scholars like his domestic policies.ind a lot to desire in his prosecution of the vietnam war where he conceals the true extend of the united states involvement from the public. and makes a number of tactical decisions that potentially under mine the chances of the united states prevailing. in 1997, published rating the presidents. they take a poll of 719 people. 97 of these individuals were professors of american history or political signs. the other individuals would be some public officials, attorneys, and so forth. they are asking the sample to rate presidents on five different dimensions. leadership qualities, accomplishments in crisis management, political skill, appointments, character and integrity. participants in the event asked to rank the relative importance of the five dimensions. if you think character was most important to presidential greatness or leadership qualities. according to this system, again, lincoln is number one. roosevelt is number two. george washington number three. thomas jefferson is numbe

the scholars will know greatness when they see it. people have to do is rate each great, average, below average or tell your they will be assigned the appropriate numerical score which allows us to come up with average. his father did an early study of ranking the presidents in 1948 published in life magazine. he is following in his father's house. according to this study lincoln's 1. washington is 2. roosevelt is 3. they achieve greatness averages. all 32 individuals gave lincoln a score of 4. jefferson, jackson, roosevelt, wilson, truman, polk and thousand higher -- eisenhower. c-span did a presidential 2009.ship survey in common sense them because they talk about the scholars ourselves in this class earlier in the semester. historians are asked to rate the president on 10 different attributes. public persuasion, prices, moral authority, international relations, administrative skill, relations with congress, vision and setting agenda. and their performance within the context of their time. you may be saying that is a lot. 10 differe

but, before this, what ask whatf the economy and scholars? think that it is an academic duty and the scholar's duty to condemn colonization. during the time i started the international legal studies program here at wco, i realized that the insular cases are not part of the constitutional law. i decided to write a paper in which the historical background of the territorial clause and the insular case were the main topic. was back then enrolled in a very interesting course titled the con stulgz in timitution in tim congress. my professor was interested in the topic and helping me with the research. he told me that the insular cases were absent of the constitutional law at the academic levels in law schools in the united states. i must admit i was very surprised by that assertion. i was astonished by that conversation since i wasn't able to understand why the doctrine in the cases derived directly from the academy in the development of the united states constitutional law then why the same we're not part of the subject matter in law schools? in

a road scholar, a man who is a white house fellow. he read some place in the newspaper a little squib about someone with his name who grew up in baltimore, convicted of murder and serving long term, the other westmore was a drug dealer, crack dealer, the coincidence here is pretty much the entire story. one of them goes on to lead the good life, the other goes on to lead a terrible life. growing up in the same city right as it happened that way. one in the opposite direction. we don't know whether this is circumstance or whatever it might be. there is a lot to think about, the other westmore have a lot of bad breaks, was ashamed. the reason this gets assigned as much as it does get assigned is it allows the white students to feel not entirely guilty about this. they should have empathy for the other westmore and realized there were choices too. it stands in the little of the black lives matter movement, where we can think about injustice in american life. it is not entirely involving justice as the other was more is a really bad dudes

we have seen how scholars have defined it. about moderation. different systems that we review include things like political skill, character, legislative skill, and so forth. that would be the first question, how would you define presidential greatness. yes. >> >> the way i define presidential greatness is if the president is able to set and pass legislation quickly, and whether they are able to mitigate out of that nationally or internationally. i think for, at least me, one of the issues with the argument, and a lot of the ways we look at the president is overtime, their ability to do things decreases. in the last two years of his presidency, he was unable to pass any of his legislation. rapid action.r is issueyou think it is an that the presence ability to get things through congress will be out of their control given the numbers they have in congress? a democratic majority of the other presidents have not had. is ithink the thing doesn't really matter if they majority.stantial i don't to get really matters the actual numbers of people in yo

and scholars are friendly to that point of view. and the presentation on this what we are writing about, trying to reign it in a little bit, clearly some element of goodwill in the selection of these books. they could do a lot worse. it is not an agenda -- something else, and outcast united, another children's book about a multicultural soccer team in south carolina, a do-gooder, a bunch of immigrant kids around the world whose prospect are bleak and their lives are transformed. >> peter? >> adapted for young people by warren st. john. >> he put 100 pages out of it, the shorter version is suitable. >> the spirit of this whole enterprise, and they are united in coming together in opposition enterprise in which they generate a new more wholesome culture and that is one reason books, not just classics in the classical sense but books written before they were born were so huge. 91% of the books signed in common reading programs around the country this year, after these children were born, 91%. it is as though the written word hardly exi

but before this what is the duty of the economy and scholars? i think it is an academic duty as a scholars duty to condemn colonists and. during the time i studied in the program here, i realize that the cases are not part of the contents of any constitutional law force. during my second term i decide to write a paper which i the historical background of the territorial clause settled in the case with the main topic. i was back then enrolled in a very interesting course titled the constitution in times of crisis. the drafting of the paper was required as part of the final grade for the course. in meetings with my professor back then it was her interest in the topic in helping me with the research, he told me the cases were absent of the discussions of constitutional law at the academic level in law schools in the united states. i must admit i was surprised by that assertion. i was astonished by that conversation since i simply wasn't able to understand why although the doctrine itself in the cases derived directly from the intervention in the de

