he was in his 40's. she was as well.eft, he and his wife had met a very charming man named eliza mortimer. there he charming -- elias mortimer. he was a con man. he was a bootlegger and a comment. -- con man brian:. brian: you couldn't drink legally during this. rosemary: he drank a lot apparently. that was beside the point as far as his role was concerned. , he leftople money some congressman money -- went some congressman money. he was putting in good words with the prohibition directors. he led harding the money. andas lending money one way -- ing people you would set people up through friendship. tobecame a good friend catherine mortimer. it is very strange, mortimer would not agree with him. she only supported him in public. he did not interfere with other people toss marriages. them -- then in 1922 asked if he could go to the west coast with them on a business associatesome of his from the veterans bureau. to inspect parts of it veterans bureau on the west coast. loosely --ry foolishly said that he could come. on t

this was what his calling was.gets developed, it goes off successfully as larry just said. and then the decision has to be reached. what does one do with it? but actually, even before that bomb went off in july, and may there, people in washington who at that point had some foresight said we are going to have to decide what to do with this. looks like we are actually going to make a bomb and we're going have to decide what to do with it. so what did they do? they do what everyone does, you appoint a committee. and this is called the interim committee because it was just going to be about the bomb. and with that interim committee which was a distinguished committee of people, they had a scientific panel. there were four scientists that would decide the interim committee. and that was a sequence. on the interim committee was oppenheimer of course, and fermi was on it with two other nobel prize is assists. and they were asked to make a recommendation. and they met in los alamos on june 15 and 16th. and there was treme

and it was as eerie as it was chilling. detective in the bull's-eye. >> keith had come forward to him wanting to have me killed. >> put a hit on you? >> put a hit on me. >> orchestrating your death? >> yes. he'd drawn a map of what he believed to be my residence. suggested the caliber of weapon to use to kill me. the informant specifically asked him what if my family was present, and his response was one word, and that was tragedy. >> wow. that does make the hair on your neck stand up. >> it does. >> that wouldn't look good to a jury. the development brought aaron to a tipping point. were you no longer wavering at this point, aaron? had you come down on the side of, oh my god, my father killed my mother? >> yeah. yeah. >> now aaron, too, wrote his dad a letter. if he was guilty -- >> it's time. it's time to man up and do what you should have done two years ago. >> keith's defense attorneys went to the prosecutor to hammer out a plea deal. they agreed on 30 years in prison for the murder and for soliciting the hit. moments l

i just couldn't believe this was the way it was going to happen. >> she was a college student found on a lonely road in texas. >> we figured she had been sexually assaulted and dumped here. >> tough questions for her boyfriend. >> where was i the night before? what had i been doing? when had i last seen her? >> i really thought he could be our killer. >> but while police try to prove it, another attack. >> he's got me by the throat and he's shaking me and yelling at me telling me not to say a word. >> you're a prisoner in this apartment now. >> yes. >> her body had kind of been propped up on to the bed. >> even law enforcement, they thought, what do we have on our hands here? >> there's growing danger because police are looking in the wrong place. >> i lived to tell, and nobody believed me. >> this monster is walking free while they're wasting their time on me. >> can the killer be caught before he kills again? >> it makes you realize how fragile your life is. and that anybody can take it. >>> welcome to "dateline extra." i'm tamron hall. a killer was on the loose in a texas college to

and whether that was, he was exhausted or he was emotionally spent, we don't know, but it was there for him not to be at the driver's wheel and she had no idea what had happened. and others, there were mainly why it is at lost alamo's, afterwards it was dropped. lost alamo's i think there was initially great jubilation that the war was one and then the horrors of it became known and began and there were moral questions that were asked and were debated, scientists formed a group called the association of lost alamo scientists which the acronym for that quickly is called alas. and these were people who were saying we have to figure out what to do about the atomic future and fermi did not join that group. >>. >> i would add to that i believe also as if anybody left theproject , as far as we know there was only one person who left, a man named, a polish physicist who had emigrated to england and came over as part of the english mission and then joseph grotto bought he left at the end of 1944 when it was beginning to come clear that the germans did not have the capacity to build the weapon.

. >> i was drawn to him right away. he was handsome. he was super athletic. >> a dreamy, single dad, wealthy, charming, smitten. >> i had never been spoiled like that. i remember thinking i was like julia roberts in "pretty woman." >> he had been through so much. a mysterious accident at sea. >> he went under and when he came up, he said he no longer saw his wife. >> he was just hysterical. >> they were never able to find her. >> it was a heart-wrenching story. so why then were so many people so suspicious? >> no one knows exactly what happened on that boat. >> an accident? a disappearance. >> you thought, what, she faked her death? >> maybe murder. >> there's no way. absolutely no way. >> i felt like the police were just trying to frame an innocent man. >> now she would be the one to unravel it all. >> i thought i could do this. >> in a dangerous under cover operation. >> my heartbeat was going so fast. he said you need to tell me the truth. >> welcome to "dateline extra." i'm tamron hall. they were living the dream. a good-looking cou

