hayden: yes. it is a commitment that is important that, though you do not have book gilt built into it. i know you are looking like that. so many people in different generations feel that if they start a book, they have to finish it. no, you do not. there are hundreds and thousands of books. that means you put that one down and get another one. so often, we make the commitment to figure out the text or listen to the words if you are doing books on tape. that, we say you have to do it. it is not like broccoli. [laughter] or brussels sprouts. you want people to get into it. yes, it is a commitment, but if it is something that engages you or you are interested in, you will make that commitment. peter: in a sense, your bosses are congress, correct? dr. hayden: yes. peter: are they readers? dr. hayden: yes. i think people should be heartened by the fact members of congress as a whole are basically interested in history and their place in history. we find that quite a few members of congress one to read

and partly that was due to hayden's talents. he was an excellent scientist, but he was also even more so a really great leader of a survey. he allowed the men to create their own collecting teams. he gave them instructions about collecting and he expected them to work hard. he made it pretty clear to the political boys that if they did not pull their weight, they would be jettisoned from the survey, but he really didn't crack down on them. he gave them a lot of lead and a lot of leeway and they ended up collecting just a huge amount of special specimens 45 boxes that they sent back to the smithsonian institution for analysis and collection. he was also quite a good writer. he understood the power of language of travel narratives in particular in shaping the way people understand science. so he really played a very interesting role in the development of the genre of popular science writing and you can see here. i've included the title page from his scribner's monthly. piece about the hayden expeditions journeys into the yellowsto

and hayden understood this, hayden knew once he saw that the lower and upper geyser basins once he sawthful which had always been named by the way in that 1870 survey, he knew that this place was special. he knew it was iconic and he knew it was unique in all the worlds because scientists had already kind of discomfort and explored a little bit the icelandic geysers and also some geyser basins in new zealand, but they were nothing compared to this in terms of the size and the number of features and the diversity of features. it was really kind of incredible. a couple e of been left the sury fairly early due to health reasons but the survey proceeded without a hitch, and what hayden wrote to spencer baird at the end that he almost couldn't believe his luck that it had gone so very well. and partly that was due to hayden's talents. he was an excellent scientist but he was also even more so a really great leader of a survey. he allowed the men to create their own collecting teams. he gave them instructions about collecting and expected them to work hard. he made a pretty clear to the poli

hayden needed on his side.all these people gathered together in late may in omaha, nebraska they boarded union pacific train to ogden, utah. gather supplies most notably armyab horses. and it made their way at westford they spent a little bit of time in utah exploring ogden, exploring salt lake city they also got supplies salt lake city was a very important stop on the major road between california and colorado. they were also quite interested in what they would have considered the more curious aspect of salt lake city it's brigham young ex-president. i spent time looking there and the real start of the expedition, moving northward along a stage road from ogden to virginia city, which is an old mining town. for day they hadwagons, horses m bringing all of their supplies. by july 13 they arrived at fort ellis and montana just outside of boozman where they picked up their calvary escort. which was a ranching concert run by a pair of german brothers. in the yellowstone river valley. if you have flown into boozman

hayden: hopefully people can learn that...ou want to speak up on, you can be heard. doesn't mean you're going to win, but people know about it, and just putting it out there changes the landscape. and to me, it's like chopping something down. i might've put in the first hit with the ax, i might've put in the first chip, and there's a lot of room to go, but i put out the possibility that something can be cut down if we want it. i feel like we grew together. - you definitely inspired me. - you inspired me. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ del toro: follow the conversation for tonight's america reframed using #kidcandidate. ♪ ♪ yeah! ♪ baby, it's a rollercoaster, don't stop ♪ ♪ better take a hold, spin it like a top ♪ ♪ well, that's right ♪ ♪ that's right ♪ ♪ people all around, things are gonna change ♪ ♪ everybody knows they're gonna stay the same, though ♪ ♪ that's right, that's right ♪ ♪ give a little toast, do a little smile ♪ ♪ i can tell you every time, it's all right ♪ ♪ it's not right ♪ ♪ every time you stay, i get going my way ♪ ♪ well, i know y

hayden, sue siegel, wherever you are. thank you for opening up your hearts and your building to this symposium. thank you all. i've got a long list of thank you's all on the list, but i'm going to keep it to one. thank you for making this possible. thank you for supporting us. thank you for being here. and i'm going to introduce panel because i think you're here to hear these distinguished people talk. judge richard gergel, congressman jim clyburn and dr. carla hayden, and you'll be hearing from them shortly. jim clyburn is the assistant democratic several. know who? jim clyburn is. can i can i skip this? i'm going to skip that part. what i will say is that congressman clyburn has been a devoted, committed friend to the truman. and we are very grateful for everything that you've done for us. he has the honorary co-chair of the truman civil symposium. he served on our honorary national committee for, the seventh anniversary. and in 2017, congressman clyburn came with the late, great lewis to receive the truman legacy leade

