that we're not just, you know, these broken people coming back, incapable of succeeding within society. >> woodruff: all that and more on tonight's pbs newshour. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> lincoln financial-- committed to helping you take charge of your financial future. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions: >> this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> woodruff: the republican presidential frontrunner, donald trump, has won one key victory tonight, and in so doing, knocked one of his competitors out of the race. the associated press projects trump will win the republican primary in florida, over home- state senator marco rubio, who just a short while ago, suspended his campaign. the story's different in ohio, where tv networks project that governor john kasich has scored a win over trump. it's still too early to call the republican races in north carolina, missouri and illinois. but back in florida, senator rubio spoke this evening to disappointed supporters in miami hv?ç=>> while it is not god'sn that i be president in 2016 or maybe ever. and while today my campaign is suspended.yzirñ the fact that i've even come this far is evidence of how special america truly is. and all the reason more why we must do all we can to ensure that this nation remains a special place. i ask the american people do not give into the fear. do not give into the frustration. we can disagree about public policy, we can disagree about it vibrantly, passionately. but we are a hopeful people? we have every right to be hopeful. >> ifill: it's also a good night so far for the democratic frontrunner, hillary clinton. the associated press has projected clinton the winner in florida over vermont senator bernie sanders. the a.p. projects her the winner in ohio, as well, a state that sanders had hoped to take. and clinton is also being projected the victor tonight in north carolina. it's still too early to make a call in the democratic races in missouri and illinois. clinton has already laid claim to her victories. she addressed supporters in west palm beach, florida a short time ago. >> now we go to caseic headquarters outside cleveland. what's the mood in the hall tonight? >> very happy, gwen. when those calls went up to the networks, big cheers went up in this crowd declaring that john kasich had won his home state in ohio. it's now a question of where he moves on to. tomorrow he's going to be in pennsylvania, the campaign identified that as their next target. of course john kasich was born in mckeys rock, pennsylvania right outside pittsburgh. with rubio dropping out they're hoping he can become now the alternative establishment$u candidate to donald trump. now donald trump losing ohio this does complicate his path to the majority of delegates on the first ballot but it doesn't rule it out. you can build ways in the contest ahead for donald trump to win the first ballot nomination because you have a lot of winner takes all states coming up. but it does complicate that route. john kasich's only hope is really for a contested convention. in order for him to get a first ballot nomination after winning tonight, he would have to win 110% of the delegates yet to be chosen. so he's got to hope for a contested convention. gwen, judy. >> john, which is the very point i think on the minds of people listening. john kasich has not won many states up until now. i mean he won his home state. how does he parlayxx that into winning the nomination. >> that's exactly a good pointed. there is no other state right now where the polls show him in a strong position. they are happy, we've got this pause coming up. this pause now of several weeks between big contests. between early and mid april when the next state contests are. they're going to go out there, they're going to raise money, they're going to visit those states, try to gin up excitement, trying to gin up some enthusiasm to try to propel this along. but right now, this in many ways could be seen with rubio out, a two-man contest between trump and cruz until kasich can prove himself. >> they're saying this really doesn't matter so much but yet tonight we're hearing the kasich people, no one's going to get 1237 delegates. we are going for a contested convention. is that the only passagejohn ka. >> the advisors also say they can build scenarios where he goes to cleveland with the most delegates. but again, he has to see a lot of states where he's not, his standings in the polls now are not high. he's got to see that improve over the next few weeks. he's got to see some enthusiasm start to build. he's got to take a lot of momentum out of ohio for that to happen. >> thanks, john. >> now let's to florida and matt dixon the chief of politico. the democratic side hillary clinton and donald trump, what are you hearing from their campaigns about why they were able to pull this off? >> the story here tonight really is kind of the way exactly everyone thought it was going6g. both secretary clinton's campaign and donald trump campaign has been up in the polls. trump up 19 points over senator marco rubio. so tonight is really sort of the pollsters can breathe a sigh of relief, it kind of went as expected. >> and so tell us more about why it is that florida was such a blow to the home state senator. >> well, he had sort of gotten caught up in the way the rest of the country saw. marco rubio himself had pointed to kind of getting in the weeds of donald trump's points and he indicated that was a bit of regret. by and large he never was reigning in some states like florida. he's a u.s. senator here and been elected> matt, i think for people who are still trying to understand the appeal of donald trump, especially when many in the republican party are saying