so lowell was the fire brand in many ways. and went on to have every office you can hold in connecticut including governor ship. and we're just really happy you can be here today. rufus in many ways is the unsung hero of the watergate committee. because it's great to put a bumpk of people on a dais and have tv cameras show up. but you can't imagine what somebody would have to do to make all of that happen inside of the senate. and to be able to negotiate to put us all in on auditorium. i don't know how you did it. in addition to being deputy chief counsel flt he had to clear all the obstacles and assuming you made a few trips between senators offices on the campaign. yeah. travel budget for that. anyway, so rufus went on and has been just instrumental in politics in north carolina, secretary of state, attorney general. couple runs to governor. >> one was enough. >> okay. >> it was a bad year, gordon. >> all right. dave dorsen was a prosecutor in new york. and found himself on the watergate committee. and dave and jim hamilton

so i think because you have a long lowell, we must not rest on that and take for granted the fact thatihadist are indeed in the united kingdom and in spain. have been for a while. >> tucker: so quickly, give it the one essential of response from authorities paid what is the one thing they should do? >> the sorts of attacks are unpredictable. we cannot fully prepare for them. we are in the midst of a jihadist insured and see. it's going to get worse, by the way. setting back on the battlefield, they are going to continue to prove the relevance. especially because of the internal jihadist competition between isis and al qaeda. isis is going to want to prove that it is still operationally capable so that people do not flock to the more established pedigree of al qaeda. so they will engage in such attacks across europe. the one thing that we can do is unfortunately in the short term, not much, but a long-term solution, that is to recognize that if we are in the midst of an insurgency. we need a counterinsurgency approach from jihadist, and as robin simcox side, not being taken as seriously

this fame, in turn, caused the lowell institute of boston which is really a group of amateur people who would invite famous people to give lectures. they invited henry halleck not to give one measly lecture and give 12 lectures one night after the next, filled the hall every night. these lectures were later gathered together and published in his major book elements of military art and science which came out in 1846. keep in mind, all these things that happened before, he is 31 years old. 31 years old. so he travels and the mexican war comes and he travels to california and sherman is one of his bunk mates on this terrible ride they have with waves going up and down, et cetera, say he didn't waste any time and everybody else is playing cards including sherman and reading novels and all of the rest and he's transforming volumes. napoleon from french to english and he creates that four-volume english version that you can still get if you'd like and that appeared in 1864. well, they were going to monterey, california so he's not in the main part of the war, but he's in california, a very im

do i think it makes a difference that i went to lowell high school in san francisco, that i grew up in the '50s and '60s, that i was at stanford, i've led the life i led and so have you. >> rose: right. that at a very abstract levels creates views you have about your profession, about the country, about what america is like and if it's law, what is law about as it applies? i couldn't write that down in 500 words but, nonetheless, every person at a certain age is shaped by his background and experiences and has these sort of general views about his profession, and i think that explains a lot. when i went down there, as i said, i'd lived in san francisco, i lived for many years in boston, i'd seen a lot of disagreement but not quite as much as i've seen in some of the cases down there. at first, i thought, isn't that awful? they all ought to agree with me.

who are looking for a signature deal and there, you've bob iger les and lowell mcadam, the ceo of verizon seismologist looking at all these, i can see the tremors and listen, this is the last opoint i'm going to make over the past four years, there's been $300 million a year of media and telecom m&a deals so far this year, we've only had 100 million. discovery, scrips, kkr, small potatoes basically, it's the sprint guys saying it's going to happen. that message is not to the shareholders that you better get in there but does it matter though that we don't know what the tax situation will be? how much does that play into anyone looking to do a deal? do we have to wait to see about interest >> right, these guys are all complicated, too, like malone. most complicated and so that's why. i would do something right out of like the cabeli playbook. buy them all buy all the targets because you don't know how it's going to play out and i agree with you, karen, the tax thing is complicated. soft bank is levered, too. they have a wall they can go as well >> is this a smell of desperation at this poi

