st. paul, written in saint paul, so st. paul had this huge impact on his life up until he was probably about 40 in the hollywood years. so if you read its gerald stories, they are awash in st. paul imagery. as scott fitzgerald was born in the apartment. he was considered a luxury apartment back then befitting the daughter who was one of the richest men in st. paul. unfortunately he died pretty young and so the family was living off the legacy of money. but still, the mcclellan sport while respect it around the town of st. paul. its gerald took his first steps here. there were two sisters that died right before he was born. .. his father couldn't even keep the family together because of finances, but they still wanted to thrust them into this sinkhole society. so what do you do? you send into the most prestigious private school in st. paul, st. paul academy. you sink into dancing lessons just a couple blocks away on grand avenue. and so he was still rubbing shoulders of course with the elite of summit avenue, even though his folks weren't quite there. it's not that he was a poor boy. it was like, today we think of him as like a millionaire amongst billionaires. you don't fe

st. louis stars. you notice abilene made more money than a league team the st. louis stars. i keep stressing that. people wonder why would they play these exhibition games when you have a league. the reason why is one thing it was income. so, one other game i would like to talk about -- i usually talk about three or four games in every city. i try to pick some of the more interesting games to talk about. so one of the games i want to talk about -- i might mention the other games that i have in abilene were rain occupants and things like that. there's one in 1939 still trying to pull all the details to. there could be other times they came as late as 1955, usually when i go somewhere to speak there's an old baseball player in the audience that say hey they were here in 1952 and, you know, we played against them. so i'm always finding new information every where i go and that's quite exciting to me because i go instantly and start digging that information out and trying to see how -- what happened in the game. the next game i want to mention was rogan's last season in 1938, and the monarchs came down and they were going to play in junction city. this is what the newspaper wrote about rogan's name. rogan is the most famous one in negro baseball in this or any other day despite being a fiendish hitter and playing the outfield when he's not a pitcher. he has speed. his fadeaway was that of masterson and his control was almost perfect. major league batters who batted against him said he was as good as any pitcher they ever faced. this is what they are writing about rogan in his final season he's going back to all these places that the monarchs played and he's basically making that last round trip around the league. and that just kind of shows the popularity he had. when the monarchs showed up in junction city, things had changed in baseball. the golden era of town baseball had begun to die. at this particular point most teams had like college players and young guys and they would have these band johnson leagues and be all over kansas, these band johnson leagues would be. so one of the things the monarchs pretty much handled those band johnson league teams. so they started to book other negro league teams to play against the kansas city monarchs in cities throughout kansas. so in the later years starting maybe 1937, you start to see the league teams outside of kansas city and in communities like this. the monarchs came to town with four hall of famers, which is pretty unique. the name that is not shown was the manager, andy cooper who did not play. of course we know he's in the hall of fame. they picked up another guy named norman turkey stearns. he was with detroit. wilkinson always would try to get turkey. in fact he had him for a little bit in 1934 when they played the denver post-tournament. he was a fantastic player. he was a guy that used to talk to his bats. buck o'neal told me the story he always carried a 33 ounce and 34 ounce bat, and buck said that he was rooming with him and he said he went out and came back and turkey was in there and had the 34 and the 33 ounce bat and he carried his bats. he slept with his bats. took them to the room. and the monarchs had lost a game that day and he used the 33 bat and it went about this far from going over the fence and buck said he was talking to his bats and talking to the 33. i said i used you today i didn't hit the home run. if i had to use you the 34 ounce bat i would have hit that home run and we would have won the game. turkey when they interviewed him years later they asked him how many home runs did you hit. he said i have no idea because i only counted them when they won the ball game. so he was just a great player. he's on that team. of course, got bullet rogan in his final season. he's on that team. you have another guy called willard brown. brown was playing shortstop. actually he's playing third base in this particular game but played a lot of shortstop. he ended. being a great player. he went to the major leagues. most people know about jackie robinson being the first african-american in the major leagues. he was in the national league. two monarchs were the third and fourth. they signed the same day. they went to the st louis browns. willard brown was one of them. the other was hank thompson later played with the giants. they signed third and fourth african-american players and willard brown goes out and hits a home run on august 13th against newsome, hits a home run and he becomes the first black player to hit a home run in the major leagues. not jackie, not larry dobie, willard brown. willard brown is coming back to the monarchs and never gets back to the engage leagues. he played minor league baseball and had 400 home runs playing with the negro league teams. i think he had another couple of home runs playing in the minor league ball in the texas league, and he also holds the current record for the most home runs hit in the puerto rican winter league, 27 in the puerto rican winter league. this was a good ball player. they come to town with four negro leaguers. to show you how much ability was in the negro leagues they lost. they had all those hall of famers and they lost. i might also mention bibs

