here you are talking about the james garfield book. [video clip] ms.illard: james garfield was not, as he has been remembered to be, a bland, bearded, 19th century politician. he was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. although he was born into desperate poverty, he became a professor of literature, mathematics, and ancient languages when he was a sophomore in college. by the time he was 26 years old, he was college president. he knew the entire "aeneid" by heart in latin. while he was in congress, he wrote an original proof of the pythagorean theorem. mr. lamb: would you discover the story about garfield? ms. millard: i was looking for another subject with a lot of science in it, and i was researching alexander graham bell, just doing general research and i fell upon the story of him inventing this induction balance to find the bullet in garfield after he had been shot. it really stunned me because, again, i had never heard this story before. i cannot really understand it because bell was young. he had just invented the telephone
