george watson brought us this look back at august sebastiani. >> reporter: august sebastiani died in well chos chosen spot. he was in his living room. he was buried in a bib and straw hat that had been a symbol. a shrewd businessman yes but also a simple farmer. at the funeral it seemed as thousand august has prepared his family beforehand and told him not to grieve. his wife and sons were strong throughout the ceremony. possibly they remembered the fullness of his life, the hours spent on the field. his dawn to dusk regiment seemed for him invigorating instead of tiring. perhaps it was because he spent a lot of the day with his birds. something struck me as strange. there was no outpouring of grief or sense of loss as you might have expected at the funeral of a man who was so loved by so many people. but then after a moment's thought i realized their quiet was not strange. i'm sure they knew that throughout his wife, august sebastiani was a man at peace with his life. who lived as a full man and who could have asked for more. >> i feel like man farrouck. i can't go into the house un

watson show up as our golfing team. it was quite a day. they were fun. >> george shultz, in "issues on my mind" you write about your time as secretary of treasury. why did you resign? >> well, the atmosphere became rather discouraging, even though i had a lot of really good experiences. one day i'm sitting in my office and the director of internal revenue, the commissioner comes to see me. his name was johnny walters. and he said, i just had a visit from john dean, the president's counselor, and he hands me this list of 50 or so names of people to do a full field investigation of their tax returns. that's a very unpleasant process. what do i do? well, you don't do it. what do i tell john dean courts telling you report to me. if he has a problem, he can come to me. it was interesting later on in the nixon tapes i heard him discussing, this with john dean and they basically said, who the hell does bless think he is not doing what we want? but they never had the nerve to put it to me because if i resigned, refusing to do something improper, with the internal revenue
