the name. it's rather un-american. >> the name? >> yeah. >> it's a good question. t referred to a uniquely american public health strategy for combating syphilis and gonorrhea. under napoleon france implemented what was called the french plan which was similar although you can read the first chapter, in some ways different from the american plan. in england in the '60s under queen victoria introduced the english plan. the distinctiveness about the american plan is that it put control in the hands of public health officials in theory as opposed to the police. in practice it didn't really work like that, but that was the unique characteristic of the american plan. >> over here. >> so this is a general question to get your thoughts on. so this story kind of reeks of general con spear schism from the highest to lowest levels. but when you go through your list of people who support it and how long it lasted, do you recognize this as a program is paved with good intentions and then once it hits the road, people start to use their biases, and it just turns into something t

the americans embalm in the -- the americans bombed and they defend the homeland. what do you notice about the picture? who is featured prominently? kids, right? when you try to understand why they win and the u.s. loses, specifically for the north vietnamese, this is a total war situation. for americans, vietnam is there only if you have to fight. for everyone else it is life as it was before. for the people of north vietnam , because of the state of war and because of the bombing, every man, woman and child starts contributing to the war effort in one way or another. so for a lot of the guys, they end up being drafted and sent out to fight. the women are being employed to feel the bomb craters or else, go to the south, not to fight, but to serve as service nurses, medics and so on and so forth. the kids end up being co-opted. so as part of your school curriculum, you would study math, history and all of that great stuff in the morning. in the afternoon you put out fires. you fill in bomb craters, you contribute to the rebuilding of bridges and so on and so forth.

these are kind of the big three on the american side. you recognize johnson in the middle, flanked on his left by mcnamara, the secretary of defense, than on his right, dean ross gets, the secretary of state. those are the architects of the war in vietnam. those are the individuals who will effectively be blamed, we should say, for getting the u.s. involved in the vietnam war. but again, as we talked about on tuesday, it is unfair to pin all of this on johnson. his predecessors, kennedy, eisenhower, before him really made consequential decisions. which i would argue made it almost impossible for johnson to just avoid an increased american commitment in vietnam. so technically, american combat troops enter vietnam under johnson's watch. but in a way, that is the logical culmination to a process 1948, motion, starting in 1949, 1950 when the u.s. starts helping the french fight their own war, the so-called first indochina war. speaking of the motivations, his whole domino theory, this whole issue of credibility, this whole idea that if we do

here we see the first transportation of american troops. it is a small party led by general pershing. this is them leaving the united states at the end of may and heading first to england and then to france. pershing had just been appointed as the commander of the american expeditionary forces. it was a token party that went with him and his staff officers. to the left of him is i believe george c marshall. i guess they had gone to england and they are arriving at a major port. guillaume: and some landed north of france. they landed at all the main portes. here is the group getting introduced to the french generals. mitchell: pershing is 57 years old at this time. he had a pretty illustrious career including a couple of stints in the philippines after the french american war. where is st. nazar? guillaume: it is one of the main ports where the troops will arrive. from there heading into inland areas, there were a lot of american bases for supplies where they had goods and supplies, all of the logistic organizations there. that was a very imp

mihiel was a major success for the americans. they overtook all of their objectives on the first today. it had the germans on the run. as you pointed out, the battle continued for another four days as more of a cleanup. guillaume: it was around 15,000 prisoners captured. the germans were surrounded in their own pocket of the landscape. they were heavy trenches. there are still very deep ones that were there that were made. mitchell: where did the germans fall back to? guillaume: they had to fortify the line called the mihiel line. it was 45 miles away from the frontline. it was all most until the end of the war because the frontline stabilized september 16, and the major movement for the americans would be to move there. mitchell: by the 13th, the second day of the battle, it was mostly in american hands. guillaume: you can see how the germans are surrounded. it is great to see the landscape 100 years ago. mitchell: right, it does not look much different today. guillaume: exactly. the enemy can see you from the distance here. mitc

