t.r. loved him as president. he had burrows come with him out to yellowstone. they went hiking and camping together. he brought burrows on the trip out west. and when roosevelt would spend time in pine knot outside of charlottesville, it was only for his wife and kids and the only guest he would have in his country home was john burrows. they would go bird watching, and their correspondence is about what they are each seeing. there's no higher compliment than theodore roosevelt, he thought the best writing wasn't about hunting but it was about preservation. >> you had a very personal note in there about john burrows and you said that he loved walt whitman. and in a parenthetical, there's no evidence that they had a homosexual relationship. why to you need to write that? >> because walt whitman was gay and during the civil war, whitman literally adopted john burrows. burrows, you can tell by -- with the beard that when he was a young man, he had these extraordinary matinee idol looks and th

and these are all t.r. last one, roosevelt in hawaii if you grab a map -- if viewers look at a map of hawaii, look at the hawaiian islands, look to the west of hawaii, heading towards asia, midway, roosevelt saved all of that for bird sanctuaries. and not just that. when the japanese -- he's threatened war with japan when japan, for example, would try to kill birds on that island, japanese, he'd threaten war with japan. and an alaska chain where he saved seal herds, he heard japanese seal hunters went to american archipelago, rocks and killed american seals. and he was gearing up with war need be with japan over seals. so when i chose "the wilderness warrior" this wasn't just a policy. it's not like doing conservation and richard nixon or something. this was a whole other thing. you can't understand the essence of theodore roosevelt if you don't understand his relationship with darwin, with ornithology and with the big game and forestry of america. >> who introduced roosevelt to darwin? >> that's a good que

what a writer, t.r. was. i occasionally forget that. >> host: yeah. he was a historian really from his earliest days. but what stands out about that address? >> guest: he talks, he wrestles with what we were talking about, what is peace, after all? and he says, let it not be an excuse for tyranny. that sort of thing. >> host: he's also the first, as you said i think, the first real peace through strength figure in the nobel's history which -- >> guest: well, there have been just a handful really. >> host: yeah. >> guest: general marshall in 1953. >> host: another very interesting one which i wanted to talk about, and actually one i think you say was pretty -- at that time in europe, he was an extremely popular figure. >> guest: yes. >> host: and there wasn't much debate about that although his speech was an interesting speech too. >> guest: well, he won -- you and i think his great creation to peace was the defeat of nazis. [laughter] he didn't win for that. he won for the marshall plan. as he was the only one not to call it. he called it by its forma

. >> seconds after the planes collided in mid-air, t.r.orbin landed his plane on robert taylor's fra arm. >> severely damaged but mostly intact. grass and tree branches litter the inside. amateur video capture the second plane, a slightly larger plane about a mile away in a backyard involved in claims. ntsb investigators recovered the body of the passenger and pilot. the victims in the first plane have not been identified. the nearby red it was out in his yard around 4:00 this day afternoon when he noticed a plane hovering over histories. trees trees. >> this piper landed only 70 feet from the large tree line. it actually had to fly right through it to land safely. even bringing with him parts of the other plane. >> it the enginef engine had been running that usually means it was all. the surviving pilot was taken to mary washington hospital. he was conscious and talking at the scene, wanted to call his wife immediately. >> thanks. investigators want to know what happened to a man who died after being found along a road way. police said th

. >> t.r. reid, a former overseas bureau chief with "the washington post," toured the world's health care systems for his recent book, "the healing of america." >> the least efficient payers in the world are the american private insurance companies. they have administrative costs at 20% to 30%. that's a 30% tax on every dollar you spend on health care. britain is totally socialized medicine, administrative costs, 5%. canada is private doctors and public payers, 6% administrative costs. so it turns out, in health care, governments are doing this more efficiently than our private sector. >> one reason, says reid, private insurers in america spend more money on non-medical costs, like ads and reviewing claims to help them stay profitable. another way governments can be more efficient when they are footing the bill is by having a more coordinated approach to health care. for instance, the nhs rewards primary care doctors with bonuses for achieving certain measures of good health, like getting patie

the planning staff provided an overview of the department's t.r. -- tdr program based on the recommendations on the transit district plan, the recommended reclassification of 43 properties to the article leaven code, and the expansion of the new montgomery st. conservation district. this will include 26 additional properties. finally, the h-p added for properties to its program. these actions were to initiate process, and the department will present to the planning commission and to the agency next month before sending to the full board of supervisors for consideration. i believe what will be presented to you today is an overview of the district plan and some of that information will be included in the presentation to you. the h pc also adopted a survey and context statement for the oceanside neighborhood on sunset. this neighborhood was sponsored by san francisco beautiful and historic preservation fund committee. the general boundaries of the area were broadened to include the edge of golden gate park, 37th avenue, 45th avenue, and pacific. there was a focus on only the earliest properties

they are like the progressive party of 1912 and one-shot deals. 19% of the votes and the largest since t.r. himself in 1912. he runs again in 1996. 9% and he gives it up. >> there is another point to add too. obviously in the wake of television as a platform for big medias in electoral politics, it's much more difficult for candidates to mount successful independent matters and they think that is counterintuitive. on the other hand, the way that the media works is much more easily discredited. you could produce them out of the hard scrabble, anti-big business world of terre haute, indiana who could gather resources regionally and build upon them without being attacked outside of print media which is difficult today. any real contender today has to go up against big money and big media. that is difficult to maintain a strong edge. >> what do you believe c-span to be the only network and everyone can take part. you wouldn't have to worry about ads. >> we will go back to the comment about the endorsement of wilson. that was a moment you mentioned that began to attract african-americans to the

what a writer, t.r. was. i occasionally forget that. >> host: an history yap from the earliest days. what stands out.the address? >> guest: he wrestles with, what is peace, after install and he says, let it not be an excuse for tyranny. >> host: also the first -- said the first real peace through strength figure in the nobel's history, which is -- >> guest: general marshall in 1953. >> host: very interesting one, which i wanted to talk about. and actually one i think you say was pretty -- at that anytime europe he was extremely popular figure, and there wasn't much debate about that. although his speech was an interesting speech, too. >> guest: well, he won -- you and i think it's a great contribution to peace was defeating the nazis. he didn't win for that. he want for the marshall plan. the only one nod to call it. he called it the european recovery program. everybody else called it the marshall plan. that's what he won for them same day winston churchill was honored in stockholm with the literature prize b

