so, just briefly, 1932 arena hickok, hick was assigned to cover eleanor roosevelt. this was during fdr's first run for the presidency. she did cover her all through the campaign and a little bit "after words", but then, the relationship began to shift. eleanor started confiding in her and trusting her more and more and she started falling in love with eleanor and vice versa, eleanor with her. by the time fdr was and are graded, it was very clear that hick knew so much about roosevelt and was so in love with eleanor that she couldn't continue as an ap reporter. she was one of the few women at the very top of the ladder in the ap, it was really a male world and she had climbed her way to to to the top and succeeded. so, this was very poignant, but she was under pressure from her bosses. they were pressuring her more and more about roosevelt secrets, and the roosevelt had a lot of secrets. she felt more more oil. on the night before the inauguration she was with eleanor and fdr was in the next room with his son polishing up his speech to which he said the only thing we

george armstrong custer on june 25th of that year and then less than two months later "wild bill" hickokn august 2nd transformed to their realm in american mythology, entering the great pantheon of americans who are winners by virtue of being losers. certainly true of custer and, to a degree, i think, one could say that of hickok, as well, thousand i've never had and hope not to at any time in the near future, had the pleasure of aces and eights, the fabled dead man's hand that hickok had drawn just before jack mccall put an end to his career as a gambler and turned him into a hero. so i am here to look at the west in the 40 years that london was present with us. of course, that has to begin with the west of the gilded age, as several people have already mentioned. derived, as we all know, from mark twain and charles dudley warner's 1873 novel, "the gilded age: a tale of today," this for the decade spanned the last quarter of the 19th century has established itself as the irresistible metaphor. not only for the cynical malfeasance and unrelenting corruption of those years, but as the cha

any time in the near future had the pleasure of aces and eights, the fabled dead man's hand that hickok had drawn before jack mccall put an end to his career as a gambler, and turned him into a hero. so, i am here to look at the west in the 40 years that london was present with us. of course, that has to begin with the west of the gilded age, as several people have already mentioned. derived, as we all know from mark twain's and charles dudley warner 1983 novel, "a gilded age, a tale of today," this span of the last quarter of the 19th century has established itself as the irresistible metaphor, not only for the cynical malfeasance and uninterrupted corruption of those years, but as the characteristic description of the epitome of such behavior -- of the academy of such behavior in any other time and place, as we see today any number of people resurrecting it for our own time. but what is the west in that era? well, it is the region that spans the continent from the mississippi river to the pacific slope. it is one in which the extraction of wealth from often obdurate realms of land and

two hikers and bikers on this popular trail across from dartmouth hickok hospital. investigators say the fan snuck up behind the victim without warning. >> she was attacked from behind by a while male who grabbed her physically assaulted her. >> reporter: the woman fought back and the suspect panicked and ran to the parking lot where he left in a dark four-door sedan. he's a white male 18 to 25 years old described as having shaggy blonde hair and wearing a hooded sweatshirt. >> that's incredibly scary. i've never had anything but positive interactions with people out here. kind of terrifying to think that's a possibility. >> still the hikers say the woods are thick and can put anyone alone in a vulnerable position. ann has her dog by her side and will be on alert tonight. >> we will be aware and take care. >> reporter: police tell me the suspect did speak to the victim during the struggle and say those statements speak to his motive for the attack, but they say they aren't ready to realize that information yet. coming up at 6:00, why police are concerned how that wo

i can tell you that wild bill hickok would have a difficult time winning that draw if the subject already has the gun in his hand because it would take less than a tenth of a second to raise it and let a bullet fly toward that police officer. we can do this, we can go to a test lab and try this with toy guns, if you want. but i'm telling you the notion that he didn't raise the gun and therefore didn't pose a threat is absurd from a police officer's standpoint. secondly, he doesn't -- the officer doesn't shoot him the second he gets out as danny mentioned, it is an open carry state. he gets out of the car. they don't know who he is yet. they don't know if he has a lawful right to possess a weapon. he gets out of the car with that gun in his hand. and you can hear in his wife's video where the officers yell ten times at him to drop that gun and he doesn't comply. that indicates to them each time they yell and he doesn't comply, the level of threat goes up because now you wonder what is he going to do and it shouldn't be a guessing game, shouldn't be a quick draw contest between the police a