hayden. dr. louise bernard and commissioner chris brown. well, this is exciting. i'm i'm going to try not to fanboy out too much. well, and with dr. bernard too and both of you and i was just saying we were saying backstage that president obama and first lady have been supporters of libraries. they've both spoken at american library association conferences. and so we're so pleased to get a sneak peek. absolutely. of something that's really, really citing the i had a chance to coming in to chicago to pass by the site of the new presidential center and it's impressive. could you tell us a little bit about really what i was seeing? because it was a structure that's like eight stories high right in the middle of right by the museum of science and industry. and it looks phenomenal. so. dr.. oh, thank you, dr. hayden and hello, everyone. it's wonderful to join you today at alma with my colleague chris brown from the chicago public library as dr. was saying, the obama presidential center is situated

hayden: we like the stock market now.big selloffs and global markets, we noticed less and less is happening on the china died. we know the stimulus is there from a financial perspective but it is stuck in financial markets. repo rates are closer to 1% when they should be closer to 2%. there is a lot of money and financial markets. this is the single largest deposit china has had, so effect it's deployed into the local stock market, we could be in for a boom time. expectations are it will rally slowly over the next 2-3 years. kathleen: i have to ask about korea. in november i was in seoul when korea's legoland credit crisis began, and it had a ripple effect in that part of asia. there is another situation, rising default rates at credit cooperatives has sparked deposit outflows from lenders and interventions from regulators. are you following this? is there something brewing here again? hayden: obviously they have tight restrictions that have flowed through the episodes in the past but a lot of people look at those banks a

interestingly hayden's active self-denial did not involve his declining job altogether. and allowing to pass to the secretary of state instead hayden indicated if you would ensure that the acting president would come from the legislative branch. i will defer to the next panelist dr. fins in a mom will discuss experience of speaker albertsons who's experience has also relative relevant in this context. finally, i would note that speaker dennis hasterter did concede that. he did not want to become acting president, but unlike senator hayden pastor indicated he would have accepted the responsibility. quote, i really didn't want to be president permanent or temporary pastor call. and with my wife jean who wasn't thrilled with my present job. she wouldn't be happy with this. the opt-out provision in the 1947 statute might have seemed to track but i understood that it wasn't really an option because if you've got a constitutional crisis and you're the speaker. you couldn't pass it up. you had to accept. unquote the words and actions of wade martin hayden and hastert each indic

hayden i argue in the book and illustrate with seven or so examples and with ancillary questions and many more that the twin virtues of magnanimity and moderation, magnanimity is latin for the greek for greatness of soul, something aristotle talks about in the early books of the nicean ethics. greatness of soul and a deeply felt sense of obligation to truth, liberty and conscience. they go hand in hand. the domain of action, human action guided by practical reason, what towers above and truly indoors is the admittedly rare combination of honorable ambition and self conscious self limitation where greatness and goodness coexist in relative harmony if in some tension. we know let's say the magnet pole is best articulated and defended by the classical wisdom and humility of course his a crisp quintessential christian virtue. thomas aquinas says they only appear to be in contradiction but in practice it's very difficult to combine honorable ambition and healthy self restraint but i think all of the figures i highlight in the book managed to do that and managed to do it in impressive and

i know you think that general hayden overstated the matter.hese are supersensitive secret but it is important that the chinese get some sense of public pushback. quick thank you for this question. -- >> thank you for your question. the basic idea of being able to take a picture from space when only the u.s. government could do that, that is the thing we want people to know. we are working on that. i would say it is a heart problem set to think about how things could be less classified. i would you say that deterrence is in the mind of the adversary. you know that china still secret from us constantly. we need to keep them guessing. i do not think that requires him classifying anything. -- unclassified anything. quick because of their deep concern. about creating more debris fields in space, we are not in the connecticut tech business. we are looking at other things that can be done. jamming, the use of directed energy. am i correct in thinking that is a guidepost for you? quick the united states continues to be the leader in the world and spac

hayden says the riots, white neighborhoods well, that's a major well left scars. and after six or seven or was never the same, there was another factor, too, in my family's life. in a life of many is they put a highway right through our house. right. one of the myths that they perpetrate right now is a racist. i was the highways were planned divide white neighbors from black neighborhoods mayor pete etc. and i looked throughout the country i couldn't find a single highway that did that our highway which is now 80 to 80 divided. the white northern half of roseville from the white southern half of roseville, largely white in both cases. the other highway that came through newark, i-70 eight divided the largely jewish southern half of weequahic from the largely northern jewish half weequahic, where newark was 35% black at the time. if they want to divide highways, their aim wasn't. i mean, they could have done it, you know, many different ways. that wasn't the purpose. some highways went through, right through black neighbors. they didn't care. when you read plans, t

or so i have cochaired this with the library of congress, first with tim billington and with carla hayden. >> is there money that you give to work this effort? >> i do. i have given. money every year for quite a while and i enjoy it very it is a great free, effort to let people know more about authors and books. we get a couple or maybe 100,000 people or more every year coming here and the importance of it is i want people to learn how to read more and united states are roughly 120 fit in the world in literacy, 125th, that is not great, we have a large number of people in this country who are functionally illiterate and a large number of people who do not read books at all. 46% of adults, they did not read a single book during the year. why do you want people to read? and makes the brain better and focuses the brain and it helps you with other aspects of life. >> apple this article out of the wall street journal yesterday by brendan cronan who works for the wall street journal. books resist digital domination. one quote from this article is reading is a commitment and far too many easy al
