, his eye, but not his feet. this pair of figures strikes a contrast not only by age, but height, personality and meaning. the two men allude to polarities, we all feel between our american itch and our longing for home. homer returned to gloucester in the summer of 1880 with a sense of accomplishment. it was the place that inspired the first set of watercolors conceived for exhibition and the place that inspired his immediately acclaimed centennial of oil painting, now known as breezing up. he also returned with a sense of purpose, as by then he had determined to a second trip to europe and he wanted to accumulate capital to pay for it even before here. that summer, homer had displayed a commercial which might surprise us today, for example, exhibiting a signed photograph of a fair wind for sale at the century association in new york at the price of $2. similarly made this dring as the basis a heliotrope print of which a few survive as an inexpensive form of photo reproduction. but homer's principal that summer

so his his attitude was complex. so this is a printer's proof of the lesser passÉ documents that an enslaved worker would need to have if he wanted to go off the property. it was asked to send into old town alexandria to buy purchased things that he would have to get a signature of custis and custis would throw in a little spending money. and he was very apparently very willing to give such permission. but custis also, he showed up at the annual meetings of the american colonization society, and he argued with a lot of sort of pseudoscientific arguments and data about how skin color determine which races were best suited for which clients climates. i should say. and he was. but, you know, you got to remember that the american colonization society was very mainstream. you know, it was formed in 1816, and it had james monroe and bush right in washington and supreme court justice john marshall were involved, as were the presidents of the major colleges at the time. and it was heavily attacked by the abolitionist editor,

while he is there to to setbacks occur his life, his mother dies and his father loses his fortune. that fortune that he retired from the ministry to acquire loses his fortune to guess what french privateers. he studies greek using this latin textbook. imagine studying greek and latin. well, that's what he had to do as his father had before him. and this very copy duly signed by both of them upon graduation in 1749. bob tried his hand at several callings, teaching, preaching, voyage to the azores and spain and a whaling voyage in. 1754, en route from north carolina, he meets ben franklin in philadelphia. his father is facing difficulties collecting on those debts and advises bob to become a lawyer and do it as fast as possible and help him out. bob takes his advice to heart and reads the law. excuse me, no law schools existed and he reads the law with a distant cousin named samuel willard and joins him during the french and indian war at crown point, a hot spot in the now raging french indian war of eight of 1755 for willard's regiment, bob serves as chaplain, and he gives a sermon.

the first black president could not own his his his blackness or his connections to a black constituency. and that sort of way, as opposed to his vp or his former vp, joe biden, a white president who could, you know, in a full throated way, own or own up to what he he wanted to do in terms of race and so forth. so obama is still very much involved in american politics, but behind the scenes, it's really his style. he's tried to not he's tried not to become a foil for the right that is a foil for mr. trump and his allies about being overexposed, allowing himself to be used as a distraction from some of the things that were going on in the trump administration. and so he was very careful not to be outspoken in that way. and also, that's a tradition of american presidents. george bush did that for him. george bush simply, i think, in a tradition of american presidents post-presidency, simply faded away. and as barack obama ran against george bushes, his his presidency and his legacy and so forth, mr. bush was, you know, sort of a generally gentlemanly agreement. you don't you don't as forme

some of his friends thought he would change his mind.of course, when the great war raged, though, could nay though a young lincoln take no comfort in notions of life everlasting. there was a kind of personal survival beyond death that lincoln did believe in. what he yearned for been described by historian the bruce as immortality through remembrance, eternal consciousness by proxy in the mind of posterity. lincoln and sometimes spoken of this notion of immortality by. proxy the chance to live on the collective memory of the species. putting it as a question, bruce asked if felt the total annihilation of the self and intolerable prospect, and if he did could not achieve abiding faith in a literal afterlife. what alternative might he have taken? the answer was that the persist, that persistence in the historical record was the best. weakened, longed to live as mud. longed to win as much of immortality as fame can ever give. the darkest depression of lincoln's life descended on him in a january of 1841, after he broke off his engagement to