caller: my question is for either one of the scholars or both of the scholars. the klanon is, is involved in any way in this case? michael: in louisiana, it wouldn't be the kkk, it would be the knights and the crescent city white league. there's a paramilitary group known as the louisiana legion. the way they are involved in this case is this is a full front assault on reconstruction lodged by the democratic party , politically, lodged by the the knightsodged by of the white camelia. they are killing people in the freed men and political leaders. then, there's campbell, who doesn't pick up a gun but picks up his legal briefs. it is campbell and a number of other lawyers. they go to court. combined, it is a full blown , rule or ruin, massive resistance to reconstruction. host: so, you said the case had to be argued twice. why is that? why does that happen? paul: the first time it is argued, one of the justices is effectively indeposed. -- indisposed. you have nine justices but one of them is unavailable, and so the court is not in a position to decide the case. i

through scholars in the it is not unusual to participate in discussions in which scholars pretend to establish the people of puerto rico as perfectly happy. the people of puerto rico have consented to the actual relationship with the united states or the alternative that we have done nothing. in the 1st place, it is clear the main cause of the economic crisis is probably the colonial rule which the house has been submitted to. in 2012 the actual territorial relationship. the university of puerto rico on april 4 fiscal poverty and puerto rico. the inter-american commission, both issues of human rights. in light of that to change the paradigms that the case is much more than a simple political matter. [applause] >> thank you, professor. answer the question that was asked. >> yes. >> while it is true when you compare puerto rico to estate you do not fare well. if you compare puerto rico we fare very well and we compared to the united states because that should be our goal. second, puerto ricans cherish our us citizenship by removing ourselves, the impediment of the current, the power of

then in 2007, another biblical scholar starts to doubt this interpretation. >> i began to do my own workranslating the gospel of judas. and what i began noticing is that there were certain selections of words and translation that didn't reflect the actual coptic language. and so this caused me to really sit down and take a second look at this text and start to ask questions, what do we really have here? >> april deconick has come to geneva, to the foundation now keepers of the gospel of judas, to see the actual papyrus for the very first time. >> oh, my gosh, look at that. >> just as judas is finally being rehabilitated, april deconick takes a look at this papyrus and finds, wait a minute. it's not saying what we think it is saying. >> so there are mistakes in the translation from the very first page. in fact, the very first line. there were certain word choices that were being made, and there were certain reconstructions of holes in the manuscript that were being made that didn't reflect what i saw there. >> deconick re-examines a key moment in the gospel when judas receives his vision.

as an organization, the national association of scholars have a duty to be optimistic to try to find something in this that can reading this enterprise. if colleges are not going to go back and re-create some kind of core curriculum, common reading may only be a band-aid, but at least it's a band-aid. therefore let's go out and find the best band-aids we can. certainly henrique's journey or just mercy don't make the cut. we need something a something a little bit better than that and some persuasion on the part of those who do like to read can go a long way. i imagine every single person in this room, that's here, feel books have change your life. something that you read turned on your light and made you somebody who wanted to read for the rest of that life. we want you to take that that caring into this public discussion. we've published us 200 page report about this and we need to talk about it not just hang our heads and say what a sad situation. there's family members that care about this too. we encourage you to go out and talk about this. let's get a conversation started in thi

i am peter wood, president of the national association of scholars. in 2009, a young man heading for a sea side vacation in mexico picked up a heavy book for beach reading. an 800 page tome on the life of an 18th-century immigrant. 50 pages or so in the book the story took possession of the 29-year-old who had emerged from the reading of 2004 alexander hamilton is now the hottest ticket on broadway. it is noted for many things including the representation of the exact facts. beach books are not easy reading and they can kick up a lot of sand. one of the top five most assigned college readings for college freshman last year was also a book about the obstacles overcome by on immigrant. it is the shorter "enrique's journey" which offers the account of a 16-year-old who is a drug dealer and thief making his way across mexico. her book contrast the turn of several points. one is that the book is written at a level appropriate for fifth graders as gauged by the independent rating system. well, welcome to the launch of the national association of scholars ne

welcome to the launch of the national association of scholars. signed by colleges and universities through 2014 and 2015 a little later you will hear from the director who first conceived of the recent program was what college's value. to establish the subject that professors and the general public take seriously. to join the national association of scholars to synthesize that massive collection into a coherent analysis. and we will have time later but our quito speaker the professor from emory university at the national endowment for the arts but the ad how grateful i am against that threatens to drown the public culture.for the clearly it is much a matter of urgent concern as the national association of scholars.er than [applause] fakes. it is the happy news of the read the choices by the colleges. so i will tell theac background white colleges even have these programs. for those problems they are facing in these programs which can run all year long with the organized programs into those courses and not just for the books for them to read.nt to

