Is that washington is a bit of an enigma to a modern obvious modern audience. We do early we really dont know who he was, how he looked. When i show you these images images are of three of our noteworthy president s. Every 10 years or so, about 700 political scientist and historians around the country rank our president. Current president is going to rank. Whenever those rankings come out, these three guys here rank at the top. Lincoln, it will be sometimes it will be washington come some sometimes it will be fdr, but the interesting thing about this is we do not know what george really looks like. We had images of lincoln, photographed images and you can follow those photographs over time and see how he changed, how he aged and of course we have images of fdr and we have images of him in his wheelchair.

Gettysburg College Annual summer conference. It is my pleasure this afternoon to introduce earl hess. Earl is the stuart w. Mcclelland chair in history at Lincoln Memorial university in tennessee. He is the author of more than 20 books. I have a long list here. Actually, one of my favorite books of earls. One of earls books i read in graduate school and is one of the finest and one of the very first books to explore soldier motivation and ideology. It is an outstanding book. But he has done any others that include pickets charge, a book on field fortifications. A book on Braxton Bragg as well. A lot of people dont love Braxton Bragg. Im not sure you will love him after you read earls book, but it is a fair and well researched, deeply analytical look at that controversial general. Earl has won a number of awards, including the tom watson price for his book on civil war tactics, something he will be speaking about today. And i should note, this book fighting for atlanta, is published by

Differences that me a guarantee of stability in a country beset by economic problems by the 2 have been trading accusations over the past few weeks raising fears of a prolonged political impasse. To this. But when lawrence is a professor at George Washington University Elliott school of International Affairs he says despite and not in success theyve lost significant support in recent years i was surprised that neither did so badly theyve gone from 37 to 27 to 17 percent of the vote in the 3 successive parliamentary or constitutional elections and thats a significant drop off tunis was founded 3 months ago but it was founded by mr karzai the one in jail who was a Founding Member of needed so to in some sense since. Nearly 40 percent the last elections and the party derived from them got only 15 percent i dont see that as a huge success i see that as a bit of a failure to and the next parties are unknown so what we have is a fractured and potentially fractious Parliament Coming together
