and in particular west germany. they could not keep up about so that by 1960, the per capita income of the east germans was half of that enjoyed by the west germans. another point to be made is the question of legitimacy. i think in the eyes of many germans, the regime never had the that legitimacy that the west german government enjoyed. it rode in on red army tanks. they were maintained in power by soviet bayonets. so nobody in east germany had a chance before the fall of the wall to vote on the government they really wanted. it is a very interesting thing and the german mentality, we go back a few years before east germany, adolf hitler through the years he grew power, many of his closest followers urged him to seize power. they said you have the men, you have the support, why not go through berlin and take you power. why are we going through these elections? and hitler always stood firm, he says when i get to power, i want to be legitimate. because when you have legitimacy, that gives you everything you need to

to get the west out of west berlin, trying to get the west really to recognize east germany, once he launched that crisis, he increasingly lost control over it to his overeager worried unilateral ally on the ground in berlin. remember the map you've seen and the fact that west berlin, capitalist democratic west berlin, was an island surrounded by a sea of east german communism. khrushchev and ubrecht hated that there was this place in the middle of communism where people could see the other world and by the way, there were of course a lot of spies. berlin was spy central which is partly why we have so many cia documents. the kgb hasn't been as forthcoming on their documents. this special location was very important to the west. we knew we had a listening post and it was the greatest show window as we called it of capitalism. and democracy. so we wanted to keep it and they wanted to take it away from us. khrushchev started this crisis in november of 1958 and quickly developed sort of broader aims. as is common between a great power and small power, the super power has a far broader ag

military academy at west point. >> west point traces its roots back to the american revolution.gton considered this the most important military location in america. he called it "the key to the continent." >> both the british and the americans knew that whoever controlled the hudson river would probably win the war. the best way to move a lot of people -- men, soldiers, supplies, provisions -- was by water, using ships and boats. so controlling the river networks in america was an important aspect in the war. >> massive fortifications were built and crammed with continental soldiers. >> show us your bayonets! >> all: huzzah! bayonets! >> to keep the british from traveling upriver and dividing the colonies, a giant, 100-ton chain was stretched across the hudson. these here are links from the original chain. each link weighs about 200 pounds each. >> yes, it did work. even though there was no attempts to get past the chain or to come up the river with british ships. it was deterrent to the british. >> in 1779, washington moved his headquarters to west point. it was here that ameri

rebecca west was nothing if not iconoclastic. sicily, the youngest of three daughters, was born in 1892 on the outskirts of london. her father, a gifted journalist and cartoonist, soon revealed to be a notorious gambler, thief and womanizer. abandoned their family when sicily was only 8 years old. devastated, she was unable to recognize -- to reconcile his apart adoration with the shame into which his leaving had cast them. this, i believe, was the defining moment of her life. her father's betrayal forever destroyed her faith in people and in god. permeating every aspect of her life including her writing. she would search for him in all her relationships with men, and in her own way she set out to become him. aware that her beauty, intelligence and verbal acuity was akin to his, she methodically cast aside extraneous attachments in service to her overarching ambition. her life became a game of chez. chess. believing that the formal schooling of a woman such as herself was a waste of time, he educated herself in classal literature

joint chiefs of staff began other plans for the main roadway into west berlin. at 10:00 pm on 25 july, kennedy addressed the nation on the situation in berlin. he emphasized that the united states would never allow the soviet union to drive it out of berlin, either gradually or by force. he asked congress for an immediate additional appropriation of $3.2 billion for the armed forces and an increase in the total authorized strength of the army from 875,000 to 1 million men. he requested similar increases in the navy and air force active duty strength. he also called for the activation of some reservists and the extension of tours of duty for soldiers, sailors and airmen scheduled to leave the service in the near future. finally, the president postponed programs to retire or mothball older ships and aircraft and delay the deactivation of a number of b-47 bomber and arial refueling wings. shortly thereafter, secretary of defense mcnamara announced that 50% of the strategic air commands bomber wings would be placed on 15-minute ground alert and three of the army's d

