NOW THE FOURTH A RECENT CONFERENCE. HOSTED HISER TO COMBRANS AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS TO EXPLORE SUCCESSFUL... |
| 00:00:35 |
|
PROFESSOR PAYNE HAS BEEN THE SITE MANAGER. HE HAS ALSO DONE OTHER WORK ON HARDING. HE GRADUATED,... |
| 00:05:33 |
|
DO I NEED TO PUT THE MICROPHONE ON? I GUESS A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. ONE IS, WHEN I STARTED MY CAREER... |
| 00:21:09 |
|
I WANT TO THANK LARRY FOR INVITING ME HERE. IF IT'S INTERESTING, IF SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR SOMEONE OF... |
| 00:57:27 |
|
WELL, I'M NOT A HISTORIAN. I'M A POLICY ANALYST AND RECOVERING LAWYER. AND AS I GOT INTO WRITING A... |
| 01:00:58 |
|
LAST. |
| 01:01:01 |
|
NEXT TO LAST OR LAST ON ALMOST EVERY MODERN POLL AS FAR AS I REMEMBER. THIS IS HARDING, WHO FREEDOM... |
| 01:11:05 |
|
THANK YOU. NOW, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THEY MIGHT LIKE TO ASK OF THESE GENTLEMEN? ALL RIGHT.... |
| 01:12:29 |
|
WELL, ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID, THAT REMINDS ME OF A STORY. WHILE SENATOR JOHN F. KENNEDY PUT HIS NAME... |
| 01:15:10 |
|
GO AHEAD. |
| 01:15:13 |
|
LOOKING AT WHEN DID THEY START THINKING ABOUT THEIR LEGACY, FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS HARDING DOESN'T... |
| 01:16:55 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD ANSWER DEFINITIVELY WHEN PRESIDENTS STARTED TACKING ABOUT THEIR LEGACY. I... |
| 01:18:06 |
|
I WOULD TAKE IT BY THE WAY THAT IT WOULD BE YOUR OPINION THAT PRESIDENTS OUGHT NOT TO BE CONCERNED... |
| 01:18:36 |
|
YEAH. SURE. I WOULD LIKE FOR PRESIDENTS TO BE LESS CONCERNED WITH THEIR LEGACY BUT LIKE MANY OTHER... |
| 01:19:58 |
|
GENTLEMEN, WE SHALL HAVE A BLESSING UPON YOU. |
| 01:20:02 |
|
THIS GOES TO THE QUESTION BUT MAYBE A COMMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF LEGACY FORMATION. THE FIRST TWO GENERATIONS... |
| 01:20:59 |
|
I'LL PUT THAT TO OUR PANEL. LET ME TELL YOU THAT WHEN JOE ELLIS WAS HERE RECENTLY, HE MAKES THE POINT... |
| 01:22:21 |
|
I THINK MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE ALWAYS AMBITIOUS FOLKS WHO WERE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR STANDING IN... |
| 01:24:39 |
|
I GUESS I WOULD JUST ADD TO THAT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THE PART I'M ALSO MORE INTERESTED IN, PERHAPS... |
| 01:25:27 |
|
BY THE WAY, JUST BY THE BY, C-SPAN'S HERE, SEE PAN HAS HAD A TREMENDOUS IMPABBLINGT WHEN THEY SHOW... |
| 01:25:38 |
|
IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT AFTER GRANT'S PRESIDENCY, HE DID SOMETHING THAT NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVER... |
| 01:25:57 |
|
NO I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT AT ALL. THAT'S WHY I REALLY DON'T LIKE TO SAY HE'S GREAT OR HE'S HORRIBLE,... |
| 01:27:30 |
|
THANK YOU, LARRY. ON THIS QUESTION OF PRESIDENTIAL GREATNESS AND -- THAT'S ACHIEVED THROUGH THE BATTLEFIELD... |
| 01:28:39 |
|
I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF -- IT TIES IN TO HARDING, HARDING'S A POST-WAR PRESIDENT. HE TALKED... |
| 01:29:51 |
|
WELL, ALSO AS DAVID HAS POINTED OUT BEFORE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALWAYS CLEAR THAT -- IT'S CERTAINLY... |
| 01:30:46 |
|
I THINK IN BLAMING PRESIDENTS, WE'RE BY PASSING OURSELVES HERE. WE LIKE WAR AS LONG AS WE'RE WINNING... |
| 01:31:30 |
|
LOOK AT WASHINGTON. |
| 01:31:36 |
|
THAT GETS VERY LITTLE PLAY. |
| 01:31:38 |
|
I'VE BEEN LOSING MY VOICE OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY BUT I THINK MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS THIS -- SO... |
| 01:32:31 |
|
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SORT OF THE WAY THINGS PLAY -- [INAUDIBLE] MY VOICE BOOMS OUT AT ME. ARE YOU... |
| 01:33:51 |
|
I THINK YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN GRANT LEFT OFFICE IN 1877 HE WASN'T VIEWED BY MANY PEOPLE... |
| 01:34:50 |
|
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? I'M NOT SURE THAT I REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORT OF WHAT YOU WERE ASKING.... |
| 01:35:26 |
|
I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING MORE IS THAT WE SEEM TO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT'S VERY... |
| 01:36:17 |
|
I THINK IN A CERTAIN RESPECT, MAYBE THIS IS GETTING TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SOMETIMES, WHEN... |
| 01:36:56 |
|
I WAS THINKING, SOMETHING BROOKS MENTIONED JUST A MOMENT AGO ABOUT GRANT AND HOW HE WAS NOT VIEWED... |
| 01:38:16 |
|
I THINK PARTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS VERY RELEVANT NOW AND IT'S ALSO RELEVANT WITH THESE LARGE... |
| 01:38:51 |
|
OR MAYBE HE NEED TO SHRED A LOT OF DOCUMENTS. |
| 01:38:53 |
|
MAYBE SO. IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT THEY SIMPLY WON'T WRITE ABOUT HIM. SO LOOK AT NUMBER OF THINGS THEY'VE... |
| 01:39:50 |
|
LET US TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION AND THEN WE'LL, AFTER THIS ONE, I THINK THAT IT WILL PROBABLY BE TIME... |
| 01:39:59 |
|
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WORST PRESIDENTS AND TALKING ABOUT WHY THEY'RE SO RANKED. GENE WAS SUGGESTING... |
| 01:40:59 |
|
I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED CREDIT. BECAUSE CREDIT ACTUALLY OCCURRED DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF ANDREW... |
| 01:42:46 |
|
I THINK IT WAS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON HARDING WAS RANKED. PROBABLY WITH HARDING I WOULD SAY, WE... |
| 01:44:37 |
|
IS THERE A CRITERIA OF HIERARCHY FOR RANKING A PRESIDENT NEGATIVELY? THAT WAS MY QUESTION. WHAT ARE... |
| 01:44:49 |
|
DO OR SHOULD? THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. BECAUSE WHAT I'M SUGGESTING HERE IS THAT, FOR EXAMPLE,... |
| 01:46:42 |
|
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION. I TOOK YOUR QUESTION TO MEAN, AND BY THE WAY, I, TOO, THOUGHT CREDIT OCCURRED... |
| 01:47:32 |
|
PRETTY MUCH, YES. YOU PUT IT BETTER THAN I DID BUT THAT WAS THE GIST I WAS TRYING TO GET AT. I WAS... |
| 01:47:45 |
|
ONLY THE REVERSE ANSWER, NO INSTEAD OF YES. |
| 01:47:47 |
|
OK. ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE -- LET ME SAY THAT, LET'S SEE, 5:45 IS |
