>> i did undergrad at ball state. a number of those classmates i had came out of southern indiana, central indiana, but i was at a hotel in springfield, illinois, years back, and the waiter brought coffee. it was 6:15 in the morning. and he came to the table and he said, you want coffee? and i was stunned. and i said where are you from? and he said springfield. i said how long have you lived here? my whole life. and i thought, this is what i've waited for. and it was from the descriptions of the letter writers at the time. but when i met david donald at gettysburg for the richard nelson current award of achievement, he wanted to hear it. and i thought what do you say to the author of a lincoln biography that was just awarded the pulitzer? i thought about that a while but i gave him the voice and he smiled that smile which is ever so david donald and he said it's as i expected. don't ever change it. >> so can you give us a full line right here in abraham lincoln's voice as you interpret it? >> if we could first know wh

people recognize the amount of attention that needs to be paid to this because i know when i was in undergrad there were i went with nursing students students who would eventually become doctors they worked 2 jobs on top of their externship swithin nursing facilities across the country so they were people who knew the debt low when they got out the majority of them don't come from middle class or even wealthy families so they know that this is going to be a task for them but they're still willing to jump into this profession right now over 60 percent of the nurses that we're seeing in new york city and other cities across the country that have been called and are retired nurse and those retired nurses are still paying back the debt that they had 2030 plus years ago when they actually got their degree and i think you broke the good point too is that it's not saying that not all doctors are under a lot of doctors there's a lot of doctors down the line especially in plastic surgery no who are swimming and swimming in money you know but that's when you look at the health care system as a whole yo

something that undergrads pushing for that name change, not that i'm opposed to it at all, it's fine, and i think that's part my open mindedness, like, call it whatever you want, call it latinx, that's fine, they would be mad at me if i just dismissed it, cast it aside, the importance of that decision so easily right now. but, you know, as a historian, undergrads don't necessarily know this who haven't been alive or who haven't studied it as much as we have, these kinds of name changes happen all the time. and so i don't want to get hung up on any particular name. i mean, some groups choose mexico-american political association, part of that has to do with where they're located, if they're founded in california or the southwest, maybe they'll go with one name whereas the puerto rican legal defense and education fund, in many ways a spinoff for a group that modelled itself on maldef which in turn modelled itself on the naacp, chose the puerto rican legal defense and educational fund because that's where they're located. nixon, we know, introduced the term hispanic on the 1970 census. t

the origin of the book goes back to when i was in grad school, just graduated undergrad, and i met with martin bloominson, who some of you may know. he was a third u.s. army historian in world war ii and the leading patton biographer. it was his discussions, usually over a gimlet at his house, to talk about two things close to his heart, general mark clark, which i wrote a book on a few years earlier, and then patton. he really enjoyed patton. his papers were on the bestsellers list. we would talk about in regards to a dissertation, what should i write about, he said right about clark, and when you're older, right about patton in world war i. the reason was he felt no one had focused on patton in world war i. there's a lot of good books on patton. there's a lot of bad books on patton as well. i thought it went well with his theme of unconventional. patton is a very controversial figure, and that stems from world war ii. he had the slapping incidences that still hurt his career, his legacy, but when most americans talk about george patton, they think of george c. scott in front of a flag
