king's assassination, lyndon johnson gets out of the race, robert kennedy's assassinated, chicago descends at the democratic convention and georgelace wins 13.5% of the vote in five states. 1968 is also the first year america ever had an integrated electorate. think about that. the first presidential year after the 1965 voting rights act was the first time a multiracial democracy was actually recognized fully by the constitution by legislation. so we're really only about 56 years old. what happened in 1958 was the two clashing views of slavery and freedom and power and identity and faith and what worries me most is what happened in 1858 was the power of passion and pride to overcome reason and genuine devotion in the declaration. >> what do you think of, doris? >> what i think of when i think of the 1850s is some ways it does remind me of where we are today in a scary sense in they had a partisan press, just as we do now. if you're listening to one of the debates between steven douglas and abraham lincoln or reading the republican newspaper, they will say he's triumphant, carried out in the arms of his followers, you read the de

johnson in the context of bore guard. among his other clamont classmates. gabriel reince. napoleon buford and phillip st. george cooke, jeb stewart's father-in-law. one of the interesting things about studying the civil war is as is evidenced by all our discussions here today is how close everybody is. how many connections there are between people who you might not assume know each other very well. another man who would be very significant in polk's life and vice versa was braxton bragg. but they did not go dot academy together. braxton bragg is class of 1837. he's almost 11 years younger than leonidas polk. polk was commissioned as second lieutenant of artillery. he just missed the cutoff. in those days the rankings, the assignments are if commissions went engineers, top of the class got the engineers. commissions in artillery came in the next cohort. then cavalry followed by the infantry the bottom. that is why all the class g.o.a.t.s end up serving in infantry regiments. i'm sure the infantry soldiers are very very happy about that. but in 1827, june 1, after graduation he doesn't report to duty. typically c

george putnam, is why diversification? you and i remember 100, even 300 stocks in a portfolio. not peter lynch directly, but johnsoneam came up with a concept called the fidelity 50 fund, it has been merged in 2015. is it better to hold in a mutual fund or etf a lesser amount of issues, or do you believe in what phil believed in, you pioneer? barry: two parts. first-come academic research has shown us that the vast majority of returns come from a tiny percentage of stocks. it's like 4% in the u.s., 6% globally. if you are going to be an investor, an active investor, a stock picker, you should have the courage of your convictions and have a concentrated portfolio. if you want to talk about 50, between 5, 75, it is almost irrelevant. but it should not be 200 stocks. that's helpful. if you are marrying it to the vanguard, if you only 3000 stocks in the vanguard total market index, then you can have 5% or 10% in a concentrated 20 or 30 stock index or 30 stock actively managed set of holdings. but the combination is what makes it work so well. tom: what you just heard there from barry is the combined wisdom of hundreds

head george state and heads of government should be publicly talking to each other and about each other in this way. it is indeed a toxic on tong corby all the we have now. but if borrows johnson is the circus clown, i'm afraid the emmanuel micron is the circus dwarf and the british and the french deserve better than the leaders that they have. but they're the only leaders that we've got and they have to go on with resolving war arm. i think post partum politics. this is angie nato, post nato depression. on the part of the french b, e. u. in general, we have less up. they find it impossible to bet they want us to fail. they want us even to suffer and they are ready as is abundant, make clear every day to permit the floor. thousands of people every week. drunk has the opportunity to elect a new president. soon i hope they take the opportunity to make a change just as i wish, the british people could make a change. i'm satisfied with neither of these 2 leaders, but as long as they are the leaders, then they have to obey diplomatic norms. when the united states trump era migration policy that requires migrants to stay in mexico while their claims being assessed as a back to resta

decision and replaced johnson's troop before butler discovered that the how lip line was evacuated and moved west to the railroad connections between petersburg. lee ordered george pickets division, of richard anderson's first corps, about 4500 men, to cross the james for this purpose. how would the federal high command react on june 16th to this developing operation situation? li put pickets men on the road to river crest at three in the morning. a few hours later, he sent charles fields first divisions on the forward southside as well. but alert federal officers at bermuda hundred detected suspicious sounds during the night. and at early daylight, they pressed forward and found that the few alabamans after charles graces brigade had quickly scattered. and it was only a fraction of butler's men that began ripping up the tracks that were left of petersburg railroad. meanwhile, two additional union corps, burnside's ninth and warren's fifth, began the completed pontoon bridge and the ferry boats to extend hancocks lift. at the same time, johnson's gray coats past the appomattox and extended the new confederate parameter, dubbed the haygood line. throughout the da
