especially young women for whom this really was intended. "little women" succeeded beyond louise's wildest imaginings. it made her really a superstar of the day. this of course changed everything partially because her very honest publisher, he advised louisa to keep the copyright which was wonderful advice. because that meant she could really make money on the book and she became quite wealthy. by the standards of the day, you probably think of her almost as a millionaire today. that of course made the family very comfortable, it allowed all of their debt to be repaid. they could then feel at ease in that regard. and louisa was always so generous. she was always doing kindness for others. if someone needed something and she could do it she often would be helping others. in much the same way that they had been helped when she was young. regularly by emerson a close family friend. he was always living a $10 bill under a tablecloth or something like that in transmission they did not see they would just find it later and not be able to say wait

you really are never stop too young to start and you're never too old to keep going. that was very important. mr. all caps dedicated most of his life to education. in the early years he was educating the young and his educational ideas were extremely unusual for the day. it was an era where most teachers were concerned primarily with order in the classroom. some of the expressions which we find funny today must been funny to the children. one is if a boy does a bad now he's about to be. be spare the rod you spoil the child. and he thought of the broadmoor of a staff to guide. he would not strike the students. he allowed questions in the classroom which was frowned upon because it would promote rudeness. why are you encouraging these questions. he had a lot of difficulty with people getting nervous about these techniques they hadn't heard of. yet the children were learning more. so is really the right thing he was about a hundred years ahead of his time. his lifelong dream had really been to teach his adults as well. he did find that he could finally do that in this ro

even in your 401(k) and your i.r.a., you want to be weighted towards stocks while you're young. retirement vehicles, a lot of them avoid paying dividend taxes, allowing your gains to compound tax free year after year but as you get older, owning treasuries becomes essential because unlike the stock market where you can lose enormous amounts of money in the blink of an eye, bonds are safe once you've used the stock market to make yourself financially independent, you want to funnel more into u.s. treasuries, where you know your investment won'tvanish overnight. ideally you do that by putting into the cheap bond fund so let's get down to brass tacks. precisely how much of your retirement portfolio should you keep in bonds versus stocks? that depends on how old you are. i don't think your retirement fund should have any bond exposure whatsoever until you turn 30. if you own bonds at the able of -- able ge of 25, you're wastig your youth in your 30s, you can keep 10% or 20% in bonds once you're in your 40s, i think you can go up to 20% or 30% bonds. in your 50s, i say 30% to 40%. in

one of the most exciting parts of writing the book was bringing these young men back to life. i used that as an example a young man from chicago moved out to the suburbs before he was drafted a big cubs fan to tell his this life i got to research what the cubs were doing about his favorite team and the blackhawks, i got to put myself into what it meant to be a chicago kid in 1965 so it was fun to read his life. all his friends loved him so much. he was 19 but slipped to 13. he was a tiny kid, all a smile on his face and so happy when he was chosen to be a medic, not a soldier, while he was a soldier of course but not a combat soldier. that meant he was going to save people and not kill them and that meant so much to him and his family. it was fun to create how much everybody loved him and what his life was like and then the hardest part of all this on the 19th of june when he died he went to the aid of another man who'd been shot, the other man had been shot in an open area under fire and bill put himself between the wounded man and the source of the fire and he gets killed as

that's what i found young people to know the library of congress is not so bad. mr. tony bennett, the first person to be given the gershwin award for his interpretation of popular songs. and he was so touched and said anna i first person and the people that are going to be part of this program i cannot tell yet because we are still confirming that everybody is going to be there to pay tribute.e's that will be televised. >> and the last one was really something because the experience with the library of congress and what his festival is also illustrating is the unifying power of the arts of music and literature and in fact last year mr. samuel jackson was the mc. let's just say we have everybody from every party. of course on the news we see all the divisiveness between theng a parties. this is something that brings people together. >> and the festival is bringing people together just in the room the diversity, the different interests and that's why there is something for everyone. when you look for that. tell a little bit about the congressional dialogs where the sen
