roosevelt. of the two greatest problems to be solved in the 20th century, from an american point of view one was the great crash of '29 and the great depression that followed it, and the other was the threat of expansionism from dictators, nazis and fascists among them. franklin roosevelt actually managed to combine -- first of all, he presided over both and he cured both and he actually managed to cure the first one by encouraging the second one, if you like. but let me start off explaining to you why it's called "the sphinx." as mrs. clinton has discovered, there's a lot to be said for not declaring your intentions if you're a presidential candidate. because as soon as you say that you're going to stand for something, then orr people can also start -- other people can also start running for something. whereas if you're the preeminent person, the leader in an unstated pack of competitors then the best thing to do is to keep quiet. franklin roosevelt, in order to encourage the american nation in

the of franklin roosevelt roosevelt, of people would put it churchill and roosevelt in the same boat as the son of the duke there is a number that said that is why they got on but there was a profound difference as an old imperialists and the british empire of a divine presence you may remember not long ago when half of the world was painted pink of the british empire. but roosevelt believe the willses notion that each should have its own independence and should find its own way in the world if rolled or to mention anything it was the end of the british empire so that is why he was happy to press his advantage. i will give you an example here, the list that was handed over south american railroads and rubber plantations in malaysia. roosevelt said how about bob argentina? these are big companies, shell oil oil, tobacco there were all sold to american interests at a knockdown great before america would provide arms for nothing. even sent a destroyer for $50 billion worth of gold just to put into perspective with the sum of money of 800 billion that is how much that was worth is in for

progressivism was associated with teddy roosevelt in 1912. teddy roosevelt went a little unhinged. he was consumed with hatred of woodrow wilson. these guys said the progressive ideals about having reform checking corporations, expanding democracy -- without ever really defining what they meant by liberalism, there was a set of ideas and a set of attitudes that accreted over a short period of time. the best summation of liberalism i've ever heard comes out of that croley book i mentioned at the beginning, "the promise of american life," which was hamiltonian means to achieve jeffersonian ends. it isn't a phrase that appears in croley's book. croley's book is hard to read. a historian who summarized it use that phrase to encapsulate it, and people attributed to croley even though croley isn't there. the idea that you need individual liberty is what liberals aspire to have, but the message that you get there sometimes involves having a very strong government. corporations -- liberalism when it was conceived in the enlightenment was meant to check a monarch and to check churches. when

it did not matter to roosevelt. you know, he said, these were a splendid set of men, they were tall, they were sitting we -- s inewey, they were men who were evenhanded. this is a scene at running from american history and going back through reconstruction. what is interesting in this is that teddy roosevelt had deliberate cultivation of the cowboy, and when william mckinley was assassinated in 1901 and mckinley was a real big business republican, and went roosevelt takes the helm, he said he told mckinley that it was a mistake to nominate that wild man in philadelphia, and no look, that wild cowboy is the president of the united states and teddy roosevelt buried a liberally took that image. in the early 20th century, the cabal of the images you have of the cowboys of the 20th century you don't have any, because the western image of the early 20th century is of okies, it is of a terribly hard life people pour off the plane, the whole reason we have mount rushmore is because they are so desperate to get anybody to se

politics since roche had left the roosevelt administration. she was in the public eye again, as suggested by senator morse on the floor of the senate in 1965. social welfare farmers in -- reformers in the 1960's saw her as a predecessor and sought her out. in the mainstream press, airing the 60's, roche was represented as an old woman with hearing aids and a cane, which she was and her accomplishments at the welfare fund were attributed to her fellow trustee, john l lewis. this was a gross misrepresentation. at the fund, roche made all of the day-to-day decisions, and the overwhelming majority of major policy decisions. john l lewis knew virtually nothing about health care or retirement pensions, which is why he hired roche to run the fund in 1948. the two worked hand in glove to run the fund, but it was often roche who developed decisions and can -- convinced louis of their merit. she was anything but a rubberstamp to the great man. josephine roche disappeared in history, in part, because of the anti-communist crusade that prompted her to do

