one was 12, one was ten. he wasphone, he was asking for directions, he lived in lancashire, and just wanted to get out of the city. he had no idea how to get away, he couldn't hail a taxi. as i say, we have seen police officers in taxis to get here. and a man who lived in the city came down here to offer to give the man left, just to him away. so people who do live in the city are coming out and helping other people. we have seen another young man with bottles of water, just handing them out to people who have gone to the concert. so many people are confused here. they just cannot so many people are confused here. theyjust cannot get their heads around what has happened here. and just to confirm from greater manchester police that they have carried out a controlled explosion in the cathedral gardens area. you felt it, it was just behind you. yes, you might have heard it as well. it was around 300m... you might be able to see the blue flashing lights. just to the left is cathedral gardens. we think that is where this

was in charge. there was no question about who was in command. another thing that mosby and his leadership and his skills made -- made a great effort to use was intelligence. information about the enemy. mosby was known to go out on scouts many times himself. , who wrote books about the rangers, said he was the fastest outer he ever seen. on a scout and be out for a couple of days, combat, take a small break and go out again. forad a tremendous knack the manually knew the area and you had scouting skills. you see on the slide some of the men he picked as his scouts who could lead him. in many cases of the rangers needed to one of these men would know another route. b waiting be at point there because they when a circuitous route. it helped tremendously from start to finish. rarely was he surprised by union -- often thete union was surprised by his activity. mosby'sson talked about estimate of men. many of the men remarked that he could meet a man and maybe not even talk to him, just look at to join when he wanted the unit mosby would say i don't w

there was no doubt about it. >> but he was more than just a fun kid, he was engaged in the world. >> this was not your typical american teenager. >> no. >> kind of wants to talk about, you know, sports stars and you know, maybe the latest fashion and. >> no. >> not at all. >> no, it's like so what do you think about the situation in ukraine? you know. >> by the end of the school year in 2014, diren had a solid circle of friends. he was with another exchange student this one from ecuador, robby pazmino. >> we had so many things in common. the same wishes and dreams. >> they're a package deal. >> you see one, you're going to see the other. >> oh, yeah. >> saturday april 26th was no different. the boys spent the evening playing video games and listening to music in randy and kate's basement. >> i went down 10:30 or so that night. told him maybe crank the music volume down a little bit. >> but around midnight, diren was bored. and suggested he and robby take a walk. >> it was kind of, i'm just really tired, diren. come on. like okay. >> so while kate and randy slept upstairs, they slipped

was rushing out? what was it like, what was the explosion like from her perspective? what was the explosion like from her perspective? she just said she heard this wang and she just literally grabbed hold of my daughter's hand and just ran down the stairs. that is all she said. she was literally feet away from me. she got to the top of the stairs, where the exit was and the explosion happened, and we just heard one explosion. definitely, definitely heard one explosion. and like i say, from when the explosion and when she heard it too when she got in my car, it was seconds. because i was parked literally ten foot from the exit, from the door, on the old ridge street drive, parked across the road. so you know, she didn't have time to react. she literally got my daughter and there was all the people screaming. and as soon as the explosion happened, she literally just ran down the stairs and ran away. but they knew something was awry. they definitely knew something was right. they weren't sure what it was right. they weren't sure what it was but they knew something was rig

was always the glass half full. a ball of sunshine. she was, you know, no matter if it was a gray, rainy day out or if it was super sunny day, she was always happy. >> reporter: and that happiness, that optimism, touched everyone who crossed her path. >> i mean, she was a figurehead. i mean, i used to joke with her she should run for mayor of everyone here knows you. everyone. >> she was always working on a fundraising project of some sort. anything anybody asked her to do, she would, you know, get involved. >> reporter: in fact, she and bob were known for their generosity. bob would write the big checks, and together they'd donate their time. >> what causes were they interested in? >> oh, i think -- i don't know one that they didn't support in syracuse frankly. >> what was it about them that they wanted to give back? >> i think there's a certain amount of responsibility one feels when you live in a small community. >> reporter: but like most couples, there were rough patches. bob's practice took a hit financially when a big health insurer dropped him after a billing disput