of west berlin. he is basically holding west berliners prisoners. nothing is coming in, nothing is going out. he's trying to basically starve west berlin, meaning the americans, the british, and the french, to get our countries out of west berlin so that he has complete control over the city. it's a blockade, if you will, of west berlin. what does truman do? is he going to allow our interests, our ally's interest in west berlin to be eliminated simply because stalin has this ability to close us off by land? no. truman is going to respond with almost an entire year of an airlift of goods and supplies, food, fuel. anything that the people of west berlin needed will now be flown in. they are going to have to fly from -- take off maybe from a base in great britain, fly across the channel, across friendly air space in western europe and then they have to fly over eastern germany before they can get into west berlin. they are actually flying into soviet controlled air space. truman says, they won't be shot

of us, way west of us in toward the ohio valley on the west side of west virginia with the heavier ones locally you can see as we get west of hagerstown here, out 70, you get out toward hancock, we've got some wet wetter. even sneaking through northern frederick county, virginia trying to come into west virginia, west of i-81. this is where we've got just a few light showers. temps this morning upper 50s to even mid-60s. annapolis is 64. lots of 59s on the map from cumberland, hagerstown, gaithersburg. 57 in manassas, leesburg and culpeper for the cool spot. so in spite of the clouds, some sunny breaks and even showers and storms a. mild to almost warm day with highs mid- to upper 70s. maybe 80 town tarred the tappahannock airport. it's now 5:30. monika santami, you have a list i see. >> i do. we had one serious situation in southern maryland on branch avenue that was cleared up and only to be replaced by another serious situation. this time in loudoun county. it's closing belmont ridge road. use the claiborne parkway instead. we'll take you outside live. no problems to report at the am

that's west of town in the mountains of western maryland and west virginia where some of the visibilities are close to zero. we're okay here in the metro for the most part with partly cloudy conditions. sunrise at 5:54. it will start to get light very shortly with temperatures running in the upper 50s to upper 60s. a good looking day planner. lots of sunshine. spotty thunderstorms this afternoon. i don't think we'll see anything like we saw yesterday. by noon upper 70s with a west to southwest wind 5 to 10. pretty nice lunch hour. 3:00 83 if not 85. that will be close to the high for the day with low 80s still at 6:00 p.m. going to the nats game tonight, pirates are coming to visit for a couple. 81 at game time. 7:05, falling into the mid-70s in the latter inning, southwest winds at 7. we should be in pretty good shape weather wise for that the last six hours toward midnight, 11:30, you can see we had some big storms well south of us. some of that rain clipped southern maryland. this morning we've cleared out. fog a real problem. stafford half-mile, culpeper. we're down a half mile in mar

they didn't venture west. keep in mind, too, as swung mentioned in the last class about the world being flat. europeans did not believe that. 13th and 14th century europeans knew the world was round. this map which is not meant for navigation shows you this is a 13th century european map of the world and you might not be able to make out the continents and the countries certainly but you can see indeed they saw the world as round. the question was not how the shape of the earth, the question is whether or not you could actually make it around the earth, that they knew theoretically if you sailed west you would come to the east and how far that would be and what dangers they would encounter, none of that was known to them. while the portuguese were working their way down the southern coast towards the tip of africa there were another group of people pushing off in a different direction onto the atlantic and these were the vikings as they're sometimes called. in the common image of course the vikings are seen as

west berlin. up until this point, you could freely and easily move from one sector to the other much of a problem or an issue. you show proper identification, you can cross from the american sector to the soviet seccor or back and forth. in june of 1948, stalin puts a stop to that. we are not building a wall yet. that comes later. what stalin will do is to put up a perimeter that separates east from west and around the exterior of west berlin. he is holding west berliners prisoners. nothing is coming in or going out. he is try stog starve west berlin, meaning the americans, british and the french to get the countries out so that he has complete control over the city. it's a blockade of west berlin. is he going to allow our interest and allies and interests in west merlin to be eliminated because stalin has the ability to close us off by land? no. truman is going to respond with almost an entire year of airlift and goods and supplies. food, fuel, anything that the people needed will be flown in to

look close relations with moscow always start improving when his relations with the west are worsening do you agree do you get the feeling or or you would say that it's a coincidence and yes and no. you know i. i usually based on my judgment on the documents. sects and if for example we. consider the trade relations of bill russia with the west and russia and export of bill are approximately equal to the west into russia and it didn't depend very much in this tendency consumers and and it doesn't depend very much on the relations. ups and downs and relations between russia and bill are so. you know it's one thing and then other factors as you mentioned that it mean more maybe emotional that. if you paid attention when it was the you know wish with the west and those sanctions which we can not accept and that's very time not only russia kazakhstan as well within the. asian community they were quite united in the in condemning the sanctions move interesting you a politician speaking speaking about high ranking politicians mention the world emotional well isn't it true that mr looking shi

