one of the workshop participants wrote a story, a story without a plot. the celebration of language, medication and growing up in a rural countryside. i found it beautiful. he was perplexed by it. this is one particular story, he said. nothing happens in it. most of all it is not teaching us anything. now that i think back on it i am ashamed of my response to him. well, i said, i am sorry the story does not teach you how to build a house or how to get a job. my response was shaped by mainstream ideas, fashionable idea among those of us who make literature and who teach literature and promote literature. that to question the usefulness of literature is philistinism of the purest form. my response in its shameful snobbery was exactly sat. i was silencing him. i was telling him he had no standing on which to ask that question and had proved himself a listing philistine. i'm could tell he was unconvinced. in thinking about it i remembered a story from my childhood stories that had obvious moral lessons. stories we read in class and were made to answer questio

dead what kind of stories are we doing -- dean: what kind of stories are we doing? jack: i can make a complicated question. risking a lot when you give these articles out for free. arthur: -- dean: here to me is the risk. i keep going back to wanting to be read. the biggest risk is not the goal where your readers are area the biggest risk is to not to go to places where there are millions and millions of people who want to read. the biggest risk is to stay out of that world. that is why we felt we had to experiment with people like facebook and apple. jack: if the spirit is not making any money? -- if the experiment is not making good morning -- any money? arthur: that is not the case. if you do not risk knowing you were not fail, you will fail automatically. you know the famous case. umm --what was the? i am blessed without the next. the titanic fallacy. the titanic fallacy is the question, what was the fatal flaw of the titanic? some people will say you know, the captain trying to set a world's speed record. some people note they do not have enough lifeboats. some

the story appeared in "the new york times" and essentially betrayed the story as a group of sleazy teenageids who instead of providing quality ammunition they'd gone ahead and defrauded the government by providing faulty ammunition. what followed after this that this is where the plot thickens and here's what follows. you have swiss armed dealers politics, covert sabotage on the runway come ammunition explosion that killed 28 people, an unsolved murder of a federal indictment and that's just the short list. i'm going to read a little bit from the introductions introduction to the book and give you a flavor of that story and how i came across this story incredibly, at least according to the official events instead of supplying them bishop to the mountain of the cheapest possible rounds from the arms caches in the balkans. the story that appeared on "the new york times" in march of 2008 reported they had the audacity to scam the federal government supplying faulty admissions cheating the the army and endangering the lives of innocent afghan soldiers. the times article made them celebrities o

we are committed to running stories -- the real story and the story behind the story, precisely that'st trarks our audience. that's what people come to us for. the advertisers who come to us they come from that audience. the editorial independence of the company. it's not just the principle, it's the core of our mission core of the company. >> you say that but your two top editors resigned. i asked them to come on the program and they declined. they resigned because of you meddling with the newsroom. >> both max read and tommy craggs are men of considerable principle. i don't think it was a story worth resigning over. i don't think it was -- >> are you saying they were too extreme about this? >> i have valued their passion and commitment to independent journalism. it has to go hand in hand with trust from me in our editors to make judgment calls and in this particular instance the judgment call was wrong and i had it reversed. >> people who don't want to stay and work for the new gawker the slightly kinder gentler gawker, are you offering them buyouts, inviting them to leave? >> yes th

the story is ready. there are some people who will read it then. other people will be the later -- read it later in prints. it is not about the device. when i say device, i mean print as well. as you so eloquently stated some decades ago, we must be platform agnostic. go to where the people are. increasingly that means mobile. we are doing a fun test right now at "the new york times." do you want to talk about that? dean: i will. first, there is a myth of how ignorant we are of the history -- when i read the l.a. times if i had a big project that was going to run about orange county government -- orange county was the giant place next l.a. we were in a life-and-death cup edition with orange county. if i was going to run a story on orange county, i would go to the circulation director and say please tell me which day you will have the most papers distributed in orange county. if they said monday, i would run it on monday. to me, the question that i asked myself is -- i want a story to be read, i wanted to

the story evolves and the story changes and especially in the intelligence world. you get a little bit of information. you find out there is aluminum tube. then you find out that the cia diverted this aluminum tube from jordan, and that they are now examining this tube in our laboratory. you find out that the president is told there is high confidence that this tube is being used or is intended uranium centrifuge program. then you find out a few days or months later that there is a debate whether or not that's true. in other words stories unfold. and the real crime is not getting something wrong but sticking with your story when you know it is wrong. and that is happening more and more too. and that is another reason i'm very upset about they lied people died meme. we have three reports that looked at that thesis and says there is no evidence of pressure on analysts there is no evidence that anyone deliberately lied. and why americans want to believe they were deliberately lied to rather than the fact that their intelligence community failed them is a separate ques

part of the story. when the cherokees integers were removed, the elites but owned slaves were allowed to take the slaves. they've continued to live out west in oklahoma and it's a continuing news story which we come across from time to time and cover from time to time because now rather than being a huge disadvantage it can be a financial advantage because maybe now your tribe has a good casino independent there are questions about whether the african-american cherokees or the african-american creek skip to be classed as indians which legally they should be or not and there are different tribes devoted to exclude from their own midst. it's a complicated story. it's an ongoing story, and it's one of the reasons that i think of this as a story of 20 x. but flawed man. this is a story of human beings which i think is another reason that it's a story about democracy. we are all human. we are all sinners. we all mess up. then off to the extent that we all mess up. we all have different views and we'll argue

the embattled flag at 150 years old - it's "inside story".