or a number are saying they can't imagine voting for him. what do you understand from talking to voters and strategists in the republican party in florida why he is so popular there among the republican electorate. go ahead. >> what he does, he doesn't only sort of speak to non-establishmenters sort of the non-political class but he speaks to those who have really been outside of politics. the story here i think largely tonight is since it's not a surprise that clinton and trump won, it's going to be a record turnout or at least recent record turnout. the last two preference presidential primaries have been the local authorities and the number aren't there but there's a chance to get 50% turnout here and that is the donald trump expanding the electorate and really sort of speaking to and speaking the language of people who are not only outside of the political class but don't vote. >> matt, is this the end of marco rubio's political career for now or does he have other things he can still be doing in the state of florida and elsewhere? >> i mean for now, yes. but i would absolutely push back the idea that this is the obituary for marco rubio's political career. he's still definitely, he's seen as somewhat as an awe scendant figure in republican politic. there's an immediate chatter. there has been for a while that he could run for governor here and there are other options. he's still pretty popular here. the sort of people you need from a2b donor and consultant base e still has their support and coalesced when jeb bush went out. his political career is not. >> thank you, matt dixon reporting for us for political bureau chief for politico there in florida. right now we want to go directly to hillary clinton who is speaking to her supporters in florida. >> this is another super tuesday for our campaign. thank you, florida, thank you north carolina, thank you ohio. you know, although we're waiting for final results in illinois and missouri we know we will add to our delegates lead toxt rougy 300 with over two million more votes. we are moving closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november. >> for both the republican and the democratic candidates, the stakes are especially high and uncertain tonight in illinois. for that we turn to amanda vinicky state house bureau chief for illinois public radio and wuis who joins us from chicago. amanda we're still waiting to see the shoes drop in illinois. what are you hearing about who is voting and for whom. >> well, it's a very tight race right now. there are some a hundred thousand precincts in the state of illinois pardon me, 10,000. we only have 17% of those thus far reporting. there are also some indication that turnout was higher than expected in handful or so counties throughout the state. so polls are actually still even open here. right now hillary clinton is in the lead over bernie sanders about 55 to 45%. on the republican side, that is a bit more spread out of course. you have about 11% of that vote that went to marco rubio before of course he dropped out and then you're seeing anh]+en set again it's really early, 22 going each to kasich and ted cruz and then donald trump who had been pulling ahead is in the lead right now again early but with 42% of the votes in republican voters. >> so amanda, are3illinois how e been affected by the troforts in chicago, rahm emanuel, the difficulties he's been facing in the african american community there. how much has all of that affected the vote for president on the democratic side. >> exactly because hillary clinton was born and raised in the chicago suburbs and she does have the support of a lot of the democratic leaders. cook county, chicago, that is the democratic power base really in this state.and yet rahm emane are signs throughout chicago saying that he endorsed hillary. for a lot of people that isn't a good thing following the fallout from a chicago police officers having shot 16 times a chicago black teenager who it was seen that rahm emanuel didn't do enough about it or quick enough or he slipped it under the rug for his own election purposes in winning the mayor's office. so that is a large part of it and why you hear activists and young people in particular say that they're behind bernie sanders. >> you talked about what the democratic base. what is the republican power base in illinois and have they run over to donald!s trump. >> that's weird you see the split with where the voters are going. i think that isgeographic divid. you have on one hand of course the chicago suburbs which have long been seen as a republican strong hold and more mud results but the more conservatives. there are parts of illinois closer to mississippi than they are the city of chicago and that's where ted cruz will do well. when you talk to support issues they say he doesn't need to do this, he doesn't have to run for president. he's been successful. they believe he wants to do it and that's why we're putting their trust and faith in him. >> amanda vinicky for public radio and wuis, thank you. >> thank you. >> we turn to amy walter of the cook political report. so amy a big super night. we know hillary clinton has done well in three out of these five states. but let's talk about the republican first. what do you see. you're looking at those exit polls. >> yes. >> what do you see there that tells you about donald trump's strength going forward especially now that marco rubio's out. >> that's right. donald trump's trump has really been that he's not tied to one segment of the republican party. he's been able to pick apart little pieces off of different factions of the republican> party. yes, he does better among the disaffected or blue collar voters but he does well among the other group. he continued tonight. one thing