>> he certainly looks back at gettysburg and their debit explanation as to what gettysburg failed, he said. he is that getting good intelligence because jeb stuart has disappeared. jeb stuart some of you know is a command and he goes basically a joyride before gettysburg and lee relies on jeb stuart for intelligent achilles his corps commanders to act in unison and he believes may be they could succeed if the proper artillery support but no one told them they were running low on artillery after that initial department. i think pickett's charge in some sense is a moment of frustration for lee. he feels he has to destroy the union army. if you go back to chancellorsville, i mentioned this earlier, and you look at robert e. lee attitude after the battle of chancellorsville, he is furious furious at joseph hooker, manages to escape a lot of competitors think that poker's final position was a pretty strong position and robert e. lee is planned to order a frontal assault against that position but hooker withdrawals that night. and so in some sense poker makes the greatest mistake of his lif

i learned a lot from her, i thought i knew about the gettysburg address.t the exact number but i think she said there were 120 separate words. brian lamb: 272 overall. david brooks: she goes through each of these phrases and says where they came from and how they evolved and different uses over the years. "conceived in liberty," what did lincoln mean when he was 20, when he was 40? it is a deep dive into that speech which i found illuminating. brian lamb: there is another -- one of the things that you say is that hardly a year goes by that you cannot give an award to michael lewis. david brooks: i try to not give him an award because he has gotten a few but superstars are superstars. brian lamb: let's look at him for a while. for those who do not know him, he has gotten a lot of attention. >> so a guy that i met experimented in high-frequency trading strategies but never put into practice, a professorial type, collided with an old trader. let's try it. let's go trade with the thing you dreamed up. i have never done it before but let's do it. they are hooke