and so it frees him to, use his platform and his name and his credible intelligence and his willingness to do the research work that tell the truth to tell the truth about the mexican war, to tell the truth about ways in which southern politicians wanted to use the state department to try to force the british enforce slave policies on the high seas to free the amistad africans. right. he had that sort of flexibility because. he was not in public life and not ambitious in that way to go to new places. but he also was living in different times and i think that's really important. right. that what do you take from the you take it as something that sort of prevents and narrows your options or is it a framework in which you can creatively look to solve problems and to bring your moral perspective to to new times, new areas with new technologies and new political dynamics. and so that's what i would like readers to think about when they think about today is if they could do it right, if they could move, beyond the limits of precedent to solve real problems, shouldn't we? yes, sir. i can't qui

hardy his his his action that day left a lot to be desired. and what turned out in the course of the action, thomas is able to hold his position and roughly a little over 2000 casualties are inflicted upon both through the course of this day. on wednesday, july 1864, while this is occurring in a north south action above atlanta, coming from the on the georgia railroad making neckties, bending the rails around trees as they're advancing toward atlanta is mcpherson any army of the tennessee they had crossed the chattahoochee drop straight to the georgia railroad passed at a town called decatur six miles from atlanta and are moving westward toward atlanta. sherman has pushed mcpherson to try to enter atlanta with his troops because obviously hood is very involved with fighting against thomas on the north. it's this idea of wally's being engaged in the north should mcpherson should have an easier job of that coming in from the east on an east west action. but as he had done right before the battle issaka mcpherson will vacillate he'll be very slow

things fall out of his his suitcase. so there must be some there must be a psychologist or psychiatrist in the audience who would tell us what that what that particular means. but the story the boarding school is just so i mean, i was doing my my research. it just i mean, i shuddered. the kid is sent off from florida to bobby school. what's the name of the school? the portsmouth abbey. and bobby's. how much older? and. well, there was nobody in that school who was ted, right. so. so ted, it was like a junior high and. yeah, ted is seven and everybody else is 12, 13, and ted arrives with his turtle a pet turtle, that's his pet turtle. and the poor turtle dies and that that and the kids to torture ted. you know, ted has a little funeral for turtle and the kids dig it up and they start throwing it around the dorm because, you know, they're 15. they're 14. and ted is is being tortured. he gets it back and sadly. but and in another day in the schoolyard, he's getting beaten up. and bobby walks by and teddy looks at him and sa

from his great grandparents from his aunts and from his uncles. we would like to play for you a very short video featuring mr. turner. bruce l turner the great, great grandson of nat turner. bruce turner story. a story of spirituality hope and the black struggle. freedom and justice in america during slavery. his great great grandfather, nat turner, was a leader, preacher and enslaved man who would lead a rebellion of enslaved people against their oppressors. in 1831. nat turner's rebellion of 1831 made a lasting impact in the to follow. abolitionists his rebellion exalted virtues of nat turner as, a crusader against the evils of slavery. nat turner influenced fighters like frederick douglass and others. turner's legacy will to be remembered and, honored through his family that continues to share his story through oral history and documentation. his great great great grandson, bruce turner, spent most of his childhood living southampton county, whereby he received an abundance of information on the nat turner legend from grandparents, great grandp

surviving son buster putting his head in his hands. his brother wiping away tears. and on those financial crimes, another admission from murdaugh. >> i can say i did wrong. i stole money that wasn't mine, and i shouldn't have done it. >> reporter: and prosecutors asking murdaugh why, in all the interviews with police, he never used those terms of endearment for hs wife and son. >> and this jury, of course, has heard multiple recorded statements of you during the course of this. did you ever refer to paul as paul-paul during that? >> i don't know. >> reporter: murdaugh's every word now under the microscope, his decision to take the stand, a high-risk move. >> this is awfully risky for him to do. any tear drop will be scrutinized, any look that he gives to the jury will be examined. not just what he says, but how he says it. >> reporter: that cross examination will continue in the morning. the prosecutor couldn't even estimate how much longer this will take. david? >> eva pilgrim leading us off tonight. eva, thank you. >>> we're going to

