i was wondering about henry adams, that was a little further along in the late 1800s? >> sara: henry the puritan immigrant or henry of the education? >> guest: the education of henry adams, that one. >> sara: so henry adams was probably one of the hardest minds i've had to wrestle down on the page. in terms of writing him because he so scrupulously carved out his own life, and curated it in the education of henry adams, here's someone who was very much about curating his brand so carefully that he can be a big challenge for biographers to get at. and what i found in terms of his religious life is that while he went on a steady ark towards atheism, his scholarly interests were in medieval catholicism, so he was consumed with traveling and cleg art and artifacts, and all things touched by faith. he was fascinated when he went to japan to experience buedism. he has spent a quarter of a million dollars on japanese artifacts he could take home. here's someone who didn't necessarily want to show up at saint johns in washington dc for easter with his wife but he did it once in

[laughter] i stole that line from henry adams. if you're going to steal, steal from henry adams. that is a basic rule. george bush was not perfect. by far. he did a lot of things to amass power. but what, to me, what always redeems him is once he had it, he used it against self-interest. he opposed the 1964 civil rights act, but in 1968, actually in congress he voted for fair housing, much to the fury of his constituents in houston. he ran a ferocious campaign against michael dukakis, but instantly tried to govern in an atmosphere of collegiality and compromise. he pledged never to raise taxes, but the good of country required it, so he did it. he knew it then. he said in his diary that night in a lincoln-esque phrase "i'm going to be dead meat." the key to doing his voice is mr. rogers trying to be john wayne. that was dana carvey's great insight. i think there is a unique document in presidential history -- a letter that president bush wrote to his mother in the late 1950's. the bush's lost a daughter to leukemia in 1953. they did not talk about it much. george w. was born in '

perhaps the clearest statement and assertion of presidential decline was made by henry adam who was an observer of presidents, he was the grandson of john adams, the great- grandson of john adams and great grandson of john quincy adams and the adams family was in this state of political decline where there were two atoms presidents and their background but henry adams cannot even make a start in politics but he became a very distinguished historian and when he was writing in the 1860s , when ulysses grant was president 10 years after the publication of charles darwin on the origin of species, the introduction of the theory of evolution, adams is take on this was that anybody who looks at the progression of the presidency from george washington to ulysses grant understands that evolution is a crock, utterly refutes the theory. anyway, i was going to say in most cases it looks as though there is this linear line that they can go down and up but there is a striking thing i'm going to pros this to you and you can decide whether you agree or not there is one sense in which donald trump is p
