it's general william alexander aka lord sterling who was buried just 75 feet from alexander alt trinity church. it's my friend john restoe who followed up my suggestion to put u.s. flags there. i thank john for doing that. it's important that we mark him. an incredible brave general in multiple battles including the battle of new york as well as the battle of monmouth, and he lived not far from here. he had the huge estate. one of the reasons we don't remember him is that his house burned down, but we have that beautiful state park there. hamilton receives an offer from lord sterling, come be my aid. he receives an offer from the fighting quaker. each time hamilton amazingly says thanks but no thanks. what does he yearn for? battlefield command. he's worried if he takes a desk job he doesn't rise as quickly, doesn't achieve the prestige as quickly as he would if he were on the battlefield. and of course we know much again like the titanic story, that it's going to end with yorktown. he will finally achieve that heroism he yearns for on the battle. in the meantime, someone named george w

alexander hamston also not only burr eeld near lord sterile, major general william alexander at trinity church but also the famous spy herculez mulligan. may not be as famous as talmage but hamilton helped with the ring. hamilton and mulligan already knew each other from the manhattan days very early in hamilton's time when he was at king's clem. mulligan was a tailor, and it just so happened that, of course, as a tailor he would be improving or providing new uniforms for british leadership so that's a great eavesdropping opportunity to pick up information, and he's also housing, according to the troops, one of the things we were rebelling against on july 4th of '76 was the quartering of troops and indeed his home where he and his wife lived at 23 keep street, thing st. france's tavern and also had officers from a regiment so he's able to receive information from that time as well. he talks about this in his so-called narrative later in life and it's also the reason why we know that his younger brother hugh was also involved in gathering intelligence. he was basically a merchant in a ne

it's alexander hamilton. >> what was florence hamilton, related to alexander hamilton? and was he a naval commander in the great lakes of 1812. >> i have no idea i don't know i've never looked into it. there are several descendants of alexander hamilton who took on great leadership roles in the military. it's incredible when you read about this like on sources like sources like a weak media. and we have to look at up or ask a descendant. but >> i may be dense here, but what did washington die from? >> he had gone out on his horse, in virginia at mount vernon, and it was cold rainy day, and he got sick from the wet clothing and of course what do you do in 1799 when you get cold, and you get sick, and you have a doctor. you bring in leaches and do blood letting, and it makes you worse and it exacerbated what could've been preventable. tragic. yet how symbolic isn't it? that he dies at the end of that century. i have an ancestor, named private hitchcock, and he wrote in his memoirs the day that the news arrived of washington's death he said my goodness, i am paraphrasing h

another good shot by alexander at double breakpoint. again a shot by ashe and alexander breaks with a good passing shot. john arthur hold their games but we come back with john with a match point. [applause] arthur ashe beats john alexander and four sets. he has done what he came to do. he's in the finals in a position to win his first major championship since winning force of the 1968. he'll face the winner of the bjorn borg match either of which is a formidable match. for our third simple there are no uncertain terms the 1975 the year of arthur ashe in the world of tennis and a place to start is in dallas. earlier in the week the world's first 24 karat solid gold tennis ball were $33,333 was presented to arthur by founder of the hager company. arthur's scoreboard points in a contest to win down to the final week of the season. arthur's consistency and beating out 83 other players for the top spot was an early indication that 1975 would be his ear. rudd labor in bjorn borg semi finals provides the dallas crowd with the most rest taking

[applause] so arthur ash beats john alexander in 4 sets and he's done what he came to do. he's in a position to win his first nature championship since forest hills. he'll face the winner of the match, either one of which is a formidable opponent for the man who set his sights on being number one. for arthur it's simple. in 1975 will be the year of arthur ash in the world of tennis and the place to start it in dallas and the time is now. earlier in the week the world's first solid gold tennis ball was presented to arthur by the founder of hater company.arthur's scoreboard points knows that rob levers 700 and contest that went down to the final week. arthur's consistency in beating out 83 other players for the top spot is an early indication sp1975 would be his year. a rod labor be on board semi final provides the dallas crown with the most breathtaking final since 1972 . bjorn borg is possibly

and south has amazing alexander hamilton documents to check out afterwards. of course cspan audience. 20 years ago our board chair wrote me a note that started with the words a stroke of luck. what he was referring to he had been introduced to a soony buffalo phd candidate who was interested in alexander hamilton and early financial history. this was well below the show, there were few of us like dig and myself doing a deeper dive on the financial aspects of his vision. our first look at bob was his phd thesis, 1300 pages. that is staggering. to put that in perspective. my was 300 his is 1,000 more. it led to the first equip about bob from dick which was, he can't hold his ink. well fast forward 20 years he has 20 more books that he has either authored or co-authored to date. that led to second equip of dick about bob was he writes books faster than we can read them. now if you add to that five edited volumes, 65 scholarly articles, many of which have received awards, and i'm seriously only at page 10 of his 47-page cv. an incredible document you should check

put it together, alexander hamilton was right. we have collaborated on many projects together, whether it's books or chapters. i can tell you when i'm stumped, i often turn 250 bob. he's combed so many archived. he is never one to shy apay. he likes to tell it like it is, especially to jefr sewnians and jacker beens. i've been able to have a front row seat watching. what's not controversial, in my opinion, historians against slavery. where he's a board member. his latest book "the poverty of slavery." his writing reminds you of somebody else who couldn't hold his ink, alexander hamilton. today he'll address a four-letter word that hamilton created. debt. and $20 trillion today. you may think it's a different four-letter word. let's hear from bob about the man who created it and its origins. it's my pleasure to introduced professor robert wright. >> thank you so much, david, and thanks to the museum, of course, and all of you for coming today. i know it's absolutely nothing to do with the heat outside and air conditioning in here.