his grandchildren was whom he had his best days. i first met him when i was a staffer with senator helms. i would talk to him over the years. he was always a delight. he would cut to the chase in a very charming and direct way and there was never any question of what he liked or what he didn't like. you always knew right where he stood on the matter. he was a lion of a man with a heart of gold. he was well-known as a devout family man and exceptional member of his community. one who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. starting from very humble beginnings in the 1960's and with no agriculture experience, bill pioneered what is now one of the country's largest family-owned and family-operated an man protein production companies. the foundation of this family enterprise was laid when bill joined his good friend, otis carol, whom he met upon moving to north carolina. these two great entrepreneurs joined together and transformed pork and turkey production. in 1983 bill, along with his wife, marsha and his sons, establ

i think he was an incredibly man who claimed he i when he was courting his his his wife, martha, he wrote her at one point, i'm not one of these people who feels i have to etch my my on the rock before tide sweeps me away. well, he wanted to say that exactly on the actually exactly. and he he went to medical school but he was always looking well what can i do that will somehow constitute a breakthrough. and he was always intrigued by everything from ancient civilizations to current behavior here. and so as you say he he actually at one point he experimented with cocaine because a friend of his had it had cut himself in the lab, was working in an in a lab and a friend of his is had cut himself wild. you have a well performing an autopsy on a corpse and had become addicted to morphine and there was any red in the about the incas and cocaine and he became convinced this this be it this might be the miracle drug can cure my friend and he began experimenting with his friend and then with himself and. and for a while it seemed wow, this is unbelievable. and then course it became another addicti

country and loves his people.s how i think. every time i somehow read the feat of our guys there. now in this special operation there is incredible what they are doing, how they gnaw out this victory with their teeth, i remember this hysterical vysotsky now . someone stood up. it weighs a bow. i took a bullet on my breath. but a battalion crawls west to west so that the sun rises in the east belly through the mud of the swamps, but we close our eyes to the smell now the sun is moving normally across the sky, because we are rushing to the west, arms and legs in place or not, as at the wedding of rasu at destroying the earth, we pull the teeth with the stalk towards ourselves away from ourselves, we turned the earth back, it was the case. first , our battalion commander spun it back, pushing off with his foot from the urals, and finally we were given the order to advance to take away our drunken crumbs. but we remember how the sun set at five and almost set. in the east. we do not trust the earth with steps. her for

, this is not tarkovsky yes, but he has his own laws and his own family helped his creative life.t was good for us to do the maximum in it. this vivid episode from the caucasian captive is pure improvisation georgy vitsin himself suggested that his hero stand on the road in the center of the trinity and at first desperately escape, and then give up and blow. there's also something in this scene came up with, vitsin used to be the only banknote of truth stepped on it, stood there, it all happened by accident. let's keep going, keep going. it was said that for such jokes the actors of the caucasian captive received a reward, almost on the set, there was an announcement from leonid gaidai himself saying that the one who offers an interesting trick for the comedy will receive a bottle of champagne as a prize. as a result, yuri nikulin managed to earn as many as 24 bottles . evgeny morgunov is 18, and georgy vitsin has two in each film. what a good joke he bought champagne, it was complete nonsense , there was no such thing, all four of them, no one could stand champagne. so where is h

