well, west point was involuntary. there was a nieman fellow up there named tom karsell, who came from hodding carter's paper in greenville, mississippi. and you have to understand, in the south in those days, there were a number of papers which became, in effect, like an oasis. and there was only a handful. we now should not glorify american journalism and southern journalism by thinking of all these wonderful, feisty independent newspapers. most of them operated along the line of the prevailing values. tom was a nieman, as john was later, and one day he hired me. he was going to be the new editor of a new liberal paper in jackson, mississippi, the state times. so i graduated. i wanted to do an apprenticeship. and i thought if you were going to do an apprenticeship, why not do it in the south and why not in mississippi, which was the most contested, most recalcitrant state? and i got down there, and he was not the editor of the new liberal state times. he was the assistant to the editor, to the famously racist fred su

west point is the army, and in that class of cadets are so many future world war ii lieutenants. he's a reserved player. the school wins the game, and it's a tough, tough game, just a phenomenal day in sports. amazing. >> what did the coach tell his team before they played? >> according to several accounts, warner -- and this can be exaggerated, but no doubt warner said to the team as part of his pep talk before the game, you are playing against the descendants of the people who fought against your fathers on the so-called indian wars in the west of the land so go out and get them, and they did. >> did politics -- did political figures grab on to jim thorp, and did he get involved in politics at all? >> later in life he did, not at this point that we're talking about, not at all, not in the 20s. by the time he's in hollywood in 1930s, playing his last sort of official game of any kind in 1928, goes to hollywood as did so many sport stars because of the movies and the wonderful climate. he goes to hollywood, and he becomes almost in spite of himself a spokesperson for indian cause

so by the time that west point game is scheduled, he is sort of the talk of the nation. nd, in fact, point -- sports illustrate would say 2008 that had there been a heisman trophy, for example, in many 1911 and 1912, jim probably would have won it boast years. so he's a phenomenon when he goes into that game. so warner has scheduled the carlyle indians with the west point cadets, and it's a highly symbolic game, obviously, for many, many reasons. obviously, west point is the army in that team and so many future world war ii generals -- >> host: such as? >> guest: eisenhower, for example. >> host: omar bradley? >> guest: right, who's watching from the sidelines, but he's a reserve player. and carlyle wins that game, and it's a tough, tough game, and it's just a phenomenal game, and thorpe dominates. amazing. >> host: what did the carlyle coach tell his team before they played? >> guest: according to several accounts puff warner -- and this can be exaggerated, but no doubt warner said to the team as part of his pep talk before the game, you are playing against the descendan

>> oh, yes, the west point football game. well, we fast forward to 1912.im's last season with the carlisle industrial school. >> was he well-known as a college athlete nationwide? >> oh, yeah, at this point he is. 1912 he is. 1911, it's a long story, he leaves carlisle in 1909, goes to play minor league baseball in north carolina, never intending to go back to carlisle. wanting to break into the major leagues because baseball was the only organized sport then that you could make a living or make a career. he doesn't do that well in baseball so he's persuaded to come back to carlisle in 1911. he's bigger, he's heavier. he's in his 20s now. he hits the ground running and the football seasons of 1911 and 1912 and the track and field season of 1912, which then precedes the olympics in stockholm in the summer of 1912, he's a phenomenon. he's all over the newspaper. he's in all the headlines. so by the time that west point game is scheduled, he is sort of the talk of the nation. and it was said in 2008, had there been a heisman trophy in 1911, 1912, jim probably

the joint chiefs came from rising through the ranks and knew them from west point on and was able to save them. so i do think they go together through my experience and the country is quite likely that he had a job the had. >> you use the term warren is an to describe his politics. i am reading it from today's prospective. i wonder if you could talk about the development of his politics and progressive republican moves to the right initially to gain elections but then makes another switch and by the end of the book i wasn't sure how you would describe his politics other than the term you used midway. >> one reason a eisenhower is disappointed in warren is misunderstood his politics. on the surface they appeared to be politically quite similar. robert taft is their opponent. from the right and the left. there are other things -- eisenhower saw him as a like-minded figure. what he didn't see is he grew up in the california progressive division. eisenhower was a columbia university -- after the war very much interest in big business and sort of traditional east coast republican party. i

there is a connection between west point and oslo in terms of... >> oh, well the just war, that's true, that's true. that's true. i suppose that he looked and felt uncomfortable at west buoyant all the cadets there and that there was a sense of sense of shifttyness going on even though when the words themselvess were forthright. in oslo i felt we had it was better, professor obama giving us the history of the distinction between the just and unjust war. >> rose: what's interesting about him, take last night, the speech he made yesterday afternoon. what's interesting about shim there is a teachern him as a speaker, as a politician. some will argue, you know, that the professor is not the perfect kind of quality for a political leader because he's constantly going back and forth and sees all sides of the issue and this kind of thing. how do you compare obama with churchill? >> well, i think you've done it very well yourself. i think there is a kind of more reflective instinct. churchill was sort of the opposite temperamently. >> rose: to the barricades. >> pretty much, even when he was m

