- spent theodore roosevelt ability to multitask, did that change much during his lifetime?ow well did he cope and adapt to the aging process? >> could you give me the initiax quote again? what did you start off by saying??ú >> his ability to multitask. i know he could do many things? time that an ordinary human didn't seem possible to do. did that change much during his lifetime? >> no, it did not change. throughout his lifetime the phenomenon of activity. as henry adams said, the president is pure act. he literally did multitask. he could dictate your three letters simultaneously to three secretaries. if you entered the executive office and took your time walking across the space between the door and his desk, he would pick up a book and read a couple paragraphs as you were approaching him. he was a phenomenally fast moving and phenomenally receptive to indiscriminate information. i told you, i mentioned earlier on that he tended to memorize what he read. he read an average of four pages a minute, turning them over with extreme regularity. as he read, he had this photog

and just a new book that is coming out that is not i get from oxford, theodore roosevelt. what is it about this era that attracts you? >> well, people use a lot of type and which i must say for handwriting property is very nice. i started studying at yale with a distinction story who just died last week, one of the great historians of the 20th century. they awakened in me, and i just find it the emergence of the modern united states, a party system, the issues they face that are so relevant today. it's a wonderful period with wonderful, funny stories, larger-than-life characters. so i dived in and have never come out and don't intend to come out. >> professor gould, are you a follower -- a fan of tr's? >> very much so. i think with a certain loving perspective i would like to have, i think sometimes people go overboard with different aspects of his life. so i tried in this little book, it's very short, a hundred passionate under 100 pages. the point is to give you the gist of the president in an action rather than have to spend the entire summer at the beach reading a stor

theodore.ding like beaver. that make no sense whatsoever. >> a lot of the show makes no sense when you kind of delve into it. >> this is what is great. this show is really viewed as being especially for that time, the typical white bread suburban version of what america was like and all that. >> or what people wanted it to be like. >> exactly. but in its own way, the show was rather surreal. it took place in the town of mayfield. they never said where that was. over the run of the show, they would give clues in various episodes that would only confuse you. there were several references on the show to surfing and maybe -- i want to buy a surfboard which implies it is near the ocean. there were several things that made it seem like it was near ohio, maybe in ohio. there were some things that seemed to suggest information near mexico. >> they want to keep you guessing. >> they didn't have continuity back then. >> a lot of mystery then. you never find out in the episodes what the dad does for a liv

i was a fellow for three months, and that's where i began my second roosevelt biography, theodore rex. it was the first time i had been in that environment amongst scholars from all over the world, and i must confess i felt very strange in the company of these guys with long strings of degrees after their names. i was given the study in the tallest of the towers. you'll see outside, right at the top of the immense gothic windows looking out over the mall. the mall, and the first evening i spent there feeling very strange. i was disturbed by the most extraordinary screaming in the corridor outside. it sounded like a knife fight in the new york subway. i rushed out of my office and said to the professor who was in an office opposite me. is somebody being killed? what do we do? do we call the police? he said, don't worry, it's just scholars. don't mix with those guys. [laughter] that's my introduction to the lethal world of academia. it has not changed much since. i have a feeling, ladies and gentlemen, that we're all in the wrong tent. this is a history and biography tent, but i notice

i'm the president and ceo of the theodore roosevelt conservation partnership. i want to thank all of you for coming today and thank the folks on the phone for tune anything and/or thank the national press club for hosting us. we'll have four speakers after me, and there are several other people in the audience who have questions as well. the speakers are the president and ceo of the nature conservancy, dale hall is the president and ceo of ducks unlimited, stephanie meeks and bill meadows, the president of the -- [inaudible] society. our key speaker who will lead off is ted roosevelt, theodore roosevelt iv, and i want to thank him for taking a break to come to us today. ted is, obviously, a leading figure in the conservation movement today as well as great grandson of theodore roosevelt. also in the room are ron reagan from the association of fish and wildlife agencies and rob southwick whose economic report will be profiled today. at the end of these remarks, we'll open the floor to questions. folks -- we'll do folks here in person first will be allowed to ask

