in taking what is a critical topic as part of the commemorative activities of world war i and to public. it seems to me that the experience of the american response to world war i represents something of the very essence of the american experiment. who could not argue that the core values of america were expressed by the belgian relief efforts during world war i? they said they had been organized by hoover for the commission of release of belgium. grassroots to response of national crisis in belgium and france. starvation due to the ravages of war. it seems to me that it is expressive of so many of the core values that seem to claim us as we think about this american experiment. through the efforts of hoover and the commission, of the 9 million people, each day were fed in belgium and north france. the opportunity to discuss contemporary parallels as it relates to need certainly are tempting. the impact of herbert hoover has been felt throughout the globe. i was delighted that dr. nash relayed the history of hoover to me earlier and spending time in australia. so there you go. maybe his roots are not just about american values. tonight,

when i say "my history" i mean both the vietnamese experiences but also the american experiences becausew up with both. and i wanted the novel to be an membering this history.werew the >> rose: why this title? >> well, the narrator of the novel, the protagonist is a man who sees every issue from both sides as we learn from the first line of the book. he's a communist spy in the south vietnamese army, educated in the united states. so he's able to sympathize with everybody. and, of course, as a communist, he's also potentially labeled as a stiezer. so that word has two meanings for the narrator. and so the theme of sympathy, of what it means to be able to not only sympathize with the people we love and we care for, but to sympathize with our enemies, that's what he struggles with throughout his entire story. >> rose: "patriots day" is a new film from writer-director peter berg. it depicts the 2013 bombing of the boston marathon and the manhunt that followed. mark wahlberg leads the cast in the role of a boston police sergeant, and much of the storyline is drawn from the experiences of for

jews took aeuropean great interest in the american experiment. so yes, i do think that america even before then, the new world opened up possibilities that did , not exist in the old world. and people looked in wonder. >> thanks. jonathan sarna: last question. yeah? >> randy helm, you bloomberg college. -- yulenberg college. i am fascinated by the idea which seems very compelling to me that grant's intemperate response was triggered by the fact that his father was complicit in the smuggling scheme. i have heard and read a little bit that lincoln's own sister -in-law was also involved in smuggling. and that was -- so it was pretty rampant. and that lincoln, in his own way, could be intemperate about that. his own frustration levels, which would indicate that this -- that his -- that this was really a matter of principle for him, because he had a pretty short fuse when it came to smuggling as well. i wondered if that had come up in your research. jonathan sarna: certainly i don't know that his relatives were in cahoots with jews. at least i haven't

. >> i think one of the most remarkable things about the american experience is how frequently when the supreme court decides an issue and it's contrary to what the president and the executive branch things, what do they do? they follow the supreme court's interpretation. that's a remarkable testament to the strength of the constitution and to society that it has created. that will only continue and happen and we have heard a lot about justice marshall. justice marshall, that's only going to happen as long as the judiciary has credibility that we are not just junior varsity politicians who. that what we are as we are trying to apply the law that's been enacted by people. i think the history is remarkable in that part and whether the supreme court decides an issue, constitutional issue, the executive policy has been the unbroken history. >> history doesn't always move in one direction but it is true that that example from the 1830s justice breyer wrote a book where he points out that the 1950s there is the supreme court in the judiciary had gained so much credibility in our system that t

the vietnamese people. as a young boy growing up, i was both american and vietnamese, and i was completely split in two by my experienceng that movie. as an american, i see it through american eyes and i'm rooting for the american soldiers, and then they kill vietnamese people. at that moment, i think, am i american or am i vietnamese? am i the one i'm supposed to identify with or am i the one that is being killed? that has driven me partly to write "the sympathizer." charlie: but it really is one more example of how hollywood has defined our sense of history. viet: yeah, and i teach a vietnam war class. my sentence that come take it are all born in the 18 -- 1980's or at this point. 1990'sor even 2000, so shocking. but their history, the war is defined through stereotypes and through the one or two movies they might've seen. even if everyone knows hollywood shouldn't be taken seriously, people still take hollywood seriously because that is what they have access to. social: it is also a access point. look at how many people write about politics and because culture is so prominent, their culture is from movies. viet: it

when you look that way, the american experiment is a great experiment. there is no parallel to the great document that america had. those documents are ideal, admittedly. there is always a gap between the ideal and realization, but other countries did not even have the ideals. had america not appeared different, most of those immigrants what law have come. -- what not have come. jews would save himself the crossing of the ocean. they would have gone somewhere else. and i think european jews took a great interest in the american experiment. so yes, i do think that america even before then, the new world, opened up possibilities that did not exist in the old world. and people looked in wonder. >> thanks. jonathan sarna: last question. yeah? >> randy helm, muhlenberg college. i am fascinated by the idea which seems very compelling to me that grant's intemperate response was triggered by the fact that his father was complicit in the smuggling scheme. i have heard and read a little bit that lincoln's own sister-in-law was also involved in smuggling. and that w

the 20th century. >> you know, it is interesting because it brings up for me thinking about not just the experience of african-american members, in the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century, but what is the experience of the african-american staff there. and the restaurant is a good example, because in the 19th century, the privilege and responsibility and job of running the house restaurant was given as a concession, was somebody could have almost like the franchise, i guess, of running that. and in the 1860s, after the civil war is over, that is awarded to a famous african-american restaurant owner george downing. and he is up in newport, he is very famous, he is a caterer up there and he comes down to run that restaurant. and his experience is really as someone who is a business man operating in that space. and in the reconstruction period, there -- there are some salient examples of african-americans being sort of the pioneers of being on staff. and in the same way that the reconstruction period in african-american members is, there are very few in number but they manage to sort of be in -- in positi

that's just not a view that, at least in my experience, that reigns at least on my court or the courts of appeals. and i think it's really important for the american people to know that. the judiciary has, battles over the judiciary are high hi political. but in -- are highly political. but in my experience, 11 years on the d.c. circuit, this is the view of the judges regardless of the president who appointed them. as justice kagan said at her confirmation hearings, it's the law all the way down, right? it's law at every step. it's not, you're not -- judges aren't using their position to advance their own view of what the just society ought to be. we're doing the best that we can to follow the law as enacted by we, the people. and something judge davis said, i think, is really important in terms of how the three of us go about it. we don't get to look at the constitution, understand its history and decide on our own what it means. because we are, as the constitution says, we all belong to an inferior court, right? it's the supreme court that's the ultimate arbiter, at least as far as we're concerned, of what those provisions mean. and so that mean
