-- he was urged to dismiss grant, lincoln did not. the two julias traveled together nearly 5,000 miles during the of the war and they came within hours of being captured by confederates in 1862 in hollie springs, mississippi. journeysnt's wartime are remarkable demonstrations of the grants' mutual love and devotion. as a result of them, julia had a front-row seat, as almost no other woman did, to the end game of the civil war, when she and jesse, livedt son, with grant in headquarters from 1865ry through april of and when she refused to go to ford's theater with the lincolns on april 14. why were fremont and mcclellan generals?ssful as and sherman and grant so successful? are many, there reasons. but an important part of the is found that question in the women who were their wives. fremont and nellie mcclellan never disagreed with their husbands. instead, they encouraged their theirls to persist in arrogance and delusions and to reject the advice and friendship of their commander in chief. ellen sherman and julia grant, intelligently supported their

but julia grant wars road warrior. every biographer of grant mentions that she was with him a lot though they don't really say more than that. tales ofrs are full of being in camp with him and i learned the confederates track your movements, too. is a rough approximation of her travels and doesn't show many of her shorter trips. no matter. it's clear that julia traveled more than 10,000 miles during the civil war to be with her husband. why did julia traveled so much? i found the answer in her eyes. as amazing as it is that she traveled so far often with four young children in tow sometimes through enemy territory, it is even more astonishing when you realize that she did it with a disability. with an eyewas born defect called strabismus. crossedher eyes look which embarrassed her all her life. she always preferred to be photographed in profile. butlso made it difficult not impossible for her to read and write. she almost certainly never saw anything in three dimensions and she had no depth perception. a not insignifica

i'm not sure that julia grant and mrs.incoln got along all that well, but i think they wanted to get back to new jersey where their children were. grant was happiest with his family and wanted to get back to them. they ended up going straight home. grant had to turn right around and go back to washington as soon as he had learned of the assassination. it was by chance that he was not there. brian: this is the amazing thing -- as we were driving along pennsylvania avenue, a horseman drove past us at a gallop. this is someone who had been rude to them at lunch. looking into the carriage, mrs. grant said, there is the man who sat near us at lunch today with some other men and tried to overhear our conversation. it turns out it was john wilkes booth? ms. samet: the conspirators -- it was so mysterious. afterward, they probably regarded themselves as quite fortunate to have escaped. brian: later on, walt whitman comes into the picture. that is part of your english. ms. samet: walt whitman, in his poetry and drum taps, and his a

it was julia's natural tendency to spread sunshine that led her to urge grant to invite lincoln ,o cityof 1865 and it was only after mary lincoln rained on julia's perpetually sunny does vision that she nerve herself to disappoint the president and insist that her husband refuse the invitation to the theater. the reader of the civil war cannot help but be struck by the symmetry in these two sets of generals. the first set, fremont and mcclellan, were like meteors. they blazed at first sight, rank high in the public eye, left chaos in their wake, and left -- left chaos in their wake. were at firstant like distant stars, their brilliance only barely perceived . but in the darkest hours, they shone brightly enough to light a path home and they have endured. there is symmetry, too, in the wives stories. jesse fremont and nelly mcclellan both displayed the most conventional 19th-century on critical,utes worshipful endorsement of their husbands every instinct. strengthided emotional that enabled their husbands to resist and confidence in their , and a rejection of the commander-in-chief who b

we have grant and julia's memoirs. i will give my opinion, that skunk adam bedot and what his impact was. john: oh, yes. i really got to dislike him. he was working with grant, and he had written his own book, but he was worried that grants memoirs would take away from him. grant is writing. he is dying. bedot says i want more money. he acted as a clerk for grant, but so did fred grant and his sisters in law. anyway. next. >> back and forth, just to be fair. yes, sir. >> it was halek that accused at of being a blabbermouth? >> yes. >> what was the justification of that? >> they may both have thought of that. halek did not like lincoln, and he certainly did not like stanton. do what you are going to do, talk to me, i will take care of it. >> in context, grant is replacing halek. halek becomes a glorified chief of staff, a secretary, a conduit for orders from washington. there is that resentment. halek had come from the west to save the union, and he had not done it. grant comes from the west to save the union. halek is s

hugh grant, julia roberts, major movie star in the film, hugh grant is working the bookstore and theyl in love with an a-list celebrity movie star? that would be like the idea of that, it plays into that idea but the love story starts strong. rob: i have only seen one of these movies but what about you've got mail? >> another movie in new york, the restaurant meg ryan and tom hanks go to is in new york city. we sat in the exact seat they sat in at the end of the film. we always find the movie locations of movies and go to those locations and is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. jillian: 500 days of summer. i have never seen this. >> it is almost like an anti-romantic comedy but it is a film that deals with joseph gordon levitt, she says up front to him at the beginning of the film i don't want a relationship and he falls for her. there is a brilliant moment when he's trying to get her back and they split the screen for reality versus expectation and he walks into a moment and we watch in real-time how we expect the moment to go versus how it actually goes. one of the

grant does not like abraham lincoln. then he says something really rude about julia, which he records in his diary. julia greeted us but her eye was up the chimney. pretty tacky. anyway, dan gets some work. he is assigned to his father's influence to do sculptures for the top of post offices in st. louis and boston. it's sort of degrading, although he does good work, because he gets paid per diem. he does not even get commissions . he is not happy. he decides to return to concord and build a new studio. he needs a new inspiration, another minute man. and, again, the answer to his reputation building is very local -- ralph waldo emerson. he does a bust of emerson as an old man. emerson regales him with stories. he says the more you work on me, the more it resembles me, the worse it looks. finally, he says, this is the face i see when i shave. that was his greatest compliment. again, this is french recording a great writer. it is uncanny how prosaic his diary entries are but again it is all of the sculptor. that becomes a full-length sculpture with emerson's famous overcoat, which was famous all over

the deal granted immunity to ko core conspirators and other teenage girls claimed they were abused in his circle. joining me is juliaorting on this story. good to have you. >> thank you. >> i want to start by asking you about these face-to-face negotiations acosta had with epstein's attorneys. was acosta, the now labor secretary, unusually involved in this case? >> well, i'm told by other former prosecutors this is what stood out to them as being the most odd thing about this, is that, you know, you have the federal prosecutor himself involved in one particular case, to the point he's meeting, you know, one-on-one with the defendant's attorneys, not in his office, but at a marriott hotel 60 miles away from his office, and that this particular meeting raised a red flag to them, that something just didn't seem to be right with this. >> what motive could acosta have had for treating this case differently? >> well, you know, he is an ambitious prosecutor. he had a very good reputation at the time. he had been taking down a lot of drug lords. he had handle a lot of high profile cases and he was sort of considered a risin
