director rick burns.ok, one of the things you talk about is the way in which the civil bar changed our conception of sort of nationalism of pate ro tichl. why did it do that. >> it did that based in part on ensuring the lives of half of the american nation. i think lincoln capture thad so well in the getsyburg address. they had a text toll almost unimaginable. 2.5% of the population died in the war. this would be the equivalent of 7 million americans today. and so when you think about those kinds of fwhirms, i think it reminds you of how people must have had to struggle in order to cope with those deaths. and 1-800-part of that was sim will i the military deaths. what did you do with the bodies? how did you identify them when people didn't have dog tags? how did you have next of kin when there was no system of notification. so there emerges from the war a reburial movement in which after the fighting has ceased in 1865 union troops moved through the south looking for the soldiers looking to protect and ho

woodruff: rhard haas, quickly on what has not been talked about and what about the russia point that rick burns just made? >> well, countries like russia, china and many others, you'rei going to have thisy ralt where they're not going to be clearly adversaries. they're clearly not going to be allies. it's going to be in between. this is going to be an era where nimble foreign policy is going to be the order of the day. what we didn't hear about what, say, anything about mexico or really latin america, about africa, about climate change, about japan. more broadly about asia. they talked about china but asia is getting in some ways, quote unquote, interesting again. in some ways it reminds me of europe of areentury ago where a lot of countries are begin to go get more atiff in their foreign policies. you don't have the regional institutions. you don't yet have the reconcilitiion of past frictions. ihunch is the new president will not have to deal simply with all the obvious challenges of the greater middle east we have come to know. my hunch is they're going to have to deal with all the problems

so would rick berg who we just saw in front of the burning chair. so would josh mandel in ohio.d michael baumgartner, so would tom smith in pennsylvania, and so would everyone's favorite rape pundit, the gentleman from missouri. >> if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. >> todd akin the republican senate candidate in missouri. like the republican vice presidential nominee this year, they all have the same position on what they want the government to force rape victims to do against their will. which raises the question of what counts as being too creepy about rape now. what counts as an unacceptable level of creepiness when it comes to rape ideas from republican politicians? and that unanswered question set up a big new question mark. for thursday night's debate between paul ryan and joe biden. how would paul ryan hold to that position on stage. as mr. ryan and mr. romney try to make themselves over. would this be their turn to the center? no. >> in the past he has argued that there's rape in forceable rape. he's argued that in

a fire at a bar but what they found when the flames were out was much worse than just a burned out building. rick folbaum has details from the breaking news desk. rick? >> reporter: a news conference we're monitoring from denver, jenna. no doubt about it this fire was deliberately set and whoever set it was trying to cover up a multiple homicide. that fire reported 2:00 a.m. local time. when firefighters got to the scene they found four women and one man dead inside of a bar. police do not think they died in the fire. apparently the bodies were in the kind of shape that leads them to believe they were murdered before the fire began. this was thero's bar and grill on colorado boulevard. it is five miles south of the downtown area in denver. the victims have not been identified yet. police are asking the public for help. anybody who may have been at the bar last night. you're asked to call. hear is the tip line for the denver pd. 303-6568-4336 is the number. they are trying to figure out the cause of death of those victims, jenna. autopsies being done on them and as we get more information we'll re

rick, last month when they announced qe-3, mr. bernanke said it was designed to boost main street. the numbers getting now, you seem to sense -- and you heard this from ursula burns at xerox, that you're starting to see a definite slowdown occurring again. it would appear that at least this rounds in the early stages isn't have the impact that mr. bernanke was hoping, right? >> right. whether it's fedex, cisco, google, there's obviously some misses. we see certain areas, especially technology, where, you know, many investors try to hide out. well, there is no place to hide. i think if there's one dark side to the fed programs, it's that in the end i really don't think that they can help the economy. i think that they could try to prime the pump in some weird ways, but the issue really is that you can't prime a pump ever to. it's not priming the pump if the only thing that comes out is primer water. i think there's nothing that beats old-fashioned economic growth. i think right now whether it's europe or the u.s., the plans to really unleash growth aren't necessarily the right plans. i don't think we're far off. i continue to look at our neighbors to the north who