it was not going to fully the countries of south america around. it was going to get along with them. it was going to be their friend. the reason he was doing this was to undermine any overtures by japan or germany to those countries, to make them into friends. in august, 1938, he traveled to kingston, queens university, where he accepted an honorary degree, and in the course of this visit, wrote a declaration that the united states would not stand idly by if canada were attacked or invaded. the primus of canada a few days later in a speech that she was caught off guard and was not expecting this -- said candidate would do the same. it was not that roosevelt was afraid of an attack from canada, what an attack through canada if canada got involved in a war and some enemy would be able to attack the united states. so by 1938, the hemisphere was relatively safe, relatively safe in south america and to the north in canada. in addition to this at the beginning of 1938, roosevelt had a great idea that perhaps the problems of the world could be solved having the leaders of the major countries get t

was courageous. that he had ice water in his veins. i know that's a clichÉ, but this was a man who wasabout as close to fearless as i have ever seen or read about. i think he exhibited that even as a youth. i think he was ambitious to a certain extent. i'm not certain if he always knew what direction he wanted that with being so much spoiled home and being told he was the apple of his mother's eye and that he was very again, he was bubbling with self-confidence. when he read his memoirs and other things he writes, he's very self-deprecating to a certain point. then you realize that maybe just attend disingenuous. start ofrom the very mosby's life, and later as you grow older, it was john singleton mosby's way, or it was the highway. he did not broker people disputing with him, especially as a commander later, as an older man, he challenged people at least 2, 3, 4 times to duels after the war. ois was in on remand -- an rnery man, and had great self-confidence, that translated well into his ranger career. but not someone, even though johnson was mosby did not drink, he was not someone i

their main political idea was they thought that taft was a horrible president, and the way to save the country was to bring theodore roosevelt back to the white house. brian: why theodore roosevelt? mr. snyder: part of it was a cold personality, but also roosevelt saw the wisdom of their ideas about labor and minimum wage laws, the rights of labor unions. that was the principal issue around 1911, 1912, given the industrial acts and unsafe working conditions and low wages that were plaguing men, women, and children at the time. brian: where were you when this became an idea for a book? mr. snyder: i was living in a house not far from the actual house of truth. i was living at 1920 s street on the northwest side of dupont circle, about two blocks away. brian: when? mr. snyder: 10 years ago or so. brian: how did you find out about the house? mr. snyder: i found out about the house by reading history. ted white, who is a wonderful historian and biographer of oliver wendell holmes, wrote in his daughter footnotes -- in his bibliographical notes that not much has been written about the house of truth. a

was going to. he thought this was going to be a declaration of war. it wasn't. it was just a declaration of how the world was going to be shaped after the war, and when roosevelt went back to the united states he said, no, we just had a meeting, and exchange of opinions and things of that kind. it seemed as though the united states would never get involved in the war. on december 7, sunday, december 7, 1941, the japanese without any warning bombed the american fleet at pearl harbor in hawaii. both roosevelt and churchill expected the japanese were expanding in asia would attack somewhere in southeast asia but they thought they would never dare attack a british or american base. this was pearl harbor then. the next day, roosevelt went to congress and ask for declaration with only onewar dissension, a pacifist who had voted against war in 1917. so britain and the united states were now engaged in war. britain immediately declared war on japan. indeed it might be disastrous for war in europe because material might be taken from europe and sent to the pacific, except the s

it was the need to get those troops to korea in the 1950's that was the first time that the military was truly desegregated. >> this only happened because of the freedom movement. it didn't happen -- most of the see was a southern town -- washington dc was a southern town. when i got here in the 60's as an intern. it was clear it was not desegregated. there were certain places that if you are black, you didn't go. are out ofately, we time. i can tell to the three of you forever. please give a thank you to our guests.

