, and i talk about betsie ross because as many people here will know, betsie ross was an p upholsterer and made tassels and fringe and fabricated flags and a range of goods that decorated philadelphia interiors in that period. but in the legend she's recastb. what is it about women making furniture that is so hard to reconcile with popular imagination? so that is where the book began, to try and understand this phenomenon. as many of you know, the legend of betsie ross focuses on the one moment, june or may of 1776, on the eve of independence, and i want to share with you the legends as it comes down in the affidavits collected later by the family in case some of you are not familiar with those pieces. in the legend, george washington, george ross, and robert morris come to betsie ross's shop in the spring of 1776 and have in hand a design for a flag. in that design the stars they have in mind, have 6 points and the heart of the family story is how betsie ross looks at that design and snips a piece of paper and shows that making five pointed stars is more efficient and that's the heart

and so there's something that john ross wasn't altogether a sound mind and kind of his death.hat interests me about this is his mother, sarah, was committed to the wind john was a teenager. i know john's family struggled with sarah's mental health. john's struggle with mental health and then she had a cousin who was raised with her named rebecca who also at the end of her life describes herself as having gone lunatic and seems to fear, you know, you would call it a persecution complex. she sees people all around her who are conspiring against her. i'm adjusted in the history of mental health to see that in the 18th century was sort of surprising to me. the family story of the nevada. i never knew about the duty of iraq are free as you have to follow the story wherever it goes and so i got used tape a lot of interesting places. yeah, lee said.

looks like an explosion, gets by ross. >> bob: cody ross played that well to keep desmond at second basefirst pitch and fouled it away. scott's a pretty good hitter. he's 0-5 on the year but a .155 career batting average coming in. 15 rbis. the nats have found out in this little shop of horrors over the years that four run lead is not enough. >> rod: we're not that same team. we're not going to go back. we're trying to forget those years. kind of like going back on your first marriage, bob. you don't want to go back there. >> bob: well i'm quite happy in mine, so. >> rod: and i'm too, in my second marriage. this is a different team. i think other teams are waking up to a play in defense, hit the ball our and olsen will be punched out a break. strikeouts. same time tomorrow night. craig volstad and stammen at 6:30 and sunday a 1:05 first pitch and that will be josh johnson for the marlins and for the nationals john lannan. day off monday then the braves come in. atlanta braves, by the washing, got nate mccloud's second homer of the year at home tonight and turned around and tommy hansen g

cody ross bounced out to zimmerman first time.s went almost two weeks without giving up more than two runs in any inning. a big inning that always hurt them in this ballpark. mainly by the right-handed batters. for both pitchers, very few called strikes near the corner. if the umpire wants to be there for three hours and 15 minutes, he's set the stage and he's hearing about it from the nationals dugout. that's a very unhappy manager right now. changeup outside. 3-0. [ applause ] >> bob: they may go ahead and walk him now. they will. take their chances with brett carroll. so this will be john lannan's third walk. that was interesting because on that ball two pitch, the manager was complaining to the umpire and then riggleman was complaining to pudge rod guess. and pudge is like, "tell me about it." bases loaded for carroll. >> bob: now the marlins are mad about that one. [ laughter ] here's the base running bunch. uggla, sing. paulino, double. ross, intentionally walked. and brett carroll at the plate and a 4-2 game. bottom of the
