>> the oldest was theodore. and theodore was -- had an accident when he was a kid and had to be tripanned, meaning that -- pendel, her brother-in-law, was a surgeon, opened the skull and released the fluid, pressure. took a blow to the head. >> was there anesthetic then? >> yes, they'd use laudanum, that sort of thing. but it's a pretty grotesque procedure nonetheless, and all the family regarded that as the beginning of all the trouble. of course, theodore was an erratic youth who ultimately went crazy. they had to commit him to the insane asylum where he lived until 1870. didn't know any of them after a time and it was very sad, because he was quite lucid for periods early and would implore clay and lucretia to come and get him as though there'd been some mistake made, but a few years that stopped and he was virtually a catatonic case. the other boys were troubled, and they troubled henry and lucretia a great deal because they were bounders. they had drinking problems. thomas especially was -- had to be bailed

the dining room was enlarged by theodore roosevelt. the north lawn, again. the statue of jefferson had been placed there by james k. polk. grant removed it when he did the landscape over in 1873. but polk wanted some symbol to identify himself with the expansion, so he put jefferson on the front lawn. and mrs. polk, who was a shrewd gal, she got a picture of cortez and hung it in the blue room. so she saw little jimmy polk as cortez and not jefferson then. this is the lawn over which the people -- they leapt over the fence that last speech lincoln made, and there were several thousand people there. the greenhouse was a very popular feature of the white house for about 40 years. it was torn down in 1902 -- or moved. part of it was moved. it was not the same one. 24 one was wooden, and this one burned about five years after lincoln's time. but here you see nicolet greeting plains indians and some ladies there and probably the agents, indian agents. these are the contents of the earlier orangery. and those are sasanquas which were very popular in the white hous

there was also a movement in this country led by undersecretary of the navy theodore roosevelt to take our country to war. they really felt like america needed to exert its role in this region of the country, since cuba was only 90 miles from our country, and so there was a combination of the atrocities committed by spain and cuba, the impact of the yellow journalism, the impact of those who were trying to take our country into conflict. and then you have to remember at this time, our country's president was president mckinley who had actually served in the civil war and he knew conflict. he was reluctant to take our country to war then you have youngsters who were called by theodore roosevelt who were adamant to go to war. i think it showed the conflict between some of the old military minds and some of the new military minds, and it ultimately led with the sinking of the maine, and the havana harbor as the catalyst that brought all of these forces together that ultimately led to us declaring war on spain. war is declared in april 1898, the peace was not signed until december but ther

you have these youngsters as they were called like theodore roosevelt who were adamant to go to war. i think it showed the conflict between some of the old military minds and some of the new military minds, and it ultimately led with the sinking of the maine, and the havana harbor as the catalyst that brought all of these forces together that ultimately led to us declaring war on spain. war is declared in april 1898, the peace was not signed until december but there were ten weeks of warfare. one of the interesting aspects is that its cause was the atrocities in cuba, and yet it spanned halfway around the world to the philippines, when the united states entered into the war we did not have any colonial possessions, yet after the war we picked up guam, puerto rico, the philippines, there were people who said we had designs on cuba. we did not, in fact, colonize cuba. they became an independent country. but another important i think aspect of the spanish american war is that it really thrust our country onto the world stage as a colonial empire. arkansas' role was in a non-military man

and edith roosevelt -- and theodore roosevelt wanted it to evoke its sort of colonial roots and so it's a very federal, formal white house. the beautiful pillars. the great entryway. the new grand staircase that she put in. it also helps to bolster -- the roosevelts brought in the imperial presidency, a much more regal, formal worldwide presidency. this is when america really moves into the greater world as a power. and this white house was built to command respect for that and to show the power of that presidency. and mrs. roosevelt was in charge of the decoration of that white house. >> and she added a first ladies portrait gallery? >> she did. she consolidated the portraits of the first ladies. commissioned hers to be added to it and established a first ladies portrait gallery on the ground floor of the white house. >> politically, policywise, what is she known for? >> she's a first lady that steps away from policy. certainly is someone that can restrain her husband, and i'm sure had words to say for her husband, to her husband, an opinion. but she keeps very private with him. she ha

in 1902, president theodore roosevelt was able to convince congress to fund a restoration of the house. that magic word was sweetened by mrs. kennedy. he got a very careful restoration of the outside with a victorian addition. inside he got a total modernization. there has been one change of b substance and that was the balan balcony on the south side. truman took $16,000 and built the balcony. truman insisted that he would like to improve the architecture of the building. a new white house was built inside of them. those floors lincoln had tried went to landfill. he deeply believed that the president should remain in the white house. when the work was finished, he ordered that the room that lincoln's office had been in be used. truman was loyal to those walls. he was walking around with hershey one day and they were about to chip a window and carry in a bull doze ser and a dump truck. and he said stop. he insisted that those be taken down. they were taken down and rebuilt and dug with cellars. he was serious about those walls. i have studied and written about the winehouse for years.