he'd his his mobility. so this is this is lee's big concern. he wants to hold that line up there on the rapidan river. so this is the way the campaign is going to start. i'm not going to go detail about the battles that lead up to cold harbor, but i want to give you a sense of the developments that were taking place, because that'll a lot of what happens at cold harbor. i'm also doing this to save you a lot of time and money because now you're not going to have to buy my five books about the overland. all right. don't tell lsu press that i've done. that's that's the deal we got to make. okay. so let me just you a snapshot on each of those with respect to developments that are going to play a big part when we hit cold harbor. so may third, 1864, union army army of the potomac starts its movement. and what does it do? well, i know there's popular image of grant as being a general that like to make headlong assaults. who would needlessly throw men against entrenchment who never maneuvered. well, he begins a campaign with a maneuver. the union army

in following his lead. he was kind of a leader of the american imagination and the american self conception. and that self conception is so important to the american civic conscious and consciousness. he was part of that in his mythmaking. norman rockwell was an anecdotal myth maker of america. you may object to his earlier portrayals of sentimental scenes of american life, but if you look at his paintings into the 1960's, he did evolve and see the issues of justice where black people were involved and he made images that responded to that awareness. host: let's hear from chris calling in from salisbury, connecticut. please go ahead. caller: this is christian. it is simsbury, connecticut. host: you need to check with your phone company because your name comes up misspelled and so does your city. go ahead. caller: not a problem. as an elder to mr. morrow by two years, i wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for his ability to maintain balance in his writings and expressions. and i cannot say strongly enough

this is not his government. he is invited the house to come and address and he walks into a co-equal branch of government. now, after the pomp. the speech takes on today, all of the hallmarks of a political rally. right. if there is one feature from a state of the union address that we are probably all really familiar with, it is the incessant applause and then the unusual particularly or perhaps during divided government, when one party controls one or both houses, right. and the president is of a different party when the president says something that his party really likes and if the speaker is of his party, the speaker stands. but they are if the vice president will stand, obviously, the vice president would be if his party and speaker is not the speaker remain seated while vice president applauds this really awkward during the clinton years just because al gore had an interesting way of applauding the president, you know, and they sometimes they stand together sometimes they don't stand at all sometimes half

to his base. i talked to academics about this. you see someone wearing a similar shirt to you, you say that is a nice shirt. it doesn't register too much. but if you see somebody eating the same kind of food that you like, it -- it triggers something in our primal brain. it always goes back to prehistory where food was a matter of life and death on a daily basis. if he saw someone eating the same kind of food you did, that meant you were of the same tribe. and it is true today, and it is not a conscious thought we had. , it is an emotional impulse. much like reagan and his jellybeans, trump was saying, if you like the same kind of food i do, both for me. he didn't have to say that, it was just the message of those images. and like reagan, when he hoste a football team scalled burger banquet in the state ni roo under the portrait of a blinken at the white house, the images of that dinner went around the world instantly, and became defining ones. and people, traditionalists about sides of the isle w

his cadence not just with his walk, but his and our lincoln. tell me. because he studied it a lot. has told me that daniel day-lewis is portrayal of lincoln was very good, very spot on from all the things written about him and all the research done on him and as far as the gettysburg address, well, obviously it's not like today where the minute you've made a speech, it's beamed all over the world or as you're making the speech, it's beamed. but it was well received and and, you know, case in point was everett, who was saying you said in two and a half words what i couldn't say in two and a half hours, he realized off the bat that that lincoln hit the ball out of the park and lincoln was not one to. i mean, he had a lot of self-deprecating. one saw woman to accused him of being two faced. and he said if i had two faces would i be wearing this one. so, yes. so clearly i mean he had self-deprecating humor, but every once in a while knew when he kind of hit it of the park. if. and the gettysburg address was one of them. and so he obliged when people asked him to write it out. thank. th

