ctd george marshall has every that the command will be his. in a few minutes, i'll get down to the story of how fdr fooled them all. to run the navy, roosevelt's centurion is admiral ernest king. king is an old, crusty sea dog with a very mercurial temper. his wife described her father as the most even-tempered man that she ever i knew. he was always mad. [laughter] his philosophy was to chew his subordinates out in public and praise them in private which is not considered good personnel management policy. but fdr had seen in ernie king a real scrapper. king was so tough that fdr used to joke that he shaved himself with a blow torch. [laughter] in some respects fdr was ahead of his navy chief. in 1942 the sinkings of merchant vessels which were keeping great britain alive were severely threatened by u-boat attacks which were sometimes sinking three and four ships in a single day. roosevelt wanted a convoy system where warships would track -- would protect the per chant vessels -- the merchant vessels. king just didn't move along fast enough on

now, george marshall hungers for this command, as i've said. this would mark the capstone of his career. and any general worth his salt wants to be a battlefield commander, not a paper push or. pusher. but he's also a monumentally modest man. what does he tell the president? he says, i'll do whatever you say, whatever you think good for the country. at that point the president indicates that their meeting is over. marshall rises and heads toward the door, and just at that moment roosevelt says to him, i wouldn't be at ease without you in washington. george marshall knows that he is not to get the supreme command, and it goes to eisenhower. eisenhower after the war is viewed as the liberator of europe. he's elected president once, he's elected president again. george marshall, a truly great man, his image in the public consciousness has dimmed seriously since that period. let's talk a little bit about, perhaps, the most flamboyant pirg in the u.s. army -- figure in the u.s. army and maybe all the armies engaged in world war ii, general george s.

george marshall said no, i want you. she said no, i live in houston and have a husband and children in houston. not me. then marshall talked to her husband, who had been the former governor, and he said -- her husband said, of course you're going to serve your country when you are asked! so she did, and she put the wacs together and they were an incredible success. what she said was that with all of the thing -- not she, but douglas once said the wacs are my best soldiers. more industriouses and better disciplined than the men. they became so successful that in the end, they had hundreds of other responsibilities. because they had done such a great job at the ones that had been started. so that was the transition. now i have about ten minutes left. i was just told, and i would love to take your questions, because this is something that is dear to my heart. i'm so pleased that i have been able to share with you some of the things about the great women that have really helped shape america. that was recognized as early as

the washington redskins was the last team to integrate, george marshall was an arch segregationist, he had a great affinity for minstrelsy, for black face, white people dressing up in black face for entertainment. it always ends with fight for old dc, he had the lyrics fight for old dixie, and he had it changed to fight for old dc. fight for old dixie, they would play dixie on the field during the 1950s and 60s during the height of the civil rights movement. if that's the history that dan sniert schneider wants to tan with then let's have it. >> college football team sports illustrated is looking at how far the program went to become one of the best teams in football, the allegations are that oklahoma state made payment and gave no show to players, recreational drug use and sex was used to recruit players. how often are we going to see this, in college players? we just went there some like there in university of florida. what is the ncaa going to do? >> i don't know what the ncaa is going to do but the most important part of the story is the way the collective media ya ansports fans ha

another great political odd couple whom i particularly admire, george marshall and senator arthur vandenberg a republican from michigan who shared the foreign relations committee after world war ii. when senator vandenberg first heard about the treatment at -- truman administrations plans for rebuilding europe, he was deeply spectacle -- skeptical. why should american taxpayers shoulder the responsibility of helping former adversaries like germany and japan? who you saw had returned from the navy to his small business in chicago. he felt exactly the same way. so did many other americans. whohall, the war hero served as both secretary of state and secretary of defense sat down with vandenberg and listened respectfully to all of his arguments. then the general explained why america's future security and prosperity depended on having capable allies who would share our interest and buy our goods. more importantly, that america had a responsibility and an obligation to lead the world. he appealed to vandenberg's patriotism and ask for his help. this would only work, marshall said, if it was truly

, james madison, george mason, john marshall and patrick henry? we ain't going to find it. now, at some theoretical level they are there. that is, human beings with the capacity for leadership are there, but the situation doesn't permit that group to rise to the surface. and so the question is, why did the situation exist in 1776? now, there is the point be an answer to this, after arnold toynbee, which is that great leadership only emerges during times of great crisis. and this makes eminent sense. the pressures of the crisis creates. and yet we can all think of examples where there's a great crisis and there's no leadership. like now. [laughter] [applause] or the coming of world war i in europe. so what was special come you can't say there was something special in the water back there then. you can't say god looked down upon the american colonies and blessed them. supernatural explanations are not admitted. even if you're an evangelical you're not allowed to use those in a historical conversation. i don't know whether i have a good answer to thi

george nodded makes the point that he was probably ill-equipped. this goes back to why i call it a conspiracy because who is to say this man would not have become harry truman? who is to say the vice president might not have risen to something that no one knew he could rise to. this was a decision are rarely made by mrs. wilson and the doctors. as a result in large measure of that we have a 25th amendment which details presidential disability. >> as you pointed out in the beginning, wilson was the first southerner to become president in the civil war. a product not only of the south, but the deep self during an era when the klan is in its ascendancy, redeemer politics is widespread across the south. would you say a few words about how race and racism affected wilson? >> i will say a few words and i am glad the u.s. that because this is, you know, not all pretty. this is the and prettiest and the sedition act. wilson, this great progressive was extremely regressive. it must not be forgotten. woodrow wilson did introduce jim crow to this city. says s