that stood out for me though all the talk about hillary clinton and all the problems she has going forward on issues of honesty and trustworthiness i asked her primary voters how do they feel about donald trump and his honest and trustworthiness and among republican voters they are evenly divided or feel he's more untrustwoeykç than trustworthy. a lot of voters of republicans saying i don't know if i could vote for him. at least a third in many of these states i don't know if i could vote for him in november. >> like so many of the polls this year seem to be running at odds with one another. tonight just as we've seen in other big election nights, immigration is not at all a top issue for people. >> that's right. it's still the economy that's driving this. and really what's driving this election more than anything else is the frustration with washington and the#r status quo. that's why i think while it's a nice night for john kasich to win ohio, the idea that somebody who is part of the establishment or that the establishment classes can be able to come in, stop donald trump or ted cruz from getting the nomination is kind of outlandish. it's not what republican voters want and i don't think they would be at all happy to see somebody who is not a donald trump or tests whose gotten the second most votes put as the republican nominee. >> really hard for us to understand at least tonight at this point how the republican play book moves forward with rubio out, with kasich saying he's now in it trying to put something together. but let's talk about the democrats for a minute. bernie sanders continues to be a burr in hillary clinton's side. we're now waiting for missouri and illinois. what are you seeing among voters that hillary clinton should be happy about. >> hillary clinton should be happy she won ohio. that's a crown that bernie sanders could wear to say ione t states. critical for democrats in november as well as critical in democratic primary. so the fact that she's able to push back on him i think was really important. i think you're seeing what we- talked about at least every single night we talked about a primary night where she does well is with african american voters and older voters, core democrats. he still does very well among younger voters, among the white man and among non-traditional democratic voters. >> if he didn't do better with women. >> in some states she did better but she loses among white men by a bigger margin than he does with women. listening to the report before us, yes rahm is absolutely a big piece of this. she didn't do as well with african americans as she did with some of the southern states. among latinos, bernie sanders actually carried that contingent with a big percent of the vote in illinois. >> we don't have time to talk about it tonight but a lot of questions in my mind about turnout and how republicans are turning voters out, democrats not so much. >> say that for another day. >> i'my walter, thank you very much.z" >> ifill: in the day's other news, the language and violence in the presidential campaign drew criticism today from both parties in washington. president obama spoke at an annual st. patrick's day luncheon. without directly mentioning donald trump, he deplored what he called the campaign's "vulgar and divisive" rhetoric. >> while some maybe more to blame than others for the current climate, all of us are responsible for reversing it. for it is a cycle that is not an accurate reflection of america, and it has to stop. >> ifill: on the republican side, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he spoke to trump by telephone about attacks on protesters at his rallies. >> we had a good conversation and i mentioned to him that i thought it would be a good idea for him, no matter who starts these violent episodes, to condemn it and discourage it. >> ifill: trump has rejected criticism that he is sowing division. instead, he says he's a "uniter." >> woodruff: the obama administration and its interior department, in a major policy reversal, today banned oil drilling in the atlantic ocean. a plan floated a year ago would have opened drilling lease areas off virginia, the carolinas and georgia. today the department dropped the plan, citing local opposition, plus military and commercial interests. >> ifill: also today, the administration eased the trade embargo on cuba again, five days before president obama travels to havana. the announcement ends the ban on cuban access to international banking. it also opens the way for cubans to play major league baseball, and to relax limits on travel to cuba. >> woodruff: hundreds of migrants who crossed into macedonia from greece yesterday, were forcibly returned today. the group of about 700 had bypassed a border fence and forded a river to gain entry, but they were made to walk back to greece. one syrian woman said she had to shelter her children under plastic bags overnight. >> ( translated ): they told us walk, keep walking, they'll let us in, and we'll be done with all the rain and the cold, but they didn't let us through. we got scared for our children, and up there it's very cold. we didn't have tents or anything with us. >> woodruff: other refugees said they were beaten and stunned with tasers by macedonian forces. >> ifill: the u.s. military now confirms a top islamic state commander has died after being severely wounded in eastern syria. omar al-shishani, an ethnic chechen, was targeted by a u.s. air strike on march 4. a news agency affiliated with isis denied the report of his death. >> woodruff: in myanmar, half a century of military domination formally ended, as parliament elected u htin kyaw to be president. he's a close ally of pro- democracy leader aung san suu kyi. lawmakers broke into thunderous applause