mary lincoln was wrong it was not her husband's blood it was major rathbone's blood. major rathbone came here, he leaned against the wall in the hallway, soon he sat down and collapsed and fainted. he was taken from that floor and taken home. so here's where mary lincoln spent much of the night. secretary of war stanton and secretary of the navy wells arrived at the peterson house shortly after lincoln was taken here. they were first at the home of secretary of state seward. they had heard the secretary of state had been stabbed to death in his bed, and he almost was killed. he survived the wounds. when they got to seward's mansion near the white house they heard that lincoln had been shot here at fd's theater so they rushed over here in a carriage. by the time they got here, thousands of people had gathered at the corner of 10th and f streets and the carriage couldn't push through the crowd. so there they were, the two most powerful members of the cabinet commanding the entire united states army and the navy had to disembark from their carriage and disappear into the

then who was it? >> the obvious answer was let's dig back in the case and see who else was a suspect in those days and who else can we get a dna standard from and let's keep going until we get suspects. >> the first person on their list was daniel woloson. he was originally a suspect, and worked close to the murder and ran away when police tried to question him. by now, he was divorced with one child and did not want to talk with police. >> he said he had provided hair samples back in 1981 and he was not interested in cooperating with their investigation. >> investigators wanted a dna sample. woloson refused to provide one and the courts refused to order one. siting the lack of probable cause. woloson's hair was on file from the original investigation but the sample didn't contain root material, so they couldn't be used to generate a full genetic profi profile. so, they decided to use a it unconventional method to get woel's i'm caridee. i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most of my life. bu

one was cool when it was new but it wasn't new.it wasn't cool. he walked me out to the car after -- i cannot remember what we were talking about -- probably apple at the time because he was unhappy with the way things were going and i was trying to do a story on apple for fortune. he came out and was looking at me walking back and he said you drive that and he said you are kidding me? you take your kids to school in that. and i said hell yeah when i have to. and he said well that doesn't even have airbags and i said no they didn't have airbags back then, steve. and he said you cannot have a car like that. and he heard stories like this from many many people. he would tell you how to run your lives. >> down to the car you should be driving. >> i want to take one small degression before getting to the tri triumph and return to apple. in 1991 they was one of two interviews that steve jobs and bill gates every did face to face. the occasion was the 10th anniversary of the pc. we have a picture of these three young men standing in steve

steve jobs was asked if he was x.in 1983 and he was trying 12 in 2005 at those early years you can really see the failures very clearly spent on the other had rick and i thought a lot about this as we were trying to lay out the book. the big question sort of a philosophical one we talked about together is what has changed? how did people really change? do they really change? i think, are they completely different? after you think about it a while you realize well, no, you can't change stripes for spots. you are who you are and job the strengths you have and you do have blind spots and weaknesses that you need to contend with. what changes is managing how those affect your performance. and make more use of which are good at and minimize or medicaid the things that get you into trouble, if you can. and acting is what the growth is. also maybe some people call it maturity too. we finally realized, yeah, steve changed but it's not like he changed his hair color, or he changed his shirt. which he did a. but it was really m

i was, i was there in luxembourg, i was really -- i was only person in that office who was working onthe kindle, and there were only a couple of people in europe at that point who were working on the kindle. so i had this very definitely stressful experience of spending the day in luck 'em burg -- luxembourg mainly talking to people in london and the people who reported to me, none of them were in luxembourg. so it was a lot of being on the phone or e-mail. then would run home occasionally be able to have dinner with my family, and then spend the next five hours or so on conference calls with seattle because the time difference -- that's what it was. and that was a very, i mean, it was a hugely challenging experience. i was there for about 18 months. so really, a brief one. and i learned more in 18 months than i thought was possible. it was -- i don't have a graduate degree. i was an art history major, and i felt like in that 18 months i got, you know an engineering degree and a business degree. to really learn truly how to the communicate with engineers and how to explain to them, no

this was not -- it was rural living and life was tough for them but life was made easier for them by their enslaved laborers and they certainly did use those to great advantage for them. susan: what is known -- question for both of you about the tyler's attitude at this point -- with letitia tyler and john about their attitude toward slavery? taylor: we know quite a bit. john tyler is one of the staunchest supporters of slavery that ever inhabited the white house. he was vocal about it throughout most of his career and he believed firmly and he said that slavery is the greatest property that a southerner can own. he believes this is the backbone of the society. letitia, we know a little bit less about. we know from -- from a story that actually ends up in some of the abolitionist press later on in the 19th century of a -- of a former enslaved man who had been a member, in fact, of the christian family who recalled that that -- that john tyler actually would -- he may have been less kind to -- to the enslaved men and women who are out in the fields. but when it came to the enslaved me