wade sizes up west. wants to take it from the elbow -- rebound, west. 3:10 to go. hubie: right now, when they look at this film, meaning the pacers, they've had so many fastbreak opportunities today where they have not made the proper decisions for the easy shot. >> mike: chalmers picks up the foul, that is his fifth. free throw coming for the pacers after this time-out. >> hubie: when that ball rebounds out long, come on. you have to rotate back. this is the most critical time of the game. this is just a strong move and you know that either wade or lebron is going to be running the outside lane. now, keep an eye on the middle of your picture. here's a bad decision and there is a great play. >> mike: what hustle. wow. ♪ [swing music plays] ♪ [swing music plays] in your fight against bugs. ortho home defense max. with a new continuous spray wand. and a fast acting formula. so you can kill bugs inside, and keep bugs out. guaranteed. ortho home defense max.

don't touch west berlin. don't touch our access to west berlin. don't touch the freedom of how people live in west berlin. but he didn't say anything about east berlin and four power control of berlin and he didn't say anything about free access back and forth between east and west berlin. so fred kempe's thesis is that if kennedy had had a firmer line and hadn't sort of given khrushchev an easy out -- as long as you don't touch our access to west berlin, you don't touch what's going on in west berlin, your side is your side. you can do what you want. fred wonders a very big what-if question. would the wall have been built if kennedy had had a harder diplomatic stance in advance with khrushchev, because he had resisted for so long that maybe if -- fred's argument is that if kennedy had been firmer, maybe they wouldn't have built the wall. secondly, there was mention about contingency plans in the west. it's very frustrating that we have not been able to get access to any contingency plans in moscow because when i read the documents between khrushc

you get west of leesburg, there's not too much to tell you out west of route 15. let's look up into howard, montgomery counties coming down from 95 through columbia. also from fairfax down 95 right toward quantico into fredricksburg, into charles county now. this is going to head into prince george's county. east of town while it may be quieter, heavy rains are going to be moving in the next hour. 67 in d.c. right now to 63 in leesburg. and 66 in cambridge. this afternoon highs upper 70s. monika 5:00 a.m. wet roads, not good. >> not good. in fact, we're beginning to see the effects of the rain and the wet road conditions. an accident, this one just in on the northbound side of i-95 in virginia near the harbor. it's blocking the two right lanes northbound on i-95 near route 610 so be aware of that. i'll keep you posted on that information as -- on that situation as the information comes in. on the northbound side of i- 395, we've had this police activity north of duke street for a while. we'll take a live look and see if it's still there. it is on the right showedd

when we talk about the east and west and the shift of power from the west to the east, what do we really mean by the west, and what do we really mean by the east? >> in a sense it is simple. by the west, we mean that part of -- >> not just the united states? >> no, not just the united states. we in europe. the east means far east -- that is to say asia, southwest asia, to the extent that one includes in the east india, pakistan, bangladesh. >> that is a big area with an awful lot of people. >> it is a lot of people. it is not such a huge area. it is roughly comparable with the west. the community is pretty large, too. how do you draw the divide? who is in it, out of it, and who is in between? >> you suggest a strategic vision in your book, a bit of education for me, and it is always interesting to see your take on the world, that the west down the road should really include russia and turkey. >> absolutely. they are in different ways increasingly partaking of the democratic tradition, and certainly the turks want to be part of europe and are practicing increasingly, and pervasively so, d

you see the showers well west of us but as we zoom in, you see here this is west of hagerstown now. this is i-81. so a couple of sprinkles between the stateline, williams port down toward martinsburg and out west they're scattered about. that's it on the rain. nothing near the metro as temperatures have dipped to 61 in town. 56 in leesburg. annapolis 63 and 59 in la plata. we'll have sun mixing with clouds at times. today mid-70s but watch out for the afternoon showers and storms approaching. let's go to monika santami at 6:00 a.m. with your time saver traffic. >>> i have to give credit to police and crew on the scene of a multivehicle accident on the westbound side of route 50 at route 202. they were able to move everything to the left shoulder pretty quickly. i'm going to take you to a live picture from sky 9 on the westbound side. you can see that everything was moved to the shoulder but it was there long enough in the rush hour to cause at least a mild backup. we're zooming out to see that delay on the westbound side of route 50 approaching route 202 in landover. keep that in mi