st. louis. st. louis has that problem.we just got back from new orleans for the national association event. it seems like everything takes lays there. you can see the young lack man hear people you talking about the same thing, the racial profiling, how they're not being cheated -- not being treated fairly. we are going to take one more call from james on the republican line. how are you doing today? it looks bad when eric holder spends tens of thousands of dollars to go someplace and i feel sorry for the family's son who got shot. ongoing investigation and everybody wants an answer today. everywhere you go, it takes time to get the evidence together and it looks awfully bad when he's in there with nothing but that family. what about the police officer and his family? he has been convicted already in the public eye. he has been convicted and he's going to have to move. his family is not safe and they don't even have the evidence altogether. racist, him look like a it absolutely makes it look like he went down there to join

st. george's cross, the st. andrew's cross flag. and eventually you'll see how the american flag came to be, including the betsy ross at the top right. the story of the betsy ross is an oral history passed down from betsy's family members. but there's no primary source documenting betsy ross creating that flag. but it is a well respected and fond symbol of american history. on this side of the room, behind me, you'll see very colorful flags that are a different shape than the american flag. these are french regimental flags. and as you may know, the french helped the continental army win the war with financial support, military support, and supplies. opposite the american flag wall, we have several flags depicting the different regiments of the army, so each regiment would design its own flag and be known by it. the white flag with the bees is in an early north carolina flag. on the far end, you'll see a navy blue flag with two women, and that's the new york third regiment flag. welcome to the lobe gallery, the last gallery at the m

st. joe's -- fair home, the big mutual fund by berkowitz owns 23% of sears and controls st. joe's. st. may have wanted in on the $400 million and chose not to get in. >> st. joe's, giant real estate. >> their 100 million piece would have been secured by real estate. they said in light of their investment criteria, they declined the opportunity to participate. the question on sears holding, you need financing going into the holiday. you need to have the confidence of your vendors. what about your customers? >> when you sell off all the good real estate, land's end was fabulous. it's done incredibly well. when you are a manager in stocks, a lot of the bad managers sell their strength and then have to keep the weakness. when you look at gary bolter's report it was devastating. quoting jim morson with the doors with the end. it's got to liquidate, losing $10 per share in value. that seems extreme to me. berkowitz is good. he did get hurt on the banks on the way down. >> i've got to be ready for a lot of this. between his 23% ownership and lampert's ownership of 43%. there's not a lot of sto

st. louis county police department in when is known as a collaborative reform effort. this partnership is being led by the c.o.p.s. office working closely with the st. louis county officials to conduct a comprehensive assessment. the st. louis county police chief has voluntarily accepted the collaborative reform process and has also asked that the c.o.p.s. office conduct an after action report on their response to recent demonstrations. and already with cooperation of st. louis county leaders we have identified priority area for intensive review and technical assistance, including racial profiling, stops, searches, and frisking, the handling of mass demonstrations by police officials and law enforcement training both at the police academy and at the continuing professional level. st. louis county administers training programs for officers throughout the area including members of the ferguson police department. it makes sense to include the county police department as part of our comprehensive approach to confronting the challenges that we have seen in the region. i want to be clear, this is not a stop gap or a short-term solution. it is a long-term strategy founded on community policing, that will provide a really do

st. louis county, of which ferguson is a part of. in addition to that, our state conference president came in from columbia, missouri, and our st. louis city branch president came in from stright now. what we're seeing is a classic move towards sue expression. that is, if you look at all the moves that were taken, when you start arresting reporters, it's about suppression. when you implement a no-fly zone so that news helicopters cannot come overhead and look down at what's going on, we are talking about suppression. we talk about the standard processes that are utilized to make sure that the truth does not get out. we've seen all those playing out in ferguson, missouri. when you walk into american icons like the mcdonald hamburger store and you arrest the reporter from "the washington post" and "the huffington post," while they're charging their computers to report on the story, when that's going on, you know suppression is under way. so, when we see what's happening with police officers that are actually defending other police officers, you know there's a problem. that's like saying to me, well, my taxes aren't being done right. i would say to the federal government, i

st. john's, st. joe's--she was one of these itinerant academics who teach western civ courses, the people who are horribly mistreated by the universities, and she got sick of it and she want to work for smithkline beecham, the pharmaceutical company, helping with their construction, which is a bit different from western civ, but she likes it. c-span: and how much did their professorial atmosphere have to do with what you're doing today, do you think? >> guest: well, somebody once wrote that it takes three generations to make a career, and i certainly think that's true in my case. my grandfather, who's dead obviously, was very interested in my writing and i--i wish he could have been alive to see the book because he was very proud of his writing--he wrote briefs; he was a lawyer--and he inculcated the reading and writing, and then my parents--my father's written a couple books, we had books around the house and so that was--that goes into one's upbringing. but my parents, being academics, write more s
