and it is because sherman needed it. now, on either side of his march to the sea, he kept the rail lines either going to brunswick or over to south carolina, but he left the line from atlanta to savannah open with the turntable. >> interesting. i was just watching something on the history channel in terms of the magnitude of the rail system, starting at the american civil war, the north had something like 160,000 miles of rail, you know, lots and lots of miles; whereas, the south had 28 something. a huge disproportionate number of rails were in the north and the midwest compared to the south. yes, robert. >> was savannah built with old savannah gray bricks. can you tell us a little bit about that history? >> i don't know how they're made. >> i think that was loftily because it was verbally from generation and generation. nobody knows the exact form of those bricks today but they're the most sought-out bricks that we have. >> the savannah gray are the most sought after but, unfortunately, i didn't cover that for our book.

sherman had previously been to savannah, he lost savannah.there was no burning or looting or destruction. savannah was spared, and then sherman just left savannah about four months later with those 60,000 troops. matter of fact, a significant number of marriages occurred between savannah women and northerners, et. so we come up past the american civil war through the reconstruction period end anything 1876 -- ending in the 1876, and by the 1920s cotton had failed because of overgrowth and the lack of fertilization. and then in came the boll weevil. sosa van that was back to being poor again. by 1946 lay day astor described on her visit to savannah that savannah was a beautiful lady with a dirty face. and by that time and by the '40s and '50s, the old houses in down on the savannah were worth more dead than alive to get the bricks to build new houses. one city planner said atlanta was so poor that she was not able to destroy herself, unquote. but progress did make some hideous end roads in this putting highways through one part of the old town

he was one of those 20 ministers who met with sherman. he had also been enslaved and was able to hire about his time by his master. to appease mr. $50 a month so he could hire of his time and the butcher after the freedom and after this experience apparently dealing with the 40 acres taking this group out he was a state legislature. we read a lot about the africans who once they were free got into politics but that didn't last very long because after reconstruction a lot of that kind of disappeared. at any rate, just in a historic structure. 1864 -- i'm sorry from 1865 to 1963 is right twice freedom story because and march of 1963, reverend martin luther king came looking for one of those famous mass meetings and he had been driving around for two hours and finally found a meeting and said that dr. king practiced his into the famous i have a dream speech right here in the second half of the baptist church in savannah. an interview with creston russell from savannah georgia. mr. russell's the author of savannah a history of her people sinc

when ronald reagan stopped in force in the sherman antitrust. virtually all of our media now is part of a giant interconnected trans national corporate hydra. ben ben bag wrote a book called the meet the media monopoly that can fifteen years ago twenty years ago the first edition and every every year or so he's been updating it we've gone from hundreds of companies owning their media thousands of companies really newspapers all over the country to hundreds to dozens to now fewer than ten control most of the media that more than eighty or ninety percent of americans read watch or listen to it so if our politicians and our military and security institute institutions are concerned about hacktivists there's a really pretty straightforward and easy solution break up the big monopolies. particularly the media about by enforcing the sherman act and thousand competitors small media groups will last and america will again be the well informed citizen and ball of society that alexis de tocqueville marveled at almost two hundred years ago i visited the un

after the civil war, general william sherman declined to run for the presidency saying if nominated, i will not run. in the end, he avoided giving a sherman statement, giving his supporters that glimmer of hope. >> a san jose grocery store chain awarded scholarships to deserving students. the fundraising drive at bay area pueblo stores raised more than $270,000 for scholarships. this afternoon's event recognized about 100 scholarship winners and the generosity of donors to made it possible for the students to go to college. executives say with funding cuts, it's critical that students receive community support. >>> festivities got an early start today. volunteers spent this morning setting up a huge pink triangle overlooking the city. we explain the symbol's significance and how it's become a san francisco tradition. >> reporter: you can hear a symphony of hammers on the top of twin peeks this morning, the sound of 120 volunteers at work. >> quite striking what you see and very moving as well, the people give up their time to do this and to remember. >> reporter: the wind and fog did

when he stopped enforcing the sherman antitrust act we had this mergers and acquisition frenzy they refer to it as the emanate mania orders and acquisitions michael milken and all these guys and the result of that is that we have these basically oligarchy we have reason giant corporations that are keeping out small businesses that are preventing entrepreneurs and starting up that are stifling innovation in america and that have bought and they're buying our politicians and with the complicity of the supreme court we need a president mr obama to stand up and say no to the money party and when they when if you do or if any politician is frankly the american people are going to be with you because the american people get it the corrupting the corrupting influence of money in our government is is a horrible thing and it's time for it. just . for the good the bad of the various good tast equally ugly or good democratic representative carolyn maloney and senator bob menendez it is after the supreme court like corporate giant wal-mart get off scot free with discriminating against one half millio

the mythology the reagan years to try to justify his suspension of the sherman act the numbers don't bear that out we've seen a newsroom shrinking and basically disappearing into from two thousand section two thousand i knew papers which had twenty five percent of their jobs network news it's down fifty percent this report finds you have a number of reporters on the beat since the 1980's and also local radio news the all new station that are disappearing around the country and we see it as a wave of consolidation where the infotainment you talked about earlier it's more profitable and hence that's what plays good matt thanks so much for the great work you do in charge thanks so much for being with us here tonight abraham lincoln knew how important an informed electorate was to the survival are they of our nation and he famously said let the people know the facts and the country will be safe unfortunately since ronald reagan blew up the fairness doctrine people are no longer getting the facts of what our nation is facing so many challenges today. after the break a daily take on why go

of ninety six versus reagan's decision in one thousand nine hundred two to stop and force in the sherman act which led to the war mergers and acquisition mania which spilled over into the media right i mean they're all related the problem with the antitrust lack of enforcement for the last several decades is that we do have the f.c.c. also approving mergers there are two bodies of radio mergers like the merger that are before the commission now like the f.t. it's like the comcast n.b.c. merger that was approved earlier this year yes he has a separate mandate not only to ensure that there is competition in local media markets but that the local media is serving the public interest and it's been that twin failure to enforce both the competition laws and the public interest mandate to be i think he has that has really led to the situation right now unfortunately this report is not good enough on the media consultant consolidation issue either it suggests concentration doesn't necessarily lead to better news and we are welcoming that acknowledgment but it also says in something to asians for

this area down here, that is what sherman did to atlanta. but this is not why i'm talking about this. i am talking about this again because once again i am the story. apparently congressman weiner also engaged in facebook sex with a las vegas blackjack dealer, who claimed she told weiner, "i was so psyched to see you on "colbert." you were so funny, to which he says, "you watch it naked"? and she says, "ha ha, of course." oh, oh, oh, my god. oh, oh. oh, my god. oh.

sherman: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i've been here a long time and i've never come to this floor for the purpose of imposing an innocuous resolution. in fact, i voted for every piece of innocuous legislation and post office renaming in the last 15 years as far as i can remember. and this is innocuous legislation. first it starts with a sense of congress about our opinion as to what should or shouldn't be done. it has a sentence that purports to prevent the president from putting ground forces in libya, but in fact just states that that's our policy, it's certainly not designed to prohibit the president from doing so, it just says it's our opinion that he shouldn't. and, oh, by the way, in the defense authorization bill we have real legislation that prohibits putting ground forces in libya. it then goes on to ask that a number of questions be answered. and there are some who think, oh, that's imptant. those who think that the questions propounded in this resolution are actually going to get us useful information are insu