and he was -- tried a bunch of professions. he was a surveyor he was a store keeper. finally, he decided to become a lawyer, and he came into springfield to practice law. he spent his entire career as a lawyer in springfield. and this was the state capital because of lincoln. he got the state capital moved to springfield. and then typical of lincoln he gets the state capital moved to where he's going to practice law, which didn't hurt his law practice at all. but that's why springfield was so special to him. this is also the place to which his body came back after the assassination on the 14th of april 1865. as you know, john wilks booth shot him at 10:30 he lived until 7:22 the next morning when he passed. and edward stanton the secretary of war uttered the immortal words, now he belongs to the ages. this was a national event of great horror, the first president assassinated. this came on the heels of the triumph of the war, and people just could not adjust from the ecstasy of victory to the horror of this assassination. he laid in state in washington until april 21s

appotomax was a county that was formed in 1845. and in virginia the county seats are always known with the county name, and then the two words, court house. but it was a village that did have a courthouse building in it. lee arrives here on the afternoon of april the 8th. he deemploys some of his artillery here in front of him on this road on the way to appotomax station. this is where he has supply trains waiting for him. so he sends some of his artillery out into a position mere. then he sends men out here to start unloading his supply trains. while they are unloading these trains they are surprised by general custer's californiavy who comes in and captures the supply trains and some of the men. some of them escape and start heading back towards the court house village is where their main military is. the cavalry has caught up to them. this is one of the two battles that were done here in appotomax. this is the one known as the battle at appotomax station. the only battle fought between a con californiavy unit and a confederate -

he was not a good historian, but it was a good president. this brilliant book: congressional government. i urge everyone here he shows how congress because they do not have a single mind they have very often conflicting and divergent minds you can't have a unified government. that is all there is to it. he made the case so convincing. incidentally it was wilson who restored the tradition of the president making enable address to congress. for over 100 years jefferson had completely extinguished this tradition that washington had launched the president addressing congress which is absolutely the perfect way to play a leadership role. so this powerful presidencies growth during the wars and depressions of the 20th century, and then came watergate. there was another overthrow command we still are struggling with a semi- congressional government. and it is causing all kinds of unrest because no one is quite certain just how much power congress should have. we we now have the only congress the only legislature that insists it is a major role a ma

it was going terribly. grant was not good on it. hayes was worse. hayes withdrew the troops that were protecting the african-americans in the south. garfield understood their plight and wanted to educate them. could he have overcome the racism that existed in the south? probably not. but could he have helped increase literacy among african-americans at the time which was well off -- well under 30% and he was talking about education for them -- could he have improved the scientific methods used by american farmers in agriculture to improve production, to improve the economy of the country? probably. he was very interested in financial matters. could he have helped america to become more prosperous? that was something he would have worked on. he certainly wanted to move forward with the civil service reform. whether he had would have passed it or got it passed? i don't know. it wasn't moving until he had died. so those are the issues he was focusing on. certainly looking back on him and particularly reading his inaugural address, you get the impressio

i sat with her in her kitchen the grandmother was holding freddy and i was there and freddy was looking really upset, he would not allow his own mother to touch him. eventually it worked out and he took to his mother again. but who knows what kind of psychological wound that would make him a small child. and the nice quote that i had from her at the time she said they took us away from our children and separated us from our families and i will never forget. it was only for working and they treated it as a crime. and so one of the things i've learned from all three of these people was that it was really difficult for them to be in the detention center. that's when i started hearing about detention in arizona. it wasn't just the harshness or the confinement, omar was very athletic guy he was a star soccer player in high school and all three of those kids have high school diplomas from schools in tucson. the confinement was difficult, the harsh treatment by the guards come of the abusive language. the two things they said that bothered him the most were being treated like a criminal and th

a call from paul noter he was worried the billing was going to be purchased and he was going to be kicked out at the art gallery space he was told that our legislation that mr. sanchez just described was going to allow that to happen. i panicked slightly because we went through a pain staking process with the neighborhood group fan, [inaudible] and the merchant group to make sure the change we were making to the neighborhood nerbacker commercial controls did not affect retail space or -- did not allow for something like this to happen for a retail use to be kicked out like this. after that, i made contact with ann marie rodgers at the planning department, they assured us our legislation would not allow this to happen, so basically what happened next was -- do you want me to explain it more? okay, i also called the real estate agent at that time, i think he name was mr. cauchi, explained to him our legislation in place would not allow this to happen, after confirm hating with the planning department, so it was our understanding they knew going in that that wasn't a use that was going to be