she was beautiful. she was very nice. she dressed impeccably. >> alex's mother joanne knew something was happening when her son asked if he could bring emily to sunday dinner. >> he said, i have met someone. and i would love to be able to bring her over so that you all can get to know herbert. >> and you thought, well, here we go. >> yes, i did. >> back in boone, emily's family heard about the boy from kansas city. >> she called me up and said, i met this fellow. he's italian, and she said, you're going to love his family. they're louder than us. and she fell in love with the whole family immediately. >> emily's sister amy could see they were in love. >> her eyes sparkled. alex's eyes sparkled when they were together. huge smiles on both of their faces. >> the girl who never dated was swept off her feet. emily and alex married may 10th, 2003. >> how many people? >> i would guess at least 400. >> that's big. >> yeah. i mean, for an italian wedding it's maybe midsize. >> the couple had a son nick, and a year later, alex too

that was it. that was it. that was right there power stayed with her. if marshall had been a guy who said, no, i want -- i want it see the president and i demand to see him, probably the jig would have been up. it would have been a different thing. but it was a perfect storm of there was a president isolated from the white house anyway, they did not care for him, did not include him on anything, and you had a woman who was a strong individual who had taken over, and so i think -- garfield was the president. >> by the time mrs. wilson published her memoir, dr. dirken was conveniently dead. do you have any sense of how reliable her account of that conversation is? >> it is funny you bring that up. that is the one thing that the book that came out in 2000 really attacked. and said, dirken didn't say this, why would dirken say this? this is ridiculous. edith just wanted the power. you know, she was this woman who craved power. she pushed the president aside and took over. my rebut to that would be, why in the world would she put all this in her memoir if it

it was very challenging, but in wonderful ways because it was a conversation that was on a level that's-- not that we don't talk about intellectual things, but it was a whole other level and it was good arguments attacking the two of us. >> most of the time. [laughter] >> most of the time and it was a time that was very tough for me to learn the physics as gino said. my father had tried to teach me physics. i studied physics. larry, you probably don't know this that i took a course at the university of colorado, my alma mater, with a famous physicist and he knew i was the daughter of a physicist and he asked me to come up and demonstrate answers on the board for everyone else. if anything freezes you, that will, but there is a tremendous give and take in terms of the way that we thought about the book, conceptualized the book and there were different times that gino's italian personality would come out and my german one would come out. >> no, no, no, no, no. yes, yes, yes c mccarthy was a very healthy interaction and an exciting one. >> how did the title come about, "the pope of physics

it was horrible. bob was dead.and the next thing you know, the sheriff comes out with chuck -- in a t-shirt and -- and i'm like, "what in the world's going on?" and she's like, "i don't know." they drove off with --with chuck. >> reporter: police have some questions for chuck. >> to come in, find your friend dead. >> he wasn't rushing around, upset? >> no. he was calm and that was suspicious in itself. >> maybe you got a crime here? >> yes. . want powerful relief. only new alka-seltzer plus free of artificial dyes and preservatives liquid gels delivers the powerful cold symptom relief you need without the unnecessary additives you don't. loudspeaker: clean up, aisle 4. alka-seltzer plus liquid gels. hey, hang in there. thanks. kleenex. someone needs one. >> reporter: martha ann was a mess. her husband bob dead of an overdose of ptsd medications. and she couldn't even get back into her own house. so her best friend debi and her husband took her in. >> and you know, the three of us just -- you know, "why? what happen

it was stunning. back,e time we got someone would look at the photograph and i was going to write about it. that is how we started out. one of the people working closely with me had other things he wanted to work on. he left in the middle of the project. but that is ok. that is a little stumble, we carried on fairly well. the stumble was, i have so much material to work with for this one artist. the cause of the way i went about it. it to be a long, long time to get through it. finished and the article was locked, i was breathlessly waiting for responses from the public saying yes, now, tell me that you like it. tell me anything. there was nothing. there was no response at all. i said why am i doing this? a few weeks later i committed to doing it. i said i was going to finish it. then i found out they were keeping statistics about how many people were viewing the blog. i was astonished to find out how many people actually read that blog. when the united states declared war on germany, they had to orga

he said he didn't know if it was black or white. he said the body was as white as he was. he said that he only knew it was a human being and that he wasght that emmett till still alive and that this was a hoax. >> a hoax perpetrated by the naacp. the naacpdn't like and this just cemented their hate for the naacp. the sheriff comes up with the and he says, at the trial, that he had investigated other missing person cases and it wasn't emmett till. to exumee did not want the body. scam, on his part. i don't think anybody really believed. >> you say that in the book that nobody actually believed that. >> the jurors did not, but it gave them a reason. the testimony was for 2.5 days out.hey had to weed on theoman could serve jury. there was not a black registered and itntel hassey county was a jury of 12 white men. the jury pool was 120 men and it came down to these 12. on wednesdayins began. prosecution they testified that these men came into the house and emmett till's mother testified. they identified him because of a ring on his finger that have been passed down to him from

