with a book called atlas shrugged and in the iran version of the self-made myth it's almost like horatio alger on steroids not only are her the business people in her book responsible for their own success and fortune but they're responsible for the success of the entire nation around them it's like they're holding the whole world up like the greek titan atlas saying in her novels and. and again the notion that all wealth derives from these heroic individuals and in today's. punditry of the language and the pundits that you are today you hear job creators that's really an echo of that old myth you know again it serves a political purpose and there are people who are bankrolling this narrative. john allison who's a former banker with b.b. and t. has been giving two million dollars grants to universities and colleges to create a course on capitalism provided that they include iran's applet shrugged as required reading for the course sixty universities have taken him up on the offer despite the objections of college professors about wealthy donors dictating course curriculum again they know

his name was horatio gates. horatio gates was not a man much troubled by principle or loyalty. early in the war he had distinguished him as the commander of the american army at the battle of saratoga. a great victor in saratoga where he defeated general burgoyne. we sometimes forget about that year, 1777. called by the british for the year of the hangman for the three sevens being the gallows. and, general washington retreated from brandywine, germantown, and lost philadelphia. washington's reputn

horatio gates had served in the french and indian wars, and philip schuyler. they all had. anybody who knew anything about warfare had learned it from the british. c-span: so in the british army at that time could there also have been americans? >> guest: yes. the british troops in boston were not colonials. they were british redcoats, so they would not have been colonial troops. in other words, there would have been no men of concord fighting against other men of concord, no. c-span: and benedict arnold, born in this country, on his way to cambridge, is a part of the new haven militia. >> guest: yes. "let's go, boys." absolutely. so he gets to cambridge, and he manages to introduce himself to a man named joseph warren, who was a doctor and a member of the same masonic lodge as paul revere, which is the masonic lodge that is widely believed to have perpetrated the tea party, and arnold was a mason. the masons in the colonies, if you were a mason you went to another town and you automatically were accepted by the other masons, who tended to be not only the social leaders and

horatio, arwin, and we'll get into that in a second.thing compared to the snowy wintry cold state of maine, where i went for my extreme winter campout to try a wild, wild winter spot. i strapped skis to my feet and myself to the back of a horse. take a look. >> what? >> it's true. strapped to a horse. skiing at a breakneck pace. seems like a bad idea, right? it's the exhilarating sport of s skijoring. who lived to tell about it? every year, brave souls gather in white fish, montana, for the skijoring championships. >> we're going to head to the puppie puppies. >> reporter: i headed to mason township. steve operates new england dog sledding and the wilderness lodge. skijoring is done with horses and dogs. steve and i were going the feed the puppies. immediately, i was ransacked by some of the best bred dogs in the world. look out, hawk. i didn't come to feed puppies. i came to do some skijoring. >> put the legs in. >> we reached the site, steve pu a harness on harvey. are you going to help me out? then it was my tirn. i guess i'm fatter

more desirous of saying this, and that is, i think as basic as the flag symbol for america is the horatioalger story. that is onward, upward. we believed it for our children, but the children aren't seeing it come true in today's society. the child no longer, by getting the extra education, is going to get a better job and lead a better life than his parents. traditionally, from the beginning of the united states, it was always, "you can succeed," and now, it's disillusionment. these mbas and whatnot can't get a job of any sort because they're too qualified. so this means a whole economic upheaval, but also the disillusionment, because it was a symbol, and always has been for us. >> and any nation has to go constantly reform its identity and relationships, repackaged for its civil religious sentiments, if it's going to continue down the pike - you can't just stay in the past. >> these are the future. these are the people who will be governing in another 10, 15 years. >> and they have to have some kind of ideals. and i often think that should have - train millions of religious studies prof

eisenhower the president who championed freedom and prosperity, the narrative relies on a romantic horatio alger notion. the the eisenhower our nation wants us to celebrate is not a dreamy boy but a real man who faced unthinkable choices, took personal responsibility and did his duty with modesty and hul humility. we've heard from many people in the last who who have objection to the 80-foot metal mesh so-called tapestrietapestries. modern tapestries have generally been found in the communist world. a number of people have said these metal skrims are an iron curtain. if the columns also be seen as missile silos? the number of people including holocaust survivors have noted me and said they are reminiscent of internment. one survive told me that the chain link reminded her of the catches. the proposal metal curtains are to provide a screen that would partially obscure the lyndon johnson department of education. we have been concerned and others would agree that this could be seen as a symbolic affront to one of eisenhower's contemporary, majority leader of the senate during his presidency.

the american dream, when people think about the american dream, they think about money, think about horatio algier's rags to riches stories, and that's part of it. but there's another part of the american dream, kind of american striver culture, that has to do with education, has to do with intellectual betterment, cultural betterment, and this is what blue collar intellectuals is about. i can't think of any of the intellectuals that better fits this american dream than a fellow named will durant. and you -- some of you probably know him as the author of that gigantic series called "the story of civilization." spent almost a half century writing the history of the world. 11 volumes. and will durant took the interesting part of -- his father was an immigrant to this country. he worked in a factory. he had one of these supersized families of 11. we don't see too much anymore. i think most pert inept for our conversation is that will durant's dad couldn't read or write. his son, in 1926, wrote a book called "the story of philosophy." and in 1927 this was the best-selling book in the united sta