what we've got is shower activity sitting just out to the west. it's going to try and migrate east this morning and midday. i don't think it's going to happen. i've got frederick and mount airy on the right hand side of the screen there. to the mountains and west, i want you to take an umbrella to work and school with you. you're going to need it because this afternoon and this evening and overnight and tomorrow, showers and thunderstorms around. 75 the high. it is 60 degrees right now. ron matz, good morning, how are you? >> we're doing great don and marty and we're taking a little baseball this morning. we're live at marriott's hunt valley inn. big benefit coming up saturday for the negro league baseball museum of maryland. we're going tell you all about it when the eyewitness news morning edition rolls on. ,,,,,, on my journey across america, i found new ways to tell people about saving money. this is bobby. say hello bobby. hello bobby.

everything was reeling in the west for the confederates. and the union high command had this feeling of impending victory, that they were on the verge of perhaps ending the war in the west. their primary mission was to repossess the mississippi valley. that's the whole purpose. and command had now been organized under a central leader in the west, henry w. halleck who commanded from st. louis. and he had four field armies maneuvering against the western confederate forces under the supreme western commander in the west for the confederacy, albert sydney johnston. so johnston not only had this federal force encamped, now disembarked at pittsburgh landing in close proximity to his railroad and the corinth junction, but he had three additional union armies pressuring his defenses. he had one in arkansas. he had pope on the river, had just taken new madrid. grant's force here, and don carlos buell of the army of the ohio, which had entered nashville and was maneuvering through middle tennessee. halleck had ordered a concentration of grants forc

and while it's going to be sunny here in the metro area at 1:00, out west out to the west virginia and virginia border i- 81 some thunderstorms popping by then. this afternoon, boy we get to the middle of the afternoon, things start to move in from west to east. and when i say things i'm talking about permly strong to -- potentially strong to severe storm with some hail and possibly damaging wind gusts, storms this morning in west virginia locally moving into ohio. it's southern garrett county seeing some rain coming out of this one cell south of oakland here. so that's about it. and this is weakening a little bit. other than that nice quiet morning except for some fog. that's a problem areas to the south and west from warrenton to culpeper and orange and over to stafford. visibilities there a half mile or less. quarter mile in martins bug and half mile in baltimore. patchy dense fog in spots that will be around for a couple of hours. temps 59 in easton. 58 lewis and georgetown delaware with mid 60s in d.c.. low 60s in winchester and gaithersburg and culpeper and outside on the michael

that the west end doesn't have the activity it should. we need to bring more positive activity to the west end and activate that space. the master plan considers adding a fifth soccer pitch where the treatment facility used to be. it also recognized that a 30 to 40-car parking lot should be added at that area. it contemplates the addition of a 2,500 square foot pavilion which would be a community space, a place for roller skating, bike rentals -- those are all great and we think that our project dovetails with that goal. obviously with our field -- field and increased use the need to expand another soccer field to the south isn't necessary, adding an additional parking lot at the south end isn't required. we're achieve all those goals and that's clearly articulated in the master plan as a direction we should be moving. we shouldn't be expanding our recreation facilities, we should be improving the foot print are -- of where they exist now so they meet the demands of the public. you have have information in your packet. i don't want to rea

the winds are from the west.ut rom tar is high at 30.25 and around the state the temperatures are around the 50 degrees range. these winds are coming in from the west and southwest. really, down to 95 corridor and to the south and east of the state. a uniform shift across the region, to the west and southwest. that will pump in warm air from that south. the neighbors to the south have been running 7 to 10 degrees warmer than we have been. that's the scare that is coming our way. spoil is the normal high. we will be in the 80s. our next chance of rain comes really, the next chance is monday and tuesday. but the front that will be responsible for it is tomorrow evening. do not be alarmed to see clouds tomorrow. the front gets here and pulls in warmer air from the south. so, from the west of state the clouds will increase tomorrow evening. not a great chance of rain. the farther west the greater chance by tomorrow evening, but overall the rain holds off until your mother's day plans will be over. we will keep you po
