the film is in search of israeli cuisine directed by robert sherman. he'll be with us. the film is a guided tour through world of israeli cuisine. it's a mouth watering journey. we're led on the trip by michael, a celebrity chef from philadelphia. owner of a restaurant. his cookbook this year received james b award for best cookbook. we'll follow him. several local chefs will be there. lulu is coming also to cook dishes inspired by michael's cookbooks. really looking forward to that event. >> i think we have a clip. let's look at "in search of israeli cuisine ." >> i try not to defy my cuisine. once you define something, you have limit ands -- limits and boundaries to hit. >> it's about tasting new things and history. the complexity of things but also the beauty of things here. >> i've been asked so many times why exactly is israeli cuisine? >> we study french and spanish. >> israel is one of the leading forces of new cuisine in the world. >> palestinian iraq, this is russian. i don't know -- sweet potato? it's always been 5-kilometers. >> we do not choose ingredients t

philadelphia convention, robert sherman from connecticut said, if the vice president is not the person in the senate, he's not going to have anything to do. we agreed the vice president would be the vice president of the senate and that is what vice presidents up until elven barkley -- they spend most of their professional time presiding over the senate. the senate did not elect the vice president and they could not remove the vice president, so the senate was never interested in letting the vice president have much control. the vice president would decide but have no power over the senate. the other function of the vice president was to serve as a -- as the presidential successor. that was a contentious role. for most of our history the vice presidency was pretty insignificant. vice president's have little to do, so they look for other things to do to keep themselves busy. martin van buren's vice president spent much of his time when he wasn't providing over the senate running a tavern in washington. wrote history books during his vice presidency. , who said heevelt would rather be an

indeed robert o'connell described sherman's armies the first truly architypal american force. lieber's code put into practice is still used today by the arm the forces of the united states and continues to government how we fight. americans have no problem wreaking destruction on their enemies when the existence of the nation is at stake. douglas mcarthur's -- was lift out of sherman's playbook. once war is put upon us, there's no other alternative than to apply every means to bring it to a swift end. war's very object is a victory, not prolonged indecision. franc francis lieber's words, to save the country is paramount to all other considerations could have spoken about george patton as they mashed through another german town or curtis la may as he ordered the fire bombing of japanese cities. history deemed them heroes because their actions were against their country's foreign foes and sherman has been vilified as a terrorist because his actions, less severe, were against his country's domestic enemies. rightly or wrongly, sherman did what he deemed militarily necessary withi

robert o'connell described sherman's army as the first truly arceitrichial. the code is still put in forces today by the armed forces of the united states and continues to governor how we fight. americans have no problem reeking destruction on their enemies when the existence of the nation is at stake. in 1951, was lifted right out of sherman's play book. once war is placed upon us there is no other alternative than apply no other means than bring it to a assist end. war is a victory, not prolionge indecision. lieber's words in 1862, to save the country is paramount to all other considerations, could have been spoken by omar bradley, or george peyton as they smashed their way to another town, or cutis lemay, as he ordered the fire bombing of japanese cities. history deemed their heroes because their actions were against the foreign fauxes, while sherman has been vilified in many areas because his actions, though less severe, were against his country's domestic enemies. rightly or wrong three, sherman did what he deemed militarily necessary within the rules la

sherman. indeed, with the possible exception of robert e. lee, no civil war general is so well known by the public. certainly there is no soldier more associated with georgia than the man who became infamous as its destroyer. what i would like to do during the time that's been allotted to me this afternoon is to cut through some of the myths, the folklore, and outright distortions surrounding sherman and it's marthe march to the se. to that end, i'm going to attempt to answer three broad questions about the man, the march, and the memory. the man, the march, and the memory. first question, who was sherman and what were his reasons and motivations for waging what has come to be called hard war? secondly, what was the nature and impact of the march to the sea? how harsh was it? and was it necessary? and thirdly, what is the legacy of sherman and the march to the sea in modern america? what influence did he and the march have and what can we learn from the man and his march? so let's start with the man. not surprisingly, historians disagree abo

next to adams is roger sherman from connecticut. that's robert r livingston, who is between jefferson and sherman. than jefferson, and on the far side, benjamin franklin. the committee chose jefferson to write the declaration. the committee met and probably talked about the format and what it would look like, made clear to jefferson that he was not to introduce a lot of new ideas, but he was to explain independence in terms that the americans understood. jefferson wrote the document very quickly, probably within 3-5 days. probably working here and there around the congressional sessions, may be skipping a couple. students, keepmy be the deadline. deadline. the [laughter] he got a couple days at a time. to remember when we started, i said that john adams roche -- john adams wrote on july 1, today is a setup for the greatest debate all. that was the date that congress had set aside for this. so the debate begin on june the first, dickinson was the first to speak. i forgot to show you these -- this is jefferson. this is him perhaps puzzling over the

sherman had been forced to take command when general robert anderson's health failed, a post that three months earlier sherman had specifically asked president lincoln he not be given, and lincoln had agreed. sherman feared his troops were badly outnumbered and began to show signs of a nest breakdown -- nervous breakdown. as he requested, he was soon relieved of command and moved to a less stressful posting. but as a consequence of that demotion, newspapers around the country carried the startling headline general william t. sherman insane. and so, in january 1862, ellen traveled again on his behalf, this time to washington to ask the president of the united states for help in restoring her husband's reputation. that meeting was far more productive than jessie's had been in large part because of ellen's opinion of and attitude toward the president. sherman took president lincoln's advice, as ellen reported it to him, and soon was rising again in the ranks. again and again ellen asked cump if she could visit him in the field. he consistently refused until after the great union victory? v

also on the committee is robert livingston of new york who goes back ten years to the meetings held over the stamp taxes. you have a man from connecticut named roger shermangoing to end up signing not only the declaration of independence, but united states constitution, but also the articles of confederation. only two men can make that claim. he's on the committee. benjamin franklin from right here in philadelphia, which is far and away the most famous american at the time. 70 years old. oldest man in congress. and then one of the younger guys in congress, our fifth member, thomas jefferson, 33 years old. with that growing reputation for his writing and his political thought. and the committee sit, deciding what to say, decides jefferson should be the writer. he works for about 17 days on the declaration of independence, and he will especially go to john adams and benjamin franklin for some of their ideas and critiques of his writing. but generally it's his work. he's building on a lot of other things that he and others had written. some of the grievances they'd already been talking about make up a big bulk of that declaration of independence. by june 28t

sherman and marr did not get along at all. here's what happened. the irish could fight and did fight, and they quickly became known as one of the best units in the war. robert e. lee on the other side, on is slave holders side said famously here comes those damn green flags again. [laughter] and every time they saw it, they knew they were in for a hell of a fight. they preferred to fight up close, just pure savagery. sometimes it was hand-to-hand combat as opposed to fighting long. but marr called sherman an envenomed martinet. [laughter] he had the gift of gab. sometimes it got ahead of him. [laughter] and sherman saw this quote in the newspapers and never forgot about it. sherman later wrote: i have the irish brigade, thank god they can fight. but he couldn't stand the irish at all. one of the things was culture. you have to understand that between battles the irish would stage these massive festivals. while they're at war, they would have steeplechase races, they would have theater, they would have -- they would play their pipes and their fiddles til three in the morning. and, of course, they had a little liquor involved.
