i was fascinated with woodrow wilson mainly because of him having a stroke and his wife -- for three months. it was fascinating but the one that really ripped me more than anyone else was warren harding. i couldn't believe that somebody who was such a philanthropist and such a doofus, he was not bright at all. and elected to the warehouse, at the understand anything about taxes. don't talk to me about taxes. the difference between harding and wilson is wilson -- there is a lot of truth about that. he was picked to run for the senate, handsome looking man in the center and ran into the senate and the presidency. we got elected. one of the first things to do is change the national emblem from the eagle to the chicken because he said there were more chickens than eagles. >> host: telephone call for our 2 co-authors from las vegas. you're still on. >> caller: i just want to say that this was an attempt by larry flynt to normalize bill clinton. his deviance has nothing to do with sex. engaging in perjury and obstruction of justice. evidence of this, lose his law license because of his per

now, there have been -- woodrow wilson had a state visit, kennedy -- president kennedy, and george w.rican presidents have come here but in a private capacity. most famously ronald reagan who was hosted at windsor castle. it's just an invite from the queen. doesn't constitute a state visit. >> a lot of other protocol that goes along with it. give an idea, what will it be like in buckingham palace, where is he staying? >> yes. it's notoriously cold in buckingham palace. >> they can afford some heaters there, come on. >> everybody who stays there says the same thing. you're always told to bring an extra jumper. he's staying in the belgian suite, a number of rooms which constitute the belgian suite. it was named the belgian suite after king leopold. the trip's all-inclusive so meals and drinks are included. a minor banquet. there's always this problem, going back to 1776 a little bit here, but always this problem, do you bow, do you accept the protocol other european heads of state will accept? nancy reagan said she would not under any circumstances -- >> do you think the obamas will? >>

and the same thing with painters or politicians or -- i remember reading once for example that woodrow wilson when he was a historian scholar wrote a book very famous book, an important book, about congress. never set foot in congress once the whole time he was working on the book. you've got to go and watch how it's done. listen to it. get a sense of the timing and the times when people are not doing anything much. the dead time as it were in their lives and how do they handle that? i loved reading about wash bunch, for example. would get so restless sitting in congress he couldn't stand listening to other people talk he would start to rattle through pages at his desk or he would see somebody in the gallery he would go visit with them. he just got so antsy he couldn't cope with that side of it. >> what do you plan to do with that typewriter? where are you going to put the david mccullough papers? >> i don't know. i'll probably -- i would like to think that yale, my alma mater would be interested in the paper. the typewriter that may become an heir loom in the mccullough family. i don't know.

and sophie meunier, a research scholar in the woodrow wilson school of public policy and international affairs at princeton university. she also co-directs the european union program at princeton and has written several books on french politics. how important is dominique strauss-kahn in the scheme of things? >> dominique strauss-kahn is very important because the international monetary fund, the institution that he still heads, is very important. he was very important in making the imf as important as it is today. before the global financial crisis when he took office in 2007, the imf was sliding into irrelevance. it's set up to give money to countries that are in trouble. in 2007 the world economy was doing well. the financial crisis hit. the imf... what strauss-kahn did was had a strategy and a grand mission on making the imf a central player in the world financial markets and making the imf a much bigger institution. he did both. he very skillfully strategized, brought the big countries together especially the g-20 economies which includes the u.s., the u.k. and the major emerging

, who until recently was senior adviser to the state department and aaron david miller of the woodrow wilsonernational center who used to be a middle east peace adviser to various administrations. gentlemen, thank you very much for joining me. >> a pleasure. >> this is a big day. people are wondering whether this is a turning point. this attack in tripoli, very close to the gadhafi stronghold and apparently killing one of his sons. vali, what does this mean as the u.s. policy seems to be in a stalemate? >> if i found diplomatic issues that it raises. it's clear that it's changing. this is not self-sustaining anymore. it's increasingly coming upon the united states, or pressure upon the united states to push it to the next stage that. could be a tall order. it could be expensive, it could be messy. and we need to step back and think about how we tackle this new challenge. >> so, in libya, you say the narrative is changing. is it a war without end? what is it saying? >> it's a war without end. at least it's coming down to literally having to remove gadhafi out of the scene. if nato is going af