the area's very gnat, very lowell -- very flat, very low elevation, and loot of people don't -- and awhere they live. mike: an area that may be getting more rain in four or five days than it gets over the course of a year, so it's not like the ground is used to all this rainfall be, right? >> absolutely. so the other thing is that people don't -- the storm is not really moving, and that's really the problem. people think, oh, a tropical storm is, nothing -- no problem. but again, when it's moving this slowly and actually stalled, that's when the rain just keeps coming day after day, and that's what brings these huge total, up to 30, 35 inches or so. mike: adding insult to injury, you had the high winds, the heavy rain, so maybe they got through the first blast of it, but now there are concerns about tornadoes coming out of the storm. what about that threat? >> well, tornadoes are associated with hurricanes. usually they're smaller, but still a cat one with tornado can do a lot of damage. we're not going to see the huge twisters like we see, you know, in oklahoma during the height of t

the people in the business in newark, new jersey, or boston, massachusetts, lowell mills, whatever, theynt it to go away, too. that said, let's not underestimate the abraham lincoln wing of the republican party. i take your point as a very good one. >> the only thing i would add to that is though many people would have wanted things to go away. the perception that people in both sections had during the 1850s, the latter 1850s in particular. was that the other section was being the aggressor. and among people living in the north, the sense that slavery was not a good thing, was fairly widespread. but there was a considerable difference among northern voters regarding rates. buchanan didn't succomb to the trope of many northern democrats of using race as a way of changing the conversation away from slavery, as steven douglas often did. but a lot of northern voters i'd say still couldn't get away from slavery, because as some contemporary sources note, slavery really seemed to enter just about everything during the 1850s. even if one lived hundreds of miles away from him. >> cal mackie from

lowell, i will give you a show, i want you to know, before you can grow, at any overthrow, now give it a go, giving blow for blow. that is the motto of captain? -- of captain jack o. [laughter] toward the end of his life, he did try to capitalize. buffalo bill did a movie. it was produced. jack tried to have a story of his life, captain jack crawford story. again, it see in the promotional material to get it finance, it would make a strong temperance feature if directed with that point in view. it should be in demand by churches, schools, and all organizations. needless to say, it did not. he was toasting with a glass of -- and this was a problem. people do not care about him. my good friends grandmother was born in italy in the late 19 century, when she was an old lady, i mentioned buffalo bill to her. she did not speak english. her eyes lit up. not only did she know who she was -- who he was, she remembered seeing his show. entry may sum it up best. his work as a scout was highly praised by his commanders. his verses, though popular in his day, can by no stretch of courtesy be called

all these guys with the lowells and barlows and channing and they're not unlike the mass armies of today, but getting to the leadership study. leadership is not as easy as it sounds and it's not about drawing a sword and leading a bayonet charge or making one wise decision. there are questions of loyalty. any soldier will tell you, the first loyalty is to the mission, but what if the mission you've given makes no sense to you and it's hopeless and you know your soldiers are going to die. is there a gray area? is there a next loyalty to your superior or is it to your soldiers, or is it divided? is there a loyalty to a cause or is it to your family back home? it's just not as clear cut as we want it to be, and men make different decisions at different times under different circumstances, but francis channing barlow. he's at gettysburg, he makes the mistake for the simple reason that he's been promoted too fast and less than a year that he was a regimental commander and he comes back and chancellor'sville, he's not fully engaged and he's detached from the 11th corps and he gets to gettysbur

especially people from lowell came there. salem became a small, second tier tourism destination. in the 1880s. it's not lost that this was the home of the witchcraft hysteria in 1692. it was always part of our history. apparently in the 1880s, both the witch house and the old goal the basement remained. it was on federal street. now since gone. both private residences. and you could arrange to visit both places. and that was perhaps the beginning. the turning point i think for understanding witchcraft in salem was the by centennial in 1892. at that time, there were celebrations of salem more than the witchcraft. so in salem, in 1892 i have it written down here, the city had two lectures. celebrating the date, one was on columbus and his deed. and the other was on the park act. it was up to the essex institute to hold the first great symposium on the witchcraft trials. and the lecture by harvard professor barrette wendell was were the salem witches guiltless. who knew. so professor was a psychologist. and he was applying the latest psychology theory of hypnosis, mediums, to the ac