suddenly, roosevelt dies.eorge marshall, chief of staff, went to find truman and say, "you are it now." he sat down with truman and told truman about the atom bomb. he said this is something we've got to address, and you should know about it right now. truman had to start on a quick learning curve. statistics show that had the level of combat we experienced with japan, in okinawa, we had 60 or 70 ships sunk by the kamikaze, the casualties would've been close to a million allied forces' casualties. the japanese probably would have suffered twice that number of casualties as a consequence of our predominant airpower and naval power that we were going to bring to bear in that battle. it was going to be a terrific battle. weigh those facts as you think about it. >> you bring up the death of roosevelt. that is one of the key points of history where everybody remembers where they were if they were alive. do you recall that day? >> i know. it was still cold in great lakes . we had just finished recruit training in ma

she was so angry about franklin roosevelt.he was fourth -- a feminist, her fun -- her fundamental heresy, was claiming a woman's right to experience their sexuality free of consequence, just as men have always done. the hardest challenge in writing about her today, and over the last 20 years, talking about her as well as writing about her, is to explain how absolutely destabilizing she was in her own time. even given in warmest backlash against women's rights today and in the years since my book was published, it is hard to inhabit in era in our own history when sex was seen more as an obligation rather than pleasure for women, mother -- motherhood is a primary goal. women were denied identities of their own as citizens, and they had compromise -- compromise rights, no protection from violence. this unyielding principle of mail cover to her -- male cove ture was key to understanding why her arguments were so profound. examining all this in the context of the recent expansions of international human rights discourse, which i ha

roosevelt to have a certain scent the four john kai-shek in other lonely thinker complained to his son you know why doesn't this guy fight? are away on the same side here to defeat the japanese? the americans didn't realize the two chinese parties were not republican and democrat and they were going to have an election and the loser of the election would have a country that would never happen in three years history. and never had a coalition government in all of that time. contesting parties had never in chinese history come to an agreement to work out a coalition government. and yet, we were ecstatic and him not to fight -- not to prepare for the war against the communists on the grounds that somehow it would work out. they would come to terms. the communists thought a grand total of one major battle against the japanese. that was in 1840 something called 100 regimens of sensitive was undertaken by the commander of communist forces and noticed that to the opposition of now, who wanted to preserve communist force is for the showdown in the future. in other words, exactly what many of t

she approached president franklin roosevelt and first lady eleanor roosevelt with the idea of using womenfly america's military aircraft should women be needed. at the time, they weren't, but they did think it was a great idea. december 7, 1940 one, pearl harbor was attacked by japan. men immediately enlisted and were sent off to the european and pacific fronts and at that time, by 1942, america was experiencing a severe shortage of combat pilots over north africa. thinking back to jacqueline cochran's proposition about flying these aircraft, general henley -- henry arnold took her up on the offer. the women air force service pilots were formed. >> when i got out of high school, i started taking flying lessons. this was in a piper cub, where the instructor sits in the front and the student in the back. one day, when i had had perhaps nine hours of flying, he told me to pull over on the tarmac when i landed and he started getting out of the airplane and he told me it was time for me to take it around by myself. so he closed the door and i took off and he said watch me from the ground and i

when president roosevelt was heard about the great news, he held a press conference. and as you know, at the press conference, when he was asked, where did the bombers take off from? he said, from a secret base in shangri-la. we know that this is not a fantasy. in the first place, it is very difficult for a b 25 to take off from an aircraft carrier. the runway is not long enough. and then, because the aircraft carrier has to stay away from the japanese homeland, from being detected too early, it is almost 700 miles in between. it is too far. even though the b-25s can fly to japan, it does not have enough fuel to fly back. but as a miracle, all 16 b 25's, they all took off as planned. they penetrated into japanese airspace almost uninterrupted. they bombed the japanese cities. not heavy bombing but symbolic bombing. they bombed tokyo, nagoya, yokohama. to warn the japanese. and it is a surprise, it is a miracle, they managed to get out almost unharmed. but where would they go to land? so the original plan was to have a chinese airport. they fly across the east china se
