edits made on the manuscript. you see what he really did, his wife joined him in seattle, spent 20 days with him on the west coast. that is not in the book. he had all the scenes about them traveling together in the manuscript. going to resorts and staying at the st. francis hotel in san francisco, which is where fatty arbuckle and queen victoria state. a very palatial place. i realized then there was quite a large gap between what steinbeck wrote and what he actually did on his trip. who he met, where he went, who he traveled with. >> you call him a fraud? >> i did. that was sort of a slow process. in my notebook, the day i read the manuscript i wrote the thing that this is a fraud. but i did not use that word until much later. i was introduced by a friend of mine at the "post-gazette." he called it something of a fraud. i like the way that rang. in a sense it is a literary fraud. it was marketed, sold, reviewed, and taught for 50 years as a true story. >> how old was he? >> 58, and not in great health. he had a

[low-pitched string music] (narrator) another form of notation known as tablature shows instrumentalists where to place their fingers rather symbolically representing sound. because notation for the chinese chin does not specify all aspects of performance, players must develop their own rhythmic interpretations. (yu) the chin music is a very ancient chinese music. there are more than 3,000 pieces of chin music existing in china in a simplified chinese character notation. this tablature shows you which string your hand put out and what kind of techniques. but unfortunately, there's no rhythm at all which means you cannot read off music directly from the notation. in most cases, different chin player has their own different interpretation for the same piece. but if the interpretation is very good and everybody likes it, then you become popular and people accept it.

using those measurements, randel produced three copies of the manuscript map. this is the famous commissioner's plan of 1813. the second stage ran from early 1811 to about 1817 when randel designed and used more sophisticated instruments is and equipment and during which time he inscribed scratched into the dirt and rock of the island the 1811 plan. randel recorded elevation, not just distance, as opposed to a regular land survey. during the last period from 1818 or so to 1831, randel, aided by his first wife became a cartographer of the highest quality. most of what we know about randel's manhattan survey comes from the minute of the common council of the city of new york containing records of randel's reports on surveys on roads and streets. most of those records concern finances, contracts and deadlines. the more complete source resides in randel's field books donated by joseph webster, a former city surveyor and engineer. and if anyone's interested later, there's a story about how the notebooks p ended up at the new york historical society in the care of jo

also the copy of the manuscript of map is a famous commissioners' plan of 1811. the second stage mandel conducted a survey with elevation not just distance as opposed to regular of land survey. with 181-82-1821 aided by his first wife matilda became a cartographer of the highest quality. much of what we know comes from two sources. the common council from new york contains records of his reports on surveys and roads and streets that concern finances, contracts, deadlin es. the more complete source of information is in the field books at the historical society and donated by a former seducer varian engineer. of you're interested there is a story about how the notebook ended up at the new york historical society in the caretaker of webster. it is not a complete story it is interesting which is often true randel finances legal trouble in his life.

these manuscripts and having a bonfire-- destroying them all. (narrator) only three or four codices survived-- manuscripts made from the bark of fig trees. cracking the maya code has been a long and painstaking process. scholars gradually have identified sentence structures and realized that the mayan language was far more sophisticated than any other mesoamerican language. it's a complex system based on more than 500 hieroglyphs. it has sentences. it has verbs. it has adjectives. just like any other language. and deciphering the individual sounds eventually has allowed us to read whole texts. (narrator) those texts have revealed the political history of palenque and the identity of the maya king buried in the temple of inscriptions. it was pakal who took the throne at the age of 12 and ruled for 70 years until his death in 683. palenque's greatest king, pakal founded a dynasty that would rule the kingdom until it fell apart in the ninth century. sculpted portraits show him as both a young man and in old age. previous portraits of maya rulers co

the preserved written accounts were studied, manuscripts of great greek playwrights-- aeschylus, sophocles, euripides--were read, and a rich tradition of greek drama once again entered the cultural mainstream of the west to take its place in our heritage. sitting in the theatron at the theater of dionysus, mountains all around, sunshine and blue skies above, the audience already knew the legend of oedipus, the son of laius and queen jocasta of thebes. when oedipus was born, a prophecy warned that he would murder his father and marry his mother. the horrified parents ordered a servant to destroy the child, but the man took pity on him and gave him instead to a foreigner to take to the city of corinth. there, the child was adopted by king polybus and queen merope, and brought up as their own. when oedipus grew to manhood, he journeyed to delphi to consult the oracle. there, he, too, was warned he would murder his father and marry his mother. and now it was his turn to be horrified by the prophecy, and he fled, putting as much distance as he could between himself and corinth. along the way, h