when the result was announced. suu kyi says the new president will act as her proxy because she is constitutionally barred from the office. >> ifill: back in this country, the washington, d.c. subway system announced an emergency shutdown starting at midnight, due to safety concerns. officials ordered an inspection of all electrical components on the tracks, after two fires in the last year. the shutdown runs at least into early thursday morning. >> woodruff: the national football league today backed an executive who's acknowledged a link between football and the brain diseases like c.t.e. yesterday, the nfl's top health and safety official said research "certainly" shows a connection. today, a spokesman said the comments "accurately reflect" the league's view. >> ifill: and on wall street, the dow jones industrial average gained 22 points to close above 17,250. the nasdaq fell 21 points, and the s&p 500 slipped three. still to come on the newshour: >> woodruff: now, to north carolina, where donald trump leads in the polls by double digits. despite controversy surrounding his campaign, he continues to attract strong support. we talked to one family with differing politics, spanning three generations, to hear why they're going all in for trump. >> this is my first time voting. being 33, that's kind of crazy, but it says a lot. >> i'm actually a registered democrat, but i'm voting for trump this time. >> this is my first time i've ever worked on political campaign. my family members are joining me, my son, my daughter-in-law, my grandchild. it's been such an awesome experience. >> we just thank you that you're going to use donald trump for your glory in your kingdom, father god. >> amen. >> my biggest point is if you want to be here, conform to the country. if you don't want to be here, go home. i was born in montreal, canada and when i started school, for us, we were told, speak english or you're not going to pass your class. and in today's society, it's like we cater to the people, whatever language they speak. i came in the states, i joined the military, and then i even went and got naturalized, an i'm very proud to say i'm an american citizen. >> hello. my name is grace. i'm a volunteer for donald trump's presidential campaign here in north carolina. this is a very big military town with fort bragg being right there. my father-in-law and my husband are both veterans, and the whole idea of the care the veterans being subpar is very true. my whole family is supporting trump down to my 11-year-old. >> no other candidate stands up for americans like donald trump. >> it was both our idea for him to stay home from school today so he can see democracy in action. >> do we love north carolina? do we love them? [cheering] beautiful. beautiful. >> crowd: u-s-a, u-s-a! >> i think trump's business savvy, his mind, i think he's going to be the best one that's going to be able to help us. our family has been impacted in a very big way by the recession. we definitely at times are living paycheck to paycheck. my husband is having hard time finding work, as well. >> it hurts my pride. i'm a person that is used to being able to take care of my family. one of my biggest goals in life is to give my children an easier life than my own, send them to college, get them good degrees, and right now be what i'm making and how little i'm working, i don't know if i'm going to be able to do that. >> we built massive company. oh, no. get out of here. go home to mom. >> all these protesters and all this stuff and people saying he's racist and the black lives matter, you know what, red lives matter, because when you bleed, we all bleed red. >> he cheers assaults on protesters. this is the very brand of anger that has led other nations into the abyss. >> what mitt romney is doing is only solidifying our reasons why we love donald trump, why we're going to vote for him. >> donald trump is on point when he says this is for the people, this is not for him, that he represents the people and without his people, he wouldn't have nothing. so now we're ready for another day of going out and helping donald trump. >> ifill: now, offering higher education to those who have served. many americans join the military right out of high school. and once they return, some colleges are now giving them a chance to learn at the country's top-tier schools. special correspondent jackie judd reports for our weekly education series, "making the grade." >> reporter: this was the classroom that taught nicole leadenham the lessons of war, during deployments in iraq and afghanistan. >> i left for basic training 10 hours after i graduated high school. so that was going to be what i was going to do. >> reporter: today, this is the 34-year old's classroom; vassar college, in new york's hudson valley. >> i think that this is the time that i was meant to be here, at this stage in my life, where i can really take advantage of the academics and you know, learning. >> reporter: leadenham, a junior and one of 30 post 9/11 vets at vassar, is here because president catherine hill wanted to somehow close the education gap between young people who go off to elite campuses like this one and those who enlist and go off to fight the wars. >> more of the young men and women who are enlisting are coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and it just seems to me that part of the reward or the return for doing that is that they get access to education when they come back. >> reporter: did you feel that this grateful nation notion was words and not action? >> i think the evidence absolutely suggested that it was words and not action. >> reporter: the veterans administration says more than one million vets are using g.i. benefits. most attend public or for-profit schools. the