jackson liked winder. winder did not like jackson and winder's diary which has never been published except occasional snippets, he was on june the 5th, three days before cross ki's, campaign almost over, he wrote in his diary, jackson is insane. that's directly from charles winder. two days later -- disgusted with jackson. on the 8th -- requesting to leave his command. he never got away. he died in battle exactly two months to the day after that last entry. dick garnett is the most famous of the officers who jackson threw into arrest. unjustly it seemed to me, a letter that's never been published by dr. freeman, whose name you all know, i'm sure. as he was writing his classic -- responded to a request from someone in a private letter, i never could understand why jackson persecuted dick garnet. even after the triumphant climax of the valley campaign, not all of the officers in close proximity were sure that jackson really had been skimfllful rath than lucky. a conclave of four of them agreed unanimously, o

jackson had a low opinion of caves. davis. jackson's world view was that thing wills were supposed to run according to the manual and davis not only had accepted way out of channels complaints about jackson during the romney campaign, it not only condition go through jackson, which is the way the book is supposed to be, but he might have for given that, they didn't go through his superior, they went right straight to the secretary of war. the secular leader of the war effort. and jackson also is said to have been -- this is not quite so well documented disgusted with davis' unwillingness to pursue after first manassas. but there is an adequately documented episode in the after math of the seven days when jefferson davis rode down past the battlefields on i think the morning of july 2 and came into the room where lee was for a conference with the leading commanders, jackson was present. he immediately stood up, stiffly at attention and promptly left the room. and there were evidence that's didn't want to be around davis. he nev

he's wishing he had jackson. so all across the army down here, 11th virginia, first corps, he's the man. i wish we had the whole army filled with jacksons instead of the leaders we have. and the enemy should not would be shipped from our spoil. literally thousands of such accolades i spent my whole life accumulating them, they grow redundant pretty quickly. the most striking one of all is dated just a day after first winchester by a member of the fix maryland. first maryland had been writ large and he wrote in an undated letter, may but with no date behind it, general jackson, my earthly god, well, that's going a little far, but it tells you what's happening. to become popular in the kind of anti-confederate writing currently in vogue to claim or pretend that defeated southerners created their heros, and that the war time leaders meant far more after the war than during the war, that lost cause business does not stand up to examination. the question of whether these confederate leaders deserved it is subjective e

>>what about michael jackson? >>well, i would rather not publicly comment on any discussions i've had with, ah, the jackson estate, but obviously with who we are and what services we offer, there have been different discussions with different people. (vo)jackson died in hollywood, but he was created and destroyed by hollywood too. it began in 1969, when the jackson family moved from the mid west. (vo)michael jackson enrolled at california prep, an exclusive private school of just ninety pupils, for kids of the hollywood elite - the brando's, the sonny and cher's, and now the jackson's. sitting next to michael at school was child star danny bonaduce from the sitcom the partridge family. he's agreed to talk to me about the hollywood that created jackson, and produced as many casualties as stars. >>what the (blanked) is it doing? (inaudible) stop! stop! >>this is my actual yearbook picture, also in the b's is christian brando, who is no longer with us. michael jackson. >>but you, you had a class of three and that was

he's wishing he had jackson.o all across the army down here, far from the valley, 11th virginia, first corps, first and last, not jackson's, he is the man. i wish we had the whole army filled with jacksons instead of the leaders we have. and the enemy soon would be shipped from our soil. literally thousands of such accolades exist. i've spent my whole life finding them, copying them, accumulating them. they grow redundant pretty quickly. the most strike one of all that i have found is dated from just a day after first winchester by a member of the 1st maryland. it had been writ large at front royal and he had been there. he wrote in an undated letter, may but with no date behind it, general jackson, my earthly god -- well, that's going a little far, but it tells you what's happening. to become popular in the kind of anti-confederate writing currently in vogue to claim or at least pretend that defeated southerners after the war created their here rows, ex post facto, because they needed heroes and that the wartime

that commitment requires us to terminate the application of the jackson vannic amendment. and jackson vannic achieved its historic purpose by helping thousands of jews emigrate from the soviet union and jackson vannic is not any longer the kind of active tool we need to promote universal human rights vis-a-vis russia. because we want to continue to press for human rights inside russia. but failure to lift jackson vannic will put our manufacturers, american businesses at a disadvantage. so we very much hope that congress will grant pntr to russia, lift jackson vannic, recognize the need to keep pressing on human rights inside russia and create american jobs as a result. and with respect to your other very important questions and areas of concern, congressman, i'll just end by saying we strongly support the work we're doing with colombia and brazil to promote rarcial and ethnic equality. we have the means to continue to work on that within the existing budget and it's a very high priority. >> thank you very much, mr. meeks. next the chairman on the subcommittee on oversight

