president theodore roosevelt wrote of his father many years later i was fortunate in having a father whom i've always been able to regard as an ideal man. he really di did combine the strength and courage in oil and energy of the strongest man with the tenderness, cleanliness and purity of a woman. in all my childhood he never laid a hand on me about one that i always knew in case it became necessary, he wouldn' you woulde slightest hesitation in doing so again. in a certain sense, my fear of him i would have hated and dreaded beyond measure to have him know i have been guilty of a lie over of cruelty or bullying or uncleanliness or cowardice, "-end-double-quote. when the father was buying of intestinal cancer at the age of 46, theodore junior who was the way at harvard during his last days in most of his suffering perhaps the loss of his father would be the ultimate disaster for which elliott would never quite recover reflecting on theodore senior's wife, his daughter wrote nothing is as difficult as to achieve success in this world if one is filled with great tolerance and human ki

theodore roosevelt. churchill would propose later. before and during world war i would serve in the cabinet as first lord of the admiralty. roosevelt himself would never serve in the armed forces, but he would follow the example of his famous cousin teddy as assistant secretary of the navy in world war i under woodrow wilson. in may 1940 when winston churchill became prime minister, great britain would undergo one of the greatest crises of her long national history. a mortal threat to the very survival of the nation itself. indeed, at the end of 1940, britain was insolvent. isolated by the fall of france, the u.k. fought the massive german armed forces alone. to prevail, the prime minister knew he needed an american alliance. as he said, "i will drag america in." but in fact it would be japan and germany on december seventh 1941 who would drag america into world war two. some distrust between america and britain never dissipated during world war ii, the gossip to the contrary notwithstanding. the president and his secretary of state pr

and i had just finished several years with theodore roosevelt. excuse me. so i said, i've been with a roosevelts for about now years now and i think i'd like a little change of scene. and i said, if i were to going to write a book about 20th century president, it would be harry truman. everybody around the table right away, yes. yes, what a great thing. and i thought, why the hell did i say that? [ laughter ] and i to this day no idea why i said it. i never gave three minute's talk to doing a book about harry truman. so, i said, hold on. hold on. let me go out to independence, go to the truman library. see what there is there to work with. talk to margaret and interview him and so forth. i did all that. i came back very excited about it so that's how i came to write -- and, and i remembered him vividly because he was president when i was in high school and college. in fact, one of my most vivid memories is night of the 'viii election i was 15 and i was very interested in politics and e grew up in a very republican family and i tried to stay awake as long as

fdr would enter new york politics when the progressive republican theodore roosevelt was the most famous american in the world. politics was different for roosevelt. and for churchill. churchill's heart beat to the rhythm of debate in parliament. not to the noise of grassroots politics. after his heroic struggle to overcome polio and paralysis, fdr would become the people's politician. much more attuned than churchill to public opinion. but even in early 1941, after three presidential victories, fdr did not reside over decisive congressional majority, not least because of the isolationism in both the democrat and republican parties. churchill on the other hand govern a large majority coalition throughout the war. fdr would have to fight to campaigns for the presidency during the war, 1940 and 1944. the prime minister would face no parliamentary general election until july 1945 at the end of the war. whereupon he was dismissed from office by the british voters, one of the great ironies of the war. churchill's character was more straightforward than that of roosevelt. fdr was practiced at

much verbatim evidence from historical american political giants, from abraham lincoln to even theodore rooseveltight can say, we are right, even abraham lincoln agrees. unfortunately, as a scholar, i didn't have the opportunity to think of the effect of this definition. i wanted to create a definition of a racist idea which is very simple, any idea that suggests a racial group is superior or inferior to another racial group in anyway. that definition ended up becoming applied to people i didn't realise it was going to be. but again i think that has been one of the problems. that we... so many people have tried to define their ideas outside of racism. and it has left us with a nearer —— and it has left us with an inaccurate idea of it. why don't americans challenge racism? if we actually look at american history. during the enslavement era, by the time of the end of slavery, 4 million, 5 million poor whites, largely kept in poverty due to the riches of slave holders. then you have the reconstruction era which was a boon for many working class and poor whites, as it was for pre—blacks. but then th

but the classic example for us is, theodore roosevelt in '71, as we transitioned many years ago from the maintenance structure that we used to have to what we call today the incremental maintenance plan, most of the areaicarriers got a complex set. when she got into the mid-life refueling, she would have had significantly fewer mandates of work defense attorney on her in the first 20 years of life. so we had a very challenging refueling overhaul, not surprising. and so i think -- you've got to, yes, it will cost you a little bit more toward the end of life and we have to factor that into the plans, but the key is consistent application in the maintenance plan and make the investments on a regular basis. if you do that, then you won't have these major renovations in the last five to ten years of the ship's life. that's kind of our experience. [ inaudible ] if anything thinks we can get to 355 without having growth in both those accounts, they are living in la la land because that is not going to happen. so we have to factor both of those in to the equation. and we have to have the upf

in chicago we are replacing water mains when president roosevelt was in office, that's theodore roosevelt. i have is sections of wooden pipe in my office taken out of the ground the last couple of years. served us well those trees depend. many other communities don't have the capacity and technical know-how to use the programs aren't and falling further and further behind. it is not uncommon in our region to lose 25, 30, 40% of their water through leaks of their system. if every time you went to the store 40% of your groceries went out the went or mike, 40% of his water poured out on the way home you would realize that problem. but that's common in our system. a lot of communities have no dedicate the revenue stream for storm water management. in addition a lot of communities fail to update their rates on any sort of regular schedule so fall further behind. the federal government can do many things whether through incentives in scoring or grants made available or basic requirements of the program to encourage full-cost pricing, encourage asset management plans, consistency in reporting an

and theodore roosevelt once said, black hair rarely sits behind the writer whose pace is fast enough to you don't sit about moping for feeling sorry for yourself. self-pity is an ugly human inclination. but get up and do things, accomplished something. make the world a little better. every day, if he can come in some small way or another. help other people who need help. be kind, have empathy, put yourself in the other persons place and try not ever to be boring. [laughing] it's not fair to be boring. it's unkind to your friends or your family. and we will go here to the final question. >> good evening, i have a history teacher. i hear in cambridge, massachusetts, and i had to brief questions for you. number one, what are you currently reading right now, esther macola, for enjoyment -- david mccullough for enjoyment? >> when i'm working on a book i don't read anything but all that i need to read in order to be competent enough to write that book. so right now i read all about the northwest territory. i'm reading biographies and autobiographies of a whole cast of characters. i've alwa

so the classic example for us is theodore roosevelt, cbn 71. as we transition, many years ago from a maintenance structure we used to have into what we call today the incremental maintenance plan. most of the carriers got a complex overhaul to kind of reset them. and tr missed out on that. when she got into her mid-life refueling. if were you to look at how many should she had at 23 years, she had significantly fewer man days of work done on her than the first four nimitz classes, '68oring, '69, 'and 70. we had a very challenging overhaul, not surprising. i think you've got to yes, it will cost awe little bit more towards the end of life and we got to fact tr into our plans. but the key is, consistent application of the maintenance plan and make the investments necessary on a regular basis. if you do that, then you won't have these major perturbations in the last five to ten years of the ship's life. that's kind of our experience. you got to do both. as i said at the beginning, you have to do the procurement and you have to do the maintenance.