the national association of scholars is friendly to that point of view in that we would rather talk less of it in our previous years of presentation and some of the opposites that we been writing about. i tried to bring it in a little bit that there's clearly some elements of goodwill in the selection of books. it's not just all about politics. it is not just an agenda reading 24 hours a day. something else is is going on. one of the popular books this year is outcast united. it's another children's book basically about a soccer team in south carolina, a do-gooder and volunteers who organize a bunch of immigrant kids from all over the world's who prospects are bleak and suddenly their lives are transformed because they can all play soccer together. >> adapted for young people by warren st. john. >> this is the shorter version. >> the title rather nicely catches the spirit of this whole enterprise. the act outcast united, the students are taught to think of themselves as outcasts and their united and coming together where they can generate a new more wholesome culture and that's one main

i took no notes, which is something i have never done before as a scholar. i took absolutely no notes. i just read all those letters aloud. i let mary's life unfolds through the letters. i started with an absolute blank slate. we committed to that. no negative, no positive opinions. i concentrated hard on mary's voice, i really try to get inside her head. even though couple of my friends warned me about the dangers of getting inside a crazy lady's head. but i'm kind of a crazy lady to, just ask my husband. there, and it in didn't think it was really all that crazy inside of mary lincoln's head, after all. i spent about three months just reading those letters. all the while i was thinking about how personal and historical experiences were shaping mary's life. about how mary viewed those experiences, and about how mary understood her familial, social, and public relationships. and about how mary was to finding -- defining the world around her. the more i read, the more realized not only did the mary haters understand mary, but i have not understood her either.

i read the article by paul clement and another scholar and they laid it out clearly.ng -- this has nothing to do with -- >> but simple -- passed law that is one sentence law. >> it's crystal clear, gregg, and that donald trump's only point that is valid, the supreme court of the united states has not squarely ruled on this, but any legal scholar is going to say, that he is going prevail on this. >> even harvard law professor tribe, that you pointed out, if you actually read the column that tribe wrote, which i did several times, he agrees that cruz is a citizen eligible to be president. he just makes this sort of round-about argument if you believe cruz's judicial philosophy you might -- >> says if he is really an originalist, it's ironic because >> right. donald trump is misinterpreting what he said. >> yes. >> good to see you. >>> word hillary clinton could soon be facing questions from the fbi over e-mails from when she was secretary of state. so what happens if clinton gets indicted? all the chaos on the republican side is nk/2c6)hñ compared to wt the dems would b

but before this, what is the duty of the academy and scholars? i think that it is an academic duty and scholar's duty to condemn colonialism. when i started my studies here at cco, i found out the insular casings are not part of any constitutional law course. during my second semester i decided to write a paper in which the historical background of the territory clause were the main topic. i was back then enrolled in a very interesting course titled, the constitution in times of crisis. the drafting of the paper was required for final grade in that course. the meeting with my professors back then was very interesting with the topic and research. he told me the insular case were simply absent of the discussion of political law in academic level at law schools in the united states. i must admit that i was very surprised by that assertion. i was astonished by that conversation since i wasn't able to understand why, although the doctrine sell in the cases derived likely from the academy of interdevelopment of united states constitutional law, then wh

worked for me for many years who is now down at the department of homeland security, she is a road scholar and anyway, we had a great visit about her. he married her so it was really a pleasant meeting and i enjoyed it very much. the concern that we have especially after meeting this good man is why can't the republicans just do what they are supposed to, just to do their jobs? why are they afraid to meet with him? why are they afraid to hold hearings, are they afraid that the american people are going to watch these hearings and demand that they do something more than they are demanding now? i don't get what they are trying to do. last night the republican leader admitted that leading him on this banquet is not the goal. the goal of course is to try to wallop the base for the november elections and they are already spending money to drum up the support that they are getting it comes from dark money. they were afraid she might get the nod from the president so he went after this good woman who's on the circuit court covering iowa. remember what the senator said right after obama was electe

some scholars look at that as selling out. i think we have to look at it from the perspective of what it 1870, rather than looking back from our current point and saying, oh, he was selling out the idea of sovereignty. i think parker was looking at it like a political entrepreneur and someone who practiced pragmatic politics. he was a pragmatist.

memoir, speaking in my class earlier today about the fascinating memoir by marjorie who is a great scholar of postmodern literature she has a new book coming out in may, the edge of irony talking about her memoir of being a child in vienna, leaving her home with her parents in 1938 and how much her life was affected by nazi -ism, but in such a different way then ellie giselle. i think history provides structure in which we can then go in depth into individual experience. i think one thing one does not want to do in teaching something as complex as the holocaust and other similar topics whether you talk about what occurred in darfur or wherever is to overwhelm with the magnitude of it. i think we look at a screen and we see the bodies as the footage that came out of from bougainville men and other camps and often our first response is to say, that is horrible and there's nothing i can do about it. i think what we really want to do is teach in a way that connects into the jewel and experience that makes you feel that by being a dedicated, involved citizen of the world you can make a differen