there was no photo in 1923 was he refused to have his photo taken next to brandeis. what is true, mcreynolds was dozea o brandeis and cor who was second jewish justice. and they think that was based on their religion. host: stone had just gotten on the court in 1925, what was unique about his confirmation process? guest: first supreme court justice to testify before the united states senate and testified about a discrete issue when he was attorney general. but he was the first person ever to testify. the first person to testify about any subject was felix frankfurter in 1939. after frankfurter testified in 1939, every supreme court nominee testified after frankfurter. he started the tradition but the first person to testify was stone. the person we haven't talked about and the shadow figure in the house is louis brandeis because his nomination by wilson. mcrenolts had become a huge conservative force on the court. ere were gasps on the senate floor that he could nominate him because he had a radical reputation. and most of the people that was outraged was william howard taft whose comments priva

e, it was and'-- it birthday, and i was a reporter at cbs news in washington. were got out that he was taking his wife out to dinner for her birthday. it was a to believe cbs news exclusive, so i was sent to the restaurant with a camera crew. they were 10,000 reporters and cameras, the worst scene you have ever seen, pushing to get a picture. torybody crowds around x and ask him what a big questions. -- crowds around nixon to ask him watergate questions. i turned to my right, and there is pat nixon, pushed to the side. i was with helen thomas, who knew pat nixon quite well. pat turned to helen. tears are streaming down her face. she says, helen, can you believe with what has gone on, he took time to take me to dinner? i almost burst into tears. i wanted to say, look what he has done to you. but she was just overwhelmed that he had done this tiny gesture, after all he put her through. mentioned that there are invisible tripwires for first ladies. you mentioned a couple. this person wants similar tripwires. -- wants some more tripwires. until about the 1830's, it was the unwritten rule t

like jane was the parent and michael was the child, and dave was the way. >> you had the sense that she was pushing dave away? >> yeah. i think that was a stress on the marriage. >> that there was stress was pretty clear, said rebecca. >> for a while, every time she would call me, it seemed like it was to vent about something she didn't like about what dave was doing. >> so evidence was carefully sifted for months. and then in february 2010, jane laut was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, and the story, said investigators, was chillingly clear. >> this was an execution. she had lured him out, shot him from behind, and then egressed on him, shot him a second and third time, stepped back and shot him a fourth time, came up super close, and shot him two more times, one to the back of the head. >> there seemed to be plenty of evidence. jane's odd behavior, her lie about a prowler, and on top of it all, the gun in the grandfather clock. so jane hired a lawyer, and pleaded not guilty. and the story that came out then turned the whole case on

the pentagon benning was a phony thing -- benghazi was a phony thing and gowdy himself was using a privityerver. all these factors contribute but there was a very concerted effort where in the last ten days, when comey went and put his thumb on the scales by bringing up this phony e-mail thing, when he knew the russian investigation very serious level was the top spies was connections to this people ways going on. my question is, wouldn't all these questions -- with all these factors contribute towards her being very cagey and mismanaging and not having a specific message? because i think in the end her policies were not very well reported by the press. >> i think if you want to find her policies they were easy to find. i would be hesitant to look at a campaign and say, wow, there's a campaign against her, and it was unfair there was a campaign against her. when you -- we haven't talk about this before but talk about russia. here's an example of something we knew. we knew that the russians had been trying to tamper with our election. we knew they were behind the dnc hacks. the was good rea

was leaving. there was a huge bang. no one knew what it was. ng over seats to get away. we diner where the bank came from. —— we don't know where the bang. people were evacuated. there was a huge rush. people were going out to the fire door. there is only one entrance, the main entrance. that was near where the bomb went off. everybody was just really panicked. how far was the hospitality area away from where this happened? halfway up the arena. you could just see the exit. there was seating around the area. the explosion was pretty loud. right, so you immediately came to the conclusion this was a bomb, not an explosion. yes. when everyone left the box, you could basically smell explosives in the area. at we ran to the corridor where the food was. you could smell that it was an explosive. how long did it take you to get out of the arena, out of the concert venue?m was pretty quick. i mean, the whole arena empty pretty quickly. we held back because we did not want to get stormed. we are pretty local. we just made a run for it. there were many you