. >>> goldie was born the year that theodore roosevelt was president. it is happening right now. folks in the gingrich campaign are -- his exit from the campaign trail just one day after mitt romney -- the former speaker says he is planning to end his bid for the presidency next tuesday. we have the latest from washington. >> on the campaign trail wednesday, newt gingrich said he accept -- excepts mitt romney's nomination for the presidency. >> i think that i would be a better candidate. the voters did not think that. >> gingrich calls for unity and the -- republican party and says he will do everything he can to ensure mitt romney is an effective candidate. >> no conservative should have any doubt about the importance of defeating barack obama. >> the former house speaker announced his candidacy on facebook and twitter last may. the campaign struggled from the start with that and in june, several people resigned. voters seem to be searching for an alternative to romney and gingrich found himself at the top of the polls for a while. analysts credit strong debate performances. >>

they don't know who theodore roosevelt was. they know he was president but have a very vague idea of exactly what he did or why he was somebody of a importance. so they want to read a book or see the documentry. and i think some of movies that have come along have been very effective. i think we human, are by nature interested in history. i just think it's part of our human nature. we want to know what happened before. once upon a time, long, long ago, the children's stories begin. the two most popular movies of all time, well, not necessarily accurate, are historyal in spirit and setting. "gone with the wind" and "titaniq." i think that's an very important measure. tomorrow hanks is going to be producing a big, multihour movie for television of my book, "john adams," and tom hanks is a very solid and conscientious man with great intigget and taste and i expect that movie will reach people in a way that maybe nothing else could and a hundred times more than any book of mine might or other authors. if it's done right, that will

one of his most famous journalists, theodore h. white, then a young "time" correspondent in china and for a time a friend and admirer of luce, he was fired when he began to express his disaffection for chiang. partly because of luce's grief over the fall of china, he went on to be a passionate champion of the least successful wars. if he had his way, the united states would have used both the korean war and the vietnam war as conflicts that would help unleash chiang kai-shek and join him in over throwing the communist regime in china. he believed in that until his death. luce was a difficult man with few friends, an unhappy marriage and kind of shyness linked with arrogance that left him mostly alone. alone but certainly not invisible. his hand was evident in almost every aspect of time incorporated's life and culture. the company attracted talented young men from the ivy league, almost never women. men who aspired to be novelists, poets or playwrites but wrote for "time" because they needed a salary. no one paid better than luce.

shadings that -- brought to the office by jefferson and jackson, of course, lincoln, and especially theodore roosevelt, i think that woodrow wilson marks out a clear dividing line from previous presidents for two reasons above all. the first was his open disdain for the constitution. professor mansfield noted some time ago wilson notable for being the first president to criticize the constitution. and that was merely of a piece with his dismissal of the founding which we thought was no longer relevant to the 20th century. his second original sin of the modern presidency was his conception the president should be someone who ought to be a leader with the capital "l," not in the ordinary sense of, say, sports team coach or even a chief executive of a company or military commander but someone of lofty transformative vision we might say today taking the american people to new and distant destinations the people themselves might not even be entirely aware they want to go. slightly more prosaic, wilson began the familiar practice increasingly debasing republican government. namely the in-person st

he very consciously patterned his career on his distant cousin, theodore roosevelt. roosevelt had been elected to the state legislature, the new york legislature, as was franklin. and tr have become assistant secretary of the navy, as now had fdr. all that was left was for fdr to become vice president and president because that's what happened to tr our teddy roosevelt after serving in the cabinet as assistant secretary of the navy, then went on to become vice president and president of the united states. >> it turned out that wilson won the election just barely. roosevelt continued as assistant secretary of the navy, and then in 19 -- he went back to private practice in new york city. roosevelt in 1920 became the vice presidential candidate running with james cox of ohio. they got trapped by calvin coolidge -- warren harding and calvin coolidge of the republican party. at the same time, after harding was elected, he appointed his secretary of state. one year later, their fortunes into go up -- one going up in one going down. his became extraordinarily successful. as

the discussion began a century ago when theodore herzl proposed his uganda plan, which was to say if the idea of zionism is basically to alleviate the situation of jews in europe, which already people felt a century ago to be untenable, then any land would do- uganda as well as palestine- of the time. and this provoked the first great debate within the zionist movement between those who are for seeking sovereignty in the land of israel, and those who said, well, sovereignty can be achieved elsewhere too. this was the first big territorial debate. then the next phase was in the thirties when the british proposed their first division of what was then palestine, which included both banks of the jordan river, the east bank and the west bank of the jordan river, and to divide it into two- the east bank, which will be what we now call jordan, and the west bank, which would be palestine- would be some kind of joint jewish and arab state. this provoked again another big argument within the settlement then in the land of israel among those who said, "only the entirety of the land," and those
