author of the burning of washington. seattle, washington, next. go ahead, jack. >> caller: good morning, excellent show. it's my understanding that president madison personally, physically, commanded the troops in the battles, making him one of the only two presidents who personally had the front command of troops during his tenure, and then, also, as a former marine, our belief is that the commandant of the marine corps' house, not far from the existing white house, still today, was not burned because of the british respect for how the u.s. marines fought in the battle. any comments? >> those are two very good question, but i have to correct the caller. he described himself as a former marine. once a marine always a marine. i learned the hard way. addressed somebody as former marine. it's quite correct to say that james madison was the first president on the battlefield to face incoming enemy fire. at the battle he was in the knot of cabinet secretaries and rockets passed over them, only then did they ride out of range. a lot of people, including

but back to washington. so o.s.b. wahl comes to washington and starts a political career. he sits in the legislature. he becomes the first black justice of the peace. they call him judge from then on. but then we see -- we see that washington begins to take that inevitable turn toward profound, deep disenfranchisement of blacks and profound segregation. so what is happening for the wahls, which, you know, an elite family, what's happening to the wahls is that their world is circumscribed to places they cannot go, places they cannot eat. and what you see in the -- during the period of segregation, and some of us were old enough and were born then, is that the black elites entertained in their homes almost exclusively, when they traveled they stayed in the homes of other blacks because they didn't have public accommodations. tell us about the home, the parties of wahls. >> sure. the wahls had a big, beautiful house that was right next to howard university. and it was a place, o.s.b. wahl had went to law school there, had sent his children to the schools that howard ran, he h

at that time the washington herald had been bought out by the "washington post." and waltrip, immediately when "deep throat" came out in the spring of '74, he immediately said, it's mark felt. waltrip had great sources in the fbi, and felt was the number one suspect from the get-go. and, of course, he denied it. he said it was not i, i would never do such a thing. and he was actually one of the first to put forward that he thinks -- in fact, "deep throat" is a composite character. it didn't really exist as a single individual which woodward found it a very clever piece of information. as time goes on, the speculation gets more and more broke. i mean, pat gray was identified as deep throat in the cbs special, alexander hague. just everybody under the sun. but, of course, when it came down to it, it was felt. now, i believe he didn't come forward voluntarily, and it was only because he was aging, and when you become that old, you lose some of your inhibitions. i don't think if he retained all of his marbles to the end of his life that he would ever want to to be kno

how did the battle of washington, burning of washington, set up the battle of fort mchenry? >> the british originally didn't want to go to fort mchenry to capture baltimore and then changed their minds. it took almost a week for them to change their minds. had they gone immediately, many baltimoreans forecast that the city -- afterwards, even in correspondence before the battle of north point, that baltimore would have fallen. they were unprepared. they were demoralized. what happened after washington, it galvanized americans. everybody wanted to pay back, especially those who had been in the area. so when the british descended on baltimore, three weeks later, after having been in washington, there were 15,000 defendants. they'd swarmed in from surrounding counties and eastern pennsylvania and virginia. old men, young men. it was raining hard. the eastern hills, which were heavily fortified, were slashed with sudden trenches and even though the men were wet and tired and hungry, they were itching for payback. that's what it did. it fired them up. >> we talk about the burning

everyone knew washington, d.c. could grow to the east. which mean this is congress has been wrong from our very inception. so the national mall is really our backyard, but it stretches from the capitol to the lincoln memorial and it also includes the section from the white house to the national memorial and millions of visitors will -- ground be protected and preserves for the future. each year congress has to consider potential changes and additions to the mall and deliberate how each proposal would affect this important resource and it's finite kpas by, the memorial to president eisenhower has gained significant attention and in my opinion the process has failed to achieve the design with the consensus of support. this particular situation has worked out, it's my hope that we can learn from the process, what was done well, and what we as a community can do. the committee must also consider the pace at which new memorials have proliferated in the past decade. we need to -- taken on their own, there are probably thousands of ideas that ma

. >> yes, washington. does washington act like lee during the revolution? >> all: no. >> what is washington's one crucial priority? >> to maintain the army. >> yes, to maintain the army, okay. to keep the army intact. and that means -- how does that -- so that's washington's strategy is the army must survive so how does that then affect his operational stance? i mean what does washington do then as a consequence of that? >> washington follows a fabian strategy and preserves his army whereas lee should have preserved his army. he knew he could win whatever battles he fought so he just kept on fighting. >> exactly. so you see the different -- i know i had you read the weigley on monday. who does do a fabian strategy? >> johnson. >> during what campaign? >> atlanta. >> atlanta. okay. all right. >> he's criticized. >> who criticizes him? >> the confederates. the people. >> yes, and do you remember who makes that argument? it's sort of in rebuttal to this idea. let me step back. johnston -- sherman is marching

good morning washington >> good morning to you, washington. the penn state community is trying to come to grips with a scathing report on the school's handling of the sex abuse scandal. the commission report accuses former top officials including joe paterno and graham spanier of covering up the allegations in order to avoid bad publicity. >> the most powerful men and penn state failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who sandusky victimized. >> joe paterno's family and lawyers denied the conclusions and said there was no effort to hide sandusky's behavior. he was convicted and is facing up to life in prison. an australian man is coming under fire for a recent adventure he took. >> he says he wanted to encourage his nine-year-old daughter to try new things so he took her down the crater of one of the most active volcanoes. that was the experience. they went down there. i am not sure if he will win in the parenting awards for that one. >> they had the protective gear on her. a lot of people were saying she was way too youn

really, washington post? is that what the people who know mitt romney and dick cheney told you to say? there's more reporting. where cheney's beliefs and policies are rooted in conservative ideology, romney's tend to be driven by analytical problem sauving. this is crack washington post reporting. emphasis on the word crack, based on what they were told by romney sources. trust us, he has nothing to do with dick cheney. pay no attention to the fund-raiser tomorrow. my favorite is from vin weber of minnesota. mr. weber incests with a straight face to the washington post who dutifully wrote it down, quote, this does not look to me like bush/cheney redux. what evidence does mr. weber have that the romney campaign is not a repeat of bush and cheney. he told the washington post, at the broader advisory level, everyone who was around cheney and bush are around romney. wait, back to the talking points. i don't see a lot of overlap there. so they have nothing to do with each other, they're not even advised by the sam
