I never saw his face. By the time the smoke had gone so had he. Brilliant, brilliant one of our top agents from section two almost gets himself killed playing in the sand. Those footprints on the beach, why couldnt we make casts. Whoever it was smoothed over the sand with a palm branch. Six thirtyeight and a half hours wasted. Its about time that i took charge. For what . To foul up again . About the only thing that youve accomplished is making our undercover agent a suspect. Supposing Harry Williams were a suspect. Its happened before, thrush agents infiltrating our security. If you really were a thrush agent, williams. What would you do, mr. Cutter . Well, id know how to get the truth out of him, mr. Kuryakin. How . Since you were last here, a bonus has been added to the endurance course, its called the pit. If we were able to convince the trainees that you really were a thrush agent, williams, we might be able to get the men we want. Yeah, that wouldnt track out, gentlemen. Nah, the
While we here in america think we discover and invent and improve faster than any of them. Unquote. I think maybe when he said that, lincoln recognized he was on thin ice. He said they may think this is arrogance but they cannot deny that russia has called on us. In other parts of asia, they scarily know that such things as steam boats and railroads exist. In anciently inhabited countries, the dust of ages, a real down right old fogyism, there he is again, seems to settle upon and smotherter intellectual energies of man. While neither appreciating them, lincoln like many 19th century nationalists pandered to his audience while talking about the virtues of the United States. At the expense of degrading other people, it was lincolns decision to convince his fellow countrymen that they would be next on the great stage of history. And it was a successful strategy to flatter voters into thinking about the ascend into National Prom negligence. But lincoln did put his money where his mouth wa
Every one of you for being a wonderful attentive audience. Thank you so much. [ applause ] questions for our speaker . Lincoln approached notnothing voters during the 1860 campaign. Did he announce them or try to win them over to the republican . Or how did he fdo that . He said how do you want to welcome those people . I will welcome the nonothings if they will accept in the entirety the republican platform, which does not include exclusion. When lincolns people went out and campaigned and somebody would say, well, what does your boy think about immigration . Lincoln instructed them to tell them that there will be no prejudice at all based on immigration and ethnicity, and theyre more than welcome to vote for the republican ticket, meaning him, but they should not expect the naturalization laws will be increased. They should not expect theres going to be any one group preferable for the other. They should expect there immigrants to fulfill the labor shortage that the civil war created
Into law by lincoln five years earlier and the only one in that original group founded in lincolns home state. Indeed one of the reasons i was drawn to come to illinois last year to take the job as law dean is the prospect that the university of illinois can build upon the legacy of, and become linked with lincoln in the way the university of virginia is associated with Thomas Jefferson. Who to my mind was not as great a president and not as great a person. This brings me to a fourth question, why bob woodward . That might be the easiest one of all. Many people consider the New York Times the countrys newspaper of record. But bob woodward of the rival Washington Post is americas reporter of record. He has been at the post for 45 years and is responsible for two of its Pulitzer Prizes for investigative coverage of water gate and also 9 11. But mr. Woodward is much more than a reporter. He has an inciteful and prolific historian of, among other things, americas president s. In this regar
America. But they needed assistance to do so. He asked congress to pass a bill, and Congress Responded on july 4th, 1864, with the first, last, and only time america passed a law to encourage immigration. Lincolns act to encourage immigration was a signature piece of legislation that many of you, who i know have been familiar during the civil war celebration, went by without a single moments attention. Lincoln knew that immigrants played a major role in the building of industrial america, and to his dying day he related to the immigrant in a manner that few of his contemporaries would or could. He told an amusing story about being poor and being able to relate to immigrants. Once again he went back to his flat boat voyage. 8 a month he earned, and he owned one pair of buckskin breeches. Now if you know the nature of buckskin when wet and dried in the sun, lyincoln reminisces, it will shrink. And my britches kept shrinking. And wilhile i was growing talle they were growing shorter and a
