the order commanded general john a. dicks here to arrest and inprison in any fort, i'm quoting again" the editors prop price tors and publishers and bring them to trial before military commission before their offense. take possession of the print be establishments and prevent any further publication." tough words and actions indeed. so why the fuss over a bogus proclamation? about volunteers? the administration initially believed the democratic press conspired to release a fraudulent presidential order calling for 400,000 new volunteers in the union army in order to send gold prices plummeting, following which editors would buy in at low prices and reap huge profits once the proclamation was disavowed and stocks rebounded. according to the new york world which maintained its innocence, a messenger had mysteriously come to the office of all the big city papers one night bearing this official-looking proclamation. most of them looked at it and said" this doesn't look right. we're not publishing it. it's too late in the day. the

dick nixon to kick around anymore. john writes that this was under the influence of a whole lot of scotch when he made that speech. nixon later also wrote that he never regretted saying that kind of thing, saying that at all because he thought that was partially responsible for him getting more positive press coverage as he moved back up in the political life in through the mid-1960s. by 1968 he once again starts wearing the hat of the zen master. he has figured out probably before anybody else that tv -- that network tv news had changed entirely in the 1960s. i think it started in 1963 was a huge year. cbs, nbc both went from 15-minute to 30-minute newscasts. that meant a lot more than just another 15 minutes. the nature of what those organizations was about changed as well. also the coverage of the 1963 kennedy assassination totally changed the way people looked at network news. it was being taken very seriously, and he falls in with a fellow by the name of roger ales, now president of fox news who designed a brilliant campaign on nixon's behalf, and basically did an end run around the news media. once again the

a year. and it's known as the dick's hill cartel because it's named for the two generals who created it. union general john dicks and confederate general d.h. hill. and what this system does is it modifies the parole system. that now soldiers themselves are not allowed to sign paroles. only the two generals or any of their respective agents can sign paroles and conduct the exchanges. so what this means is that if you surrender as a soldier, whether you're in the union or the confederacy, you will be taken to a prisoner of war camp, held there for a few weeks, and then you'll be sent to an exchange location. in the eastern theater here in virginia, it was at aikens landing on the james river, and in the western theater it was at vicksburg on the mississippi river. and there the physical exchange of prisoners would take place. but the official exchange would take place later when the two cartels had negotiated the release. so where do these union and confederate prisoners go until they are formally exchanged? well, they will go to what are called parole camps. this is an image of the largest parole camp in t

his former colleague dick armey who is an influential tea party voice said gingrich has turned a second rate campaign into a first rate vendetta. >> jeff: that said, john, even with gingrich's struggles how does the romney campaign calibrate how much attention they leave on newt gingrich versus focusing on the president? >> in mitt romney's remarks after his victory in nevada he focused almost entirely on president obama but he learned in the primary that he cannot ignore his opponent. so the campaign is still attack gingrich. the remaining task within his party for romney is convincing conservatives they should fallee raleigh behind him that issue will be center stage at the conservative action conference this coming friday. ronald reagan made a historic speech to this group as a presidential candidate arguing conservatives should back one of their own and not a pail imitation. newt gingrich and rick santorum will be making its same argument about mitt romney. >> jeff: john dickerson, thank you very much. this campaign is being fueled in part by a new source of fund-raising. superpacs, committees that can spend whatever their donors want, even though

dick had a long career in political life. and distinguished. >> well, um -- >> no, mr. kennedy was a very much a dominant figure in almost everything that went on in the political life of john kennedy. his mother was even more dominant on their prayer life and kept after them for all of the reasons that good mothers do. i mean, to make responsible children. and -- but they -- they kept very, very close track of what each was doing. and so, i would not disagree with anybody who thinks that they were enor musly influential, the only thing that i'm conscious of is ambassador kennedy could not influence certain people in the democratic party. i mean, people that we were supporting, he frequently did not. so, that -- >> who were you thinking of? >> well, i'm thinking about one fight that we had and he just was not responsive. i mean, well, bobby was the responsible one and what happened was, that bobby had indicted the brother of a congressman from new york and the congressman who was responsive to us and had wanted desperately for the indictment to be withdrawn, bobby refused. they then were talked to the ambassador who said no, he is going to do what he is going do anyway. so,

