i think of their own song and unrecorded instances of the sort. it didn't lead to a movement at that point although it had all of the marks of some of the instances that had occurred. but rather, it would be another decade before the kind of social changes and developmen