the term american plan goes back to the late 19th century . it referred to a uniquely american public health strategy for combating syphilis and gonorrhea. under napoleon,france implemented the french plan . which was similar although in the first chapter but in some ways different from the american plan. in england in the 1860s, the victorians introduced the english plan and the american plan was a way of setting itself apart. the distinctiveness was to put control in the hands of public health officials as opposed to the police. in practice it didn't work but that was the unique characteristic of the american plan. >> this is a general question. this story reeks of general conspiracies him from the highest level to the lowest level but when you go through your list of people who reported and how long it lasted, do you recognize this as a program that was paved with good intentions and then once it hits the road, people start to use their biases and it turns into something it wasn't meant to be? do you recognize this as being, wasn't executed

american exports are on the rise. this is a strong economy and leadership on improving our trade relations for american jobs andworkers. >> when do you expect them to announce another solid trade deal. will you be able to announce them before the midterm elections. >> we are encouraged about the free trade agreement. the u.s. trade representative continues to believe there is a possibility before we get to labor day we might have a reformed nafta agreement. those details are still being worked out. look, the president came into this administration with the belief that for too long americans, our economy, our workers are being taken advantage of by trade deals. whether it's renegotiating with south korea or renegotiating nafta or resetting the balance in our relationship with the european union or resetting the imbalance lancimbalance with che that strong leadership is contributing the moment -- momentum. >> will you have a relationship with mexico? >> i hope to reach an agreement. president trump will stay focused on t

french including the african-american division, the 93rd. guillaume: here are troops already. this looks like the chans elysee. they parade on the main avenue of paris. now we are at the lafayette grave, east of paris. mitchell: this was a famous scene and the immortal words , "lafayette we are here" has been repeated over and over. it is part of the lore of the americans saying we are repaying you,less i at, -- repaying lafayette for your help during our american revolution. guillaume: you see colonel stanton. mitchell: although it is often attributed to pershing, he did not say it. guillaume: nowadays, it looks quite similar. it is a private cemetery. few people go there. killed during the french revolution by the guillotine, and they were buried there, which is why he's buried close by. mitchell: can you translate this for us? they are on their way to the front, is that what it says? guillaume: yes, it says american troops on their way to the front. we see soldiers leaving the main towns and heading to the north and east of france as the

he doesn't dare tell the american people. that's why it's our job in the minority since the republican side by and large have shown little spine on this issue, it's our job to let the american people know the peril their health care is in. if anyone doesn't believe that president trump is still intent on tearing down our health care system, just look at what the administration did yesterday. the president decimated funding that helps people sign up for health insurance, cutting it to one-sixth of what it was two years ago. the funding is used to help people navigate the complex area of health care and select a plan for their family. trump mandated that it be directed into the junk insurance plans that don't cover basic essential health care. yesterday's news should remind us that president trump remains ruthlessly committed to tearing down our health care system. he won't admit it at our rallies, he won't dare talk about it. but that is probably the most important thing he is doing in terms of the effect on the american people

they were the only american division to complete training. after the decision had received its orders they went through final training exercises. general percy visited the division to view the exercises. the way that general percy conducted himself made a great impression on marshall. marshall reflected. surrendering the direct control of his troops, which he has invidiously maintained in the face of repeated endeavors, to repeat the formation of an american army, he released them to be scattered over 400 miles up front, temporarily jeopardizing his own, and even american prestige, he laid all his cards on the table. marshall also took note on praise his demeanor, despite the circumstances he faced, saying in the midst of profound depression, irradiated determination and the will to win. his mentor and expression, more than his speech, fire the officers of the first division, with a determination to overcome the enemy whenever he was encountered. the first division completed its move to the front on april 26. neither the first division and its

so, go ahead. -->> just like vietnam, the american people come also like the of military come the american people don't want to hear the word stalemate on the news. they wanted to be over with because their sons and daughters are going over there. they want them to come back. so they don't want to hear stalemate. they want to hear we have one or met what we accomplished and now are coming home. prof. faulker: or it is not worth it, we are leaving. that's right. the one thing the american public won't stand is stalemate, but yet, isn't that where we stood? aren't we in the process of standing there now? now, we have taken the gloves off apparently with our new strategy, right? >> we are in a stalemate now, but i don't have the means to do what you want me to do. with what you have set up now, i can't win. so you either need to take the gloves offered to something else to change the dynamics to break out of stalemate. prof. faulker: how is the taliban doing today, by the way? >> thursday is an effort for peace talks again earlier this week, that will show some of their will for their support