morgan's library contained his collection of rare books and manuscripts, as well as renaissance paintings and sculpture. like isabella gardner, morgan identified with a renaissance predecessor, the great baer agostino chigi. morgan even installed in his study brocade wall-covering with chigi's coat-of-arms. morgan's taste inclined to the decorative arts. he liked small, finely wrought objects. nevertheless, like other american collectors he wanted a raphael madonna. in 1910 he purchased "the holy family," which he hoped would prove to be by raphael. this picture is now knowto be a copy, but morgan's impornce as a collector of raphael should not be underestimated. he spent more than half his fortune on works of art and set the example that other collectors would follow. like mrs. gardner, morgan never succeeded in obtaining an autographed madonna by raphael. the first american to accomplish this was henry walters of baltimore. walters made a fortune consolidating railways and was reputed to be the richest man in the south. well-educated, well-traveled, cultivated, walters, like morgan, had

he even had pictures of the glyphs drawn to put in the manuscript. and without that, we would know very little firsthand about the maya. keach: with landa as a guide, the nature of the ancient maya books became clear. they were almanacs used by priests to plan rituals. the bars and dots are numbers -- a dot for one, a bar for five. these two symbols formed the basis of a highly sophisticated mathematical system. it was used to record the movements of venus and of the moon and sun. astronomical events were linked to events on earth through elaborate calculations of time. stuart: they were operating with a fairly complicated kind of calendar. it counted the days in several systems. there was a 260-day cycle, a 365-day cycle, and then there was the great overriding cycle by which they really tamed eternity. and that was the long count. keach: with the long count, the maya measured time from a beginning point thousands of years in the past. on this stela, or freestanding monument at copan, long count glyphs compute the passage of 1,403,800 days since the

eventually he started to talk and he said he was there because he had just lost his job, and a manuscript that he had written, he couldn't get published. it's a good sign that someone is on the edge and they are continuing to communicate with you. if they are communicating with you, they're not jumping. >> according to the new york city's department of health, nearly one in ten suicides in the city is an out-of-towner who chooses to take their life at a well-known landmark, just like this nevada resident is threatening to do. >> at one point, he did stand up and put his hands on the glass. at that point, we weren't sure if he was going to push himself off the glass and try to jump, whether he was going to try to climb up on the glass and jump from there or scale the glass and try to do like a self-rescue. >> cole makes a split-second decision. >> at that point, i jumped from where i was positioned to kind of block him from being able to push himself off the building. >> when the subject started to move over, we hoisted him up a little bit. the other crew on the roof safely brought him to

them into a word file that i presented them off and i cross of the footnote as they use it in the manuscript. you start with a foundation once i had all the correspondence reaching 46 for use that as a foundation in chronological order that is the easiest way to understand. then the correspondence of other people, of the diary of joshua, the newspaper that iran transcriptions of congress, the house journal echoes in rid is supposed to then they try to turn it into a book with historical data points. call folia have done that. that is a good question. the first time i did not know what the heck i was doing or getting into the second book i had a good process i look forward to it was the third book. >> i am under the understanding lincoln was a pallbearer for john quincy adams. what relationship did they have? >> i have seen that in so many places but he is not a pallbearer, he is on the committee created to oversee the funeral arrangements, so they have a member from every state on the committee i think he is the only whigs from illinois they call him the lone star i think that is why he gets

all the material will be given to the library of congress, be in the manuscript so future generations can compare it for how it will be in the future. so, one thing i should advise and warp you -- warn you abouts, this isn't like your high school yearbook, the class of 1978. these people were all different. oldest was 80. the youngest was 21. what they had in common was that at a moment in 1978, they were all in washington covering national government for u.s. commercial operations. and that made it a little tricky in how you would organize it. basically this book is a series of discrete essays on different parts of this mix, and then the end we bring it all together and count the people one-by-one and reach a conclusion which makes this the first book that is about career patterns in journalism. so let me start, the first book, the first chapter, would be the world war ii generation. the g.i. bill people who came here, and it was a very clear pattern. they went out someplace to omaha, to des moines, they served their time, they were brought to washington, they spent the rest of their

it in a very common sense, easy to understand -- i was very impressed and remember reading the manuscript is very easy to understand explanation of what actually is in the bill, what these different laws are with the rules, what you can expect, with these different exchanges are, how it's going to affect people in their paycheck and their withholding and their insurance coverage that they get at their job, and so it's just a very practical guide for consumers to find out what they are facing. is to get this is regardless whether you are conservative or liberal? >> actually, it is. she is not a fan of law but she walks you through in a very practical sort of consumer way what do you need to do to navigate this. >> okay. next book, "obama's four horstman." >> as you can see it is rather apocalyptic and that is the message here. i think a lot of the books that are out have come out in the past few months have talked about america at a crossroads for america at a point where we have a big decision to make. david harsanyi, who's a terrific writer and spokesperson basically says we have crossed

you have all of these manuscripts written tween 580 and 15 a.d. that are literature and support and manuscripts we didn't know anything about the queen of sheba she lived all hed life, which approximately lifeea in ethiopia is today. she but is now in what is called yemen. but it was part of the queen of sheba.acks the battle describes her as a woman of black skin. all of this was written. people develop cultures inuse ty history. because they need them to stay in good health.cial that is how we make social progress. living without memory is like r driving without a license.more it is more dangerous live without your story.thout soyo the point is that we were t off from all of that and then renamed. when i was a child, we wereed. called negroes. no one knew what the prevalence was of the word, what s meaningless. that was a partme of the wall to was built to separate those thad were stolen for example, they have the highest crime rate in the country, violent crime rate on indian reservations. the question is, like? what awful thing happened that w