there was a lot that was done. it was mainly due to the people that were on this team. it was a remarkable group. i wish i did give you all of the names. i have given you the ones that work very closely with me, i remember them very well, but there were many others as well. gloria is right to emphasize how many people really did take part in this operation. i wanted to mention one other thing. i had the feeling that nunn-lugar was such a good idea, that we should try to expand it and move into other areas. something that also many other people have thought about. we actually did that. in 1995, we created something we called safe and secure dismantlement. this came out of a gore commission initiative. it was in important element of what we were doing with the russians at that point. i think it is not ever given enough credit for what it did. but what we were thinking about were two things. one, cooperation with the russians on security of materials. we developed a fairly elaborate rapport and how that would be done. and the other part was dismantling nuclear warheads. th

i was crying, and i was cold, and i was freaked out. pam was there with me, just a few feet away. things took a turn for the worst, he wrote. then he pointed his gun at me and fired. it just clicked. i can't fully say what happened to me at that point. in fact, he was so scared, he said, he soiled his pajamas. he wrote that his ordeal began after he and pam went to bed on tuesday night, not wednesday, as he originally thought. and it lasted nearly two days. he woke up on thursday morning. i thought my nightmare was over. but i looked down the hall, and i could see pam's legs in the kitchen. that's when he ran out of the house and found his neighbor who called 911. of course, the "world journal" printed all that though the police weren't too happy about it. and eric mullens? >> i remember taking it home and reading it and putting it down and thinking, no, it didn't say that. and picking it back up again. >> but remarkable as ralph's letter was, it still wasn't the whole story. a few weeks after the murder, he mustered up the courage and told the police -- >> while he was held capti

drake was convicted when he was 17. tens year later, he has his boyish looks and an adolescent appetite. >> some of the things i miss the most are peanut butter cap'n crunch. i miss gum. it's such a small thing, but you don't really realize how much you miss it until you haven't had it for 11 years. >> if i hadn't known adam's crime, i would never have guessed it was murder. adam drake had a very child-like quality about him, which is a little surprising to see in a prison environment. he came into prison as a teenager and it's almost as if something stopped in him at that age. >> drake's teen years were troubling, and he frequently ran away from home. >> i was bored, i guess. i'm smart. everything that they kind of taught me, i kind of learned. just didn't do homework, didn't like going. >> running away eventually led drake to murder. he shot and killed a man known for giving troubled teens, including himself and some of his friends, a place to stay. drake testified in court that he killed the man in self-defense. >> i

this was so so inspiring was so exciting. i was married to -- for 40 years.but i wanted to make a couple of statements maybe you can speak to them. do you think that this can exist without the presence of intuition. hindsight talked about the speed of light that was a constant nothing travel faster than the and then they discovered -- as their sense that at the speed of light if you're on a train and the light that the head of the train if i'm traveling at the speed of light with that might be seen. in all these things at these magical imagers come when you're talking about technical stuff. for me it's like a movie that comes in my head. i don't know anything about formulas. do you think that genius shows intuition and how to put that together with wisdom? is within is wisdom the application of that inside knowledge? i do believe that when you're fully focused on something you're sitting in your genius. and that creativity comes. but how do you marry intuition with genius? >> some people consider genius the process. and wisdom is the end result. genius can be

fbi was trying to identify a cuban spy who was in the d.c. area and they knew a few tidbits and they had no idea who the person was and where they worked. >> that's a problem. what they were talking about is the possibility of a cuban agent with access to classified information. cuba does not pose a threat to the united states. the intelligence and even venezue venezuela. >> what makes cuba important. it's the world's biggest trafficker. i say that in the contact. whether it's political or economic or military, every country has interest in the united states. and cuba and the ability to steal secrets and they outperform almost every nation in the world. >> cubans are good for several reasons. at the start of the cold war, the russians and all of them saw the cubans as useful partners that would not draw attention like they would. the russians, the poles. every service in the world trained the cubans. cuba exploited that they are not a threat. they are getting more clients and situations that they have chinese and russians to do. they can do i

it was... it was tough. and it was nasty. (applause) >> paul ryan gets up after it's all over and he makes a quick exit. >> narrator: the president's top economic adviser, gene sperling, ran after ryan. >> sperling jumped up like he'd been sitting in an electric chair, rushed out to mollify him. >> all i was trying to do was to let him know that, uh, that we did not know they were coming. his response was that he felt the president had poisoned the well. >> president took to task in his remarks yesterday. >> ryan was deeply offended by having been put into that position, and his republican friends were even more angry. >> president obama blasted paul ryan's budget this weekend. >> that was a personal bitch slap, primo insult. >> narrator: the republicans were outraged. >> ...furious that the president was so partisan. >> narrator: that afternoon, ryan and cantor went on the offensive. >> what we got was a speech that was excessively partisan, dramatically inaccurate and hopelessly inadequate to addressing our country's pressi

