his father, james otis senior, as chief justice of the colony. because of a clear conflict of interest. young otis grew a rational swearing to undermine government in retaliation. i shall set the province in flames even if i die in the attempt he shouted. as his anger fester, he edged toward insanity, wandering into a boston tavern frequented by british officers to provoke a fight. he got it. an officer responded by coughing him over the head with a broadside of his sword. although he recovered from the physical ones, he drifted in and out of insanity for the rest of his life. at times he would poke his head out of the window and start firing into the park at unseen british enemies. one time he wandered into the state assembly, drew his sword and challenge the prime minister of england to come to boston and fight a dual. eventually france tie him down in a chair and carried him to the insane asylum. despite adams' depravity and otis' and sanity at last adams command of a powerful force of armed thugs in boston. but a repeal of the stamp act still

they voted him out of office and sent otis back to the famous island.the army command felt the same way. there troops they said come to america to fight the enemies of the colonists, not the colonists themselves who are after all their own countrymen. so the army pulled out of boston and peace returned to boston and the rest of the colonies. troubles between britain and her colonies should have ended then and there. everyone living happily ever after under the union jacket. except, except one tiny area that remained in the economic relationship with the motherland and repealing the townshend duties, the small group of angry parliamentarians decided they needed to retain some symbol of what they insisted was parliament absolute authority to tax all british subjects with or without their consent. although parliament had yielded to all the demands of the americans, its majority felt it had to retain at least one of the townshend duties as a symbol of it already so it retained the smallest most innocuous one, the one on tv. wow, what a colossal miscalculati

elisha otis -- elijah otis successfully demonstrated the safety device he had created. even of the elevator and he cut the device, and he did not fall. everyone was impressed by that. in 1857, the oldest brother's company installed their first passenger elevator on broadway in new york. believe it or not, many of those first elevators were actually started and stopped by a hand broke. >> what drove those old elevators? what was their motive power? >> in some cases, they might have even been hp. >> and then changed to electric? >> electric cited to come in the 1890's, and that was around the time when the elevator stopped from material handling and started to be used more frequently for passengers. in 1878, there was a demonstration of the other thing that allowed architects to build taller buildings was the advent of a higher quality steel manufacturing. in 19003, the first production year track models were introduced, that it was when things took off. >> that mostly happened in new york city? >> lower manhattan was the first place that took off, then chicago. those ear

we just had the -- we all celebrated wildly the 150th anniversary of otis's invention of the elevatord it was with that that we then could combine new methods of construction, steel construction and other construction, to build high rise buildings. >> because after about six floors you got kind of tired of walking to your office. there was an upper limit of how tall you could build the building, and get people to walk up to the top and rent space. >> there are super-tall buildings, how fast could you make an elevator accelerate and decelerate and make people comfortable. i'm lawrence cornfield, chief building inspector. the building code is very interesting, it addresses things beyond the structure of the building and the steel and the floor. it addresses things that make people comfortable. so how fast the elevator goes is the sort of thing that the building code addresses that are sort of social issues. for example, mod yuls of elasticity of flor. you want to stiffen the floor so you don't feel uncomfortable. >> one thing you don't want to have happen, you're sitting at a desk and s

james otis was an attorney in boston, and he wrote about these things they called in those days writs of assistance. these were general warrants. the king would write them, or actually they were written by soldiers here. they didn't name the person to be searched or the place, and they were used as a way to have the king have his way with the people and to bully the people. the idea of general warrants is what really sorely offended our founding fathers. that's why we got the fourth amendment. the fourth amendment was the product of a decade or more of james otis arguing cases against the british government. but the question you have to ask yourself when thinking about these issues is it's not so simple that you can just say well, i'm either against terrorism or i'm going to let terrorists run wild and take over the country. you can be opposed to terrorists. we can go after terrorists. we can go after murderers and rapists and people who commit crimes, but we can do it with a process that protects the innocent. you know, we -- we looked at -- i think so far they say we have looked at

agency for international development or oti is working fairly closely with special forces teams on bottom-up initiatives. this was an international issue for a long time. the military probably moved earliest on this around 2009. most everybody is now on board. the biggest challenge is probably when you get to rural areas of afghanistan, the military footprint is still the largest by far. it civilian agencies are restrained either because of their presence at the embassy in kabul or ed very finite number of reconstruction teens, is the military out in the field that is the one that general -- that executes a lot of these governments, developments, and military missions. that is because they're the only ones out there on a range of missions. >> a great deal of progress has been made. unity of effort within the military much less across the dimensions of the effort is famously difficult. there are still some important challenges that remain. i think they tend to stem from the underdevelopment of the government side of the campaign plan for the conduct of operations in theater. there are a varie