was reserved. he was not a man who pats people on the back. he was so reserved that sometimes he intimidated people on first meeting. there was a young man who described his first meeting with madison this way. the impression made on me was of sternness rather than the mildness and suavity that i later characterized him with. he was resisting james monroe which he encountered him. it is possible that he and monroe are discussing something serious and that accounted for it. it was also possible that madison, reserved is turned look for strangers. tucker said he never received madison that way again. he was not the only one to note how stern he could be on first meeting. he gave away nothing. it can also be aware that he was very different in public and private. in private he was witty, appreciate jokes that were not fit for the drawing room. once it is said that his humor led the british ambassador -- he was not a tall man. he was five foot six inches, that may have been exaggerated. 5'4" inches may be closer to the mark. he was a nice-looking gentlem

wherever there was a cause he was out there mobilizing. he was a politician and many of the straits he brought into public square in many ways in behalf of - because he was a charismatic personality, with extraordinary sense of wit, he was able to mobilize audiences. specifically young people. he loved talking to young people. he did 70 campuses a year. that plus a biweekly newspaper column, editing a magazine, running a show. people wanted his endorsement. as much as they ever did. and again, it is too bad that he did not live a few more years to really perfect his skills on the internet. he mastered every form of communication of his time. wherever you where he would find you. or you would find him. whether it is on your newspaper or whether it is watching pbs. where the news was being made that he is now residing in honorary board it would be front page news. that kind of thing. he had tremendous impact. and we still see it today. my students, same thing as yours good when he died, they knew that an important person died. because they kept get

but it was one that was for all intents and purposes because of the president's decision it was out ofo those great professionals in our military to execute this mission. >> they were accustomed to operating in the dark. they were accustomed to landing in compounds where they weren't sure what was behind closed doors. these guys were all trained to do that. and a lot of them had as much gray hair as you and me. and, you know if you passed them on the street, you might -- if they were in civilian clothes you might think they were accountants or doctors or, you know, worked at home depot, you wouldn't know. >> on the big monitor, admiral mccraven, the head of special operations appeared from afghanistan. while leon panetta appeared from cia headquarters nearby in langly, virginia. the two men provided a kind of split screenplay by play narration of the mission as it unfolded. the president has always sat here at the head of the table, no mistaking that. and that day as the meeting went on, as all of the participants were watching the video screen at the other end of the room, at one poin

was intense. there was an exhibit about frankfurt called a passionate intensity. brian: what wasouis brandeis like? mr. snyder: he was a little bit more of a cold fish. brandeis had this real reserve. it was almost a studied reserve. he did not emote. even his letters, they are bullet points. one line after another, there is no feeling in those letters. brian: what was oliver wendell holmes like? mr. snyder: he was a lot like frankfurter. he liked to talk about ideas. they were attracted for many reasons. holmes had this twinkle in his blue eyes and connected with this younger generation. brian: i want to put up on the the stone mountain carving and there is a story here. what was it and what happened? mr. snyder: in their early teens, he begins at two cards of these confederate leaders into the side of -- to carve these confederate leaders into the side of a mountain and he also joined the ku klux klan. borglum had a falling out with the klan and he gets fired as the sculptor. he had to flee and destroy his models and he has to flee for his life. to the hills of georgia. into no

there was a sheep ranching in washington with the wonderful name mccullis and his son was ovid. he was someone who sold his farm in ohio, moved to the yakima valley he could be near native americans. they wound up in exile on the coal vil indiana reservation in north central washington. there was a long standing practice of being migrant hop pickers during the summer season. and when i realizeded i would be hops picking i went to a home brew store in nashville and they opened their bridge and gave me some hops. chief joseph yellow wood came through and camped on the land. he was someone who during the decades after the war, never spoke a word about it really afterwards and decided it was time to tell the story. he found an interpreter and a man who fought for the army in the philippines and he realized america needed a history of the nez perce war from the nez perce view. it became the cause for the rest of his life. he tracked down and interviewed as many survivors of the war as he could find and as many settlers as he could find and as many army veterans as he could find. he intervie