all of this material, by the way, will be begin to the library of congress, will be in the manuscript division. future generations can go back, look at how it was now, compare it for how it will be in the future. so one thing i should advise or warn you about, this isn't like your college yearbook, 50th anniversary yearbook, class of 1978. because these people were all different. the oldest was 80, the youngest was 23. what they had in common was that at a moment in 1978, they were all in washington covering national government for u.s. commercial operations. and that made it a little tricky in how you would organize it. so, basically, this book is a series of discreet essays on different parts of this mix. and then the end we bring it all together, and we count these people one by one by one and reach a conclusion which makes in the first book that is about career patterns in journalism. so let me start. the first book, the first chapter would be world war ii generation, the g.i. bill people who came here. and it was a very clear pattern. today went out someplace to omaha, to des moi

better than anyone has done since he was in the foxhole getting paid in by insights, going to the manuscripts of columns published right before our right after he started stacking about a soldier from albuquerque and their main connection as they both have their eyes full and shut because of mosquito bites. my favorite writing turns out that the end if you're a "star wars." the ad was not in sight. they had wrapped at the african campaign successfully, but they didn't know what was next and they didn't know where to go and they love so many behind. he ends with a passage about all you can do if you want us the crosses full text and murmured thanks, pal. he understood the hardship and the loneliness. he admixture in the strong sense of fairness. looking at it from the 21st century of what it meant to the people at home. you're in tennessee and your brothers in the infantry after d-day and here is the columnist journalist had been heating for brother and told the story that it always makes you laugh and the distance in world war ii is very different than our contemporary wars. part of closing t

this book let me tell you, i read this manuscript for a year and it really helped put together and structure and understanding of the politics in our history. the politics and its interconnected and interrelated with how the fbi and co-intel pro, counter intelligence program from the president of the united states on down at the time we were really talking this heavy point of this was richard m. nixon. he was the one who black listed it. in the found that i'm producing that we are going to produce -- we have an indigo campaign and we need to raise funds before we get to to hollywood. we have party been to hollywood once. in our research, we got ahold of what was now public. watergate tapes. watergate tapes. remember nixon used to tape everything? they have public access now and we got got ahold of one where j. edgar hoover is talking to richard m. nixon in their own voice and richard m. nixon. we have got to get rid of these black panthers and etc. and so on so. yes sir says j. edgar hoover. i will differ only talk to them etc. and so on. it's important to understand this. this is your new u

the volume of papers published today in tens of thousands of journalists and millions of manuscripts every year clearly requires a systematic approach. and yet this has put an incredibly low priority. the very fact to report the findings of clinical trials, which are identical experiments. all are pretty much the same except intervention and the and the outcome is different, but every trial is the same experiment. instead of forcing people to report them in a structured data format, without people write them up in six page essay cycads 1876. it's utterly bizarre. the problems you describe are a part of the microcosm of how we haven't thought carefully enough about the infrastructure of scientific data. we need to be building frameworks instead of piling this stuff up in ruins. it's bizarre. >> thank you for coming to talk first of all. >> no one out there can see her eyebrows. sorry, carry on. >> usually you have to really the question. >> this is a little of a jump off point from what we just talked about. in the mid-to thousands or so they were talking about bringing the nih is an

book escaped france during world war ii on homemade bicycles carrying little more than their book manuscriptnt about children's books. i know it absolutely was not curious george, so i'm just gonna take that out of the mix. i'm really leaning towards the story of babar, but i'm not 100% sure, so i am going to go to ask the audience. >> all right, audience, mackenzie needs your help. on your keypads, vote now. [percussive music] 57% say madeline, 28% for the story of babar, and then down from there. you were leaning towards the story of babar. >> [sighs] >> do you trust your gut, or do you trust the audience? >> i'm gonna trust the audience, and i'm gonna go with "a," madeline, final answer. >> you know what? the audience was wrong. you were wrong. it was curious george... [audience groans] >> really? >> was the answer. yeah. curious george was the answer. wow.

this book, let me tell you, i mean, i read -- i remember reading this manuscript a year before it was out, and it really helped put together a structure and understanding of the politics and our history. but the politics and as it's interconnected and interrelated with how the fbi and its copro from the president of the united states on down, at the time we're really talking this heavy point of this was richard m. nixon because he was the one that blacklisted. in the film that i'm producing that we're going to produce, we have an indigo campaign to raise funds for our initial development funds before we get to hollywood down there -- we've already been to hollywood once, but my point is this here: we, in our research, we got ahold of what was now public watergate tapes, watergate tapes. remember nixon used to tape everything? tear public access -- they're public access now. and we got ahold of one where j. edgar hoover is talking to richard m. nixon in their own voice, and j. and richard m. nixon, oh, did you talk to mitchell? mitchell's united states attorney general at that particul
