county commissioner james stephens is optimistic an agreement with creditors can be reached. >> we're going to make every effort to resolve this crisis and do so to the benefit of the citizenses of jefferson county. >> susie: the commission now has until september 16 to negotiate a deal with its creditors, including j.p. morgan chase. it was certainly a historic week here on wall street with one of the most volatile streaks in history of the u.s. stock market. the one question everyone was asking today-- is it over yet? let's take a closer look at the stocks making news in tonight's market focus. stocks were higher from the open, and stayed that way all day, even with some selling in the final hour of trading. here's an intraday look at the dow. it traded in a narrow 200 point range, and posted its first two- day rally since early last month. today investors went bargain hunting and found some good deals in beaten down industrial stocks. among the standouts: honeywell international and boeing, both up 5%. united technologies adding 4%. dow component hewlett-packard was one of the star

. >> and now on booktv, harold holzer, james mcpherson and stephen sears recount the battle of antietam which occurred in 1862 in sharpsburg, maryland. this is a little over an hour. [applause] >> good evening, everyone, and welcome. when the year 1862 began as stephen sears writes in our new book, "the best of battles and leaders of the civil war," abraham lincoln was as he told a council of generals that he convened at the white house greatly disturbed by the state of affairs. the treasury was nearly exhausted, public credit was evaporating, congress was full of of jackals as he said, foreign relations were peril louse. the generals were spending more time fighting each other than fighting the confederates. general george mcclelland was sick in bed with typhoid fever, his army stalemated inspiring lincoln's famous comment: if general mcclelland did not want to use the army, maybe he could borrow it for a while. if something was not done soon, lincoln confided, the bottom would be out of the whole affair. 1862 may have been in a way the most dizzying year of the war. before it was over

james on the money. ok i'd like to go back to stephen what we just heard a very rosy report in my say. about could be issue of just transparency in confidence speakers as we talk about the olympic games in football and all that these are huge huge projects over a long period of time do investors have become an instant this government the next government in the next government after that we're all going to keep their word because there's always the issue of confidence when but investing in russia i think that's right. but i think that when investors are thinking about projects in russia they are since i was a number of questions because obviously they've got to balance out the risks of making investment into the country so they want to look at the strength of the legal and regulatory framework and. they also take a look at a number of macroeconomic factors for example interest rates inflation taxes. rates foreign exchange rates and of course they're also concerned about the question of corruption. but you know i think what we've seen is that president mitt beautiful has taken steps to o

stephen vlaekck. and we will talk with james lynch, the head of justice statistics. live at 7:00 a.m. eastern every day. a panel discussion with lot discussions -- law professors in the age of wikileaks. this took place earlier this summer at the aspen institute festival in colorado. this is an hour and 10 minutes. >> in truth, it is much more than that. the wikileaks disclosure of information represents a symbolic transformation, particularly because the means by which the information was released so quickly and without attribution to a particular source or person. the u. s has struggled for centuries to this cover the appropriate trade-offs among security and access, but the disclosure of critical government information is not new or unique. for example how is this any different from the disclosure of the pentagon papers many years ago? what is new however is the use of anonymous technologies to instantly disseminate massive amounts of data. we need to ask ourselves, what is different now and how will the actions of wikileaks affect the interactions between government and the tradit

mayor stephen i have both been speaking as if everyone has read everything william james and john deweyhave ever written. just a couple words about philosophical pragmatism. it develops in the 20th and early century from exasperation some philosophers felt with the confidence that some other philosophers had that there were systems that would answer all the questions we have about issues of politics or ethics. and they said when you don't have certain answers, you should feel free to experiment and you should judge the consequences of your experiment. and that's not going to work in every case. mathematics works alright assuming that two into is going going to equal for you. in many instances it's better to lay out a hypothesis, test it and perhaps recalculated things don't work out. so this is a way of thinking that becomes a tradition that runs through 20th century america.and this revived and powerful way during the years obama himself has been educated in their various reasons why one could identify him with his philosophical pragmatism. in the audacity of hope because out of his wa

beginning with james forestall, secretary of the navy under truman, right on down to those who are with the bush administration in iraq. and that's a narrative. >> pat buchanan. >> stephenhe cold war we had all of these troops left abroad and this tremendous debt and deficit we've got going for us. mike and i were talking, 50,000 troops in germany. 28,000 in korea, maybe 50,000, japan. 100,000 afghanistan. 50,000 in iraq. isn't this deficit debt issue going to, if you will, bring down the american empire? >> pat, when i was in, based in asia as a foreign correspondent for the "wall street journal" i did cover nato. during the kosovo bombing. it became abundantly clear to me there's enormous disconnect between the nature of our military deployments overseas and the nature of the threat and this since the end of the cold war. i think you're absolutely right. we are not going to achieve any meanful deficit reduction until we have a critical look at those deployments with the idea of bringing about much needed savings. >> stephen, your contention, which i think a lot of people buy into, this buildup and constant buildup began with jim forestall, continued through charlie wi
