To talk about the impending homelessness avalanche we have to 1st ignore the fact that our government could totally bail people out and keep them in their homes not only have they already bailed out big banks and wall street to the tune of 4. 00 trillion dollars but you also have to remember that the pentagon has over 21. 00 trillion dollars of unaccounted for adjustments on their books over the past 20 years sure there is plenty of money money is not a problem money is an idea its a concept right and the u. S. Government has no unlimited imagination as philosopher alan watts once put it saying theres not enough money to do something its like a builder saying theres not enough inches to build a house here is the wood the nails the hammers hes just out of inches.

Where is he . What are you doing in the back . For anyone who has not heard of john milton hooper, shame on you. He wrote an awardwinning biography of Woodrow Wilson, and he has been enormously hopeful to us over the years, appearing many times, but also helping us unpack some of the difficult issues around Woodrow Wilson. The subject of todays conversation. So, in 1978, when the Wilson Center was 10 years old, we were charged by congress with creating a Hubert Humphrey fellowship in social and political thought. Good idea. The idea was that a quote, distinguished scholar, statesman, or cultural figure would deliver a lecture honoring humphreys legacy, which makes sense since he was a founding father of this place, as well as Vice President , senator, and dedicated public servant.

Frances Folsom Cleveland was a celebrity first lady unlike almost any before her, and the mass production of her image to sell a variety of goods by the American Consumer industry in the mid1880s angered both her and her husband, president Grover Cleveland. To help us understand the Frances Cleveland sensation sweeping the country, we begin our story inside 1600 pennsylvania avenue as a curious nation waited for the details of a 49yearold bachelor president marrying his 21yearold bride inside the white house for the first and only time in our countrys history, launching Frances Cleveland into instant celebrity. Youre standing in the cross hall of the modern white house. Its the same basic layout as it would have been on june 2, 1886, when president Grover Cleveland and his bridetobe, Frances Folsom, came down what was then the large staircase to the family quarters at the west end of this corridor. They would have proceeded down the hallway. The music started up at the east side behind