number at top-tier colleges and universities is so small it is not even known. a few years back vassar invested in a campaign to attract veterans to apply. none did, even though their education would have been fully paid for. so, the college turned to the posse foundation, which is expert at reaching non- traditional students. for 25 years, it's been sending groups-or posses-of students to elite colleges; students with academic and leadership potential who don't fit the mold. founder debbie bial thought the same model would work for veterans. >> posse is about helping the top colleges and universities think about how to build a diverse student body. how to get as rich a dialogue going on campus as they possibly can. how to create community and build bridges across the various communities on campus. it made sense to us to include a piece of our population that served the country. >> i think it's going to allow for the trajectory of my life to be more vertical, by virtue of being here. >> reporter: posse veteran michael smith, who grew up on chicago's southside, is a sophomore at wesleyan university in middletown, connecticut. that school joined the program two years ago. >> by virtue of the educational experience i'm getting. by virtue of the skills i'm developing. and by virtue of the resources that are here-- that i just wouldn't have had access to. >> reporter: before arriving on campus, the veterans go through a kind of boot camp in new york. it is four weeks of preparing for rigorous academics, learning how to craft a college term paper and team building--so the vets know, once they arrive here, they have a circle of support when they need it. there are still hurdles. leadenham needed to brush up on some old, forgotten skills. >> i had problems with knowing how to study. that's a very tangible skill that i didn't have anymore, and i couldn't even remember how i had done it before. so i had gone to my professors' office hours, stuff like that, being like, how can i better absorb the material. >> reporter: another vassar vet, eduardo de la torre, lives off campus with his young family. as the leader of a first responder medical unit in iraq, he frequently faced life and death situations. with that past experience and his current family obligations, he admits that mixing with other younger students can be awkward. >> they're like, "yeah, we're going to do a study group today, i'll text you later." and the next thing you know, you're getting a text at midnight, "hey we're going to go meet up at the retreat to go study for an hour over this." so it's been difficult building relationships with the students. >> reporter: wesleyan sophomore bryan stascavage found himself in the middle of a full throated culture clash on the very liberal campus. stascavage, an iraq war veteran and a conservative, was vilified after writing a column for the college newspaper critical of black lives matter. >> the veterans that live here at the house with me looked at me wide-eyed like what did you do, what did you write. i knew that the articles that i were writing were not the prevailing opinion on campus. and i knew that it was only a matter of time when, i like to say, that i connect with a beehive. >> unlike a fighting unit, where you really need cohesion and you all have to point in the same direction, at a university, you can afford dissent and controversy as long as you learn to listen while that's going on. >> reporter: though difficult in the moment, wesleyan president michael roth says the episode ultimately was good for the community. >> that's what you want. because if you're learning to listen, you're learning to learn. >> reporter: it became a teachable moment. >> it became a very teachable moment. >> i don't want to be in an environment where everybody thinks the same as me. because you just don't learn that way. >> i think the military is stereotypically seen as something very conservative, and being in a very liberal campus, you can feel shut off, and you can feel like my voice isn't going to be accepted here, and it's not going to be heard. >> reporter: still, many of the younger, more traditional students clearly appreciate being exposed to the experience and worldview of their ex- military classmates. >> i think it's great because it gives a lot of different perspectives, especially at a liberal school where a lot of people maybe aren't pro- military, per se. >> it's easy in a class to criticize american foreign policy. you know, we're so distant from things like iraq and afghanistan, but when you have a soldier that's been there, it really changes the conversation. >> a student came up to me and said, "i really appreciate you talking about that, because your service reminded me of my grandfather, and he was a world war ii vet, and he was-- it was really hard for him to talk about anything. and it just made me really appreciate your service and what you did for me." that's a meaningful gesture. >> reporter: 1,000 veterans applied to posse for the 30 slots in the next freshman class which, along with wesleyan and vassar, will include dartmouth college in new hampshire. posse's debbie bial expects that in five years about a dozen private liberal arts colleges will be a part of the program, giving other vets opportunities they never would have imagined, while also bringing their hard won perspective to campuses previously shut off to military culture. the veterans also say the program has something to teach the entire country. >> we're capable of more than what we've been pigeonholed into. i think it's important to know that we're not just, you know, these broken people coming back, incapable of succeeding within society. >> reporter: a vassar education has given leadenham the confidence to plan for a future that