so washington rides back. he has all his finery and his commission, and i should say one of the other particular things but washington is silver lace,, is whenever he gets a new command, almost the first thing he does is sit down and he designs and officers uniform. and he really likes fancy officers uniforms. this is where silver lace comes in. anyway, he's collecting silver lace along the way. so now he writes back from boston back to the virginia frontier. for far more serious problems had just begun, now that he returns attention to the frontier, the responsibility that had been his all along to protect the front your settlers from massacre landed suddenly and crushingly upon him. he rode fast over the blue ridge to winchester, the shenandoah valley. he found the indians threatened front your settlers up and down the valley formally safe from indian attacks. they had abandoned their homestead and fled to small forts for the town of winchester itself. no one knew if the indians would attack winchester washi

rather this is the on washington but not the washington of the bedtime story. this washington is ambitious, temperamental, same damn thin-skinned petulant, awkward, demanding, stubborn annoying, and passionate. this washington has not yet learned to cultivate his image or contain his emotions. here instead is a man struggling to maturity with close friends. this is the washington of emotional need and personal ambition and mistakes. many mistakes. everything about washington's life is askew to most people including his maturing during his younger years most people make mistakes many learn from them. but the difference with washington is the mistakes he made occurred in the arena that was expanded to regional and global with reaping those historical consequences the overly mature washington would be the continental army as he personally bears responsibility for inadvertent striking the spark that the tender that exploded into the french and indian war. he was accused of being a war criminal and assassin and murderer and incompetent leader in negligence and an in

of james hoben met washington p. all of the men t five men who recommended him knew him and all were involved in the society there and hoben had built buildings there will. there was no documentation of what he built but did court building seeming likely since all of his recommendations were on the board of the building of the courthouse. so he was taken to hampton -- out to hampton i think. that looks like him. and whatever the case, he shook hands with washington and washington came back and told his commissioners that he met a man in charleston and he was actually very good and had many lands of his own. that was an american qualification. hoben headed to philadelphia to meet with washington. it was a successful meeting. there were many curious entries. one had a throne in it. one by the great carver none new england but hoben of course won: washington came down. and so washington won. they cut the plan down. the house would have been about four times the size it is now. the plan called for grand avnue right outsi

since its purchase from the washington family in 1858. the mount vernon ladies association is a nonprofit organization, having operated continuously for the last 160 plus years. today it remains the oldest historic preservation institution in the country. the ladies association is neither sponsored by, nor beholden to the federal government, nor the state of virginia, it stands alone. its original charter having been granted in 1858, when women or not yet allowed to vote, much less capable to be considered of conducting public affairs. since those pre-civil war days, the ladies association has, without government financial support, steadfastly chartered its own course to not only restore, but to preserve and protect mount vernon for future generations. today, as we stand amidst the quiet a restored splendor of mount vernon, much as it appeared in washington's time, please note that the association's course has not been easy. but it has never been wayward. we are inspired by our forbearers, even beginning in 1861 when sarah tracy, one of f

and when he got to washington. there was a special stone landing. on the creek there and they took a little creek, and they put, made a locks. the stones were lifted up and then oxen put them to the building site. please remember in all of this, these stones were. extremely heavy. and they had none of the conveniences we do. here we are in the quarry again. here's some apparently inferior stones this is a wonderful one at the top of a tree root running through it that split it. it was one of the first issues was splitting the stones. it's a sandstone. here's the only house i know of that was ever built out of it and that's just the facade. that's replaced today by limestone. it was originally a quarry stone and it was so deteriorated, since 1976, they replaced it with limestone in the restoration. you'll be interested to know that general braddock came here. he was the home of john carlyle, another scott, a very prom net scot. one of the leading people of alexandria. and general braddock headed for what became the

and i started pushing stories to "the washington post" or washington city paper and others. i liked it, it just was fun. and it's fun, you know, i got a rush from seeing my byline, from people enjoying my work. but i wrote a lot of different stuff. i did a lot of lifestyle stuff. i mean, you can find stuff on the internet. i did a story about when the stairmaster was invented. [laughter] about, no, that's not even the premise. [laughter] the women were complaining that there was a phenomenon called stairmaster butt where their butts were getting big from doing too much stairingmaster. this is in "the washington post," so withhold your judgment. [laughter] but, i mean, i wrote anything. you know, when you're a young freelancer, you'll write anything about any subject. and then i liked it. and then because i knew a lot about politics, i kind of gravitated towards politics. but i got into the business because people were not writing the stories that i wantedded -- wanted to read, and i think now i am in it because people are not asking the questions that i wanted asked. >> you

the gentleman from washington. mr. newhouse: mr. speaker, my friends on the other side seem to be focused on closed versus open rules. we hear that time and time again. ignoring that the structured amendment process has routinely been used by both parties when they're in the majorities. this majority has made it a priority to make in order amendments for floo consideration, which i -- floor consideration. which i might point out, a majority of those amendments have been democratic sponsor order co-sponsored. fact, as of -- or co--- sponsored or co-sponsored. in fact, as of this year, we've considered over 1,650 amendments on the house floor. 745 of those were democrat amendments. 630 were republican. and 280 were proudly bipartisan amendments, mr. speaker. so, by no means are we stopping the process. and that doesn't even count the thousands and thousands of submissions that members make, both republican and democrat, to committees for consideration. so i would take exception to the fact that this is a totally closed process. it is

