also to go beyond that realm and say, "look, american literature is far more than hemmingway and mark twain." american literature is made of a number of different chambers, a number of different paths, and we can approach it from different perspectives. literature in the end is a mirror of how society has been seeing itself across time, and when you enter skip's anthology or when you enter the latino anthology, you're able to navigate through time and see the complexity of... of many moments that are coming together. >> hinojosa: all right, so let's start with... because there's a lot of history here and we want to cover a lot of things, but so what... what is an important moment in time for the both of you that where latino and african american literature kind of intersect? and before we get to the present, so an important moment in history? >> well, i can think of two: 1885 up to the turn of the century, many cuban intellectuals such as josé martí, the father of the revolution and thebronze titan,e leading general of the cuban revolution. the biggest statue in cuba today is not to fidel o

i think that mark twain had it right when he said history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. right? this second gilded age is not a replay of the first but there is an echo, a rhyme, a reflection of that earlier period. we can see they in literature. look at some of the titles of these books. all of which have the title "second gilded age" in the sub title or the title. these have all come out in recent years asking this question about, are we in a second gilded age and what does it mean? >> it is a pretty depressing thought to think that we're back in a second gilded age. but there are reasons i think to be optimistic which i'll talk about in just a few moments. so another reason -- another way that i like to talk about henry george, this fascinating figure from the 19th century, again to make a connection to the present, is in a lot of ways, he is the thomas pickedy of the 20th century. the press sold 5,000 copies. essentially, he, if you just take this one quotation from this book, he's essentially arcing -- arguing the same point henry george did which is that extreme ine

mark: mark twain said a small part of a person's life is his acts and his words. when you are tackling a biographical subject, you have to make inferences about their mindset and their motivations. how does one responsibly introduce psychology into biography? annette: i think it is necessary. there was a biographer, fawn brodie, who got into trouble writing about thomas jefferson and calling it a psychohistory. the book most blessed of the patriarchs is out now. what my co-author and i tried to do is to be responsible in reading jefferson's words and looking at his actions and making inferences about that. you can look at the patterns you discern. you hope you see what the person was attempting to do in the world. i don't think it's possible to present a picture of a subject without trying to get into their mind. that is what all biographers do. whether they are doing psychology or not they are psychoanalyzing. jon: ralph waldo emerson said there is no history only biography. if you don't practice psychiatry without a license, you should find another line of work.

mark twain was overstating the case when he claimed that the civil war would not have happened if southerners had not read walter scott's novels. but the southern obsession with scotland which is everywhere once you start to look for it, may have helped them understand how defeat and honor were not irreconcilable. one of the earliest articulations of an explanation for confederate defeat came in the form of lee's farewell address. on the evening of april 9th, the same day that he surrendered to grant, lee assigned his aide, charles marshall, with the inevitable task, how to concisely and how to explain the defeat. and thank the troops for their commitment and sacrifice. when by 10:00 a.m. the next morning, marshal finished his words, it would become a sacred text. here we see a copy of lee's order, and later a reproduction. it was reproduced many, many times in the 100 years since. lee praised them for their sacrifice after four long years of war. their defeat came from overwhelming numbers and resources. they had fought honorably and their defeat did not tarnish their honor one iota. they ca

started talking like mark twain.tter that some republican party officials kind of hope that this stuff was true, he really was thinking about resigning, because he does provide sort of the uncomfortable story of the day about once every two months. >> not just in maine. national republican story. >> it's never local. he always breaks through. like the angela lansbury of maine politics. >> that's the odd thing, there have been so many previous comments he's made, you would have thought might have done it. maybe this is the proverbial straw. >> leaving the voice mail with those words, with a legislature, that took it to a level we never heard. perhaps andrew jackson threatened death to people. i have no doubt. >> but demonstrably unhinged and i think andrew jackson voice mails probably were lost somewhere. >> the next great book. but there's something about this lepage thing that stuck. that's got to be troublesome because he has been described as mini trump. the tell it like it is kind of guy. doesn't help trump. >> a

hours later, lepage appeared to back track tweeting regarding rumors of resignation to paraphrase mark twain the reports of my political demise are greatly exaggerated. lepage also announced that he would be meeting later today with a lawmaker he threatened. >> i want to look him in the eye and apologize if i have to. but at the same token, i think he owes me a little bit of an apology so i think meeting face-to-face we might be able to resolve things. if we can't, we can't. then we move on. >> state democratic leaders continue to call for lepage to resign after he blamed maine's opioid crisis on blacks and hispanics coming from out of state. however, maine house republicans decided to stand by lepage choosing not to take any action against the governor. >>> more than 1,000 residents in indiana are scrambling to find new homes after finding out the soil outside of their housing complex is highly toxic, in an incident being compared to the flint, michigan, water crisis. the east chicago residents were nfd last month about the dangerous levels of lead and arsenic in the ground. at the time may

if there's not a mark twain in our culture, and they pick some other people who i get it, it's a tv show and the kennedy center and stuff like that. i am a big fan of billy crystal that you're picking him before george carlin for the prize packs he did note that and he did appreciate it. he was so associated in the amendment because this case and in anumber of other routines the had done. they posted on the thomas jefferson website attributed to george carlin. there were two organizations that were suggested that you might want to donate to these organizations. one was the american heart association which makes sense, but the other was for the freedom of expression which i had no idea that george carlin hears what's behind the scene, but i got a phone call and the administrative assistant put it through and said kelly karlin is on the phone. you pick up the phone and introduced yourself as george carlin's daughter. >> i decided that you are the organization i'm going to tell people to donate to. >> your father was a big believer in the underdog. >> we could have picked all great organiza

and sitting in berkeley, which is part of the san francisco bay area and we often repeat what mark twains often reported to say which is, the coldest winter i ever spent was a summer in san francisco. people who have been her know it is cool in the summer. this is going to be an advantage in the future as climate change proceeds. as you say, those three cities in north america, including san francisco, san francisco is likely to be the last place that a summer olympics could be held as their held today. why is that? why does heat make it hard to have the olympics? it doesn't make any difference force bring board diving, but it does make a difference for outdoor endurance events like the marathon, but others. although temperature is part of the picture, one of the things people don't realize is an impact of climate change is as temperature rises, and increases the evaporation of water from the oceans and other bodies of water, therefore, humidity goes up as well. and your ability to do outdoor work is a function not only of temperature, but also the humidity. if it is 100% humidity, even