code name "household six," for wife stacy and their five daughters from 19-year-old whitney now at west point down to 3-year-old rachel, the youngest and most challenging. the latest fire back home, the flip camera has gone missing. >> the mission today is a missing camera. >> there is a lot going on right now, huh? >> this loving father, a native of milwaukee, is also a war-hardened paratrooper who leads from the front. wounded himself, and he still carries shrapnel in his leg from an ied attack. five others were injured, two seriously. >> jeffrey -- >> and no matter how late at night, davis finds the time to cheer up many of his own wounded soldiers in hospitals in the states. >> you'll start to get feelings in your hands and legs. >> reporter: and then, but only if he's earned it, davis has the other twinkie. >> simple pleasures. >> reporter: before winding down until the next one. jim aceda, nbc news, kandahar. >> life in the u.s. army thousands of miles from home. we've had a tremendous response to jim maceda's reporting this week. because of that, he's live on the facebook page tonight,

was, i don't know if he's reverted to great or whatever, but dwight eisenhower four years out of west point volunteered for a transcontinental convoy that was commissioned by the opportunity of the army to test the american highway system. they spent about four months or phi months -- five months going from the ellipse in washington all the way out to sacramento, california. it took about four or five months to do that trip. and their mission was to develop an assessment about the american road system. and this was an historic journey. eisenhower was on it. and when he had the power to accelerate a national, a national highway system as part of -- bill's point is right, i think -- infrastructure in 1954, '55, i think it this was somethg that he was all too happy to do as a president, to see that, help that go through. and i think, also, he was justified in military terms as many programs were in the 1950s. this was cold war era, but i think it was an infrastructure project, and it was something that it was the project of many years of planning. i think it was shelfed by world war ii. the ro

and soldiers were knocking -- american soldiers, guys from the mid west and young guys out of the west point and some women as well but not on these patrols. noning on world village doors and telling people we should really back up the government and back karzai. these soldiers, it's a terrible position to be in. they've come from texas and they've been now put to kendhar knocking door to door selling karzai to the people of afghanistan. it's a losing product. >> charlie: so therefore in your judgment should the united states stay there? and if we leave do we risk one more time the afghans saying well you abandoned us again. >> we would be abandoning them again if we left. karzai's government wouldn't be strong enough to survive and a civil war of sorts would almost certainly begin again. with the taliban gaining control of its areas and the northern alliance and other former northern alliance parties breaking up and others, karzai, abdullah abdullah would be one of them forming their own little mini states within the country. that's an acceptable option or outcome then the u.s. should leave

confederate commander beauregard was a gunner, so skilled as an artillery student at west point that his instructor kept him on as an assistant for another year. that instructor was major robert anderson, union commander inside fort sumter. all the pent-up hatred of the past months and years is voiced in the thunder of these can none, and the people seem almost beside themselves in the ex-al tags of a freedom they deem already won. >> reporter: the signal to fire the first shot was given by a civilian a virginia farmer and editor who had preached secession for 20 years. of course, he said, i was delighted to perform the service. 34 hours later, a white flag over the fort ended the bombardment. the only casualty had been a confederate horse. it was a bloodless opening to the bloodiest war in american history. >> the first gun that was fired at fort sumter sounded a death knell of slavery. they who fired it were the greatest practical abolitionists this nation has produced. >> woodruff: more now on the history and the legacy of the civil war. we're joined by three historians who have s

as they pointed west on sunday dale avenue, instantly, the officers looked west and saw the suspect armed with an uzi-type assault weapon on the 1800 block. the officers saw the suspect had the weapon in both hands and was firing in the direction of a crowd of people. as the suspect fire the weapon, numerous people began running in various directions. officers could hear the shots being fired and could see smoke coming from the weapon. the suspect fired at least -- approximate three to four shots and then fired in the air. officer trail broadcast over the radio shots fired and a suspect description as numerous units responded. officers pulled up to the suspect, at which point the suspect notice the officers, and while fully armed, began running from the officers westbound on sunday dale avenue. officer obot pursue the suspect on foot while officers peregoy and trailed initially pursued from their vehicle. officer obot parallel the suspect on foot, ordering him to stop as the suspect ran south from sun and dell toward brookdale ave. officers peregoy and trail drove a short distance and ele
