stuart the most famous portrait painter of the time and a gilbert stuart fancied himself something of an amateur psychologist and he mentioned about them holding back his temper you might want to share that story. it's a great story. >> guest: he did fancy himself as a sacred psychologist and he was aware and he said general i've studied your features and you have the scenography of a man of violent passion, and in the same room at the time was martha washington and she was knitting and listening and become offended and said you take a great deal upon yourself, mr. stewart and he said madame, let me finished i was about to say the general has those passions under perfect control. >> host: he really was a good psychologist. >> guest: he got out of a tight spot. but then washington, he looked to washington hoping to get a positive response and a little smile played across washington's face and said he is right. host koza you talk about the 1877 letter which was also interesting about that is nobody seemed to be interested in it. it sold for very little money. >> guest: i suspect that pr

talking about george washington, the iconic figure the a gilbert stuart image that we're used to, we both went to grammar school in jersey city and every schoolroom has a copy or a print of george washington on the wall in every school in jersey city but he turns out to be much more of a human character? don't you think? you quote from the letter washington wrote after his marriage to march but to the richard washington merchant comment that washington is fixed up the seat of the mount vernon, with an agreeable life and hopes to find more happiness in retirement than i ever found in a wise and bustling world. it sounds like a happy man. >> guest: yes. happy. but agreeable does not suggest grand passion or a deep love. this is the problem washington had for the rest of his life. a lot of people thought marriage martha was convenience. she was the richest and widow and virginia and she was looking for somebody to manage this magnificent the states and washington was a colonel and commander of the troops of the french and indian war and was just about perfect in every way. incidentally

>> well, i think there's definitely going to be big consequences, but i think also in regard to gilberty lot of times the nba -- i don't know if it's fair or unfair -- kind of gets lump in together when there's one player that does something wrong. i think in other sports, you think about the plaxico incident in the nfl, it was a plaxico incident, really wasn't an nfl with guns. so i think that the nba fairly or unfairly gets treated that way, but in the same sense he needs to come down and there's going to be some serious consequences and deservedly so. >> also you think because it's lumped in, but we've seen several incidents -- it's a smaller club certainly than the nfl, but sebastian telfair, jayson williams, stephen jackson, so many of them and such a smaller group of guys, some people think it's some kind of a mentality in the nba. you tell me as a former player -- and you hear players say this -- when we go out, we are targets. do you buy that? is that the truth, that some of these guys feel the need they have to protect themselves when they go out? >> well, let's be honest. most

he and the architect, cass gilbert, they corresponded regularly. and when taft was president, he had appointed gilbert to a fine arts commission at the capitol. so gilbert knew what it was about, and he knew what visions jefferson had had. some of the justices did not like it hurt much. some continued to work out of their homes, happy with that arrangement. of course they came to the building for hearing cases the chief justice at that time was charles evans hughes, and the office they provided for him and the building was more as a ceremonial office to greet distinguished visitors and so forth, and he continued working out of his home. most justices at the time did not even claim the office space. the first justice who used that building extensively as his office was hubert block, roosevelt's first appointee, appointed after the building was completed. supreme court justices are not shy, and some felt that the new building was to grant, too grandiose. later, chief justice stone, he was an associate justice when the building was built, and alleged
