this was the silk that was going to be sold. she was fantastic at it. and another sister followed her, named francis, and this is what often happened. one sister worked in the mill, she would send word to her other sisters or siblings and say apply for a job, you know, come join me. and so within this mill community you had a number of siblings working together. it was very much a family environment. the third sister to come work for skinner was ellen littlefield. now, ellen outlasted both of her sisters at the mill, and she was working for skinner at the time of flood. she is the strongest female character in my book. after the flood. >> she also worked with skinner helping to salvage his silk, and she moved to holyoke and ultimately married his bookkeeper. now, after the flood the valley's loss was going to be or could be potentially someone else's gain. so after the disaster happened, the valley was a very popular spot for investors and capitalists. offers came from all over, from as far away as omaha, nebraska, to the manufacturers that had lost eve

bush was a nice guy. he was always sending people thank you notes. he was a nice man. he was a thank you note president. he was not a particularly dynamic leader of any sort. then you get to george w. bush. i cannot imagine it how he could have ever gotten there. you could say that about six or so american presidents. by the time you got to see him in action you wanted to say, george h. w. bush, please come back. the mere fact that jeb bush is making noises in the woodwork is enough. >> barack obama? >> i voted for him in the first race. i did not the second time around. i did not vote for romney either. i don't think he's a leader. i don't think he is a very effective executive. i think he is somebody who is bright. you may know the exact number, but he has apparently played over 100 rounds of golf while he has been president. that is about 75 more than any president should do if he is spending enough attention on the needs of the country. so i have not been enamored of obama either. >> in 1975, your "mediocrity." move it forward 35 years. >> we were friends then and

this was before he was in office. he was interested in coalitions. he got me involved in the blue green alliance which was an alliance between environmentalists and labor and promote green energy and other activities and he brought all of this to the college board when he came. he brought me on, as i said to be a warrior, to fight the corruption, the lack of transparency, and other horrible things that were going on at the time, and after things got going we worked together on some projects of policy. he had an idea to create a sustainability plan that was not going anywhere for a while, but we worked together on that and we passed it, and it's really a great plan. it's an environmental model, i have to say. he brought a sunshine policy. we worked together in passing a sunshine policy. you have no idea how hard this was. everyone was opposed to it. it took a year, but we finally got it through, and he was persistent. we would meet about it and after i would say "i don't know milton. this doesn't look like it's going anywhere" and he would say "no. we

i was also speaking social society, which was what was going on in society. me, to my grandmother, i was like feeling. too close to say something indefinitely. yes, why did i do the men like that? because i work around it sex. i saw that what was showing, it was the men in this world where the woman was strong. then have to be equal of the men. and i wanted to show it. there was some interest in like a blazer, a jacket, double- breasted. you have the men's jacket with the inside pocket. it is a pocket for the wallet. the women did not have that. why? because the men pay at the restaurant. but can the woman they, too? i think there was a lot of stupid things -- not stupid, but the things that were intelligent but one time that changed and was changing. and the vision of the woman about the man was changing, too. some men were not accepting their femininity. does not mean that they were gay or whatever, no. it just means that men can be sensible, but they have been traumatized by their education that wanted to make them as a john wayne, you know? apparently. it

he was worried for himself. he was worried for her.efore reid left for the chick-fil-a he got another call. there was a problem at the money drop point. >> they spotted three fed cars near chick-fil-a so i don't know where i'm going now. you need to wait for more instruction. >> were the sheriff's undercover teams spotted at the chick-fil-a and is that what quinn meant by fed cars. moments later cayman ominous text from quinn. i know you want me dead. >> reid texted back. i don't know if that's quinn. i have your $50,000. stop -- with me. just give me my wife. there was no reply. investigators brought reid back to his house and parked in the driveway. they set up a mini command center in the house using a recorder to tape all incoming calls and that's when something happened that no one expected. >> we sent the detectives to that home and we didn't do it surreptitiously because they thought about it and they walked in and the minute they pulled in we received a text from the victim. >> reid got another text from his cell phone. wait fo