but, of course, it problems with theodore roosevelt, and divided republican party. and his judicial temperament didn't really make him effective. so he poured out his troubles in these daily letters in the summer when he would write his wife about what was going on. and since congress met through this summer in 19 '09, 9011 to 1912, there were lots of letters. >> was nellie taft a popular person in the united states? what she well known? first ladies today are of course very well known but what was it like? >> she was somewhat obscure. there was as much focus on the first lady as now. they were emerging as celebrities but they hadn't reached the kind of superstardom that they have now. so people didn't know much about her, and, of course, the stroke make much more difficult for her to achieve all she wanted. but you can credit you heard the cherry blossoms in washington that come out each spring. she arranged with the japanese government to have those sent. she brought a number of distinguished artist to the white house, for its chrysler, the violinist, various sing

she moved her house, she began to entertain, she had to entertain former presidents theodore roosevelt and the great african-american educator booker t. washington. this last rather scandalized the georgia and, and woodrow wilson was again very successful. he was so successful that he began to think of a career in public service which is what he had really always wanted. and he began to be discussed for governor of new jersey. but, in 1906, with his rosy prospect ahead of him, a tragedy befell the wilson's. woodrow wilson walk up one morning in may, blind in his left eye. he probably had a mini-stroke. he was 49 years old. and, he was devastated. the doctors told him that he might have to give up his career entirely.yes there was no medication for hypertension in those days.ave they told them however that he e could recover and he just took regular vacations. medication f homework they told him he would poe ellen encouraged him to have friendships with other women. those pictures notwithstanding woodrow wilson had a very silly side to him. he loved to sing and dance and tell jokes and

let's not forget that the progressive party was started by a republican, theodore roosevelt. john mccain's favorite president. >> bill: but it would have had a different meaning when teddy roosevelt was running than it does now. the progressive movement has been taken over, that's where they're going. >> no, no. the alcoholskis have been folded into it and co- opted -- either co- opted the progressives or the progressives have co- opted them. they've always been buddy, buddy, with the marxists. the difference is that the split with road row wilson and theodore roosevelt was that the republicans were more nationalists as opposed to internationalists. and they believed in using military power, where the democrats did not. >> bill: okay. let's bring it up now. i agree with you that romney and gingrich are not going to dismantle a federal government as it is now. but i don't think michelle bachmann was going to do that either. but on the subject of the congresswoman, why do you think her campaign hasn't really lifted? rick perry came in and her numbers dropped exponentially. righ

and so the fact that dorothy is theodore backwards is a stretch. you would really have to turn theodore roosevelt on his head. it is an interesting story. historians have been dining out on it ever since and frank baum is long since dead so he can't deny it. >> one more question and we will take questions from the audience. you can cue up over here with as much room as we have. one of the interesting things about david's book is the idea of morality. i was taken with the idea that an anthropologist writing history, world wide history and that that debt is a bad thing used effectively and politically in the last made a debt crisis in the summer time. the whole idea of comparing household debt to american debt which there may be problems with. they're not the same thing. the concept of debtors' prison which we were talking about. talk to me so we can have more questions about the idea of debt and morality. >> one thing i found which is fascinating when i was researching the ideas of debt in the great world religions is words for debt and see in in ma

barry goldwater, ronald reagan, and theodore s. white. >> thank you for the phone call from new orleans. conventions were quite different in 1964 and 1968. >> i do think in the making of the president, teddy white was pretty patronizing tiberi goldwater. the 1964 convention was angry. i was told that it was so impassioned and have violently angry by the media -- the eastern establishment press, david brinkley told his son who was a teenager at the time that you are under no circumstances to wear your nbc insignia around san francisco. that is why people were afraid of this idea of the cold water movement as this crazy fascist thing. it was a dangerous for any time. >> in his final two years in the u.s. senate before retiring, he put forth ronald reagan's nomination to serve a second term and to beat the republican nominee in 1984. >> one month ago i sat in my den and watched the democratic national convention. speaker after speaker promised the known to every narrow sense his group in the country. they ignored the hopes and aspirat
