hoover." brian: richard norton smith, why did you call your book you wrote 35 years ago, "an uncommon man." mr. smith: it's taken from the title of a relatively famous hoover speech about the uncommon man. remember vice president henry wallace, who was the second of fdr's vice president, gave a famous speech in 1942, i believe, maybe 1943, about the common man. and wallace, a from a left of center perspective, was projecting the goals and ambitions of the generation that was fighting world war ii. it wasn't enough to simply be the nazis, but to create at home a true democracy, a place where the common man would finally come into his own. and hoover approached this from a different place on the political spectrum. he was making the case for what we might call a meritocracy. i should not paraphrase it, but when you get sick, you want an uncommonly skillful doctor. when we go to war, we want an uncommonly able general. you get the picture. the advances in society were brought about not by common

jesse hoover. mother, they were both quakers, which meant she was an equal presence in the church, community, the home. she was a lay preacher, if you will. religion was a significant part of his early days. he remembered -- and again, it seems to me such a window on his later shortcomings, if you will, as a politician in particular. he remembered as a boy sitting in the stark, cold, barren meetinghouse the quakers used in west branch, in his feet did not even touch the floor. along with all the adults, men on one side, women on the other, waiting for the divine light to illuminate his life and move him to speak as it moved others in the congregation. he also said something terribly poignant. he said he was 10 years old before he realized he could do something for the sheer joy of it without offending the lord. when people wrote about the adult hoover being an enigma, and emotionally distant, who was clearly moved by suffering, particularly of children in belgium and thereafter, they had trouble ma

and he asked hoover, basically gave hoover a choice., hoover picked the commerce department, which in those days was perhaps the least important department in the cabinet. but of course, hoover being hoover, soon there were cartoons portraying him as secretary of commerce and undersecretary of everything else. and he did ruffle a lot of feathers, because he used -- well, he created something out of what was there. the federal radio commission. radio is regulated because hoover started it. the forerunner of the fcc. outset, he was certain that he did not want a bbc-type arrangement. he wanted government to regulate the industry, but he did not want government to run the industry. with mms repercussions ever since. -- with an ou enormous repercussions ever since. the first airfield in washington was hoover, hoover field, over where the pentagon is now. he wrote zoning regulations that could be adapted all of the country. he promoted construction of new housing with standardized products. sounds kind of dull, but the fact is that hoover wa

that is not to excuse hoover.ver's great feeling, -- great time, he existed in the shadow of fdr. fdr did so much more. but in the context of the time, what hoover did was seen as so much more than predecessors. we had had great depressions before. grover cleveland in the 1890's. the notion that the government, the federal government especially, would step in and try to correct the economic cycle, was heresy. depressions were acts of god. there were booms and busts and there was nothing you could do about it. that was the philosophy that andrew mellon, hoover's holdover secretary of the treasury, maintained. he basically told the president, flush out the system. the bad, the crooked bankers, the speculators, all of hobbesian was economics. hoover's response was to get a new secretary of the treasury. to the court of st. james. think that into 1929, the stock market crash and the next day they were bread lines. 1930, the new york times and other media outlets praised hoover for doing more than any other president b

herbert hoover in 1929 was talking about its potential, but he wasn't able to exploit that. fdr was, and fdr understood the power of radio better than anyone else in his time. what is interesting about what i am looking at and researching is that by 1939, roosevelt also understood that he could not do it by himself. we think of politics and radio in the 1930's and we think fdr , we think fireside chats. in this debate, roosevelt knew he could not be on the radio all of the time. he had learned, by that point, that his ability to go on the radio and talk to the nation was political capital that he had to spend very carefully. and so one of the things i found in my research is that, even before world war ii started in europe, roosevelt was looking to other people to go on the radio and advance ideas that he liked. when the war began, he contacted others, 'would you meet with some like-minded folks and talk to them about going on the radio?' he understood that the more he talked, the less effective he would be. so he wanted to broaden that. and one of the things that happens du

hoover -- lou hoover -- and she was phenomenal.and, everything she did -- from the girl scout -- on, was just remarkable, and so i think, what you do, is tell her story. the clothes can be there, but her story, and her influence, they are tremendous. and, that is the thing to do. is to make sure that everybody understands, she was not just walking around and address. she was also, doing something very significant. and that is true of all of them. >> i just reviewed a brand-new book by the university of kansas, which has an entire series, starting with mrs. mckinley, modern first ladies, all done from a scholarly perspective, so it gives you more than the passions -- and the food. -- fashion and food. but i just reviewed a young scholar, and it is called first ladies and american women, and it traces from modern first ladies, starting with mrs. hoover, the relationship, between first ladies, and american history, particularly feminist history, and so, i think that is the way to do it as well. >> thank you for your attention, and you

in >> host: thomas hazlett your new book is called the political spectrum technology from herbert hoover to the smartphone. >> guest: is not a technical book and not a hard read but a lot of stories about where we are now on how we got here in the wireless world. it's really quite fascinating how we got here in the politics other than how the 1927 radio act basically determined but would work in the market and what wouldn't have her firms led to the stuff we are dealing with today that we carry in our pockets. >> would assure expertise to write a book like this? >> guest: i'm an economist. i'm here at cbs looking at all the great innovation but i look at it from a policy standpoint. i'm a professor. i served as chief economist for the federal communications commission and i have written and researched how we allocate radio spectrum and the airwaves are going to wireless communication for about 30 years now. that's a great question. now much time do we have? we are getting something a lot more right than we used to. the basic framework of the system which comes from the 19th 27 radio act

we are giving -- practically for herbert hoover. he is remembered negatively for the great depression. when i was in graduate school he was called not progressive enough for the time. he was famous for his organization of the belgian food relief. it was so successful that he kind of built up an organization . he ends up being named head of the food administration for the production of food during the war. hoover really kind of has an interesting part, it goes from -- they whipping boy for the depression but it was illustrative of the larger thing about world war i, many famous individuals, franklin roosevelt, george patton, herbert hoover, really cut their teeth in world war i and will have a larger impact on the u.s. in world war ii. this is a great item as well. number -- this is some paper dolls that were sent in an roughly 1915, you see the one with the stars & stripes. this is just tying into -- we often think of the war as european. but you can see american had relief and we were trying to raise money for the troops that were
