sometime saturday night someone grabbed the 200 pound bronze statue. this is the statue that disappeared saturday night or sometime after that, dr. seuss' lorax. >> did you chop down this tree? >> i think he did it. >> i thought it was one of those pranks that people pull on television. i said, okay, you guys, where is it. >> it wasn't a prank. someone stole it from the la jolla backyard of the real dr. seuss, theodore geisel. >> this is the access road. >> the property manager showed the path the thieves took with the statue. it was at least a two-man job. >> they pushed it over the fence and dragged it down here. >> reporter: the bronze statue is irreplaceable. the mold was destroyed after this one was made. it sat here for 12 years under the tree out of the public's eye, something that makes him think the thieves have been here before. >> it's somebody who's been on the property. i don't know. >> reporter: bronze statues have been stolen before to be melted down. >> my only thing is we want it back. >> reporter: he said they won't ask any questions

here's a closer look of the statue. we're following it from manassas where they have stained and buffed the statue and made it what it's going look like when it's up there on florida avenue. we're following them to d.c. where they're going to set it up noft right across the street from the howard theatre. what is really exciting about this is they're calling this an encore. that's the name of the statue, on core. it is an encore because this is a renaissance for the area and a comeback for the howard theater just redone. it will be opening in a few weeks. 'll continue to follow this throughout the morning. i'm tracee wilkins. >> very cool. i can't wait to see it move. it looked like a neat statue. >>> good morning. the pollen counts have jumped and if you're an allergy suffer, you're no doubt waking up with a sinus headache. it's high for tree pollen, and it's mostly oak tree pollen and it's only going to climb in the next few days. might get some relief. a few showers coming in. right now we're in the 50s in much of th

the name of the statue is "freedom." today we remember the slaves who built this temple of temple of liberty, many of them never saw freedom themselves as we know. the same year the statue freedom was placed atop the dome of the capitol, the emancipation proclamation was signed. that proclamation was not an end of slavery in america. nor was it the end of discrimination and injustice in this land. but it was the beginning of the end of an evil institution and of a dark chapter of this nation's history. its people founded on liberty and justice for all deny that liberty and justice to so many for so long. but the memory of that grievous wrong is also a reminder that change is possible and that together we can continue to build a more perfect union. the fight for change could have no finer leader than our first speaker. john lewis. the general congressman from georgia wasn't alone as he fought for and won equal rights for americans. hundreds of thousands of men and women were beside him, ahead of him and behind him as he m

we had a great initiative last year with the dual status commander. i mentioned it in my opening statement. and we had an opportunity to test that in a way that we haven't done in the past this year in august with hurricane irene. i'm really proud to report as a team that the very first opportunity we had to employ dual status commanders, we did, and put four dual status commanders in position with their title ten deputies just as was the intent of congress and the council of governors. that program is alive and well. it made a lot of sense and now we're going to continue to grow that and look at ways to employ dual status commanders in both the regional and biological, chemical, nuclear event. big progress. i'm also working with the reserve forces with both the air force and the army to take advantage of the authorization that we now have to involuntary activation of the reserves to support civil authority. makes a tremendous sense. there's huge capacity in the reserves, distributed around the country and that was a great move that we are continuing

one of the wolf things about american politics, whether you are legal, illegal, in status or out of status you can walk through the doors of federal government, and knock on those doors, and find someone to talk to, and if you try hard enough, you will get to the cossak person or senate person sooner or later. we have brought on several occasion 2,000 irish undocumented to washington, d.c., held a holiday on the hill, and marched through the corridors on capitol hill, and we made our way there. that is what needs to be done. to my friend here tonight from scotland, i would urge him to get him to press the matter with the british government. many of the undocumented from ireland are from northern ireland. they are both irish citizens and u.k. citizens. we have tried to engage the u.k. government in pressing for this, and they have had no interest. there are thousands of undocumented citizens of the united kingdom in america, and the united kingdom government has no interest. i would urge you to press that. there are bilateral trade agreements and millions of people working. press the slew.

verery fabric of antiquity which he had helped revive, at once defining his artistic aims and his statusthe status of artists had grown during the 14th and 15th centuries, but now suddenly we find them compared with princes. in writers as different as castiglione, aretino, and vasari, we find not only their works, but their private lives the subject of serious consideration. popes tolerate their tantrums. rich men indulge their whims. in men like raphael, leonardo, and michelangelo, this is the moment when the idea of the artist becomes synonymous with genius. in raphael's transfiguration we see the revolution in painting that he had helped to create. the measured symmetr of 15th-century painting, controlled by strict perspective, had exploded into something infinitely more complex. colors had become more brilliant and various, glowing from out of shadow. gestures had become more expressive. the individuality of the figures had become dramatized by their inner emotions. this revolution, in artistic ambition as much as in painting, had been inspired by an artist who was an old man when ra