-- not just his wife, but his son at close range. >> yeah.ple -- as a prosecutor, people killed each other because someone looked at them funny, or someone didn't like the way their chicken dinner was made by their wife. people happen to kill at the most random times. the issue is they think he planned it. it's not just an act of immediate reaction where he is suddenly killing his family. so they think he actually planned it. you have to accept that the motive, the finances are the reason that he planned this elaborate steam to kill his wife and his son. and you have to question why. by the way, he is a lawyer. so he is going to know that if his wife is killed, who are they going to look at? they're going to look at him. they're going to look at his finances, which is exactly what he doesn't want. >> also, he did allegedly hire somebody to shoot him in the head for insurance purposes. >> yeah. i'm not sure i agree that he did that for insurance purposes. i'm so suspect about that. i think, my theory is that he had shot -- he knew he wasn't go

his upbringing was as dramatic as his creations. francisco franco's nationalist forces. and he had fashion in his veins. his mother was a seamstress for cristobal balenciaga. that heritage and his mark on the fashion industry earned him several honours from france and spain. reacting to the news of his death, puig's fashion president said "there is only one rabanne." the former brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro has given a speech at his first public event since he lost the election and left his country for the united states ahead of the inauguration of president lula. mr bolsonaro is facing investigation in brazil over his role in the storming of government buildings in brasilia by his supporters last month. 0ur correspondent will grant told me more about what he had to say. well, i think if his supporters were waiting for him to say that he is about to make an imminent return to frontline politics in brazil or anything of that nature, that wasn't forthcoming, nor did he make any explicit reference that i could make out about the ev

in his diary, his letters, thousands of dispatches to the state department, his memoirs, ten years in japan and turbulent era that the final report survives like a palimpsest. so does its enticing, wrenching question. what if drew knew the answer the question was unanswerable. this book is about how he came to ask about the experiences of the man on the spot during ten years of intrigues, provocation and failed negotiations that preceded december 7th, 1941, grew as a lens into a decade of world shaking history. he was our man in tokyo again. thank you very much for listening. and i'd love to answer some questions. thank you so much, steve. that was super interesting. we do have a bunch of questions already from our audience, but there's still, if you have one, to add it to the q&a box. so i'm going to start with a question that maybe goes back earlier to your presentation, but how is it possible for the japanese military to dominate the public press and japanese opinion that's a good question. the japanese government, they did. they did the big things in the little things. first of al

own interests, which led to his downfall. he was the one who was leading reza khan to two places, and he had given many things to this. in fact, both hedayat and mehdi farrokh moatasam sultan say that he trusted you so much. timurtash's correspondence and this concern we see that reza shah is suspicious of him, and a letter has been written to the selected team of the year, he has been honored for his experience, you are a very strong person , adam kardan wrote a letter saying that mahmeh are the servants of his majesty homayouni, amin fayyaz, and the same fat and soft language to the position of the representative of the constitutional assembly and the president of khorasan, and the vice-chancellor of the baloch government. he joined khorasan and then ruled gilan, but what happened when the fortune of abdul hossein khan , who had brought him to the royal court since his birth, declined, and the man whom reza khan had repeatedly said was a movable giant, dear , fell into the dungeons of the palace prison, timurtash says reza

his light. when my mother called me and said my baby brother was gone, i lost my faith. i cried. i screamed at god, asking how could he let this happen. and then my cries turned to anger, and anger turned to deep sorrow. and a pain i never felt when those monsters murdered my baby brother. it left me completely heartbroken. i see the world showing him love and fighting for his justice. but all i want is my baby brother back. and even in his demise, he was still polite. he asked them to please stop. he was still the polite young man he always was. he asked them to please stop. and they didn't. and that's why my family will never be the same, and i will just always love my baby brother forever. thank you. [ applause ]. >> this is going to be tough. i'm just trying to go home. i'm just trying to go home. is that too much to ask? i didn't break any laws along this path. i've skated across barriers designed to hold me back. i'm just trying to go home, where the love is loud, and the smiles are warm,

