nathaniel, there is enough music to fill several causal halls -- concert halls.is: what do you hope that the rest of us will take away from your fighting so hard to expose us to this? same as thes the composers who were suppressed by the nazis. we tend to be lazy when we listen to the same things that we know. my hope is that we will keep open years and that people listen to music in a way without preconceptions. i should like this, i should appreciate this. movie ands to a things, do you appreciate this? i believe that this is for everybody. tavis: we have had all kinds of great conductors on the show. i am always struck by this. people who enjoy classical music want to hear the same stuff over and over. it does not get any better than beethoven and i understand why you want to hear him regularly. the list goes on. i understand that. i wonder why -- those of us who are classical lovers -- we are so closed off to new stuff. it doesn't have to be and it should not be. part of the nature of classical music is that music it's better and more meaningful every time we

host: how long were you in europe, nathaniel? caller: i was there just a little over a year because i was in france for four months. at the time, i was learning to speak french because i learned a lot of french. and then they sent me to germany. so that i had to stop my french. i was already learning spanish when i went over. so i had to jot my spanish and pick up german. wasarned for four months i there and i learned a lot of german, two, and i still practice those things when i go bank because there is a german girl there. and i practice my spanish. host: what do you remember of the condition of germany right after the war? eup.er: it was all tor everybody was going around saying -- you couldn't tell when street from the other. thing that was together were the train stations. everything was going at the train stations. to me, it was an enjoyable time because the germans were very happy. the work in the kitchen and everything. .e had it easy thank you, sir. thank you for sharing your memories. we are going to be here at the worl

nathaniel green, right, patrick henry. we can go on and on. how many women can you name who were important? one, two, wait wait. abigail adam, martha washington are margaret corbin, betsy ross that is six, we're not going to get up to 10, are we? [inaudible] [laughter] >> that is another issue. she would not have an interesting memoir if we could get it. there were million women at least who were witnesses or involved in the revolution but we don't know that much about them. the accounts that we have from those who are left, from those we know they are very few. we know women -- when the british was marching up we know women threw hot oil on them. we only have scraps. aside from the women you mentioned, this was a real frustration to me. i was curious. i said there has to be more account and there has to be correspondence. that is how i began writing the book. coincidence and coincidencal in my research, there was two women five years apart, if not tory centralist neutralist, both of them defied their parents and married these patriots. when i

specificop look -- his reference is nathaniel banks. grant has to overcome lincoln's interest in these people politically. in butler's case, it does not happen until the campaigns of 1864. it happens in early 1865. lincoln is reelected. there are restraints upon and constraints upon what grant can do. it is a tribute to grant that instead of writing letters to other people expressing frustration about those constraints, he works within them. skillings, bristol, rhode island. this might be a terribly naÏve question in a room filled with historians and authors, but is there anything that today's military leaders, involved in today's wars, can learn from the generalship of people like sherman and grant? >> understand why you are fighting. way, how you fight should serve the purpose of why you are fighting, more than anything else. i want to congratulate all of you. none of you have asked me a question about grant and drinking. i toast you as a result. thank you very much.

and his father, nathaniel benchly, mischievously proposed why don't you call it who's that noshing ony leg? [laughter] you can imagine, remember the opening bars in the movie, who's that noshing on my leg? [laughter] slightly undercut it. so anyway, you know, titles are problematic. joe heller's catch 22 was originally titled catch 18 for the eight years that he was working on it, it was catch 18. and then just before catch 23 -- catch 22 was to be published in august of 1961, his publisher called him and said there's this guy who's bringing out a novel called mila 18, it's a war book. he said we can't have two books with the number 18 in them. and joe was, you know, he was beside himself. so that's why you didn't have a catch 18 experience today at the department of motor vehicles. [laughter] some, this book is, this very reasonably-priced book is called "but enough about you." my first collection some years ago, it's a big, it's always a big moment in any writer's life when you have enough to recycle, old stuff. publishers hate collections because they don't sell, but i'm sure today

february 1862, president lincoln signed order to delay the execution of a convicted slave , ader, nathaniel gordon powerful and passionate lobby pressed lincoln to overturn what would be the first death penalty applied to any illegal slave trader. in fact, the death penalty was the prescribed punishment. it had to be done. i cannot help him i would personally prefer to let this man lived in confinement and let him meditate on his deeds. yet, in the name of justice, it is the majesty of the law. at one case, at least one specific instance of a professional slave trader, a northern white man, give an exact penalty of death because --the incalculable number of he and his kind conflicted among amid the horror of a sea voyage from africa." it was fewer than seven months after captain gordon met his fate that president reagan issued the giraffe emancipation proclamation. -- the giraffe. he gave confederate states 100 days to renounce rebellion. emancipation day would be january 1, 1863, when the commander-in-chief would issue the final emancipation proclamation at the meeting of the cabinet on se

when i was reading the diaries of hawthorne who was, who married nathaniel. and i bring the hawthorne -- hawthorns in a lot because they knew henry clay was lesser with them the day they moved to concord and i wanted them in part because the offer a different view than in recent years of hendrick but also because they come in after the story has been going for a while and also because they are deeply in love. they are absolutely warm, fuzzy, out of focus over each other. so that contrast with henry sloane the life in which he keeps having a crush on one girl or woman after another and nothing coming of it, and he was a man who emerson -- ambersons made significant to the back door and went to the kitchen and encountered a woman, he blushed to anywhere he encountered a woman. so the contrast with a hawthorns being in love seemed to me to add a little poetic resonance to the story, and emotional depth but also different point of view as a new character coming in and seeing henry. so i was reading hawthorne's diary and came across a scene that is of absolutely n

christian is home-schooled and had been studying nathaniel hawthorn's classic novel "the scarl elt letter" with his teacher and mother beth. when she looks at her child, what bothers her? >> reporter: beth is a former english and literature teacher and last year they both decided home-schooling was the best way to get him ready for college. >> i never thought about home-schooling before, in fact i had a negative view of it as a teacher because a lot of times the kids who came into my classroom who had been home-schooled were generally two to three years behind. >> meyers said she changed her mind after louisiana along with the rest of the country adopted and began implementing the common core state standards in 2010. common core was designed by state leaders and school superintendents to ensure children in participating states met the same math and english benchmarks from kindergarten through high school. advocates say they are more rigorous than previous standards and will ensure both parents and students of the quality of public schools. but opponents like meyers aren't convinced, espec

detective nathaniel hampton says abraham did everything a homeowner could do to protect his home and property. >> you secure your residence, and you go off to go wherever you go, and you come back and expect everything to be intact the way you left it. i think the suspect that burglarized this house, they could have gotten lucky that particular day by just seeing him back out of his driveway and assume that he was the only one in the residence. it was a golden opportunity for them to come up and just see if they could get in, and ultimately they did. >> but at least with surveillance cameras, victimized homeowners can have a fighting chance at catching the thieves. >> if you can afford some type of surveillance video, it's definitely a good protection to have, because if we can catch an individual on that tape, most likely we will identify him or her. >> abraham immediately alerts police and shows them his video. >> after viewing the videotape, i mean i could see that it was two suspects that was involved in the incident. they were eventually identified. >> the police eventually appr