this was a city in which his mother was born. this was the american city that he visited more than any other. >> what you're looking at here is the grant of honoring u.s. citizenship to winston churchill and of course you have there the citation signed by president kennedy and then the u.s. passport which sadly wynton churchill never used. >> so in other words, as much as churchill loved america, america loved churchill. >> absolutely. and that really is what this exhi business is all about. >> churchill was a great reader and writer of history. he engaged with history. and that's with american history just as much as european history. >> so the bromance between fbr and winston is one of people's favorite stories in the second world war. and here it is, a present from roosevelt to churchill in his 70th birthday. what exactly is it. >> these are lines by abraham lincoln that roosevelt will sent churchill for his 70th birthday and a wonderful inscription where he has written at the bottom for winston on his birthday, i would go eve

was something that was gender oriented about the fact the she was really not given scientific -- she was an information specialist and it sounds a little bit more like the administrative clerical side of the operation. i think probably there is some truth to that although she obviously demonstrated through the course of her years at the fish and wildlife service that she was more than just somebody who typed up stuff and she was clearly highly valued employee of the agency. she did move up. she did advance. she was given promotions throughout her time with the fish and wildlife service, so she was a professional success at the agency. whether that would have happened had she signed on as the aquatic biologist and then tried to do lab work benchwork as one of the agencies is a a little less than certain. times were definitely different. nowhere in the written record does carson ever complain about this. she never ever uttered a single word about feeling that she wasn't given credit for something because she was a woman. and in fact she capitalized on the fact that when books about the

minister was bizarre was this the minister of state security sim yawning that jeff was scared to enter when he arrived the minister of state security someone that everyone in the country feared and was too afraid to come in i would imagine he would see stallin sick in his own bed in open his eyes look at him and say why are you here saw that. one of the most sinister figures of stone and in a circle turned out to be brave enough levante beriah he knew too well that all of his ministry of state security predisposes and ended up in front of a firing squad he also fell out of stone in favor and was very likely to be arrested soon the supporters were also being prosecuted. because varia was the one who understood the situation in the higher echelons of power so he could not allow this to happen. moreover my grandfather told me of it very or had even boasted that it was him it was responsible for stalin's death barry used to say that he saved everyone from the repression by the unpredictable insane dictator. or did the. area immediately realize just how serious stunts condition was but he d

that was the kind of father he was. and one of the reasons i enjoyed writing the this book, there was lots to distress me from beginning to end; the anti-semitism, the appeasement, the isolationism, the ruthless stock market racketeering, the lobotomy that i never understood and the cutting rosemary off. but his relationship with all of the children including rosemary up to that last, those last years was truly remarkable. so on that up note, i thank you all for your attention.

and he was. he was that. he was one of the last jim crow demagogue. what we forget about thurmond is that he was also one of the first of the sun belt conservatives. what do i mean by that? what's a sun belt conservative? the sun belt, it's one of the big stories, one of the major stories in the history of 20th century american politics. and that is the flow of jobs, of industry, of resources and population from the states of the northeast and the midwest to the south and the southwest in the post-world war ii period. the southern states were recruiting industries. they were passing right-to-work laws. they were receiving lots of funding from the federal government to build military installations at a time when the united states was involved in the cold war against the soviet union. so states like mississippi, states like georgia and texas and florida and southern california, arizona, north carolina are all being transformed in the post-world war ii period by this historic shift in population and political influence. just think about it. really does t

i was also, given that i was -- i was surprised by how local things still were.i know it's a book that's supposed to talk about and highlight national politics, but i was surprised that -- how local politics still was, and the other thing that impressed me within -- i mean, we talk a lot that members of congress are supposed to, quote, represent their constituency, and tried to show, you know, what's "representation" mean? it means a lot of different things, but within that, i guess i was impressed that members of congress have to put their -- really were able to put their own stamp on what they were doing. it mattered who a particular representative was. the representatives differed from their preed predecessors te extent on issues they focused on or how they dealt with the constituency, and a lot o