includes helping other veterans find their own way back from the war. for the newshour this is jackie judd in poughkeepsie, new york. >> woodruff: march madness has arrived, and once again, the university of north carolina is very much in the hunt for a national title. a new book has a behind-the- scenes look at the school's unique history under a coaching legend, and two rivals who became legends in their own right. jeffrey brown has that. >> brown: three universities within 25 miles of one another and a rich basketball history of great rivalries and bitter defeats lansing friendships. three men are at the heart of the tale, dean smith, the hall of fame coach for the university of north carolina for 36 seasons who died last year, jim valvano, the fun-loving, wise-cracking coach who led north carolina state to a surprise national championship in 1983, and died of cancer ten years later, and mike krzyzewski, coach at duke since 1980, winner of five national championships with the most recent coming just last year. their story is told in the new book the legends club. author john feinstein joins me now. welcome, john. why these three? what did they mean to you? >> well, i cut my teeth as a reporter covering for them in the "washington post" in the 1980s. they were all there in the research triangle at the same time. dean smith had been there since the early '60s and was already an iconic figure when mike krzyzewski and jim valvano arrived within nine days of each other at duke and n.c. state. i got to know them all very well. i spent hours and hours late at night with valvano, with krzyzewski, not as much with dean because he was more of an introvert but probably spent more time with him over the years than anyone in the media. as their relationships evolved, it came to me there was a remarkable story to be told. >> brown: this is partly your story, from starting as a young journalism student at duke. >> correct. >> brown: up to today. but for those who don't know the role of basketball, the role of these guys in the state of north carolina, what it is? >> well, you have to understand that until the mid-1990s, there were no professional sports teams in north carolina. acc basketball was king. it still is to a large degree, even though there are three professional sports teams in the state now. and there were great coaches going way back to everett case at n.c. state, frank maguire at north carolina. dean smith succeeded frank maguire and built a dynasty that went on for the 36 years he was there. >> brown: it's a story of friendship, but it certainly didn't start that way. there were all these jealousies, rivalry, anger, charges of double standards. there's a lot of... and everything hinges on who is winning. >> the irony is that when krzyzewski first came into the league, he resented dean smith because dean was the bar. and he did say there was a double standard for dean with referees for dean's team with referees. there was one game where he refused to shake hands at the end of the game because he didn't think the game was over, there should still be time left at the clock. that upset dean that he behaved that way. at one point krzyzewski esen said to his assistant coach, if i ever start to act like him, don't ask any questions, just shoot me. years later he became dean. he became the standard. he became the bar everybody was trying to jump over and he became the guy about whom they said there were double standards and the refs gave duke all the calls. that's when he began to understand dean and respect him more as a result. >> brown: they all ended up in a pantheon, especially the two, dean smith and krzyzewski, but they all flirted with or felt failure at different times. >> absolutely, and you go back the dean in the 1960s in his fourth season, he was hung in effigy after a loss at wake forest and billie cunningham... >> brown: that tells you right there the role of basketball. >> yes. this was on campus. this was the students doing it to him. and billie cunningham was the one who pulled the effigy down. mike krzyzewski was 38-47 after three years at duke, and there was a night in atlanta when they lost 109-66 to virginia in their last game of the season when tom butters, the athletic director who hired him was literally pushed up against a wall in a hotel with boosters demanding that he fire this guy. seven years later, he said he got letters from those same people when krzyzewski was offered the celtics' job saying, pay him anything, but keep him. >> brown: there is part of me that loves college basketball and college sports generally but wants to push become at you here. when we've talked about this on the program, it's the rising role of the coaches, so much emphasis on the coaches. they become the most powerful person in the state in some cases, right, at these universities. and here you are, i want to say, john, are you sort of raising them even higher, by focusing on these three? >> that's a good question, but i think these are three who did it right. i don't apologize at all for saying that they are good men in addition to being great coaches. >> brown: you're saying it's beyond the winning with these guys? >> absolutely. dean smith helped desegregate restaurants in chapel hill in the 1950s when he was still an assistant coach, before he was star, before he had power. he went into a restaurant with black member of his church and basically dared the management not to serve them. jim valvano, when he was dying, started the v foundation, helped by krzyzewski, who was in his hospital room almost every day the last two months of his life, and the v foundation has raised more than $150 million for cancer research. krzyzewski will tell you, that was his greatest coaching job. krzyzewski has raised millions