the average american woman. so this matters to the congressional black caucus. on the affordable care act we have perhaps the most astonishing of judge kavanaugh's decisions. he hasn't said it's unconstitutional, it's pretty hard to say at the circuit court level. but he has said something that's never been said before in american jurisprudence. that a president may decline to the ce a law, even after supreme court has said -- sorry, has said yes, that the law or statute is constitutional. understand what this means. the affordable health care act has been found to be constitutional. yes, there's still attempts in this house to overturn it. but it stands and it's so popular that while brett kavanaugh is being discussed in the senate during the month of august, senate democrats are going to be talking about the affordable health care act because it has become one of the most popular laws in the united states today. even though the republicans have done all they could to ripple it. brett kavanaugh, judge the ugh, h

the american people know that the men and women of ice are american heroes. u are doing an important job, often a dangerous job and you are doing it for them. they have both the support and the respect and the resources that you deserve to do the job you have been called to do. the american people support you and they know how important your mission is. press,ave seen in the the heroes of ice are being attacked and demon i'd -- demonized for the work you do at an unprecedented rate in recent weeks. ice has been targeted with protests across the country in the public square and social media and for many of you, at your homes. #abolishice has taken its place on the internet. ban, no wachant, no at no border at all protests around the country. ice officers and leadership have had personal information shared on social media and threats to them and their families have followed. let me be clear, the american people have every right to engage in peaceful protest, but these threats against ice officers and their families must stop. they must stop now. the sad fact is

in the american embassy and saigon, the spanking new american embassy saigon. any problem here? >> it is supposed to be a bastion of safety and security. prof. faulker: what do we say an embassy is? they did not get into the building, though there is debate back and fourth, but you are getting these guys in the center of the american embassy in saigon. any problem with that? >> you are winning under a normal program and know your own embassy is attacked. prof. faulker: how about that picture on the far right? how about that picture on the far right? >> they say they are to help the people in the south, but the context of this picture, we don't know what is happening. we have a person whose arms are bound being shot execution style on the street. when at that point, he is not threat. prof. faulker: the police chief of saigon. >> correct. prof. faulker: if you are seeing these images on your television, what you thinking? >> what is going on. prof. faulker: we are absolutely losing. what is a credibility gap? >> a leadership cap. prof. faulker: what is the problem with the credibil

and many americans may think, well, that was a decision made by congress, made by the president. not so. that disastrous decision, which is undermining american democracy, came about by a 5-4 vote of the united states supreme court in the citizens united case. that is what a supreme court decision can do. it can undermine american democracy and create a situation where the very wealthiest people in this country can buy politicians and influence legislation. mr. president, several years ago the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the affordable care act, but the court also ruled that the medicaid expansion, as part of the affordable care act, had to be optional for states. i'm on the health, education, labor committee that helped write that bill, and i can tell you, there was almost no discussion beneficiary i don't recall any discussion -- there was almost no discussion, i don't recall any discussion -- about whether that legislation would apply -- elements that have legislation would apply to every state in this country. but the supreme court ruled that that was not the

within caustic the american planners were outraged in their british comrades shared that feeling. ssacks reddish commander lieutenant general morgan risking his army career acted to do the right thing by sharing the plan with his country ally and morgan is in a team of three american officers caring the overlord plan to catch a transatlantic cop from scotland to washington and the team slept out of london in the night board and unscheduled train called the ghost train. although seriously delayed by atlantic whether they got up there and no one was fine because of the big storm so try to think about three officers sitting there thinking that coffee trying to get out of the airport with the greatest secret that they knew of sitting there in a briefcase between their legs. the eventually did get there and they got there as they reported back in the time. stimson's ranc reached canada to become the first of three conditions that would rely on a few hours that ultimately lead fdr to take up the overlord advocacy. as roosevelt and hopkins were discussing the papers radio operators on his