when i was in training in berlin i was supposed to be headed to west germany. that was the normal way to send a german to the other side of germany undercover. that is really easy. but i also was told you need to learn one other language so i picking like. i started learning english. as i told you before, i'm pretty competitive. and i worked hard. so i would start and i learned and i learned. and so about the year-and-a-half into my training some visitor from moscow came over and asked me, so how is your english. i said, oh, i pulled out a book. i'm reading this novel by the way. i don't need a dictionary. ah. make a tape. see what you sound like. i made a tape, sent it to moscow. and they immediately flew me into moscow and had me interview with two ladies. one was a professor of english, russian at moscow university, worked for the kgb obviously and the other one was an american who had emigrateed with, she married a russian most likely kgb and they interviewed me separately to determine whether i could, i had the ability to learn english as well enough to claim to ha

i would not say it was quite taboo it was not forbidden but it was really not a defining, we were not encouraged to think it was in a defining aspect of our identity at all. and so i came to this topic in the aftermath of my father's death. finding myself with questions as people often do. wanting to pull together the threads of the story and coming to it fresh in a way. unlike you and unlike a lot of the people that i meet, i never read anything about this i had no idea what a big deal it was. so when i began to read about it and try to get some handle on what it represented, i was not only completely stunned by the scope and significance of it but also i began to see the ways in which kind of the public understanding of the film was missing our families story and the impact of our families relationship on the film. and so that is what sort of justify to work. i asked myself a lot of questions about whether this was you know, was this historically meaningful? was it worthwhile? do you have something to contribute other than the claim to fame of having this last name. and i would not

was nine. it was sudden, he was her beloved son. the relationship was rich and abiding. she was a wonderful mother, then she suddenly died. his sister died which he was 18. i don't know how germanic that was. the next great trauma is when and died in 1835. this was a serious relationship. it has been reconsidered for a long time. middle of the 20th century it was regarded as a lot of bunk, but because of new work in the 1980's, everybody recognizes it was a very serious relationship. she suddenly died and he was absolutely distraught and was suicidally depressed. it suggests, probably it evokes the death of his mother. you're been to new salem, it is just 25 cottages spread out on a dirt road. his friends set up a suicide watch. they watched him all the time. he told a federal legislator that he was afraid to carry a pocket knife. nobody has noticed the significance of lincoln telling a friend in the legislature that lincoln was afraid to carry a pocket knife, that is because he was afraid he would commit suicide. he was afraid he would slip his wrist. that is why in psyc

there was one which was not a uk source. do i ta ke one which was not a uk source. s an american source? i really don't want to go into where that came from. can you tell me anything more about the device that was blown up in the controlled explosion? you say that this wasn't the sort of bomb you would think of as such but something that might have been used in bomb—making? that might have been used in bomb-making? it was something they felt which was dangerous. material which could have been used to inflict damage and the decision was taken to carry out a controlled explosion. more than that i'm afraid i wasn't told. do you get the impression from whoever it is you've been speaking to that they expect to find more of this sort of material? certainly they are on the lookout for it. the impression i got was that they are finding things as they carry out arrests and searches. the impression i get is they are finding more and more leads to go through and to follow up. but the precise extent of what they've got, i do not know. all i do know is basically what i have told

an example and i forget which president was that there was an aide who was a friend of the president. his office was right off the oval office and he described the chief saying i know you and the president are good friends but you don't go in there and tell i say you can go in there. >> it happened with bob department the speechwriter for jerry ford and cheney had to take all the stuff and roll it down the hall. he just took them out of that office and it happened with rahm emanuel. they tried to fire rom four or five times because he was constantly ticking people off. rahm emanuel refused to go and he just stayed in that office and finally they said you are not going into the oval without coming through me. >> right down here in front. >> chris i know you have done a great job in describing jack but he is a very modest man. >> he surely is. >> he said yes jack i've been expecting you. so he knew before he went and then he asked him to serve on a very important mission for him when he was in the governor's office. when he was in the white house before he was

