many american presidents, both well-known presidents like ulysses grant, andrew jackson, or george washington had been generals, and people who are maybe not so known, like william henry harrison. there have been many presidents who have been generals. but this tradition had gone. roosevelt had a military background, but his military experience was that more of a civil servant politician in the navy and not as an admirable -- admiral. it is interesting to imagine what he would have been like. the idea of having a general as president did not seem that implausible to people. america had fought the war with a civilian mail population, many of them turned into soldiers. it had been a national experience. in terms of america's wars, singular early benign and a singular early inclusive experience. entirecan watch the "americanc-span3's history tv." >> monday on "the communicators," tim winter on the recent report of the 20 years of the content rating system. according to the report, the system intended to protect them from violence and sex on tv has failed. >> there is no show on broadcast televis

george bush. knowng ahead, we cannot how many future occupants of the oval office will find their priorities held hostage to terrorists who confuse murder with martyrdom. but as andrew jackson's fate makes clear, it is the history yet to be written that may cause seemingly fixed presidential reputations to bounce around like corn in a popper. the older i get, the more suspicious i become of that academic game called ranking the presidents, if only because it presumes in the word of one scholar, "to measure the immeasurable." as the presidency involves, so do our measurements of successes and failures. talk about apples and oranges, the 19th century presidency is a totally different office than the 20th century, entirely different, much closer, it could be argued, to what the founders intended. have their chief function carrying out the legislature's wishes, someone who at the same time it have a predominant role in determining american foreign-policy, but certainly not someone who, for example, would be regarded as responsible, good or bad, for the state of the nation's economy. james monroe was reelected in 1820 with all but one electorate. electorate voting for him, and thi
