Six years. Peter scott, one of the things that john and i have discussed with many of our guests is interpretation on Civil War Battlefield parks. We have also talked about the partnerships with academics and we have seen with many of our guests, including our guest on thursday, nina Silver Silver was one of the first historians that came to the park and had conversations with the park staff about ways to broaden the interpretation of gettysburg and time and time again john and i have noticed that these connections between academics and public historians, you cannot conclude there is this a great gulf between these two sides as i think there once was. I thought we could open by having you reflect upon how battlefield interpretation, how it changed over time during your career and if you wouldnt mind, i would be interested in what you see as opportunities as we look ahead.

Senate, the trial against president bill clinton. Joining us here is alexis simmon burgers. We had never seen anything like this before. The last trial was in the 1860s. No television with Andrew Johnson. What do you remember about what happened and how this transpired . The senate trial was fascinating. A trial that it called but its not a legal proceeding. It is very political. It had so many interesting dynamic characters involved in it. Robert byrd, senator byrd of was virginia, stalwart constitutional scholar. Not a supporter or friend of bill clinton in any particular way. He ended up at one point just throwing up his hands and saying , this should not have even happened. The trial was misguided. That hehis colleagues was going to introduce a motion to dismiss the whole thing. Senators played different roles. The house managers were fascinated to listen to the president legal team.

Two distinct groups have been out searching for young madyson for about 24 hours. About 75 santa cruz officers are also tracking down leads and contacting 20 sex offenders. Volunteers have shown up to help search under the guidance of police. However, investigators insist this is not a kidnapping. Were not calling this a kidnapping.
