with great perseverance, the community began to rally together and fetid proposals that finally landed on hud's desk. thousands of hours of meetings where people who had a variety of mines and which way to go. these four individuals never lost focus and they never lost focus despite everything that came to try to distract them, of different strategies and gimmicks that tried to undermine what the total cost was which was saving -- you should see the rebuild. it is beautiful. but its predecessor was and what the units look like and what they are now, this pales as an example in a post redevelopment world in the film more area. the fillmore was governed by the san francisco government agencies. to see this in the aftermath of the postwar development world is a signal of a community leader in the process and sending a very strong process -- a signal that this is being driven by the committee and it would not have happened if it was not for these individuals. on behalf of everyone else that came garvey, whether they were for this proposal or not, it came together and it coincides with some

however, perseverance accomplished what at first seemed impossible. narrator: washington's army includes 16-year-old john greenwood, who later wrote about the ordeal. man as greenwood: it rained, hailed, snowed and froze. when i turned my face to the fire, my back would be freezing. however, by turning myself round and round, i kept myself from perishing. narrator: the boats ferry soldiers across the river about 40 at a time. there are 2,400 men in all, more than 100 horses and 18 cannon. the operation takes nearly ten hours-- far longer than expected. fischer: washington was sitting on the east bank of the delaware, the new jersey side, wrapped in his cloak against the weather and wondering should he call it off. and came very close to doing that. they were now so late that they'd be attacking in daylight, and he felt that surprise would be lost, and the operation became even more desperate. but then, he decided that to get those men into the boats and send them back again might be even more difficult than going forward, and so off they went. narrato

for the spirit of peaceful protests and perseverance that the egyptian people have shown can serve as a powerful wind at the back of this change. the united states will continue to be a friend and partner to egypt. we stand ready to provide whatever assistance is necessary and asked for to pursue a credible transition to a democracy. i'm also confident that the same ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that the young people of egypt have shown in recent days can be harnessed to create new opportunities, jobs and businesses that allow the extraordinary potential of this generation to take flight. and i know that a democratic egypt can advance its role of responsible leadership not only in the region, but around the world. egypt has played a pivotal role in human history for over 6,000 years but over the last few weeks, the wheel of history turned at a blinding pace, as the egyptian people demanded their universal rights. it's our mothers and fathers carrying their children on theii shoulders to show them what true freedom might look like. we saw young egyptians say, for the first time

but, again, we don't know anything about loyalty or the perseverance of those at this point that are fighting for qaddafi. >> lehrer: mr. mcgregor, i assume you agree with that, righting? that the unknowns much outweigh the knowns at this point. >> well, we do know a few things and one is that the military capability of most of the libyan army is very limited and the officers, for example, are constantly rotated between different units to prevent any kind of personal loyalty blowing up within a certain unit. the point of this policy, of course, is to always keep the military in a position where they're unable to mount a military coup much as colonel qaddafi led in 1969. so he's always very conscious of this possibility and he does basically everything he can to keep all the units of the military that are not under the person control of his sobs away from the best hardware and away from proper training and in many cases they even have limited ammunition stocks. so there's only so much we could expect from these type of force >> lehrer: mr. mcgregor, the in the next day or twoor three
