fred kaplan: well, i don't do anything. [laughter] fred kaplan: obviously. this is a dilemma, this is part of the complication of the world lincoln lived in. the economic interdependency of the northern and southern parts of the american economy, up until the civil war, are just so tight, so inseparable. in between the south and the north in every sense, in every form. the south provides raw material. the north, prior to the in the 1840's and 1850's, provides the financing for the cotton industry, which is the biggest, most profitable, most highly capitalized industry in the country. and so the north provides the capital and provides insurance. it provides shipping, it provides factories, it provides every element of the inter-workings of the relationship between law product and getting the raw produce to market and getting it transformed into shirts and also, and products for people to buy that cotton is the basis of, both in the north and in europe , where a great deal of it is going to. so, yes. and this was again, your point is a very important one and r

fred kaplan does all three. what is special is how he describes what might be called a pilgrimage of enlightenment of these great characters. if you are in a classical mood, -- odyssey of his characters in lincoln and the abolitionists, he has written a book that is basically a dialogue between lincoln and john quincy adams, a moral journey for each of them, a moral activist that john quincy adams is verse a moral -- is vs. -- thatcredentialist is a ramekin. book --hallenge to the when you get to the page 276, read the house divided speech by lincoln. there, i made my defense of lincoln and we can go on. the book is critical of lincoln good book. it is critical of lincoln as it is critical of america's moral history. this book and his book of john quincy adams is really a book about art education as americans throughout our history. into real citizenship. if you read his biography of john quincy adams, you will see what a great historian he is. read his chapter about the amistad, it is a brilliant academy of his

the spanish government illegally proclaimed itself the representative of the catalans kaplan us or it is still think they could win local media speculation that the president could even officially proclaim independence this week but it seems ordinary catalans are the ones on the losing site. independence was declared in the very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening is that we're a bit lost is the first time we found ourselves in such a situation there are people here doing demonstrations week after week and they don't talk about the only talk about some people that is doing other demonstrations but not the cut to the majority of the spanish senate still house to approve the measure is presented by my treat and if it does counseling you know will remain a time in this in the moment at least till the next reason elections to take place within the next six months i do question our. see barcelona. for me was spain's foreign minister has sparked anger for saying videos of police cracking down on castle on voters were misleading i'm not saying that all are fake pictures but so

buff's be looking forward to an exceptional vintage and how is the industry coping imo joined by nina kaplan she's a wine right and joins us now from london enough we've heard about the situation in germany in our report what are you hearing from vineyards in other parts of europe . unfortunately a very very similar new. spain is down interleaved down i'm usually only had crossed in april all ahead of that and it's you know that's that's that's highly unusual and obviously not good news for grapes which at that point in their infancy and france you know neck of the line of business is also had problems. german line is apparently not getting more expensive as we've just heard what about french one. strangely and i think it will really depend i mean when you when you talk about why prices there are sort of there and sort of preached to trash is really there is that the bottom end and the bottom end is about mass production and having lots and they will still have lots and in an area like none we don't really see our is down six percent it's not it's not a comparable to an area like boulder for

there's nothing specific to stop them doing so either what really matters is whether spain agrees to kaplan is an attendance which of course is definitely not doing at the moment that that would be the crucial factor is just what legal basis so does the catalan government have here if you want your regular independence there unilaterally. is there really a legal basis what they're trying to show is that they got the people behind them and this referendum is a bit ambiguous on that point they got ninety percent of the vote but they did so on a forty two percent turnout so it's ninety percent of forty two which works out of around thirty eight percent of the total adult population so they haven't really shown conclusively that they have the people behind them so what the catalans are are central trying to do is is demonstrate mass popular support but i think what it what what we see so far is that they have a bout the support of forty percent of the population now they would argue of course of that vote was disrupted the ballot boxes were removed the people were prevented from voting and that

people who want to sort out the future of catalonia and decided with their votes what divides the kaplan people is how to achieve this and this division is also visible in the catholic media. if you look at first and daily newspapers they have different editorial line from the pole the right to vote on october first some are against that i don't see a coherent unified message it's exactly the opposite in fact there are many voices that articulate different opinions through these outlets. on the print side of the catalan media there is diversity to be found but it's on television where one sees the difference between a diversity of views and a balance of yes and it's not just t.v. three's news broadcasts the lack of balance is glaring on what spaniards call. daytime talk shows. are cheap to produce long on opinion short on facts. and far from balanced as this anti independent school ice has found himself badly outnumbered on t.v. three pointed out. was. not what the host wanted to hear but it's hard to argue with them not to call spain's national broadcaster the madrid based t.v. a mirror