it was very dark, it was dank and it was a disturbing environment to be in. >> [ bleep ], that lady out there, that lady, [ bleep ]. turn it off. turn it off. >> in fact, even the elevator to the idu could be intimidating. >> i had absolutely no elevator issues ever in my life until i stepped into this thing. >> we followed the prison's lead psychologist, dr. reggie matias, as he was making his way to visit an idu inmate who was hoping to work his way out. >> part of the charm of the indiana state prison. it's like a ride at disney land. >> the inmate dr. matias is meeting is brian collins who is serving 60 years for a variety of charges. including rape. >> that dude you're talking to should be on "to catch a predator." he shouldn't be on "lockup." >> collins had a history of violence in prison as well. he once stabbed an inmate nine times and spent the last 7 1/2 years in the idu. now after a period of good behavior, he's requested a move to the chronic care unit. a steppingstone toward general population. >> you've done a lot of time in seg, and i don't know, maybe it's inevitable tha

that was one of the things he was good too late to one up and his favorites was the marlborough read so i face the moral dilemma to make ted decision on my own so i went up but his first impression was isn't this a bunch of troops to blowoff hot air to complain about something? i said no. and gave him the incident he said get your but at of my office in this meeting never took place. and i thought to myself i screwed bristles now. i will have a bad report but the office clerk shook meet years later i asked what was going on. he said the captain is transport:dash transferred to headquarters companies so they took him off the road. he thought he had ben nevis -- a nice desk job that one night they caught him and beat the crap out of him he was carrying a flashlight they took that away from him he had to go under five minutes until his face healed but he got the message we don't know where they came from which company >> host: was this an unusual but having never been placed into such a moral dilemma in my life and i often think about it refers to the wind would you care to write about

so it was very calculated and it was very shrewd and it was very, very cynical. >> smith: a few months earlier the president was holding a routine press conference about campaign finance medicare, and afghanistan. then came the last question of the day. >> chuck todd. >> mr. president, could you update us on your latest thinking on where you think things are in syria, and in particular whether you envision using u.s. military? >> smith: in his response, president obama brought up assad's prospective use of chemical weapons. >> we have been very clear to the assad regime that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. that would change my calculus. that would change my equation. >> that was not, apparently, a planned thing; he said it in response to a question from a reporter who was asking about the use of chemical weapons. >> and that there will be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front. >> some of the aides, in fact, who heard him say this were surprised. they didn't know where that

and there was some force there. and there was a bump. there was vibration. and then an immediate jolt. and i flew across the rail car. there were luggage and seats that came unhinged that were flying around. but at the end of the day the car that i was in most people even though they were pretty banged up were okay. there was a lot of really really good people on the train last night and an incredible amount of help that i think made the situation a lot better than it could have been. >> andrew i know that you feel lucky and blessed to be where you are and to be alive and back in washington with your girlfriend and we're glad that you are doing okay. thank you so much for sharing your story. >> thank you. >>> "outfront" next we'll break down how the amtrak train derailed how it crashed. this is going to be a second-by-second analysis to try to understand what went so horribly wrong. >>> almost 24 hours after the crash, people who were thought to be on the train are still missing. still missing. they don't know where they are. is there any hope that some of t

the fbi was doing its own thing. it was committing clearly illegal activities. the committee requests from the fbi -- requested information from the fbi on targets of black bag jobs. this is between 1942-19 66. -- 1942-1966. the fbi responded that there was no index, file, or document, and because they were unable to answer specifically what the committee requested, but based on the review of records at fbi headquarters and recollections of fbi officials, the fbi conducted during this time, 239 break-ins involving 15 organizations occurred. if you evaluate that, that would suggest that the fbi had used this with great restraint and had used black bag jobs with respect to legitimate national security targets, communist officials and suspected communist agents. it turns out the fbi was not being forthright with the committee, because unbeknown to the fbi officials this time and discovered in march of 1976, the head of the new york fbi office, john malone, got a massive file of records recording fbi break-ins conducted by the new york office between 1954-1973. revi

i was dating up a storm. it was good times. i met this one girl. she was an actress. she had a great sense of humor. we got along great. i thought i was in love with her, you know. out of nowhere -- >> hey, baby. >> -- she decided to drop me for someone else. and that really hurt. people knew something was wrong. >> hey, erik! >> rai is this armenian guy. i was training him three or four times a week. he became a really good friend of mine. >> what's going on? >> hey, you know, my girl broke up with me. >> that sucks. >> it was obvious that i was pretty sad. he told me, you know, look -- >> you should really make a trip for me. >> he was having people travel around the world importing expensive leather goods. >> i don't get it. why don't you just mail it back? >> by sending someone over, claiming it as their own clothing, we're beating 55% import tax. >> beating the import tax back into the u.s. isn't a big crime at all in my eyes. >> will i go to jail if i do this? >> nothing will happen to you. they'll probably confiscate the goods, maybe a fine. >> and i was and yo