army film documents the american operation. announcer: on september 12, 1918, under the command of general john j pershing, that u.s. army launched the first independent offense of of world war i. >> this was formed in september of 1914. -- mitchell: it is september 1918. the americans are about to undertake the first independent action against the enemies there because that was formed in september of 1914. is that correct? guillaume: that is correct. the germans had a big offensive and surrounded the town. mitchell: there is pershing at his headquarters. this would have been in leenee. this was a surprise attack against the germans who were vacating the area. guillaume: we see a bulge around this town of st mihiel which is west of that map. you see the landscape. part of the offense of his starting from the big plain and had to reach plateaus that you can see in the distance. this was for five heavy days. mitchell: i think that was a naval railway gun. guillaume: exactly, that is. that is probably samyiel already. mitchell: the

with regard to that charge do you think the american side is like. to take up on all for because i'm sure try to trump actually said that it was a good idea but do you think the bureaucracy is likely to welcome something like that well i'm sure the bureaucracy won't welcome it and i think from an american point of view the temptation is to say well we'll go investigate your. folks but you cannot come here and investigate ours so i suspect it will bog down over reciprocity with whether in fact. such an investigation would likely produce anything i'm i'm not so sure i think that from what i can gather i've seen the indictment but i haven't seen it in the material that underpins it but i have talked to some of the people who are involved in the process and i think they have evidence that's pretty conclusive you know so if you had a tape of a phone conversation between a and b. who say we have got that the e-mails from the d.n.c. headquarters and we are proposing to release them on this schedule and then somebody else says no don't use that schedule here'

he calls the fourth of july the american passover. he calls the declaration, the american rainbow. he says to the audience, cling to this, cling to this ring bolt. he's put in the audience at ease , he's letting them feel the joy and the power and the beauty of the fourth of july, the declaration. which by the way had just been read for his speech. somebody had read it. i almost said the whole bloodied thing. the whole blood thing. sorry peter. but then, about five or six pages into it, of course the pronouns change. right? and he starts gulping down that you program you, your, fourth of july is yours not mine. you may rejoice, i must mourn, it is your holiday. i once counted the and i quit in the 50s. is just amazing. is yours, not mine. her first of the first principles. all of them i know it depends on how we count them. but, natural rights, equality, the right of revolution and popular sovereignty. those of the first -- for first principles. frederick douglass calls him the saving principles. cling to your saving principles he said. and then he, then the transition comes with th

showingfrench soldiers the americans how to fight. fake one.ve a they are getting used to what will be the landscape. mitchell: the americans were not issued their helmets but they all had the montana p cat that -- peak hat which dates from the spanish-american war. . americans were concerned, especially general pershing about making physical fitness. they went through all kinds of routines like you see here in the film back in the u.s. and over here in france. fit andyou had to be strong to be able to fight in this type of war. pershing was pushing for open behind thet sting trenches but leaving them and heading forward. you had to have stigma -- stamina. guillaume: we'll have all of the supplies heading to the front in the sentence said americans entering in line for the first time. after training for months, a few lines away from the front, american troops see action for the first time. the first division to arrive with a first, second, 22nd and 42nd among the first ones. they were the ones to see action first. in the lorraine's sec

negotiate with the americans the trunk ministration doesn't want to negotiate. it will not immediately change iran's policy in the region but that's because we have two competing competing false narratives that are both using sanctions. the us false narrative which is the trump administration one of those we are going to change the regime in iran and mohamed ronnie's absolutely right that is the trump instructions goal but the false narrative from the iranian hardliner side is is to use the sanctions to tell the iranian people all these economic problems you have all these social issues you have all these concerns about the environment that you have that you've had for years it's all created by the foreign enemies it's all created by the americans or the british or persian language channels and of course it's not it's actually iranian people who have these concerns so you've got the iranian people who don't necessarily want the overthrow of the system but they want an accountable system that addresses their concerns being caught in between washington and the isl