danny was aware that this was this is very powerful magician is what he was. and they gave danny sense of security. thinking he thought he was always worried that something is wrong. and that it amos approved of it must be right. i think that was part of the dynamic. so amos settled him down that way. amos is also so preemie confident and so for a time they treated danny's ideas critically. there there is unconditional love and danny responded well to that. so there was a magic and that, i think the taming of danny for ten years is one of the miracles of the relationship. the ability to keep him from flipping on him, on the ideas. but anyway, when i was going through bae-2's filing cabinet. there's breakup there's breakup letters with danny and them. there's this drama.th and among them, there's a stack of papers that were clearly preparation for phone call with danny. and it would be bullet points of all of the things danny was upset about. and a mrs. response. the argument he would make in response. this clearly happened over, and over, and over, and over. s

he was a product of the place in which he was born, the time in which he was born. but more specific than that i think i would be very arrogant and foolish to try to comment -- i spent five years working on this very small slice of winston churchill's life. maybe if i had 20 more years to look at the entirety of his life, i would be better able to answer that. but i am sure there are many, many people who could address that better than i could. yes, sir. >> hello. you mentioned that churchill learned about gorilla warfare. when we were talking about the mediterranean campaign and churches resistance to d-day, he became very enamored with guerilla warfare. he got a lot about treating prisoners properly. did he perhaps learn the wrong lessons about military strategy? still fighting a victorian war rather than modern war? ms. millard: the entire british army learned a lot about were fair. it was completely different. in prepared them for world war i. there was a journalist at that period. just a quick side story about winston churchill at that time. as the all know, he

my microsoft work was when i was very young, starting when i was 17 and that was my primary focus until i was 53 when i made the transition. for the early part of that, i was kind of maniacal. i was not married, did not have kids, i did not believe in the weekends. until i was 30 i did not believe in vacations at all. so it was incredibly fulfilling to write the code and be hands-on, stay up all night. so until my 20's and 30's, i think -- so for my 20's and 30's, i think of microsoft thing was perfect. i did not have the breadth of knowledge that would let me play my role as the foundation. i think it was good preparation, and then after i met melinda, got married and had kids, i was looking at the world more broadly, thinking about where the wealth should go, and i would say they were equally difficult. you always know you could be doing better. that you shared -- you should learn more, getting and building the team. thinking about things in a better way. so you see the positive results but you always want to do even better. david: let's talk about microsoft. you started that when you

i was 16 months old at the time he was killed, and he was only 22 years old.t was different. , going toerent school, you know. --,dn't have a daddy in a you know? it was a different feeling. very fortunate in that i had grandparents who were very loving, very kind, and really raised me. -- butght me the things i still missed having a dad and growing up with a dad. school and other children talk about their mom and dad, i could talk about my mom and my grandparents, but i didn't have a dad. it means so much to the entire family. he was a true american hero. he gave his life for his country. it's been an inspiration, that in itself, to his entire family. [indiscernible] speak sittingo down. about a month ago, i was playing andis and tore a hamstring collapsed on my tennis racket and broke a rib. so it's still somewhat painful to stand, although walking isn't too bad. my name is david coley, and i have written six books on world war ii, the latest being "seeing compendiumhich is a of photographs from the war with about what became of the individuals and those pho

that was something he was pursuing as in a republican. he this was an alternative to the democratic program. >> the eisenhower era is often painted as a sleepy time where most americans lived quiet prosperous lives, but in fact, it was a roaring time in american history. the cold war had begun and the nuclear age was upon us. for all the surface on, it was anxiety coming, with another war that could start ending humanity. civil rights, recessions and the 50s weren't always the happy days something they were. and that is why those three days in january, a transition from eisenhower to kennedy, from republican to democrat, from the old guard to the new frontier were a crucial time in our history. >> the turnover, the keys to the closet probably gave them some pause. he didn't know kennedy very well. there was a lot of rhetoric during that campaign that happened during the campaign where perhaps fear would play a bigger role in national life. >> the times were indeed changing. that was both a promise and a threat. >> ike through a speech, it

who did he think he was, and what was he? on august 24, 1855, he wrote his intimate friend joshua speed with whom he had shared a room in springfield and have was now presiding over his kentucky plantation as a slaveholder. you inquire where i now stand, wrote lincoln. that is a disputed point. i think i am a wig, but others say there are no whigs, and that i am a abolitionist. when i was in washington i voted for the proviso as good as 40 times, and i never heard of anyone trying to un-whig me for that. i now do no more than impose the extension of slavery -- oppose the extension of slavery. when lincoln was a proviso man in the congress before the great whig victory of 1848, he was living in another era. now his party was rapidly coming apart around him under the pressure of circumstances. how would he align himself with these events? that consumed his thoughts more than the disputed point for others, but also for himself. not least in the forefront of his thinking was the threat of the know nothings, attracting many of my

