but that also raises the question about harpers ferry. what exactly did brown think was going to happen as a result of this? and it is clear that by the time he is executed, john brown has concluded that he is worth more to the abolitionist movement, to the freedom movement, dead, then alive. and you can almost see that dawning on him in his days in jail and before the court, and all this. but i think, as far as i can tell, when he went into harpers ferry, still hoping that this thing would work, that's where being self taught person can have its downfall. >> i think about how lincoln was checking books out of the library of congress at the beginning and during the war. same kind of thing. can either of you speak to this point? at which point did john brown decide to stay in the engine house at harpers ferry or not go out as he had originally planned? and what caused him to make that decision. >> is that a loaded question? i don't know if it is or not? >> i think that he was expecting a little more of an explosion among the enslaved peopl

hotshot and harper collins both posted, and yet, you have a bit of an irony here, because harper collins one of the better sport. they made it clear they would appoint simon & schuster. hush it did not make an actual bit, but their ceo actually said, i kind of wish they did. and yeah, we'd also like to have simon and schuster. so it's an instinct situation what they're saying is that they're not necessarily against the big five, being shrink to the big four. but they're saying, look penguin random house, was already number one. that's a special case. so in our case, it's a little different. >> just to review, before we closed down our conversation on this, this merger is specifically being challenged by advances, big advances to big name authors, correct? right -- >> right, this is the perspective that you're taking. my understanding is like it's sort of a waiver kind of issue, how are being compensated for your work. they are focusing on this particular part of the market. in fact, one of the defenses at random house, saying, look, you're just focusing on a small number of things here.

he wrote me i wrote chapters of wealth and poverty were first published and harper's magazine in two or three chapters of that and reagan wrote me a letter about one of the more inspiration in all entrepreneurial articles. and harper's and i responded and he asked me to come see him and and i became his most quoted living author. that's what the new yorker magazine figured out. i'm not exactly sure how that calculation was, rich, but. well, ronald reagan's most quoted author has a new book coming out. the theme is, quote, we live in a twilight zone beyond capitalism and freedom. and the book is called life capitalism. george, we appreciate your time on book tv. thank you so much, peter. always well, here on book tv, we want to introduce you to stephen kent. he has written a book called how the force can fix the world lessons on life, liberty and happiness from a galaxy far far away. mr. kent, that cover and some of the words you use in that title. sound familiar? what's this on? this is based on our star has dominated our cultural for almost four decades since it originally hit the t

harper, could radically reshape presidential and congressional elections in this country.the heart of the case ia controversial and disputed legal theory that claims the u.s. constitution gives state legislatures almost unchecked power over how federal elections are run. voting rights advocates say that would rob state courts of the power to protect voters' rights. the conservative activists promoting this theory are among the same people who successfully pushed the u.s. supreme court and the federal judiciary to the right. rick hasen is the director of the ucla law school's safeguarding democracy project, and he joins us now to help us piece this together. it's good to have you with us. rick: it's great to be with you. geoff: so as you know, the group spearheading this effort calls itself the honest elections project. but financial records and other documents lead back to leonard leo. he's a former advisor to donald trump. former executive vice president of the influential conservative legal group known as the federalist society. so tell us more about who he is and his ro

harper case came along we decided to do what the supreme court is suggesting. we litigated the redistricting map in state court. and again, we prevailed in state court. in fact the state supreme court ruled that the congressional map was an extreme, intentional, partisan gerrymandering directed to the legislature to fix it. the legislature had to follow the directive of the court. and so now we have a new map. the map is a fairer map than it was originally, but unfortunately the plaintiffs in the case have now, or at least the defendants in the case, have now taken the matter to the supreme court and supreme court is now going to have to decide whether or not state courts have any authority whatsoever over election laws within the state. and so i guess my question is, professor, i guess you're still with us, online, are we overreacting? or is it likely that the supreme court will decide that state legislatures can enact the election laws affecting federal elections and deny this state courts the chance to make a -- ? a >> representative butterfield, i have been