she stepped down earlier this year to take over as president of the woodrow wilson international center for scholars. thank you both for being with us. stephen hadley, to you first what are the prospects for peace in the middle east after the president's speech yesterday and this meeting today at the white house which on the surface looked contentious? >> well, it may on the surface. i actually think there's more there to work with than you-- than meets the eye. i think prime minister netanyahu gave the speech to the knesset before he came to the united states. i think there are actually a number of positive elements in that speech that have largely been overlooked. i think president obama made a contribution toward moving the process forward. and if you look at the three things that prime minister netanyahu said he could not accept, they're actually things that he's not being asked to accept. he said they couldn't go back to '67 boarders. well, everybody knows those borders have to be, and they're not borders, they're actually armistice lines of 1949. everybody knows that israel can't

and because of the split in the republican party, woodrow wilson becomes president with 43% of the vote. so one of the ironies of roosevelt is that one of the things he objects to about taft, he can't hold the party together of but at the same time by roosevelt running, he splits the party. so wilson wins the election, um, and that's it for roosevelt. he dies in 1919. but he's considered one of the -- if you look at polls that historianses take about great presidents, he's up there. he's in the top five. so he was a great president during his first two terms in office. and i think he runs in 1912 mainly for ego reasons. he can't stand to be out of the limelight. let me make another point about third parties. one of the things we find about third parties is that during the 19th century ideas tend to animate third parties. then they go out, and they get candidates. what happens in the 20th century probably because of the growth of the media, because of radio, television, the ease of transportation, personalities become dominant. you think of third party candidates, you think of nader, you

he's now a fellow at the woodrow wilson international center for scholars at princeton. thank you both very much. behind the scenes, what was this '67 line about, did they expect to make such a problem? >> i didn't think they expected as big a diplomatic kerfuffle. obviously they knew it would ruffle feathers. >> i don't think he said to go to the '67 borders. which is what he said. the goal was to jump-start the process. also, as senator mitchell pointed out, to try to avoid this u.n. vote in september about statehood. >> jake's right. they did this for the reasons. i'm sympathetic. empathetic. truman described it as a 100 year headache. that's exactly what it is. the reality is, how can you give a speech the day before the prime minister arrive. a guy you don't have a relationship. a guy who sleeps not with one eye open, but, two, when it comes to barack obama and you open up an issue, june '67 which, for palestinians means redemption and israelis pitch means national suicide the way they interpret it. and as a consequence, do you it at a time when there are no negotia

politico she's the outgoing director of policy and planning that state is not come back to the woodrow wilson school, said the real secret of america's success is our ability to create and maintain networks. some of those are formal alliances, some are not. but if the world is going to take more network power to supplement hierarchical power, this more complex situation, the americans are probably better at creating that network power than anybody else. nato issues one good example. so i remain a believer in nato's importance. it's not going to play the same role it played in the cold war but it's still very important in this reassurance. >> joe, i have a policy then a process question. the policy question you spoken very well of the integration of smart power, soft power hard power. perhaps talk unless about two what is this i would ask you, what do you think, what ends you think american power should be directed to achieve, and what i think may be more useful for getting people in the room, you've had a great career of mixing, what are the lessons that carried over from the academic communi

>> they had very little in common except there were both completely devoted to woodrow wilson and what he needed and wanted. >> was there anything surprising new found in your research while writing? >> well, he had a girlfriend, too. and theodore roosevelt similarly said he would've got them as they? you with lake to paris. >> ditty of a crush on with each way for registering one? >> chester in wednesday the first really believe it could harm him politically, so she acted as though the girlfriend were a family friend and basically co-opted her. the second wife did not have any intention of sharing him with anybody and the relationship really had come to an end before she came on the scene. >> had it either or both influence his politics and his policies? >> i wouldn't say either of them influenced his policies. he was a very deep thinker. he was not only professor at princeton can do to president of princeton. he driven a number of the excavator intellectual president. his first wife really helped him write his speeches. she knew a great deal of poetry. she critiqued his speeches. she

i am from the woodrow wilson center.to congratulate you all for participating in this report. i think it is a very, very timely, and i look forward to reading it. sounds like it is a real contribution. i have two points and a question. the second point, i would like to associate myself with the pacing of this relation. it seems to me that the problem today is what it has always been. sometimes our interests coincide, and sometimes they do not. that does not make for a very steady relationship of course, today is much more important. the risks are greater. the underlying problem has not changed. but my question is, they are seeking advice really from the panel. the wilson center is in the process of doing a study on u.s. aid to pakistan. i am one of the participants. we have come up with some givens that are pretty obvious, and you have alluded to some of them. namely that we have got to do a better job of explaining the mechanics of aid. you know, what is the difference between appropriated money and obligated money and

taft is 22% and because of the split in the republican party, woodrow wilson becomes president with 43%of the vote. so one of the ironies of roosevelt is that one of the things he objects to about taft, he can't hold the party together but at the same time by roosevelt running he splits