belgium.h, i was in that was where winston churchill was stationed for four months in the beginning of 1916. throughout that period, the trench lines stayed totally static. it did not move at all. people were getting killed pretty much every day, but they were not moving at all. you don't get that in the second world war. you don't get that anywhere, even at monte cassino. there is no active theater of war where the front lines stayed totally static for as long as four months. marshall learned plenty of lessons aside from the strategic ones. he learned about what general hamilton has called the arctic loneliness of command. especially by watching his boss, blackjack pershing. years later, he recalled how pershing had once leaned back in his car as he returned to his headquarters after a long tour of inspection during the first world war. those who saw him took his attitude for discouragement. as he wrote to his wife, from that small incident the rumor spread things were going very badly. as he told catherine, "i cannot allow myself to be angry. that would be fatal. it would be too exha

role because he was wily, he was crafty, he was odysseus, the german resistance.some have called him the traveling salesman of the german resistance and he certainly sold the pope on participating in these plots to kill hibbler. -- to kill hitler. just try to move through this without getting bogged down in details. if you're interested in how this played out, the blow-by-blow, read my book. germany's military intelligence service was the key to these plots to kill hitler within germany. they wanted to get rid of hitler, because they thought he was leaving germany into disaster. and there was a conservative part of german society that saw the nazis, basically they call them brown bolsheviks, and they thought traditional conservative germany would be destroyed by hitler. their goal was to kill hitler and the purpose of the enterprise was to make a separate peace after hitler's death. they needed someone who could interlocute with great britain. they found an answer to this problem in the person of the pope. they sent joseph mueller to the vatican in october 1939, a

she was barely 4 when her dad was arrested. >> what was it like for you growing up?it was horrible. i went to a small school. i'm sorry. and we had father/daughter dances. and that wasn't fun. to go and not being able to tell people why you couldn't go. so it was hard. >> amanda's brother richard jr. was 2 when his father was sent away. he tells me a story about how when he was a young child, he would pretend his dad was a cartoon hero who fought crime. >> when i was a kid and stuff, i would imagine my dad would be a power ranger. i didn't know what to think. might as well say that he's the dude on the tv screen that i think is cool. it really helped me a lot. my dad was just out there fighting crime basically. >> the irony of that is not lost on me. and hearing it was heart breaking. especially if rosario was wrongfully convicted which is what his wife believes. >> i'm like, that's impossible. he was in florida. i thought it was insane. >> at the time, she and richard were living in new york and she remembers wiring money to him in florida. >> there is no question.

when i was there, there was no recollection of that event. in fact, the moment i decide today study her thinking influence, the death and life of great american cities in particular was when i realized she hasn't mentioned and the great transition from modernism to post modernism. this evolved into my graduate thesis, the first of three drafts or versions of my book. at the time, my particular obsession was with jacobs' place in a check chuirl and urban history, in those years the post war, post modern period seemed to have been launched in 1999 -- 1996 with a treaty, specially concerned with cities and urbanism. in reading it i became very interested in how conceptual of complexity corresponded with jacobs' understanding of it and even shocked me in reading them side by side. first, although i discovered that jacobs had immediately made impact on architecture culture in 1960's and even at harvard despite having criticized the school by name, contemporary scholarship at the time barely considered impact because so little was known about the s

the problem was not only that the trial was inconsistent with the statute, it was that it denied the specific protections of liberty so carefully incorporated into the constitution. such a power could be exercised only when ordinary law had collapsed, when there were no courts toed a min ter. hence, he developed the specific rule that should govern this case. he of course articulated the great principle, how to apply it. the specific rule, marshall law can never exist where the courts are open and in the proper and unobstructed exercise of their jurisdiction. and, it must be confined the locality of actual war. there had been no justification for military trial in indiana, far from the actual theater of battle, where the courts were open and had never been closed. if milligan committed the crimes, let him be tried, quoted by an established court and an impartial jury. the supreme court had put americans general commitment to due process and civil liberty. a commitment often articulated in what you might call constitutional politics, the debates that i had just described that were ren

i was the best -- probably the best student i was. in college, i was okay.ecause i was afraid not to be. [ laughter ] so, you know, you'd come in if you got in trouble. you might get whacked. you might get some knuckles smacked. so, this -- i'm not going to say who he was because there may be a lawsuit. [ light laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> but he had been -- he was kind of a good guy, but he would get into trouble a lot. he's one of our pals. and she would berate him consistently, and sometimes he deserved to be berated, i guess. it's all relative, and she whacked him. and i'm a little kid, and i'm thinking -- i'm like me. i'm going, "hey, man, i'm just trying to behave myself for eight years." [ light laughter ] do you know what i mean? and she whacked him, and my hand to god, she goes like this. she goes, boom. and he goes, boom. [ laughter ] and he punches a nun. [ laughter ] and me and my buddies just went, "holy [ bleep ]." [ laughter and applause ] we just went -- >> seth: yeah. >> "oh, my god!" everybody -- it was just silence. it was silence. and i t