we got a kick out of that story. also, i think one of the things that so respected about both of them as they were talking about their experiences was there real respect for achievement as to opposed to celebrity for its own sake. i think the pulitzer was meaningful naturally for her in something that was so clearly about achievement and something that her father lived to see her received and i know that gave it an extra level of meaning as well. he died unfortunately, before the movie came out, but lived to see that achievement. that was something that all those years later there was still a spark of pride in that achievement when we spoke about it, and when i told her about my friend and her cake. >> i noticed several folks in the audience. this is 1i don't know if you will answer, but are you planning. >> i choose to say no, at all. >> are you planning to attend your college reunion next year? >> oh my goodness, goodness, is there a georgetown person in this audience? the short answer is yes i would love to. i mis

let's talk about the greek story. angela merkel held up the prospects of limited debt relief for greece. she ruled out any haircuts on great -- greek debt. >> greece has been granted relief. private creditors were allowed debt cuts. because consider such measures again as their part of the mandate. once a hypothetical program has been discussed, we will discuss that question then. as we said, classic haircut and death forgiveness cannot happen in a currency union -- debt forgiveness cannot happen in a currency union. imagine if every country came about this way? we would enter a hopeless situation which would network. it is reflected in our wish that greece remains part of the euro. such a haircut is not possible. ryan: greek thanks reopened for the first time in three weeks. let's head to our correspondent who is on the ground outside a ranch of the national bank. controls are still in place right? >> that's right. if you look over here, people are going inside this branch of national bank of greece. they were giving

the man behind the infamous war of the world's broadcast i did a project in school and i knew the story that most of us know very well. it aired the night before halloween 1938 right before the outbreak of the war. at that time hitler and nazi germany were on the move is entering into a crisis such as the slovakia there were regular interruptions of the radio programming for alarming news bulletins with a feeling we go to war at any moment. so it had conditioned people to except these news bulletins. sova welles took a classic novel published 8098 so it was 40 years old and restructured it moved it to the east coast of united states from england and reconstructed the story. and tried and coffee very closely the kinds of announcements people were used to hearing around the diplomatic crisis. and you will see it on countless books that welles did the style so well and copy it so well there was mass panic. as a very new technology they had come to a trusted so when the radio said margins were invading will then they must have been. so they jumped in their cars and went you the hills to wra

now, i am going to tell you the story. so here's the story. reagan is in the middle of his career these eight years where he gives talks on behalf of general electric. sometimes the talks are in ge plants, very often they're lunchtime talks to the rotary club the chamber of commerce, the kiwanis you name it. he always called it the rubber chicken tour, and he was often introduced by people who had never met him before, and people who -- in the case of this particular story, the guy who's going to introduce him is someone who has never met ronald reagan, in fact, he's only seen the name in print. so he's a little bit uncertain is as to how the last name is pronounced. it's called reagan, and is it reagan or regan? all right. so in this story our introducer is puzzling over this question on the morning before he's going to give the introduction at noon, and he's getting kind of, you know, getting kind of anxious because he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of all of his friends and mispronounce the guest's name. so he's wandering a

that is sort of the story. sherman, the thing about sherman , and depending on when this actually bears on c-span, i may already have been through with this to her. i kind of hope so. i'm going next week to atlanta jackson mississippi, and birmingham. atlanta and jackson, mississippi, were both earned by sherman. i have to go and stand out in front of audiences in that town and tell them about this book. the reset -- reception there might not be as kind as the reception i'm getting from you. but history is what it is. my job is to tell the truth. here is what happened. yes, he burnt pieces of atlanta. it's a mess. i start this book, in my mind, with that scene in gone with the wind when scarlet o'hara is going through all the wounded the conflagration of atlanta. those special effects they did, 1939, it's pretty amazing. that's what i did short -- that's what i imagine a sherman is seeing as he is leaving atlanta. i did not steal margaret mitchell's idea but it is the history. it is what it is. that is where th

that is where the story begins. with all due respect to people in atlanta who have been sending me all this stuff about the battle of peachtree creek, lots of stuff about the battles in atlanta, that is not what the book is about. that is another book. i could not convince random house to do a five book trilogy [laughter] jeff shaara: it was too much. every book, i agonize over what to leave out. i start with sherman on november 16 1864, as he leaves atlanta and begins the march. the march itself is only half the story. when sherman gets to savannah it is not over. lee and grant are going at it in petersburg. the goal all along is not to capture savannah. it is fine, not really useful to the confederacy because of the blockades. it is a nice place to be, but sherman realizes as nice as that is, his military mission is not capturing towns. he wants to marched his army up to grant, linking them together in an overwhelming force. that is his goal. he begins the march northward. here, he does the same thing he did in ge