it was about one word, and it was about race. people don't like to talk about it today, despite all of the things going on, people will say, no, that is not the problem. bad relations, you know? it is about once that word became the basis of how reconstruction would go then of course it has been a complex issue, reconstruction. remember, northerners were also against slavers. but remember, there were many who were not for it. there were northern missionaries who would help to keep these people down here, we don't want them to cross the ohio river and come up there and compete with us socially and economically. as i said in my civil rights book, civil rights never crossed the ohio river in the 1960's. i think we have to do more work on what race meant in america in the 18th century and the 19th century and the 20th century and now, here we are a short time later in the 21st century. what did race do and how did it him andwhat did race do and how did it play a role to americans in the north and south? these were revolutionary chang

it was said that democracy was the best of the least, no system was good. where did that come from?n maurer: yes churchill said democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others, and, again, what he is trying to highlight is no form of government is going to be perfect, but of all of the forms of government, this is the one that is the best for humans to organize themselves around, and in the history of the two were wars, it shows democracies can be effective in war in that they won both wars and the cold war too, so i think at times people get down on democracy, and they see the fighting that takes place, and sometimes that can be unhealthy. there is no doubt about that but at the same time, people are able to get caught up in debate and these things can be openly discussed. i think you get by in and churchill understood that the weaknesses with democracies, they also had great strengths. >> thank you by this. i was fascinated by the war between britain and the united states that did not take place. i recently learned that the calm and carry on slogan is a referen

that was ms. parks. she was courageous. she was determined and she was very influential. i met her for the first time when she came back to be with to her of her friends, johnnie carr, the architect of the montgomery bus boycott and a white woman named virginia dirk, whose husband had represented dr. king. i was sitting and listening to her for two hours and she was so encouraging. at one point she said to me, bryant, tommy what the equal justice initiative is. tell me what your turn to do. and i looked at her to see if i had permission to speak and she nodded. i gave her my rep. and i gave her my whole rap and when i finished, she said, that is going to make you tired and tired. and she said that is why you've got to be brave, brave, brave. ms. parks was a courageous woman . what defined her was her bravery, her willingness to take personal challenges, personal risks to advance the cause of justice. she is really in many ways not fully credited for being that courageous, tenacious fighter which i think more accurately characterized her life. amy: talk about how you and f

it was just -- it was moving. i didn't notice any difference than the speed we were traveling before, no. >> and i understand that when it derailed, joan, you went flying, and went flying toward your son, is that right? >> i went flying toward the windows in the side of the car that was going down. and we were sitting in the front so there were many large pieces of luggage that one hit my chest, one hit my head and i was covered with all of this luggage when my son found me. >> what is going through your mind in a situation like that, joan? is it happening so fast that you don't think or can you tell me what it's like? >> it was very scary. but, you know, i think i started to panic a little bit but my son just kept calling my name and he found me and he got me out and made sure that i got out of the train and then i could focus better and to see if i could help others as well. >> and max, when you went to help others, what was the scene like for you? >> um, i mean, people were everywhere. there was suitcases every

i was frightened. and i was cold. and i was vulnerable.at i realized was, if i die, i'm free. if i escape, i'm free. if i die, i'm free. and that was a very liberating feeling. one way or the other, i'm out of prison. that feeling alone suffused me. all my muscles and all my body was just livened by the feeling that i'm out. and i did it. i'd have rowed forever. i would have rowed 100 miles. i'm going to row until i die or until i hit the damn beach. i was chanting to myself, "if they catch me, they will beat me. if i make it, i'm free." that kind of stuff. whatever kept me going, i was rowing and rowing. and i rowed and rowed. catch me, they will beat me. make it i'm free. catch me, they will beat me. make it, i'm free. catch me, they'll beat me, make it, i'm free. catch me, they'll beat me, make it, i'm free. suddenly, i lifted up a little bit. and the boat scraped. it was sand. the wave lifted up a little bit again. and i was there. it was the sand. i was, like, on the beach. it truly was the finest morning of my whole life. ecstatic at

his squadder was assigned to the carrier, and it was off the carrier that he was shot down when he was bombing teaches -- mr. bush: it is a day in my life i will never forget, early in the morning, we had flown over chichi jima. we were doing what they call divebombing. it when i go straight down my a dive bomber, but it would glide, and we were carrying and i pushed the plane over, and about halfway down, you could see the stuff breaking all around you. you didn't feel the plane, and suddenly it was engulfed in moke and fire, and i did manage to finish the calming running pull out over the ocean. i hit a turn so the people in the back could get out, and i jumped and pulled the record to early, and i hit my head on the tail of the airplane and ended up with a great, big, like strawberry. you know in baseball when you slide, you just rip the skin off. ironically, the chute ended up for a moment on the tail of the plane. i looked up, came to, looked at the pacific, you see the japanese island very clearly. landed in there. i forgot to hook my seat back, so one of the fighter pilots showe