you looked up at the ceiling and it was open piping. it was barebones. and a lot of trump pictures all over the walls. >> narrator: as key advisors, trump chose his children. running things behind the scenes, his son-in-law, jared kushner. >> it's this family business. with ivanka and her brothers eric and don jr., and ivanka's husband jared, we had this kind of council of advisors aroundul. >> narrator: the campaign had a fundamental rule: "let trump be trump." >> i used to liken my role to being a jockey on a great racehorse-- let's say american pharoah. and my job was to maybe drive that horse into the corners a little bit and put some blinders on, but you got to let it run. >> donald trump is back on the road campaigning at... >> narrator: he caused controversy from the very start. >> trump trying to secure the evangelical vote with three campaign events in iowa today. >> narrator: in iowa, as he was interviewed by republican pollster frank luntz... >> and he and i get into an exchange over john mccain, because he is taking shots at mccain and i thou

was that he was a crook through and through, and what's more, was a jolly crook. it was a friend of warren harding, the president. he was a younger man. he was a curious man in that nobody seemed to know really what his path was. harding was just made senator in 1915. the two men got along well, and he became friends. and when harding became president, he appointed director of the bureau of law insurance. became wrapped into the bigger veterans bureau and forbes was raised up to become director of the veterans bureau, which is now the v.a. from -- now i've lost my train of thought. brian: let me jump in, because i wanted to read a quote from your book that explains what warren harding became president in 1921. here's what you write, from a journalist named mark sullivan about the world, the atmosphere in the united states in 1921. it's a little long, but it set s the stage. "the year was distinguished by postwar malaise, discontent, dissolution, and a kind of fretful sullenness, the sense of living in a cockeyed world, drinking and flouting the liquor laws, no wea

it just was -- it was creativity was -- they loved it and encouraged it. missing right now. along with mary, i'm missing that wonderful place that was mary tyler moore and "hill strestreet blues" and "st. elsewhere". >> what was her role on the air? >> well, her show was such a big hit that she said i would like to -- went to cbs and said i would like to do a show called "the bob new hahart show" and t said where would you like it. her show was such a huge hit and they wanted more, just because of the quality of it and the creativity again because you were tackling everything that hadn't been attacked. for instance suzanne and i i think were the first couple on television that slept in the same bed. >> no kidding? >> it sounds weird to say today but before that everybody had twin beds going back to lucy. >> yeah, yeah, and how she was this you know single successful back on her show, journalist which was breaking all kinds of glass ceilings, i know at that time. what was she like though when the cameras weren't rolling? what made her laugh off set or what

the war was going on. he was not feeling well and everything was moved to the white house. he took the oath on -- at the -- one of to ball -- ball copies at the white house. roost had four inaugurations. barack obama is about to tie franklin d. roosevelt's record. thaw could that be? he we barack obama was naught raid televize. the 21 is in a sunday, and he took the oath on january 20th january 20th and then he had one publicly on the 21st. hires eisenhower in 1957, on sunday, private ceremony. inaugural trace. a very old picture. this is from 1865, this is abraham lincoln's second inauguration, said "with malice toward none, with charity for all.

issued and the notice was issued was provided with misinformation so since if it was already clear anddmittedly misinformation why not just why isn't the act cancelled and restaged and the notice in question was issued by the department of building inspection so they'll have jurisdiction over issuing public school but my understanding it was a matter of the equity not involved. >> but a summary of what of the permitted including a deck that was not part of the deal; correct? that's my point. >> this is based on - once a project is submitted the project gets submitted and a - there's a project depiction son day one of the planning department has no ability to change that project description when there are changes solely one the purview of the department of building inspection to modify or change any project description we don't have the ability to change the notice and certainly the responsibility of the project sponsor and the department of building inspection to update any description is accurate we rely on- this is not uncommon i mean the scopes change often we rely on the not the pr

he was an educated man. he was also a big and very active communists. and the fbi file opened in 1941 by the time i was close when he died it had went over 700 pages. while i cannot prove it, it's in my thesis that her brother held her back. you have to think about the era we are talking about. at the end of world war ii in the beginning of the cold war the other opportunities that open up to her she had various ambitions but none of which come to fruition. this is also the time of her brother's greatest notoriety. her brother finally goes to prison himself in 1951. he goes to prison for refusing to name names. he suffered contempt of court and he spent six months behind bars. as a footnote, working on this book and learning about that is part of the reason that i am always very uneasy when we try to punish people when they believe stuff that we don't happen to agree with. so he goes to prison and this is the end of her public career. this is 1951. he comes out six months later eunice isn't there either but they were strange probably for the rest of the

