now, realize robert e. lee in the mexican war where he is the finest soldier scott ever saw on the field really didn't have a command. he was on scott's staff. lee has never commanded anything more than two companies of marines at harper's ferry on act 16th, 1859, when they stormed the fire engine house and captured five rebels commanded by john brown. harper's ferry, 1859. now, maybe commanding two companies of marines is all you need. the marines contend that way anyway. but here is lee confronting 105,000 yankees who are in the suburbs of richmond. and what did he do? he set his men to work digging trenches, field fortifications. and so this man who had been called granny lee, the overcautious, is now known as the king of spades because all he wants to do is have these trained killers, these warriors, dig ditches with shovels with picks and things and that's not much fun. but that's what soldiers do! and lee points that out. what he wants to do and what he did was to hold richmond with 25,000 troops, fal

robert hatcher: pelvic inflammatory disease is not an equal opportunity disease. it causes infertilely, chronic pain, hysterectomies for women, no comparable pathology for a man. so if a man tells a woman "but i love you so much, i mean, i'm taking my chances. you take your chances." you just tell that man that the risks are not the same. we can be encouraged that there have been some declines in gonorrhea, but gonorrhea rates are highest in the united states among industrialized countries. so what does all this mean to us personally? alexandra levine: maybe we have to think in a society a little bit differently about sexual behaviors. there was a time in the '60's where life changed and behaviors that were very common in the 1940's or 1950's went away. maybe you got to think about that a little bit. is it necessary to have sex with somebody that you don't really know? and we better look at that in a very careful way as a society. that's hard to do, but that's the real issue. who is that partner? how important is he to you? because the fact of the matter is, in a

robert crick, your nomination was thomas stonewall jackson. outside of the south in 1862, how well-known was stonewall jackson? >>. >> '62 began, he was barely known in the south and probably not at all in the north and the impact that he made in 1862 seems to me to be in large part eight consequence of that explosion as though on a cat at that time put to fame. his impact on the year in the minds of southerners and of northerners both the soldiers in the field and the civilians at home on both sides of the river went from nothing to i an great deal and that is part of my case in making him the man of the year for 1862. he gave the south the opportunity to look for some success and find a good bit of it later in 1862. they had had non, not i an tincture of success until jackson a little bit in march but mostly may and june in 1862 in the virginia shenandoah valley won victories is of some consequence. they had some substance but they were not as important in actual fact as they were in the minds on both sides about the new nation having a life

robert krick joins us from the rye bra library of virginia. your nomination was thomas stonewall jackson. outside of 9 south the south, h mon known was jackson? >> he was barely known in the south and probably pot at all in the north. the impact seems to be a consequence of the explosion as though on a catapult to fame. the impact went from nothing to a great deal. and that is part of my case in making him the man of the year for 1862. he gave the south the opportunity to look for some success and find a good bit of it later this 1862. they had had none, not a hint of success until jackson. a little bit in march, but mostly then may and june of 1862 in virginia shenandoah valley. won victories that were of some consequence. they had some substance, but they were not as important as actual fact as they were in the minds on both sides about the new nation having a life, having some potential, having some capacity to succeed. >> toward the end of your comments, make you the poiyou yu thought jackson would have been a failure as the head of an arm

robert small showed it all. they weren't about to arm these people. not only does president lincoln need these african-americans to help him win this war -- by the way, by the time they put richmond under siege during the civil war, the united states general grant assembles the 25th army corps, which is 25,000 african-american soldiers. their part of the siege of richmond. and they are chasing robert e. lee when he leaves richmond on his way to apomapics. they flank him on the southwest side and he's trying to break out and go down to johnson and north carolina. he looks out of the side, he sees 25,000 after can american soldiers. at that point lee had fewer than 20,000 men in his own army. that's right. one writer said, david blight, that general grant pulled soldiers back so robert e. lee wouldn't have to suffer the dignity of surrendering to an african-american regiment. that's the kind of healing. first you win the war, now have you to win the peace. so, you don't want to offend the dignity of the south, number one. well, sometimes we can manipula