. >> tr, not t.o., but t.r. i don't know.ofy. >> more than a little. >> is that an employable name? >> you wonder how he came to that realization. : all right, 75 today is average. and looking at temperatures generally average until we get to the end of the week and cooler weather rolls in, but nice. strong finish to the week. let's start with a live look outside. we're showing you the white house. this is our live weather cam. and temperatures are not bad if you are at the district and south. temperatures in the low 70s. pressure is still falling. 29.81 inches of mercury and the winds out of the south at 11. we eliminated that east rally component. that allowed temperatures to crawl higher than yesterday in some spots. here's a satellite picture, radar combined. you can pick out the frontal boundary. it stretches through ohio and back into arkansas and oklahoma. the front itself will not roll through until tomorrow evening. that's why we think this is going to be the best chance for showers and storms. in the meantime, there

t.r. which is the u.s. trade representative office that is organizing the t.v. and drafting the t.p. is beholden to these private corporate industry now i have to say that i don't think a lot of people even know that this is happening in the t.v. p. it seems like it's kind of out of the public radar i mean why do you think that is such a huge issue and like you're saying i mean it's definitely going to. infringe on our neutral internet. well we're working on it. i think that video that you showed actually dropped last week it was created by a public citizen i think such videos and graphics are really effective. in targeting the public in and hitting them in the heart and get them to understand that this is a very powerful trade agreement that is really starting democratic processes and starting you know what we find true in dear about our democratic process of making legislation an agreement so i think people should be in period. you know it just seems like this is a perfect example of corporate strong holding over nation states i mean we see this time and time

>>t.r. proven seen here in 2009 managed to clap -- crass land in a field in manage to survive. at the airport they say he flew his plane here for a by annual fly review. >> every couple of years licensed pilots have to go up with an instructor and demonstrate they still have the skills and capabilities to fly the airplane. >> about 4:00 the two planes flew into each other. a canadian team is investigating. >> the bonanza came apart and at least two pieces. >> those who know the pilots speculate the wing structure may have been a factor. >> if you have a low we and aircraft and you cannot see them, they fly up underneath you. >> a key element in the investigation is the one witness to the collision. tr proven is recovering. what he has to say it will be crucial to knowing how these two planes fly into each other. >> we are still learning more about the backgrounds of the two people killed in the crash. jay korff will have more at 6:00. clucks maryland is one of eight states being allowed to change the way the children are taught. they received a waiver for the note child left be

t.r. admits he knows nothing about police demonstration, 36 years old and coming on six years as a civil service commissioner in d.c., which is not exactly the limelight. at one point he thought he might have to spend his life writing books. cat help him. he had bought half his fortune in the dakotas. okay. roosevelt is a strict law-and-order republican and a holier than thou municipal reformer. really something of a prude. he believed that bridegrooms should be virgins on their wedding night. he was against striptease shows. he hated it receives attainment, and this man wants to wipe out boys and corruption in new york city which was then one of the most corrupt, lieutenant russ increment to august cities in the world. mostly yorkers but he was crazy. this is of major news to report trading. almost a dark comedy. one of uncompromising harvard-educated reformer into the brothels and gambling joints of gotham. stir slightly with tough irish cops and wait for explosion. manhattan in the 1890

had not granted china and t.r. we would be in worse shape us and china. also it is in the u.s. interest and russia's interest for russia to join the wto in the u.s. to benefit that will only take place after it is history following the observation this is a complex bilateral relationship. i a agree with the ambassador we can navigate a complex bilateral relationship for them to have a healthy bilateral economic commercial relationship. and still working our way and still working our way through foreign policy disagreements. i speak as the former cabinet official listening to individuals second-guessing the politics. you get used to. [laughter] is in russia's interest and u.s. businesses engaged in capitol hill they recognize the importance. it would be a shame if the most vocal with russia secession was punished with government procurement actions. said afp for the timing because i would say or predict just as in russia will be a member of the wto. the only question is timing. is it july or after? i know the business community is working very hard. i predicted this in parallel

. >> marcus you mentioned t.r. and of course the minds of many chinese of course is soft power. how do you get soft power whereas i think in a society such as our own it's somewhat more of, something that either generates or doesn't generate and it isn't something that you can manipulate. i am wondering how you, when you look at china and your correspondence with china, how you see that playing out? >> out of china gained soft power in the world? >> do you think there's a confusion in china between what good journalism is, propaganda, public relations, soft power? >> i mean, again i feel a little bit too removed to be authoritative on this but i'm quite sure that there are a range of different types of institutions and it is clear i was there last october and saw some different news organizations. some people really do understand what the role of the the media isn't understand what their responsibilities are and they know what the risks are as well. but it's like when the high-speed rail crash occurred last year, there was a report i think in "the wall street journal" that some