>> [applause] the leadership: conference on civil rights, alliance for justice, and people for the american way. thank you all for joining us. we have invited these legal experts to speak today, because what we are here to discuss isn't political. it is about the constitutional duty of the united states senate to advise and consent on the most important issues that ever comes before us, a nomination of a supreme court justice. in order to fulfill that duty, the senate must have the records spanning judge kavanaugh's career as a public servant, including his time as staff secretary for the bush administration. just this morning, senator feinstein released a letter to the national archives, signed by all members of the senate judiciary committee, including longtime member dick durbin. thank you. requesting the full set of documents. senator feinstein's leadership on this issue has been extraordinary. before we continue, i want to how clear for just a sec aggressive the obstruction is. as you know, breaking all historical precedent, chairman grassley has made it partisan request to the nationa

we of the americans. outhey are ok with hanging in the mountains until we are gone. >> it's like vietnam, because the public will start asking the same questions again of the administration. why are we there and what are we accomplishing? >> [indiscernible] hope that is going well. it is much more vested when you have something to lose. prof. faulker: we will talk more about that in the next class. great. so, go ahead. just like vietnam, the come also like the of military come the american people don't want to hear the word stalemate on the news. they wanted to be over with because their sons and daughters are going over there. they don't want here stalemate. they want to hear we have one or met what we accomplished and now are coming home. prof. faulker: that's right. that's it. the one thing the american public long-standing stalemate, but yet, isn't that where we stood? aren't we in the process of standing there now? we have taken the gloves off apparently with her new strategy, right? >> we are in a st

productive as the american economy that couldn't go on this way. 60 % of americans getting five % of the wealth, wages flat, credit available but not widely available, not available to everyone. the economy needed to find a way for americans to be more a wide set of consumers. we are back to the point to think of the great depression and what happened. i'm certain you guys could figure out the answer at this point or the answer that i propose. the answer that makes sense in the history of consumer culture. the great depression was a crisis of abundance. we, the united states had figured out how to grow to make a tremendous amount, an array of things that we could manage -- we could make much of and figure out how to market these goods. figured out how to get them to market and new forms of retail, new kinds of advertising. we figured out how to market these goods, the one thing we had not figured out, how to provide americans with the means with which to buy all of this stuff? figure out how to make it or get it to market, but we did not figure out how to get the means to purchase al

to be part of the american community. an american community that would each the future and, with generation, would form its own understandings of what it meant to be part of that community. is saying, and interestingly enough, he is not just talking about the united states. is talking about global, the global's -- he is talking about global, the global situation. global,umstances of white supremacy that did not just hold in the united states, but all over the world. and this is the problem that would have to be solved. and he was hopeful that he could be done -- that it could be done. bois, like many african-american leaders, look to the declaration of independence as part of a promise that it might be done. all of the things that was mentioned about modernity, the new things that were coming along, the world becoming smaller, changes in store, the great war that changed the world forever, disrupted the order in europe, ended at disrupting the order all over the world, was a catalyst in a number of ways for the change. aft

the american pool and host television are being kept at quite a distance. now posing with the 92-year-old monarch, the longest serving monarch in british history. queen elizabeth ii, beloved by her people and around the world. she's met every leader. and we can hear now the national anthem played by the british military band. let's listen. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> and as we've heard the anthem, the guard, the troops of the household division arrayed there at windsor castle. the queen has met every foreign leader, every head of state, since 1952, the coronation, the death of her father. she is very smart, very well-versed in world affairs but extremely observant to the caution that there never be a public statement by her of anything political. she would certainly not opine on the controversy now going on some 30 miles away in london, where masses of people are protesting against the american president. unprecedented, to have this kind of hostility between the british people and the american leader. they will be going inside for tea. there will be no coverage inside. a sti