and millions of dollars for charity in north carolina and in durham. he started the emily kay foundation named after his mother, which sends kids with no money to college. and they've had something like 100 college graduates in the last few years. so they all went beyond the basketball court. they were all great coach, but i find them all to be admirable men, and that's why i don't have any trouble saying, yeah, i knew these guys, i spent time with these guys, and i learned from these guys. >> brown: you're writing as fan in an age where there is so much criticism in college sports. what do you want people to take from this story? >> i don't want anyone to think i'm saying there aren't any problems with big-time college athletics. we're rife with them right now. but what i'm trying to say is this is a unique perfect storm. you had two of the four coaches who were on coaching's mount rushmore, krzyzewski and dean smith along with john wooden and bob knight. and you had this third coach, valvano, who has this unique niche because he won this amazing national title in 1983, because, frankly, of the way he died, the famous speech. , you can look it up, the espys speech when he won the award for courage and spoke for 11 minutes and literally passed out when he was finished that everybody still looks at to this day. >> and i got one last thing, i said it before and i'm going to say it again, cancer can take away all my physical abilities. it cannot touch my mind. it cannot touch my heart. and it can not touch my soul. >> i guess the message of the book is these were three special people and the way their relationships evolved from the hostility of the 1980 to genuine love at the end of first jim's life and then at the end of dean's life between them and mike krzyzewski, i think it's unique in the pantheon, as you said, of college athletics. >> brown: all right. the book is "the legends club." john feinstein, thank you. >> thanks for having me. jeff. >> ifill: we'll be back in just a moment. but first, take this time to hear from your local pbs station. it's a chance to offer your support, which helps keep programs like ours on the air. >> woodruff: for those stations still with us, we bring you an encore look at the story of one man's attempt to bring cinema back to the democratic republic of the congo, a place that has seen so much destroyed by war. pbs newshour contributing editor soledad o'brien reports. >> reporter: cinema virunga is just another shell of a building, on another unpaved street in the democratic republic of congo. >> here is where we used to buy our tickets from. >> reporter: oh this is the ticket booth. >> yeah, but now it's the main entry. >> reporter: yet filmmaker petna ndaliko still sees something special behind these rusty gates. he remembers the time he snuck in as a boy. do you remember the first time you came to watch a film? >> oh yeah, i remember. i was still young and i got in illegally. i was not even supposed to be in here to watch that film. >> reporter: what was the movie? >> the film was "black jim le magnifique." it was a film about kung fu. the main character was a black guy and it was so good for me to see a film where a black guy was the main character and it was like-- he was, like, kicking everybody. >> reporter: cinema virunga was a rare sight. the only modern theater for hundreds of miles. it had opened in 1955, when congo was a belgian colony, to serve the booming population of goma-- a city in the shadow of a volcano that beckoned tourists. inspired by cinema virunga, ndaliko became a filmmaker. yet by the 1990's, cinema virunga itself was no more. the rwandan genocide had forced a million refugees into goma and the cinema became refugee housing. after the crisis, a series of civil wars kept it closed. what's lost when you don't have cinema? >> not having a cinema, it is missing that moment of a "wow". that wow. dream and it is that dreaming big. being capable of imagine things from just your room and then come up with this crazy beautiful idea and that's that is what cinema brings to people. >> reporter: now ndaliko wants to bring that "wow" moment back to the congo. it needs a little work. the building briefly housed a nightclub, then government offices, now storage. how much work does bringing back the cinema require? >> wiring of installation for the power, we have to redo all of it. we have to also insulate so that we can have a good sound isolation inside here. and then all this speakers-- we have to put new ones. we have to add all the curtain. the roof, we sort of have to re- do the entire roofing. >> reporter: ndaliko is not the only one dreaming of a cinema. he started a film school in goma ten years ago, yole africa, where there are dozens of students with a message in search of an audience. >> i dreamed one day to become a filmmaker to change the way of thinking of my people. >> reporter: young filmmakers like yannick chishibanji have a new narrative to share: that goma, their city, is coming back. >> when you have 20 years, 25 years, all this generation was grown in the war. we didn't have so much good examples. >> reporter: new goma is emerging from war. the students' films touch on modern issues like women in the workplace, and reconciliation. a cinema would bring those stories to life. do you think it makes a difference if they see a film here, or if maybe one day there was a big cinema where the community could go? >> if there is one cinema, i think that every night we can hope that 100 persons who have been changed. >> reporter: you think that cinema is powerful enough to change the hearts and minds of people? >> of course. >> reporter: getting there is half the battle. to make a film, the school uses a gas-fueled generator to power cameras and computers