tennessee being tennessee decide he would head off on a bicycle and the venture, but arthur miller has been very arthur miller like new england and strain, i signed up for something and do it. he toured up and an east coast collecting folklore that was later archived in washington. one of the things they were specifically looking for was to collect oral history from people i been alive during slavery. in the 1930s you could still make people aware at the very ends of the life you would live through slavery in the united states. that was really sort of one of the last chance if you're going to have it to collect first-person accounts of one of the sadder chapters of american history. and so later on john blair publisher start putting out a series of books on a state-by-state basis. the one for north carolina is called my folks don't want me to talk about slavery. there is one specifically virginia, one that's alabama, one that is mississippi, one that is on children, one that is only women. the second time we know arthur miller came to wilmington was in the early '90s. the last full-len

johnston again by name to command what was left of the army of tennessee. it was a deliberate slap in the face to jefferson davis, and while davis happily appointed lee to the top command he refused to appoint joe johnston to anything. instead writing that johnston was in his words deficient in enterprise, tardy in movement, defective in preparation, and singularly neglectful of the duty of preserving our means of supply and transportation. then he did it anyway. it was lee who convinced him that if nothing else the popular johnston who was very much loved by the soldiers, might convince some of those who had desserted to return to the colors. johnston's first instinct was to refuse the appointment. he suspected this was another of davis's tricks putting him back in command just so he would be the one to bear the historical burden of making the final surrender. but just as lee had talked davis into making the appointment he also convinced johnston to accept it. others told johnston that lee now hated davis as much as he did, which was not true, and that lee

charlie: what we know from what tennessee wanted this play to be? any sense of what he wrote about the --"the glass menagerie?" joe: we were working from the published version, what he envisioned what would be quaint now, a projection and things that were groundbreaking in 1945. it was not done that way. probably the actors could not figure it out. he wanted something in for 1945, all the characters to come out and say this is me, i am the narrator, you will see my sister and mother. i think it must have been startling in some way. again, i think that is what we were trying to capture, that extraordinary voice burst onto the scene as a young man. i think the greatest compliment that has been paid to the production is when people come back and say i heard things in the play i have never heard before. we have not changed a word. isn't that the sign of an extraordinary, a masterpiece? it's like a standard. ella fitzgerald can do it in you hear this, frank sinatra can do it and you hear this. they are sturdy and they take interpretation. sally: they inv