the american people should have their eyes wide open to the stakes. president trump's own justice department is currently arguing in court that those protections are unconstitutional. i like president trump at one of his rallies to tell the people at the rally he is taking away their protections when they have someone with a pre-existing condition and their family. he wouldn't dare, but that is what is legal department in hhs injustice is doing. the president doesn't tell people what he's doing. he whispers them with you. he doesn't dare tell the american people and that's why it's our job in the minorities , it's our job to that the american people know the peril they are in and the healthcare is in. if anyone doesn't believe that president trump is still intent on tearing down our healthcare system, just look at what the administration did yesterday. the president decimated funding that helps people sign up for health insurance. they cut it to one sixth of what it was two years ago. the funding is used to help people navigate the complex landscape o

during that period the number of americans killed was more than 50,000. in the final three months, the number of u.s. soldiers killed was 17,000 per month, and rose from 1000 per week to 2000 paris, and reached a peak of 6,000 during the first week of october as a result of the offensive. marshall described the expectations for casualties during the offensive during this way. about 50,000 casualties was the percentage normally to be expected and hospitalization was prepared accordingly. nevertheless, if we suffered that many casualties during the brief period, the american people not accustomed to such huge payment of human life was would have seized upon the criticism of any allied official to condemn our commander in chief. marshall understood that as a casually's increased, public support for war decreased. he kept that in the forefront of his mind and president roosevelt during world war two and why his primary objective during the conflict was to end the war as quickly as possible with the smallest number of casualties. marshall also became keenly awa

this reckless spending fails the american people. they expect congress to spend their hard-earned tax dollars in a fiscally responsible manner. congress can no longer kick the can down the road and saddle future generations with insurmountable debt and economic consequences. i'm very proud mr. chairman of this committee's work to get her nation back on the strong fiscal path. last year this committee tasked with a sustainable budget would have balanced the budget within 10 years. it was also mentioned on enacting comprehensive tax reform that has revitalized our economy. now we are building upon that success in the budget for bright american future which continues to promote progrowth policies that create new jobs put more money back into the pockets of hard-working americans. as a former small business owner of seeing first-hand how federal regulations threaten jobs and hurt small businesses. her touch it reduces burdensome regulations to stimulate further economic growth. to balance this budget within nine years it achieves $142 bil

i'm going to talk directly to the american people, because sometimes people say what to the american people care about who is on the court? well, it is the court that makes the decisions and has made the decisions in the last few decades about who you can marry, about where you can work, about if you can vote, and in the case of my grandfather, who worked 1500 feet underground in the maintenance like him if his workplace would be safe. i would not be here without those kind of course rulings. that's what this is about. when you look at this nominee, judge kavanaugh, you see someone who has not upheld those rights so many times did you look at his rulings on healthcare that my colleagues have discussed. you look at his rulings on reproductive rights. you look at his rulings on consumer issues. those people that thought it was wrong when wall street ran amok and ran over all of us and took the cars and drove off, well, this judge ruled that the consumer, , the consumer financl protection bureau that was set up to protect you, that that was unconstitutional. that's what he said. and for

north vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the united states. only americans do that. >> the term "silent majority" clicked with middle america because they were never represented on television, and they didn't feel they were represented in washington and didn't really have a voice. >> president nixon proudly displayed 52,000 telegrams from persons who supported him. >> it's time for the great silent majority just to stand up and be counted. >> at that point he went to 68% approval. >> it gave him the room he needed to maneuver. >> good evening, my fellow americans. tonight american and south vietnamese units will attack the headquarters for the entire communist military operation in south vietnam. this is not an invasion of cambodia. >> nixon's conviction is that what you've got to do is cut off the supplies that the north vietnamese are funneling into the south to the viet cong, and the way to do it is to take out the ho chi minh trail, the route they're using through cambodia. >> they don't quite realize that cambodia is its own country, in fact a country t

that's what the american people want. they gave everything they had if their spouse, their child, their relativech was sick and needed a lot of money to be cured. that's why we have insurance and the governments involved like social security and medicare and medicaid. the heritage foundation in so many republicans who dance to their tune. they don't wantt that. they haveve pushed forward judge kavanaugh from the court for theirth mission. the list of 25 that president trump select good was that it is approved by this very heritage foundation. the heritage foundation would notl give its stamp of approval to anyone who would maintain or grow our health care law, particularly protections for americans with preexisting conditions. the american people deserve to know what judge kavanaugh stands. this is a serious issue. this is not something we a can allow a nominate to hide behind following existing law. we need to deal with the governments ability to be involved with people's health care company to help it be funded with the