i was a skinhead when i was 12 years old. the later ones, i used to have a lot of friends i got into glam rock like david bowie and rod stewart and the faces. that was like my big inspiration. when you're very what'd you call it, you know, that kind of set the stage for stuff that i would like. which was the next step. >> and i couldn't play. >> yeah. >> and i thought i was playing like david beau we. >> in your mind? >> in my mind i was. what came out was kind of like -- well, you know what, you can't diss what you did because this album is 40 years old. this lp belongs to my director jonathan, he's had obviously for a long time. this album is 40 years old, and what's amazing about this is, it is the only album you fans know that the sex pistols ever did and it only took this one album to get them inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. so i asked mr. jones, how does one do one record and end up in the rock and roll hall of fame? >> i have no idea. i have no idea. nothing was planned when you're 19 and stupid. you don'

how was it that this process was allowed to unfold? were internally divided and largely powerless in the face of the nazi onslaught, and every other relevant party always had something else more important to do. germans themselves, who might have been shocked by what the nazis seemed to be encouraging, actually thought in 1933, about resigning. one of the most little known facts about the history of the third reich is that the ambassadors to washington, london, pairs paris, and oslo, consulted in spring raith after hitler was appointed whether they should all resign. because they thought this was a potentially criminal government. and in the end only one of them did. the man who was the ambassador here in washington. the others stayed, and a man named -- the ambassador in oslo, who later became the second man in the german foreign minimum ministry said why. he said, one does not abandon one's country because it has a bad government. leader otherwise german industries didn't behave much better. number of them thought the future was dark

presidency was gone.itical capital spent, and barack obama was staring at a likely defeat. >> there are people who think that if obama had been more of a schmoozer that maybe people like you were too partisan that somehow he needed to reach out. >> just one golf game away from singing kumbayah. give me a break. >> desperate, obama changed gears. first, he apologized to the country. >> i take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the american people. >> then he barnstormed for the bill. across america and in congress. >> i may not be the first president to take up the cause of health care reform. i am determined to be the last. >> yes, we will. >> freedom. >> yes, we will. >> freedom. >> and he made more concessions, giving up the public option, which would have created a government insurance program that would have competed with private companies. >> we ended up having to wrestle this thing to the ground in a way that was less than ideal from my perspective. >> finally, march 21, 201

the trip was tough, it was dusty, it was uncertain about where he was staying, he was worried about his horses, but in charleston, they put him up in a nice home on church street. you can visit it. it was a fine home. this was a city home. he stayed for a week courtesy of the city of charleston. and it was staffed. i think even washington's staff caught a break on this week. washington enjoyed seeing sights of the american revolution that he had never seen before on the southern tour. places he had only read about in reports. in trials and he enjoyed seeing ltrie. tree -- fort mou he had some free time in charleston, was able to ride horseback and get around the city some i'm a meet the for kinds of people -- city some, and meet al qaeda people. --meet all kinds of people. some 30 women gathered to greet him at the house and he received them. i don't know what they resolved that day, but that gives you a good feel for some of the different things that happen. in savannah, georgia, there is very little left that washington would have seen. for whatever reason, charleston has withstood th

it was a sacred union, the institution was a sacred document. this is roofus choate, a massachusetts senator, who talked about a united, love iin and christian america. he was actually a whig senator and actually refused to join the republican party in the 1850s because it was a party of division. and he wanted to make sure this was a national, he had the sacred vision of the nation. so america was a christian nation and the cause of the war in the north, at least initially, was that god especial ordained this nation and to divide this nation would have been seen as a sin. an incredible wrong doing. the confederacy believed it was on their south. some of you may have memorized the constitution. what were the saturday morni morning,schoolhouse rock. we the people in order to form a -- i can't say the preamble without singing that song, but what u yo see here is actually the preamble to the united states of america constitution. now, i'm going to read it and listen or read, try to figure out what's added to this that is not in the original united

all i was doing was helping people. that's all i was doing, with their write-ups. >> whether it was intentionally or not intentionally, you still got caught up in it because you were in the vicinity, right? i know you think you are doing your job. you're talking to the inmate. but this is how things happen that get you caught up and get you locked up, so -- >> yeah. i learned the hard way. >> yeah, so you want to come back to level two? >> i would like to, yes. >> yeah. and then tell me why i should let you come back to level two. >> well, ever since i have been there, ever since i have been in prison, i have not screwed up at all. >> right. is this the first misconduct report you've had? >> this is the first report i have ever had. >> okay. and how long have you been locked down? >> over a year and a half. >> okay. >> i mean, i will admit, maybe it was my fault because i was in the wrong area, okay? >> right. >> but i guess i learned the hard way. >> right. >> i mean, it won't happen again. >> all right. well, that's t