by retired army colonel lieutenant colonel, alexander vindman. quote, i was set to testify to congress on tuesday on october 29th, and head to prepare an opening statement. reviewing all the previous witness depositions that had been made public, i saw that while each had made a persuasive professional case, for their views on foreign policy, they had an attempt to connect on a more personal basis. with the ordinary americans who were following the impeachment hearings on tv. as i had a personal story to tell, i decided to begin my statement with my career of service, in my immigrant families american dream. i thought up by provided that context, there was a chance that a lot of americans would understand, why i had to do what i was doing. my wife rachel and i have it upstairs and her daughter elise room on monday the day before my testimony, to go through the final draft. word by word. then i sent it to my legal team for their final approval. now we get home from school that i helped her to her makeup for her halloween costume. then we went to a

alexander lukashenko calls this his "big conversation." though for over eight hours he did most of the talking. exactly a year after his controversial re—election as president, we were in minsk to question him on the mass protests and the repression that followed. and, on international sanctions, including new measures introduced today by the uk. translation: you can choke on your sanctions in britain. l we didn't know what britain was for a thousand years and we don't want to know now. you are american lapdogs. applause. but the punishment is for the vicious suppression of the protests and the torture of hundreds of detainees. after such brutality, i wanted to know how alexander lukashenko could possibly stay on as president. translation: it's fake, dear girl. - it's fake. why would they be tortured? they weren't even under investigation. if people had bruises, they got them on the streets when they threw themselves at riot police. well, that was quite a performance by lukashenko. obviously, very comfortable and very confident here, sti

andrew jackson for celebrated the fact that he had killed alexander hamilton. everybody in the west thought that burr was a great man. and when he talked about, it's hard to know what he said but when he talked about an independent future for the west, it was entirely consistent with american including that of philosophy of the. thomas jefferson. but even more important, it was the almost inevitable outcome of geography. because once you cross the mount, the rivers all ran down -- they were the avenues of transport. and jefferson himself sometimes wondered whether louisianans faith was with the united states. so, uber was simply -- i don't know if he was articulating, or simply letting people articulate what they thought their future might be. because if you lived in new orleans, in 1805, it took forever to get to washington or new york. and you could well ask yourself, how can those people in the east govern? that was part of what he was up to. would he have confused -- waged war against the united states? i doubt it. he only had 50 guys. so, he did not have a

alexander lukashenko now firmly back in control. a year ago this entire square and all the streets around it were crammed full of protesters. it was opposition to president alexander lukashenko on a scale like he had never seen before. but now there is no public sign at all of that challenge because so many people have been arrested since then that the others have been scared into silence. maria was one of the faces of the protest. touring the country, rallying mass crowds. tomorrow she goes on trial for attempting to overthrow the authorities. her father hasn't been allowed to see her since her arrest. translation: she told me "whatever sentence i get, i i'm ready for that." she writes to me all the time, that we'll meet against soon. everything will be ok. but belarus today feels anything but ok — even our meeting is being monitored from the shadows. sarah rainsford, bbc news, minsk. the foreign office has confirmed its urgently investigating the suspected hijacking of an oil tanker off the coast of the united arab emirates. sev

alexander lukashenko calls this his "big conversation." though for over eight hours he did most of the talking. exactly a year after his controversial re—election as president, we were in minsk to question him on the mass protests and the repression that followed. and, on international sanctions, including new measures introduced today by the uk... translation: you can choke on your sanctions in britain. l we didn't know what britain was for a thousand years and we don't want to know now. you are american lapdogs. applause. but the punishment is for the vicious suppression of the protests and the torture of hundreds of detainees. after such brutality, i wanted to know how alexander lukashenko could possibly stay on as president. translation: it's fake, dear girl. it's fake. why would they be tortured? they weren't even under investigation. if people had bruises, they got them on the streets when they threw themselves at riot police. well, that was quite a performance by lukashenko. obviously, very comfortable and very confident here, sti

so, that commitment and that early relationship with alexander hamilton i think is fascinating. many of us might have the feeling we've come to know him and we feel close to him now. even those of us who are not historians who are just listening to this in our car or we are lucky enough to see the play, i think we're influenced by your work. but could you tell us what are some of the things that we know we may not know about alexander hamilton. even if we know him what are we missing? one of the things that are fascinating that the average american doesn't know? >> well the base answer to that and i guess the most serious answer to that is that the play draws a very particular image of him. so it does a good job of capturing his personality to some degree. it's he is difficult he never shuts up and he doesn't know how to stifle himself in any way and he gets in a lot of fights. you see all of that in the play. with the play doesn't do so much,... i'm not sure i'd expect musical theater to do so much of this, but as a politician, he had very strong feelings. and they weren't all