because the electricity often goes out. the wi-fi is also unreliable. chishebanji made a film anyway, all about his country. it's about a man choosing between reconciliation and revenge after his family is attacked. >> sometimes we think that it is the other person who is our problem. >> reporter: and in your film, who is the problem? >> the problem is the way of seeing things, the communitarianism, the tribalism. >> reporter: communitarianism and tribalism. without cinema virunga, the only public space for a film about those issues might be a street cinema with blaring sound and blurry images. there are places to watch films now. there are sort of makeshift movie houses if you will. why is a cinema better than that, or different from that? >> because the cinema take you into the film itself. and watching on the dvd, the quality is not the same. and also create this space where a family can sit and enjoy and have their popcorn. it is a different experience and also be in a cinema and feel safe with other people. it is very important psychologically for the people around here. >> reporter: what do you mean? >> yeah, like, be in this dark place. you are with more than 200 people and then you still feel safe. >> reporter: does that not happen in goma? >> not often, not often. >> reporter: and is that because of all the conflict. >> because of all the conflicts. >> reporter: yole africa tries to create that feeling with an annual festival of film and art, with dj's pumping and music thumping, kids spinning wildly in the air, with a dance contest. ndaliko's wife, cherie, sees the difference public art can make. >> it's incredible to see what happens when they learn that they can tell their own story, and in their version of the story they can be the hero. >> reporter: without cinema, the best yole africa can do is fly in a blow up screen from north carolina. it deflates if the power fails, fights to be heard over street noise, and ndaliko's worry about being out at night. but as that familiar rectangle of light appears something magic is happening too. a wow moment-- even if just once a year. for the pbs newshour, i'm soledad o'brien in the democratic republic of congo. >> now recapping results from the day's presidential primaries, republican races in north carolina and missouri are still undecided. but the associated press reports donald trump has won florida over home state senator marco rubio. that prompted rubio to announce he is suspended66 his campaign. trump is also now being projected the winner in illinois. john kasich fought off something in his home state and declared this evening he's fired up. >> i want you to know the campaign goes on. and i also want you to know that it's been my intention to make you proud. it's been my intention to have young people all across this country watch somebody and enter into politics, even though i labored in obscurity for so long, people counting me out. people in ohio saying why don't they ever call on him, okay. they get all that. but we put one foot in front of the other, and i want to remind you again tonight that i will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. >> and on the democratic side, hillary clinton has put three big states in her win column. she is the9f projected winner in ohio over bernie sanders scoring a crucial victory in the mid west. clinton is also projected to win florida as well as north carolina. there is no call yet in missouri or in illinois but clinton says she's quote, moving closer to capturing the democratic nomination. now let's wrap up this super tuesday sequel and go back to john yang in ohio. we're joined by amy walter from the cook political report. john yang you have started this out by being in the kasich headquarters all night. but i want to ask you about hillary clinton. they would have had a bad night had they lost ohio. where did she do well and where did bernie sanders do not what he hoped. >> that really is the other big story here in ohio. bernie sanders did not capitalize on the extra money, extra time he spent in north eastern ohio. an area where manufacturing jobs have gone away. i talked to a couple people, democratic voters this afternoon. they said they really liked bernie sanders. they liked what he was saying but they didn't think he was practical. they wondered how he was going to pay for things particularly his healthcare proposal and his college tuition proposal. so as a result, they ended up voting for hillary. gwen. >> amy walters 3w50eu9 way the associated press is projected donald trump is the winner on the republican side in the state of north carolina which brings us amy to the question where does donald trump go from here. if you're donald trump what do you take away from tonight. >> you have three big wins in three different states and you go away saying the window is closing right now for this stop trump movement. it's2republicans have been sayiu don't like donald trump, you will be coalesced when you have one candidate that will be able to take him on and make the case for those voters who don't want to support him. but they have still yet to do that. we now have a smaller race but still a three-way race in a three-way divided race donald trump has proven time and again when it's divided, he can win. >> no one candidate -- >> that's right. the question we'll be talking here on out about delegates and whether or not donald trump has enough delegates to make it. if he does well enough in missouri and illinois he can make up some of the delegates he lost in ohio. >> yesterday you hesitated to stay this is a broker convention. >> i'm still hesitating. in illinois and miouri, might not be. >> thanks amy. thank you amy walter here with us and john yang in ohio. >> woodruff: and that's the newshour