hi. this morning. president biden is opening up about those classified documents found at his home and former office, calling the files straight papers from decades ago . the best of my knowledge, the kinds of things they picked up or things that from 1974 and stray papers. there may be something else i don't know. interview, the president defended himself, saying the searches for those documents were on a voluntary basis, and he shifted some blame to the people who packed up his offices. they didn't do the kind of job that should have been done to go thoroughly through every single piece of literature . that's there. the president also defended his handling of the chinese spy balloon last week after the pentagon waited days to shoot it down over the ocean. fearing people on the ground could get injured. critics have called the decision to wait a dereliction of duty. the idea that it was a dereliction of duties, i think is it's been our bizarre notion . china knows exactly that what the deal is with us

and his family is preparing a surprise birthday party that might be his last. as siblings bicker and board kids misbehave, torn as young daughter sole, tries to make sense of it. all. saul is impressively played by now. he may st. is the ensemble piece with a documentary feel is an impressive 2nd feature from lela aviles? ah, well, that's all for now. next phase focus on europe and i look at turkey's earthquake quino and there's plenty more few on t, w dot com and on d, w social media channels. you can find a way to handle dw news. i pop up on the list for me and the team here. brandt, thanks for watching. tiger with you. oh, there's is the story of many ukrainians before rushes invasion. martin and siri had trained as volunteers for emergencies. since the beginning of the war, they have been in combat. even fighting directly at the front focus on europe. next, on d, w. conflict. the war in ukraine got a powerful international squash life this past week. i level politicians, method, community purity conference, to discuss more and foster brain. my guess this we

his he was buried there. he's not there anymore. but his grave, his original gravesite was there. and she covered it with pebbles from the river nearby. and she sold the pebbles to tourists, came by for $0.50 a piece. and of course, when the pebbles ran low, she went down and got some more and put them on there and they still do that. you can still buy a pebble for $0.50. so it's one of the few things in america that inflation hasn't affected. so we went to custer. oh, little big one. i would highly recommend the little bighorn national monument. it's there was a fought for two decades by the native american tribes that wanted to be at the at the little bighorn. and they made a compelling case to congress. in congress that it's usual 20 years of mulling it over. and finally funding it. so now it's a very well balanced site. it's very moving. you can picture how awful they had to be for both sides. fighting under this broiling sun at quarters being shot at, no water. and you really get a good sense of what it must have been like to be there at the time. so i would i'm glad you poin

his chest.f he does decide to run, many are waiting for the inevitable showdown between him and donald trump. how would that battle look? >> mr. desantis, i think, has indicated that he is not going to take donald trump on frontally. he's not going to go down the list of policies and disagree with mr. trump on point after point. he's going to try to -- younger, more in control self, more in control of his government, and try to beat president biden in the general election. he will argue implicitly, and probably explicitly, that his relative youth will serve as a useful contrast with president biden, unlike mr. trump, who is in his late 70's. fraser: if you had to take out a crystal ball and make a prediction for that election, what would your prediction be? are we in for rerun of 2020, biden versus trump, or could we see biden versus desantis? >> we could be seeing biden rsus desantis. recent polls indicate that former president trump maintains a healthy lead over mr. desanti for e republican no

>> no. >> did he have blood on his shoes? >> no. >> he have blood on his hair?urdaugh didn't have blood on him when he went to his mom's house, what would that mean necessarily? >> well, anderson, based on the timing, he likely went to his mom's house after those murders had already occurred. so it could mean if he didn't have blood on him that he really wasn't there at the time of the murders, as he has said. or it could mean, as the prosecutors suggested, that he washed up and changed his clothes after allegedly killing his wife and son. now we know from the caregiver at his mom's house he was wearing shorts and a white t-shirt when he showed up there which is different than the clothing he was wearing about an hour before the murders happened to occur on the snapchat video that his son paul had sent out. the jury will have to decide which one they believe on that. but also one note on that blue raincoat. the witness who oversaw all of the testing of the gunshot residue on that raincoat, she is going to take the stand tomorrow. she will likely say there was gu
