was hoover the villain? well, i don't know that hoover was a villain.ver was carrying on the existing point of view that had dominated the behavior of the government up until that time-- namely, that it wasn't the government's business. laissez faire was the way in which the economy should operate. the price system would make the necessary adjustments. if things were going well, people would make profits, and if they weren't, they wouldn't make profits, and that would help in the adjusting process. this was the state of mind. this was what economists were saying, and the government had behaved that way for a long, long, long time. as the 1920s faded, and with them, the memories of prosperity, the 1930s brought an awareness that there was a serious split between traditional economic theories and present economic realities. john maynard keynes was building a theory that dealt with total purchasing power-- aggregate demand-- and asking whether this was in balance with aggregate supply. his answers pointed to a path out of the depression. essentially what k

edgar hoover.s sent to martin luther king. >> cointel was revealed as a result of a document in the media burglary that just simply had that label on the top, and that was the cue that carl stern took up. .. who did you send the documents to? >> starting with the last question we sent out the documents in waves. the initial set went to betty and to scoop nelson at the bureau of the "l.a. times" to tom wicker, two representative mitchell and senator george mcgovern. senator mcgovern and representative mitchell sent them back to the fbi. mitchell at least said there was material in it which is further than mcgovern went. tom wicker went back to the fbi also. i don't think anyone knows for sure how that happened whether he returned them or whether they were accepted and returned them. no one knows but once it went to nelson he went to his deathbed knowing he never sent the files because there was an fbi informer reading all of his mail and grabbed the documents to send back. luckily betty was not high

edgar hoover and the fbi.tunately when i accidentally found two of the burglars, in 1989, fortunately they had agreed to come forward and tell their story. they first came forward on the day that the burglaries book was published. it was also about their story that will be shown here for the first time on may 28 that at the constitution center, it seems like a very appropriate thing at the constitution center. and so things to this, that they would no longer be silent, this includes the significance of what they did and hope that it is remembered. i will start with a question that i think a lot of people ask and it was just asked of me by reporter today who is trying to figure out how we were able to do this. what made it possible for you to do such a radical thing. was it in your evolution at that time? how would you describe how it was possible? >> i think that that is probably harder for the younger people to understand and there were an awful lot of things very wrong with our country at that time. not that

he was more in the hoover image. he quickly got back into line.'s forecast showed unemployment climbing past 6% during the winter of 1954, the highest level since the depression. millions of workers were idle. eisenhower went to the people to urge confidence. he predicted the economy would improve. he promised spending programs if it didn't. he was ready to take action, but didn't have to. if you keep tax rates stable, then the revenue will fall when the economy falls because people have less income. the revenue will rise when the economy rises because people will have more income. that stabilizes the economy. some expenditures will rise in a recession, unemployment compensation, for example. we at the committee for economic development coined that term, "stabilizing budget policy," and meant it to describe one in which, except in extraordinary circumstances, you rely on these automatic stabilizers. during the 1954 recession, these automatic stabilizers left an additional $10 billion in american consumers' pockets, dollars that would go to the tre

that's the message president hoover kept delivering.cambridge, england, john maynard keynes was telling students the american economy would get worse. people lost jobs and stopped spending. as they stopped buying, stores stopped ordering. more factories closed. more jobs were lost. more stores and businesses failed-- a vicious downward spiral. we were increasingly convinced, because the depression went on, that former economists' belief that the boat automatically righted itself was wrong. it wasn't a rocking boat. it was something else. what keynes suggested was that the metaphor was not a boat. it was more like an elevator which ordinarily ran up and down but could stall. there was something in-- that the system had no automatic, self-regulatory device. that appealed to us because we didn't see any automatic self-righting of the elevator back to floor one. it's a bitter irony that virtually everything the hoover administration tried only made things worse. both republicans and democrats believed in a balanced budget. by 1932, the budg

edgar hoover. hoover was a next-door neighbor of lyndon johnson was a close political ally of lyndon johnson. between 1951-1961 the fbi budget has tripled due to the actions of senate majority leader lyndon johnson. when lyndon johnson stole his election in 1948, but a totally disputed and fraudulent 86 votes, j. edgar hoover flew down for the victory party in austin. so they were very close and, of course, hoover had his own motives. he knew he was facing mandatory retirement. he knew the kennedys would put him out to past year in 1954. so his motive was clear. in any event, johnson's matches for kennedy was, you need me, you need texas, and if you don't put me on the ticket, i'll just take this dossier and i'll give it to dick nixon. remember, nixon and kennedy were locked in a skin tight race for president. so kennedy vineyard and he put johnson on the ticket. the next day a reporter was in shock, how to give up the most powerful jobs in washington, u.s.a. majority leader to be vice president, a

incumbent president herbert hoover was routed at the polls by franklin delano roosevelt.great nation will endure as it has endured. first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. in his inaugural address, roosevelt pledged to establish strong banking safeguards. there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credit and investments. there must be an end to speculation with other people's money. one of roosevelt's first presidential acts was to declare a national bank holiday. merritt sherman, who was with the federal reserve then, tells us why roosevelt took this action. what roosevelt was trying to do was to create a period in which the whole banking system, individual banks, could be reviewed by bank examiners, by experts who had a great deal of information about banks, and enable them, through the procedure of licensing banks to reopen, to carry out the promise made by the president that any bank that was reopened would be able to stay open. in his fireside chat, fdr told the nation that the reopened banks were safe

because i am canadian and it was hoovered there's different intensity level different. where in russia the russians are at home and whatever russian is skiing down the course they proudly go and say it wasn't as intense for canadians or other athletes but in some ways i think it was kind of a relief kind of feel like here too is very exciting the night of the event the crowd there there's. definitely olympic by. now some of the biggest sporting names in the world have been on the. day when russia contingent attended a press conference ahead of. venier in two days' time in attendance was. ready for the winter olympics despite missing the whole of last month in the n.h.l. through injury. and it seems that despite the pressure of playing in front of an expectant home crowd spirits in the russian. who do you want to hear first. count. i think because we're playing at home we'll have a lot more brotherly support the entire country will be cheering force we will be united. i agree with our captain and he deserves his title he is very experienced respected by the entire hockey