>> it was disheveled. it was -- it wasame in, thrown everything about, clothes all over. there was drug paraphernalia on the -- bedside tables. it was a mess. >> reporter: so where was this packet? >> this package was literally in the drawer. >> reporter: huh? >> and we opened up. it was laying right on top, right where aaron said it was. and we pulled it out. of course, we took precautions and wore gloves and -- >> reporter: yeah. >> basically laid it out on the bed so we could examine its contents. >> reporter: what was inside of the thing? let me see. the 11 pages inside the plain manila envelope left no doubt about who the intended victim was. it was a latham, alright. nancy latham, the soon to be ex-wife of uber banker, chris latham. the details in the package made it very obvious this was a real murder for hire. >> it included, you know, her age, her car, her license plate. and also, you know, how she came and went from her neighborhood. and what grocery store she even shopped at. >> reporter: i mean, i've never hear

there was a clear distinction n those days between what was highbrow, what was middlebrow, what was lowbrow. there was very little communication among these spheres, and for better or worse, those distinctions at some point disappeared. and i think that has a lot to do with the loss of the particular quality of the highbrow world in those days. i mentioned harold rosenberg before he made his reputation as an arc crater, although he was polymet, he wrote about everything -- art critic -- and wrote about everything. he was asked to write art criticisms for the new yorker. that seemed to be a great turning point in the american culture, and in a certain sense it was. he told it was that the editor of the new yorker called it in one day and he said, i just read your latest piece, and i don't know what you're talking about. he said don't worry about it, i know what i'm talking about. [laughing] >> it's interesting about the highbrow, middlebrow and lowbrow, i was raised in a certain type of highbrow snobbery let's say, the middlebrow, book-of-the-month club, saturday evening post, genteel foreig

was shot. it was sort of drilled into us that we don't want this to happen again. i was sure it was something that was really drilled into the secret service. the minute i heard it, and i had about a four minute ride, because i was already headed that direction, on the radio they said the hilton. i called the radio to ask, which hilton? my patient didn't know which hilton, because it literally had just happened. the media was with the president when it happened. eventually, i heard it, and both of the hotels were uptown from where i was. i continued to go up. as i'm driving, i'm thinking, and i'm sure the secret service people thought the same thing, i'm thinking back to the kennedy thing. we can't get in a fight. we have to work this out.we have to do it right . since that time, i have talked to everybody involved in this case. everybody has the same feeling. we have to do this right. i was formulating thoughts in my head as i went up there, and also on the bureau radio back to our base, they were in touch with headquarters. went until this as i i got here. sprigs, john

was over. so the battle was over, but the war was not. i just said the war was a world war. by the time yorktown was fought, britain was fighting five separate nationstates, and they were overwhelmed. the united states, france, britain. they dragged the dutch republic into it, and the kingdom of mysore in india were all fighting britain. in summary, during this battle -- during this war, 200,000 french and spanish soldiers and sailors fought, as compared with about 250,000 to 380,000 americans. they were as invested in this war as we were. so i want you to know that america could never have won the war without france, and france would never have fought the war without spain. and what i hope all of you take away is this -- that america did not achieve independence by itself. instead, it was borne at a centerpiece of an international coalition which, together, worked to defeat a common adversary. that is pretty much who we are today. we are the centerpiece of international coalitions striving towards a common goal, and that is why we remain, today the indispensable nation. , th

two weeks after i was out, i was working. that was very, like, new to me. i always sold drugs, so i never had a job. so, i've been having a lot of moments since i've been home. but the birth of my daughter was just, like, trumps all those moments, man. i seen my daughter born, i was in the delivery room. everything came back because, at one moment, i took a life. now i'm seeing a life come into the world that i gave to, that i helped bring in. and to know that i'm responsible for this little girl. i have to make sure she doesn't go through what i went through. it is my duty as a father to be there for her. go bye-bye, mama... >> anthony called himself at the parole board hearing a 17-year-old thug. and he's not that 17-year-old thug anymore. he's a father of a child. he's a productive employee of a national company. he's a taxpayer, he's a law- abiding citizen. >> you know, there are certain times when kids are gonna make mistakes. and when you're young and irresponsible, you're young and irresponsible. but when you're talking about capital cases, when you'r