the first child was a girl. it was hetty. he became enraged and was furious. so much that her mother took to her bet. before she was two years old she was sent to live with her grandfather and her spinster aunt. she really wanted her father's love and do the only way to gain it was to earn it. because her father was an obsessed with money and he said so himself. her grandfather taught her to read the newspapers and the stock and bond places when she was a little girl. at the age of eight she opened her own account at a savings bank in town then sent off to the quaker boarding school taught about thrift, eat whatever is put before you, even if much and then if she did not she would be served it and tell it was all gone. and to respect for the poor girl's as their tuition paid for the other girls. and then she was sent to a fancy finishing school in boston where she was taught to to dance and to become a conversationalist and became a striking young woman then she had her debut in new york. she came back a few years later. nothing could out do the flurry of exci

it was like, "whoa, that was easy and that was great. i'm good at this." >> it was clockwork from there. over the course of nearly three years, he took the s.a.t. over and over again, consistently scoring in the 97th percentile or higher for the students he called his clients. >> i mean, my track record speaks for itself. like, if you know somebody's so stellar at doing something so flawlessly, without one exception, it goes without saying that's a reliable service. >> were you invested at all in the score you would get? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. just like any other businessperson, like, you want to have a good track record, right? and essentially, like, my whole clientele were based on word of mouth and, like, a referral system. >> if that sounds outrageous, it's because his high scores and his client's money trumped right and wrong. at the height of his business, eshaghoff was able to charge as much as $2,500 per test. one very satisfied customer gave him a $1,100 tip. >> a lot of times i would actually--i would actually even induce a b

churchill did not think he was a fighter. which was on fair, because he was. he just did not like to send his men out to slaughter. he talked about poachers bills based on churchill's latest schemes. churchill's sacked him. he brought in someone to take his place who did stand up to a. there were fireworks between those two, and later between churchill and montgomery and churchill and eisenhower. it is funny. been more fireworks, the denser the fireworks, the better the relationship between the general or the admiral and churchill. if it is quiet, someone is going to get back. >> your name is on the cover and so was william manchester's. i assume you up and i asked this before. can you tell where manchester starts and where you start? >> that is the game. i hope not. i have had people i respect say, where did you start and where did he end, and he did about 200 typewritten pages. would be 100, 110 pages. but they are not linear. i moved in, and he might write a page, 3 of bill's 3 of mine. somewhere in there are his 100 pages. >> when did he die? >> he died ju

the most dangerous thing was the fact that there was a traitor among the people close to stalin it was barium he was experienced and coming in to me cleverly disguised his motives and stomach trusted him that was his big mistake barry had long been striving for our. resorted to all possible ways one could think of he was capable of and. it was not just beriah but every one of stalin's associates who had reason to see his demise just left molotov an honest does make a particularly fearful of arrest. terrified of conspiracy against him decided to completely restructure his circle and at the same time to intimidate the people of his country once again. it doesn't seem yeah does that all families friends colleagues hundreds of people could have been affected so now it is even how to imagine that it could really be the case i won't be when he was given the list to remove the image of three people but their wives me when i was he's already signed that list and ordered them all to be shot how could a person be so cruel or. just left molotov the man who had signed the secret protocols of the d

that was not unusual. he was still a teenager, he was 17, 18 years old. that was pretty much typical. you would join as a teenager and learn on the job. so he'd been a naval officer for almost half a century by the time the civil war broke out, and we were talking about loyalty before. here's a border state individual, he was born in baltimore, actually, but he grew up in pennsylvania, so which is clearly a northern state. his wife was from the eastern shore of maryland which is a very pro-southern, slave-oriented economic culture out there, so he really did straddle the two sides, and he was conflicted about what to do if terms of his loyalty. when in april 19, 1861, there was this riot in the streets of baltimore and blood was shed, he assumed maryland was going to secede, and so he said, that's it, i'm going with my state and submitted his resignation. now, of course, maryland did not secede, and now he's a little sheepish. goes back and says i've changed my mind, because, after all, this is one of the senior b men in the entire navy. and they said, lo