a ceremony of exquisite music and inspiring speeches. mrs. laura bush, congressman john c. lewis, linda johnson rice, dick parsons.f. this was -- i can't say enough about it. it's huge. >> it is huge. >> it is huge. it is grand. yeah. >> you look exquisite yourself. really, just from "the cosby show," you don't look a day older. tell me why this is important to you. >> the smithsonian rounds out the telling of the american experience, rounds out the telling of the american story. with the smithsonian has 18 museums and this will be the 19th. and in this one, well, this one is dedicated to, what it says, african-american history and culture. and african-american history and culture is about descendents of africans but it's also about other people as well. our stories intermine gegle, yo know. it's going to be commemorative of the entirety of the story of descendents of africans in this country. >> i assume, too there will be some sort of chapter. because we have seen michael jackson, athletes, obviously the remnants of the time of slavery and jim crow. i imagine, too, there will be something about the cosby show be

dick cheney, don rumsfeld, douglas feith and john you. i'd be delighted to return to post-9/11 guantÁnamo and the q&a.ply to acknowledge there is something new and indeed criminal that the bush administration's attempt to torture into law and at the same time, i want to question the fairly widespread assumption that post-9/11 constitutes an historical anomaly, a fall from grace. is it indeed? the answer on to suggest depends on one's historical perspective. okay, so let stretcher gages back before the american revolution to the expansionist strands of an overpopulated and economically strapped sadness that of british colonies span between the appalachian mountains in the atlantic seaboard. for only by beginning beginnings can we truly understand guantÁnamo's abiding presence in the united states history for what it is. namely a product of the nations liberal political economy that is its universal, moral and political aspirations on the one hand and it's unspeakable appetite for land, labor, resources and markets on the other. to be sure, our liberalism access generous. anyone can be a part of this gr

a kind of callous cold fish who has lived this very privileged life, doesn't understand what is happening to ordinary americans. now there is nothing wrong with him being wealthy, john kennedy told his speech writer, dick goodwin after he was down in west virginia in the coal mines and hills and valleys, that he couldn't believe people lived like that. and even though they seemed to be prejudiced against him because of his religion, if he became president he would help them. folks in west virginia figured that out, they voted for him even though he was catholic. what is happening with romney is he's being figured out by the american people and he himself is the person who is revealing what he is. you said they are not gaffes, but they are gaffes what he says what he really thinks and he's not supposed to do that. >> the more devil in the details, in a small fee on the largest financial institutions will make sure that it doesn't add to the deficit. gene, that is the part that won't fly with the republicans. >> yeah, nothing will fly with the republicans in anything the president proposes. >> even a small fee on the banks, my friends. bob shrum, eugene robinson, great to have you with us. >> thank you.

going to continue to go up and they're going to pose a serious, serious threat to obama's re-election. >> dick, i was really surprised because johng was quick to open up the news of the day last time he hosted the debate talking about newt gingrich's problems with his ex-wife but the big news yesterday and today is gas prices. why do you think it wasn't brought up in the debate? >> i think he must live on another planet, you know. and i really agree with the three elephants in the room you guys were talking about. ridiculous that he didn't talk about fast & furious. ludicrous that he didn't talk about gas prices and that he didn't mention the 80% cut in our warhead, in our missile warheads. those are such huge, huge issues. i think that whoever won the debate and we'll talk about that next segment, i guess, the guy who lost that debate is john king of cnn. >> true. hey, dick, stick around. as you mentioned, we'll go over the big winners and big losers from last night's debate. >> you don't have to do the tease. i did it already, brian. >> let's skip it. prompter person. let's go to the next tease because dick morris obviously wan
