the seward with advocating most of the evidence suggested seward with advocating to release the man relatively early on. most of the evidence linking kind of was making a show towards keeping the diplomats until the end when seward convinced him to release. that sort of version of the story misses the point a little bit. first of all, there is some evidence that lincoln was talking tough, but actually preparing the ground to movies to diplomats. there's a reminiscence from a newspaper man in washington at the time remembers lincoln coming to him and say that what you to start preparing your readers. we have to release these guys, but i can't get too ahead. start writing articles to let people know. the other thing is i think it kind of misses the point of how presidential decision-making is made. it's not a static thing. you don't say one person says don't release them, the other person says release them. opinions change as new pieces of information come in. look at the cuban missile crisis. in the early days, kennedy says let's bomb cuba. later on he says dell. cooler heads realized the block

it is what it is, you know. >> this is my second time here at seward.he last time i was here, oh my god. me and the boyfriend lived in the same cell. we had the matching comforters and the matching jackets and whatever. we had packages come in and always have the matching set or whatever. we were a little couple, you know what i'm saying? dysfunctional but it's all right. so i don't try as hard to stay out of prison like i should. which brings me back to places like this. >> though both sam and polando talk openly about their sexual experiences in prison, their outlooks are quite different. >> of course i'm not. oh, my god. i don't want to get into my partners. but you know. i'm not going to go without. please. >> let's see. i've had relationships before in jail that were long-standing. and you know, eventually they faded away or i left. i'm not concerned with sex, i'm concerned with my life. i'm at a stage in my life where i have to look outward. >> despite their successes, the alaska prison system is facing a crisis. most facilities like spring creek

second, it is not just the 7dr filings that want a reduction, it is also the neighbors on seward and the eureka valley neighborhood association which has also voiced opposition to this project. i will now devote the remaining time to the other dr filers. >> good afternoon, my name is nancy romamercy and i have been a home owner in the neighborhood for the last 13 years. the dl filers embrace positive change but believe the proposed scope of work at 4546 represents an extraordinary design *r dpuer tour from the design guidelines. why is this? i want to show an exhibit here on the projector. all right, so, if you take a look at the site plan, this is an aerial photo --. >> you need to speak in the microphone for the record to be complete. >> sorry. all right, this is an aerial photo but if you take a look at the site plan, the lot extends 116 feet in depth. and this is from this portion from this line here all the way to the front of the house, this actually includes a good portion of the alley, there's a private alley that runs behind here and this is a turn around space for vehicles

when i am directly confronted with it where it's so obviously in your face just recently i was in seward and i was at a store and this was last week i was in zurich and. i had gone there for tina turner's waiting and i've gone out to go shopping and i'm in a store name brand store and i say to the woman i'm by myself absolutely nobody else with me and i say to the woman i would like to see that bag on the shelf and she says no that when it's too expensive. how silly this is when she did it and she proceeded to tell me about the bag and how the bag was created for jennifer aniston it was done they did this and that you should want this one and i said no but i really want to see the black when they're the black women which i think it was you know liz or lou or alligator or something i'm not sure it was expensive and she said none and them well how does it make you feel good to see that well i wanted to laugh and i wanted to i wanted to create a pretty woman moment and go and come back and buy everything and say big mistake we'll take a look at some of the year's funniest moments on larry k

seward was even rumored to have nurse jefferson davis back to health during one of his big elements. so these friendships and the washington next year and help explain why davis and others were so is prized by the speed at which the session took called and the sadness in which they met, the end of the union or at least that they expected. there's a great scene at the end of all this be a jefferson davis saying goodbye in january 1861, holding up his things, walking out of the capital, weeping the entire way. it's not the picture rethink a jefferson davis. even jeb david sanders at this as a serious moment in a moment he was not necessarily expecting. what i want to leave you with tonight is this idea that washington was not the typical divisive and violent place that we think when we think of the coming of the civil war. in many ways it was the exception. it is the kind of place you could escape some of that divisiveness and as a result we cannot think about these people is causing a civil war or are being emblematic of how the civil war came. thank you. [applause] i'd love to take s