tom: it is interesting, they refer to as the "washington post" as the washington compost and jeff bezoson their favorites list either. partially, just the exposure, partly out of curiosity. they were surprisingly open with me. i was up there more than other reporters, but that blessing ceremony, which attracted the media attention, and were very good. there were very few restrictions, and the restrictions were common sense restrictions. like "don't walk down into the well of the church while a ceremony is going on." i was not -- you never get full access to the things you want on a story, but they were more open than i expected. i was also somewhat surprised, we caught more flak on this story from people who are opponents of the unification church and reverend moon feeling we did not go hard enough on sean moon. i was surprised that sean felt it was fair and balanced. brian: those who want to read it, it is from the may 27 magazine of the "washington post." they can read it online? tom: it still lives online. our goal was a more nuanced approach. we were not out to do a cartoonish piece

cigar den, and back then you could smoke in bars in washington. so they redid wit the wing backed chairs and the dark burgundy walls, and somebody had the brainstorm they wanted to do cartoons for art. the original genesis was on the walls with some artwork. we made an arrangement with the hotel to loan them a bunch of classic caricatures of the collection. since then, i got involved in 2008, thanks to my buddy richard thompson, when they wanted to update the caricatures to stuff that was more current. the collection mostly went back to the '60s, '70s, and '80s. and then there was a big gap. the thing that happened in the bar, people would come in and the newer clients didn't recognize the people from the nixon and reagan administrations. so they wanted people from the clinton and obama administrations. so that's when richard thompson who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago was brought in. and richard was just an astounding caricature. he was the top -- caricaturists at the time. so e came in with some drawist and i got some of those.

whatever the case, he shook hands with washington, and washington came back and told his commissioners that he had met a man in charleston, and he was obviously very good and had many lands of his own. an american qualification. hoban quickly headed to philadelphia to meet with washington. it was a successful meeting. a competition was held for the president's house. it was fixed. there were many curious entries. one had a throne in it. all sorts of buildings were proposed, some by major architects, one of them the great carver from new england. but hoban, of course, won. washington came down and hoban was actually working in the commissioner's office. so washington won. they cut the plan down, the house would've been four times the size it is now. l'enfant's plan called for a grand avenue outside decatur house. it came from three streets and joined as one with gates and the mansion and the usual idea of french palaces. this did not work, but washington was going to have his house. he also realized it was more likely to be able to finish that house than the capital. when the plans were

vernon with the washingtons. so i just wanted to understand how latrobe was not so well thought of. >> who can take that on latrobe? >> it's an interesting question on the basis that latrobe, i think, his real problem was twofold. he had a very acerbic temperament. in fact, he lost his temper very easily. he was self opinionated. he was good. he was actually very confident. but as a personality, he tended to laud it over others. lawas for draw -- abortion -- he was coming at a state he was falling between the aristocracy. and the peasantry. he was in between the two. that was a proper rising status in france at the time. in england as well. what was happening was that the profession of architecture was shifting from the idea of a copartnership, as existed between hogan and washington, that is the old order where you had the gentleman master. and then when he saw it he did know what he wanted and you had the person who could give it to him without telling him what he wanted. on the other hand, you had latrobe comi

on washington, as well. usually not in a positive way. there was talk about the negative tone of solidarity day, and an angrier tone. but this is 1968, not 1963 and i think that is to be expected. people, the media talked about ralph abernathy's lumbering and terrible speech. it was not the "i have a dream" speech, it was smaller but there were all of these comparisons to the march on washington that were relatively unfair. to me, solidarity day is important, but not one of the most important legacies or moments of the campaign. again, it was really about the interactions people had with each other in monday and moments ndane moments that i think are illustrative. after solidarity day, you had to have a park permit and the department of interior to have this encampment on the washington mall, that ended, and five days later, the government chose not to renew it. the police came in and even evacuated those in resurrection city and flattened the place. this is important, because it affects what historical docu

and he'll be in better form when it's in washington you know he always did not grow it in d.c. and obviously trump is more comfortable in that element but we also have to remember russia also has to agree to some sort of summit in d.c. so i just don't see it as something that's going to happen in the near future and i hope it doesn't happen in the near future because i think that trump the united states as well as russia whether they're dealing with their own stuff or what they're working on stuff together have a lot of stuff to do yet before these two leaders meet again frankly from just the russian very pragmatic standpoint on top of of maybe hurting more domestically and and the issue can any policy be done. there's also a question of basic security with the hysteria the neo mccarthyite bill in current russian security would have been really beyond that it's only caring for anything i thought of absolutely the first thing i thought oh my god i can maybe flesh this out a little bit more how do you think a lot of me and putin understood the summit because is trump a president
