this is a letter from gage to william dalrymple. from william to gage, written on the same day. this is typical. gage kept his letters as short as he could, written in the neat hand of one of his clerks, while his subordinates wrote long, often anguished, spilling out the complexities of the assignments. there's also a large collection of financial documents that help me track the later the british army spend money during the application -- occupation. this is a topic i came to find fascinating. stationecision to troops in boston beginning in 1768, the irresistible force of his administrative acumen ran up against the immovable object of boston's political culture. in several key respects, boston was unique among the port towns of british north america. it had stagnated economically and demographically. it had a town meeting form of government, which made its political culture especially populist. it had a republican and. in heritage rooted in the english crises of the 17th century that gave it its own distinctive grammar and vocabulary of protest. let me read a few passages fro

williams stated. the subdivision would cause 3030 larkin to be in violation of several requirements, yet a variance was granted. the 1970 decision transferred an area to our ownership as an area to remain an open space in perpetuity. that's depicted here. 3030 larkin, the appellant's property is now over here. subsequent lot adjustment created a new lot, lot 22, and that created our new parcel, 24, which is the subject site. to address mr. williams' concern, the variance was on all of this property. we now own this, so we have standing. i don't know how that's hard to understand. because of all these reassignments, the records were muddled to say the least. before preparing plans, the architect and i went and searched at every building permit on the hu's property. we looked at every building plan and researched the entire city history. the simple fact is that neither the hu's, the architects nor variance city employees saw the recorded restriction. at that point, the hu's acted in good faith and notif

william is describing in the state because he's a villain in williams tail. steven hopkins who was just a failed farmer which is why he was going and sometime in keeper one of those commoners into not buy his way and did not buy a share in the virginia company but bought it with his body, not money. what he started telling people was that yes, everyone had consented to come on the sea venture in the first place but our contracts ceased when the rack was committed. this was his argument. when they were immersed in that sea water to come back to the metaphor that steven gave us when they were immersed in that seawater their contract with the virginia company had dissolved. i will read half a paragraph from the book because i want to make sure we are using steven hopkins exact words. he said the shipwreck had freed each castaway and i was his term. they were freed. from the government of any man and even the meanest by which he meant the poorest laborer among them and even the meanest was bound only by the law of self-preservation. this compelled him to quote, p

but williams does not do that. he just lets malcolm nance keep talking. >> so russia has done that to the united states, and it began way before 2016. the earliest references i had with relation to donald trump shows that it started back in 2011, with marie abu tina and the nra contacts, contacts with the fundamentalist christian rights. russia was pushing these disinformation teams then, and that was the russian internet search agency which built all of these memes and tropes which became the cruise missiles of fake news and disinformation designed to do what it did today. take one-third of the united states population and make them refuse to believe what they see before their very eyes and they may have elected a president in the process. >> tucker: holy smokes. this is a tsunami of news. it turns out that donald trump's collusion with russia began years before any of us suspected, way back in 2011. here's the confusing part. in 2011 by all outward appearances,by trump was still a liberal. he endorsed gun control

amherst, 73, williams, 32. but the importance of this document, which is probably the only original that is still surviving, is that this is an early stab at sports writing. and a lot of the coverage in fact involves how the players arrived, at the game site. how they liked their hotels, their accommodations, things like that, so it's an unusual document. also the game was part of a doubleheader, baseball and chess. so one day they played baseball, the next day there was a chess match. and coverage of the chess matches on the other side, as well, so we also have here a really early box score which shows the names of the players come the tally come the number of times that they came home, and the number of outs that they made. not long after that, after the civil war, what we have here is considered a prototype for baseball cards and it's consider the earliest existing baseball card, it is the oakland athletics, atlantics, chambers of america. they made copies and they would pass this on to their fans and admire

william priest. your book is definitive on shareholder value. this is the bill priest chart. this is the chart. a proxy, the as depression on the left and the challenges on the right. how do you take the distraction of john fenby's world and study it but ignore it in your pursuit of shareholder value? william: shareholder value is driven by free cash flow. it drives every business. accounting does not capture all the elements of cash flow. there are assumptions in deriving earnings but you cannot hide cash. allocation of cash, you can pay a dividend, paydown debt. tom: i'm going to give you a sixth thing and that is collapse. they were there and had free cash flow. william: when you look at a accounting and the massive nations employed at ge, i have never thought that balance sheet was in as good a shape as it was purported to be. what we are witnessing now, a question of solvency in accounting. there is a lot of debt that needs to be taking care of in ge today. it is not a name we own. francine: how

attorney general now william barr was previously u.s. attorney general he's held that post before what's most interesting is that william barr has expressed confidence in special counsel robert muller who is carrying out the investigation into alleged collusion between the trumpet ministration and russia it appears that william barr has called for a what he says is a more balanced investigation team regarding that effort so both of these appointments will have to be confirmed by the u.s. senate and as we saw with kavanagh in the supreme court confirmation hearings in the era of trump the confirmation hearings aren't always as smooth as some would expect. president putin has been hosting the greek prime minister today in moscow the told so with an axis of prospal it was a tense summit between the two countries when greece expelled two russian diplomats over allegations of and demining national security at medina caution of the details despite the diplomatic fallout between the two countries and the semi when greece expelled to several rus

i happen to have a very high opinion of william barr. he was a very good attorney general and could be a good attorney general in any administration. but he must recuse from the russia investigation and all the other investigations of the trump campaign, including the investigation of the southern district of new york. let's look at the facts. just today we've learned the prosecutors in new york, they believed the president of the united states has committed felony campaign finance violations. robert mueller has already obtained convictions of guilty pleas for the president's lawyer. we have the president's former campaign chairman, paul manafort, the vice chair of the campaign, mr. gates. we have the former national security adviser, michael flynn, a number of other guilty pleas, a bunch of them are cooperating with the prosecutors. president trump fired the director of the fbi, james comey, in order to stop this investigation. he's repeatedly tried to fire robert mueller. he fired jeff sessions because jeff sessions wouldn't shut down

william barr is an institutionalist. hopefully, he will try to protect the department from a process standpoint, that's important. let's not forget the policies, tiffany talked about some of those policies, but the direction that this administration has taken, whether it's in terms of voter rights, criminal justice, immigration that hard right policies will continue. because that direction is being set by the president. so again, mr. barr is a conservative. he's an institutionalist. but let's not forget how conservative his policies are and as you correctly point out, those are out of step with where the people of this country are, where the history of this country is. >> tiffany, do you expect the democrats to really challenge william barr in the confirmation hearings on the areas that we are doesing heiscussing here, t of us are concerned about in. >> i do, actually. you and i discussed only your radio show, this is why it's important for people like camela harris to seep e keep her seat, which is in question now with

this is now the new -- it is from williams too. we can't keep having the diverse opinions we can't have the president on one side it is clearly an indictment on what we are expecting out of the government if they do shut down. >> does the fed have a communication problem or does the market have an understanding problem? which one is it? today is a perfect day to ask that question given the williams pop. in my opinion if we zeroed in balance sheet talk nothing the static everything is potentially up for change it didn't hold why do they not bounce some times? maybe it wasn't the main driver of the volatility. it would be my read. i think there are issues having this gap between what the fed thinks and says and judges or versus the direct movement on the marketplace they are never on the same frequency. i think there's a variety of reasons why. with machines and modelling positions get very large volatility is low. you have all of these credit spreads that are most likely margin avoid answer. you get this leverage. i think the fed is