what is the american role in the world? does the american -- does the united states, more specific, does the united states have a role in the world as it did for much of the cold war, at least in the sort of nods to the u.s. stands for certain values, democracy, whatever it is, and tries to encourage that. or, you know, in our present situation, we definitely have a president who is questioning that, right? that the u.s. role in the world may not be as expansive in those ways of sort of introducing principles, whether we do it right or not is a whole other issue, i understand, but that we sort of hold that up. i think vietnam began to make us question that we really had a right to do that. after the war, the u.s. continued to support nato and all the other organizations as it had so i wonder if we're at another juncture where we're thinking about what is the u.s. role in the world anyway and what should it be so a legacy from '68 that way. >> i'm going to -- i don't know if this will answer your question, paul, but i'm goin

germany really was the first foreign automaker to break into the american market with the volkswagen beetle. reliablenest, transportation. american automaker started to realize there was a market for smaller cars. in the 1960's, ford introduces introduces chevrolet the car you see behind me. no question it was the most revolutionary. ford and chrysler built scaled-down versions of full-size cars. chevrolet went back to the drawing board. an air cooled engine like the volkswagen. less expensive. you don't need the radiator or water. there's less production. it also makes the car tend to handle differently on the road with the weight in the front. corvair did not have as much weight up front. it handled differently. it would cause people to oversteer. perhaps more than you intended. int could be very dangerous a high-speed situation. order,, in fairly short there were a number of accidents involving the corvair. passed away in an accident in the corvair. ford and general motors realized there was an issue there. the public started to catch on. and ralph nader, who is presidential a cand

meddling because you know the american media very good at playing out of the history of. push comes to shop and one of those cases reach the courtroom they tend to fall apart so i think this is what president putin said just being a former student of law he's actually trying to. that case turned that case towards the legal proceedings and i want to continue speaking with you but we do have on the line now our correspondent in the upper trend who has been in health for us now what are the presidents have to say. jacqueline hello again first of all i want to tell you that right now i'm standing just meters away where and donald trump were giving their press conference and i'll be glad to share all the details with you it's a bit difficult to digest everything right now but let me just go through the first part of the press conference both leaders actually agree that this is the time to stop this collapsing of bilateral relations between russia and the u.s. so just take a moment to listen to what both leaders said about that. what do you to everyone the by literally relation

it is important to realize the definition of what an american car is. it evolves over time just as vehicles have evolved over time. that's something that we try to talk about here at the henry ford museum of american innovation. yes, this is about cars, but it's not just about the cars themselves and the technology, it's more about cars and social forces. i like to say we tell to stories in this exhibit. story we tell you is how the car has evolved over the last 120 years and changed to meet our needs. cars have gotten larger, faster, more colorful, more luxurious, you name it. but we are also trying to tell the story of how we have changed to meet the cars' needs. because we have changed where we live, how we live, how we work, where we eat. and this is all impacted in some way by the automobile. so, if you come here, i hope you get some of those questions, if not answered, at least planted in your mind as food for further thought and further discussion. we looked at just a few of the cars in our collection, but i think they represent a real cross-secti

but he knew the americans were in the running to . a u.s. newsreel in july one thousand nine hundred fifty seven showed how the first u.s. satellite would wizard around the globe. a satellite is ready. the satellite was good to go then guard was supposed to open the door to space for all humanity. that is how man would take his first ride of the space. in the sky. even life magazine was absolutely sure the u.s. would get to the finish line first. there was a little bit of arrogance you know certainly in the general public before sport medicare kind of been resting easy and feeling our well we were always first we were the first to notice you know you read the kind of press and books in government press releases about grand garden one hundred fifty six fifty seven it was just assumed that it would be the first i don't even sort of take account of the fact that that might not be the first. on july seventh eisenhower announced that the u.s. satellite would be launched in the coming year. and it seemed absolutely certain that no one would put up
