>> yeah, she went home early that night. >> fortunately he got a second chance. tell us a little bit about -- hank says in the book i'm a tough guy. i forget at what point he said that but he was a rustler in high school and was a tackle and everything but win the president asked him to become secretary of treasury and hank's initial reaction was how to do it but he decided to do it but he had one big worry and i think the crop might be interested in knowing what makes a grown man trembled. [laughter] >> warren is talking about my mom and i quite close to my mother. she is a strong woman, engaged and interested in politics and policy and she was not and admirers of george bush and very unhappy with the war and interested in women's issues and so on so there have been a fair amount of speculation in the press that i might go to washington and i get turned down the opportunity a couple of times and i had assured her what was not going to go because i had no intent of going but then when i had reversed myself and decided very suddenly it was the right thing to do an

the lucky two thousand or so people going home aboard this ship are really very fortunate. this is one part of on relationship, get back home. the people in here are customers of toll companies desperately trying get it's people back home. so the owners of this cruise like line have made it available on this one off basis to bring them back home. many other people, not quite so fortunate. >> have they got to pay for the privilege of getting home on that, robin? and how much talk is there about compensation of trying get something back for the in convenience they've been put through? >> well, i mean in some ways it's a two step picture. the people on board this ship don't have to pay anything to go on this ship. the toll company is doing for it them to bring them back. they're actually quite happy the people on this ship because they've had tough journeys to get here but haven't had to taken outer expenses. it's all paid for. but some others like on budget airlines have had to pay for everything so far. extra expense and hotels and tras important costs and some cannot get on

and it was fortunate for me that, number one, she slept through the entire interview. [laughter] and i was still breastfeeding, if that is not too much information. [laughter] and i got the job. but i know that i was lucky, number one. i was interviewing with the president that had just had a child himself and was very understanding and open-minded. but none of the most people are nowhere near as lucky as i was, particularly right now with the job market the way it is. many people cannot be picky about the jobs that they take. many people do not have access to any kind of family leave policies whatsoever, no flexible working arrangements. many people do not even have it paid sick day. so they are struggling every day to find affordable child care. or someone to work after an aging parent which is becoming more the issue. scrambling to make things work in the usual arrangements fall through. all of us have been through that. so i spend a lot of time hoping and praying that everything will work out just perfectly. i remember those days. the delicate balance of perfection

and just as it had many times before, sam's fortune changed dramatically. in 1878, out of the blue, a very, very wealthy californian, james keane showed up on the east coast to return the favor. yet been a teenager barely off the boat from ireland in the california gold fields when sam had found him down on us his luck and desperately illume the 1850's. said save henderson to back to health and keane never forgot his kindness. you've been inflating or roadside within the mind of the type that come to his work is good sam error 10 with the profits. nearly $750,000. with this dramatic change in the circumstances washington but we counteract the less the same although he was a frequent guest in the capital of the king of the lobby was advocating his crown, pulling up stakes and to campaign for new york 20 years after he first went to town. excuse me. now when the chips, sam had a stationary with a compass pointing to what else? southwest, s. w., embossed in gold rather than the less expensive royal purple you see here in this 1872 letter to thomas bayard. my d