the police chief was told there was gunfire on the beach.e was just five minutes away with his men in the car. they had two assault rifles and bullet—proof vests. but in his statement the police chief admits he was afraid. instead of going straight to where the shooting was, the police chief decided to carry on down this road and to go to this police station over here, in a desperate search for more weapons. there was also a horse back patrol just a mile—and—a—half along the beach, but they didn't respond. their excuse? their pistols were no match for the gunman‘s kalashnikov. another police patrol on a quad bike claimed to have a flat tyre. as rezgui moved into the hotel, the police chief was still at the station. finally the police chief and his men left the station and made their way down to the beach towards the hotels. two other police officers then arrived by boat, armed with an assault rifle. their admissions are the most shocking of all. 0ne takes off his police shirt, so he won't be shot. the other faints out of fear. when the polic

i was told he was there. host: what is the first thing you remember seeing of saddam hussein that you did not know about because you had studied him for years? guest: one of the first things to discover was his intense interest in writing, his view of himself as a writer, and his disengagement in the final years from running the government on a day-to-day basis. he maintained his hand in some issues that were of importance to him, but for the most part he had turned over the day-to-day operations to other senior aides, trusted aides. we had always thought of him as a master manipulator at the cia, someone pulling the strings and plotting the next step. that was not the person i met. i met someone who was an elderly gentleman who was interested -- getting on in years and finding himself interested in other pursuits. particularly writing. saddam -- i don't want to be uncharitable, but he wrote some of the worst poetry you can imagine. it was really awful. he was working on a novel, and when he was captured, the

he probably was, too. at that time, that was probably why sessions was denied. host: was there one or two examples that sunk the sessions's nomination back in 1986? what sealed the deal for him not being confirmed? guest: i think there were two things. you may have clips on it. i do not follow the hearings one ofosely, but i think the complaints was saying he referred to -- he was a young african-american man and said that sessions referred to him as boy. there were other insinuations, but none of them were confirmed. it was just one of those things. it was a partisan thing. as susan mentioned a while ago, the confirmations were not 51-49 at that time. i think they were maybe 60-40. he was denied because of partisanship. with him being on the judiciary committee and being friends with lee from vermont and kennedy from massachusetts, they denied sessions, who is a very conservative person. he is very conservative. at that time, i don't know that sessions really used that term, boy, because that has always been derogatory to african-american men to refer to them a

he said behind the scenes mary was a fighter. >> it was very evident, she was a hard worker. she add dance class. she made deep footprints wherever she walked. >> nischelle spoke to the producer of the bob new hart show. >> you said she was sick. >> she had diabetes and was losing her eyesight. >> what did you miss most about mary? >> her smile. what a great smile. >> if you could give a message to her, just about what she meant to you in your career, what would you say? >> probably what millions of people are saying. right now. thank you. >> you know, bob really did love mary. let me show you something interesting. main street on our studio lot is mary tyler moore avenue and intersects with new hart's dream. so often when we laughed along with mary, she on her ground breaking television show was changing the way women were perceived. >> i think that she made it okay that if you didn't have a date, if you didn't have a boyfriend, you could still do that. >> no. >> why? >> why? >> she dealt with bosses who were sometimes grouchy and had outdated views and i think what is amazi

i was grossed out, i was offended.p ] wanted to grab back. >> trump jumped to quiet the controversy and after diving briefly in the polls, he started rising again. >> it was fascinating. because everything he did was what candidates have been told for decades and multiple election cycles not to do. >> i think donald trump was very popular because he had hats. hillary, i don't know what she had. maybe it was like, like, a wallet or some socks or perhaps a skirt or a sundress. no, donald trump just had a hat. >> well, the best thing out of the election this year is watching "saturday night live." i love all the spoofs. >> indeed, comedians had a field day with it all. >> she's the one with the bad temperament. she's always screaming, she's constantly lying, her hair is crazy, her face is completely orange, except around the eyes, where it's white. >> "snl" gave donald trump a really big platform this year. thanks, "snl". >> but you know what, no ruins, it's like outback steakhouse, except a president wins at the end. >>

he was unpopular because he was suspected. the fact that adams said things like that, he said i hope it makes a popular with us. i just love the self-deprecation and humility. adams then said, speaking of humility, reason number three, you can write 10 times better than i can. so thomas jefferson picked up his pen and he drafted the declaration. he did not import anything original as far as warning or sentiment. what he wanted to do was capture the american mind. to express the american mind in a tone and tenor fitting for the occasion. when finally, the declaration of independence was ratified by the continental congress on july 4, 1776 . when finally, it was printed in newspapers. of course, we know that the signing of the declaration did not occur until several weeks later in august of 1776. then thomas jefferson attached his name alongside all the other delegates of the continental congress. there is nothing that alerted the public to the fact that jefferson made this contribution. there was really nothing that could cause