yeah. >> that was whitney houston there talking about michael jackson.ous. two people from singing families who both died before they even reached 50. incredibly sad. very sad to see whitney talking about michael that way and then the same thing happening to her. what do you think of the parallels she drew there? >> have sobering. i think it speaks to the level of people born to tremendous success. it's inconceivable that every mistake appears in newspapers, that things you never thought do are in public view. and i think the burden that celebrities have, particularly those who are at the top of their field, is immeasurable. and i think you can see the parallels in that sense. but with regard to her music, whitney presented a kind of dignity and elegance that was embraced by the community. she was never disrecollectful to her tradition. her music was not only uplifting but her persona was so elegant and so dignified. she was in a class of people who come very rarely. >> she left at 48, which is relatively long. she covered more ground in 48 years than th

he went to the hermitage, actually and worked for jackson's, the federalist working for andrew jackson, the crazy populist democrat, but he'll do that, you know. he'll go that far and eventually he'll go to france and have a biography of napoleon and there he died but his wife became a very pitiful figure, pretty dependent upon drugs and things and died a pauper, but lee and his other brother charles carter, carter lee spent a lot of times trying to figure out what they could possibly do for their mother. they ended up sending her money, but it was never enough and that was black horse harry, and he was the one who had literally lost the farm. it was sold and eventually came to be betsy mccarty who was the sister of black horse harry's wife and she eventually was -- she, for 50 years, was the mistress of stratford. >> thank you so much.

that's the situation that occurred at jackson, mississippi, after medgar evers funeral. the black friends of medgar evers wanted to have a march down through the city of jackson, peaceful, quiet, dignified, and the police chief it was all right for them to march from the church to downtown, but they couldn't go on the main street in jackson. so, they crossed the main street and went into the black areas where the black shops and black stores are. and then some of the kids decided that they wanted to march up to -- up the main street, and they went back to the intersection, and when the police saw that, they cordoned off the intersection with a row of police, and then there started to be some rock throwing, and i happened to be there, so i walked out, and i made everybody stop. >> medgar evers had been shot by? >> james beckwith. a racist fellow from mississippi. medgar evers was the naacp leader in mississippi and a very excellent, wonderful man. and i knew him. had gone to get information on him beginning early in '61. seen him many times between '61 and '63, and i cons

it's exactly like it was with michael jackson. there were reports, simon, in the paper here in america that you were considering making an offer to whitney to be a host on "x factor in america." was that true? >> that's often what happens when people, you know, want to be on one of these shows, somebody tells someone to get the word out. it's normally a sign that they are interested. we were ironically going to meet on monday. of course, one of the names we were going to be talking about in that meeting, you know, as a possible mentor on the new series of "x factor" was going to be whitney houston. i have no idea genuinely whether she was that interested or whether given the choice, i would have like to have taken her under my wing, as well. because she would have been the ultimate, ultimate mentor to any contestant coming on the show. >> simon, do you think that -- was she in some ways her own worst enemy and was it a case that people couldn't get close enough to whitney to try and help her? did she lack somebody that could just

one of the areas where i changed is the area where scoop jackson was always a leader. he really lived up to the van denburg quote of politics ends at the water's edge, and he was very much, you know, a leader and a thought-provoker coming to thought policy. that is an area i changed. i came from the house, and a whip, and a protectionist basically and reflekting any upbringing and the son of a blue-collar ship worker, and then when i got to the house i had to learn about foreign trade policies, and then i worked about every free trade agreement while i was in the senate. i never voted for a foreign appropriations bill in the senate except for one. so you do. you are supposed to learn. i still considered myself, very solid conservative, but in my last year in the senate, the rippon society gave me a teddy roosevelt award, and my son thinkss he is going to get it, but i am going to give it to the grandson instead. and i got it because i was a moderate. i thought, well, i don't know when that happened to me, but if it is, then i accept the moniker with pride. i'm still co

when i reached out to you it is, we have amy winehouse, michael jackson. we have a long list of artists that fall prey to the enablers. that's really what -- what really amazes me. after all of this time, nobody can see that. i think the young artists need to hear this. they need to hear the questions you are asking. they need to hear what i'm saying right now. because they will fall prey to at this time, too. when whitney houston or nikki sixx or the other artists started out we had courage to believe in ourselves. at what point did we lose the courage and started to let other people run our lives? >> what has been a common theme throughout the week from the guests i have had is those who knew whitney houston saying she was very strong willed. she didn't want to be told what to do. what would you say to that argument? >> i too am very strong willed. i was told if i continued to use i drugs my manager would walk away. that's the only person that said that to me. that was the kick in the ass i needed to put myself in rehab and get my act together. i had bee

like michael jackson did.ael jackson estate did after he died. in the 12 months after michael jackson passed away, his estate brought in $279 million. that's a huge amount of money considering he was no longer produzing new music. i think with her the number will be in the tens of millions of dollars. we could see $10 million come into her estate from the sale of music from the months following her death. >> we reported yesterday in the increase of price that sony increased the price of her most popular music. forbes has the to five earners and they include three people who passed away, michael jackson, elvis presley and marlin monroe. charles schultz was on the list and john lennon made $12 million. >> i think the reason why michael jackson earned so much is because he wrote those songs, he wasn't just performing them. he also earned the publishing rights. i think she will be reinintroduced to fans. i think a whole new generation of younger fans is learning about her now. she's costarring with the star of "am
