Now three podcast radio.com forever you get your show to get smarter, faster, and now page from our Sunday morning almanac September 9, 1942, 76 years ago today. The day the United States mainland came under enemy attack during World War II that was the day pilot Nobuo Fujinon firebombed a forest near Brookings, Oregon, launched from a submarine off the Pacific Coast Fujinon piloted a small plane to a spot just north of the California border. As he recalled years later, my withdrawal or removal.

Daylight out at midnight. I did not think that would come back alive. He dropped to incendiary bombs, neither of which touched off the massive fire that was hoped for, and despite his fears, he did make it back alive. 20 years later Fujinon made a return trip to Brookings this time as a guest at the annual Azalea Festival by Sherry said I did not know how we would react me. I thought there would close in the light or were those Psalm objected to his visit. No objects were thrown and he presented the town with a samurai sword as a gesture of peace, Nobuo Fujinon paid other visits to Brookings before dying in 1997 at the age of 85. His sword remains on display at the Brookings library while his mission is remembered nearby on a very special Oregon Trail known as the bomb site trail before there were podcasts there was television.

Remember, see what's new under the sun every Sunday morning tearing down early divisive walls is more than just a dream. It's reality in the town. Steve Hartman has just revisited. Even though this neighborhood in Somerville. South Carolina is predominantly black. No one really noticed when any could go seven years ago will about at least as we reported a few months ago. No one really noticed at first when she came, until little while later she starved Confederate flag's so we did a very public fight with the neighbors protested in front of her house divided, protesters stand in your neighbors put up walls on both sides of her property to block the view. Annie put up a taller flagpole would you get my hackles raised. I don't back down. Eventually the war settled into a stalemate of sorts.

There were no more marches, walls, no taller flagpole's just a quiet bitterness on both sides until Annie had a change of heart, quite literally, when you have a heart attack in your being told you're not going live very long. You're facing your mortality. I needed to clean up the messes that I made, but being so stubborn she started with one of her peers as critics of the local community resource Center, Lewis Smith and she said I have decided to take well fly not long after she presented the flag and he says, before her health scare.

She only saw the Confederate flag through her eyes as a way to honor relatives who fought for the South but after she says that argument seemed so we get people to be less stubborn without the heart attack part that would be lovely but sometimes it takes a serious action to happen to you before you see your actions on others. Since the story first aired things have only gotten better.

Last month Annie's neighbors return the favor by taking down the walls down any. I feel like they welcomed me with open arms. Today I have never felt so much love and care in America. Some people love to build will put up this one flock this great country that we loved hearing coming soon. Most obituaries podcast on matters of death and life from Mo Rocca, Watergate journalist Bob Woodward made headlines once again this past week with his new book about the Trump White House entitled fear for his first broadcast interview Bob Woodward sat down with our David Martin you look at the operation of this White House and you have to say. Let's hope to God we don't have a crisis for Bob Woodward. That is the bottom line to all the jaw-dropping chaos and discord described in his new book, fear Trump in the White House, published by Simon & Schuster, a division of CBS people work for him are worried that he will sign things or give orders that threaten the national security or the financial security of the country with the world age, including then chief economic advisor Gary Cohen and White House staff secretary Rob Porter literally stole documents like this one off the president's desk in the Oval Office so he wouldn't sign them because they realize that this would in danger the country out of a get away with it.

He doesn't remember if it's not on his desk if it's not immediately available for action. It goes away on elected officials like Conan Porter, intentionally thwarting the actions of the elected present the exact reverse of what a White House staff is supposed to do.

Going back to Richard Nixon and Watergate.

This is the ninth White House Woodward is covered in the eight others. I never heard of people on the staff in the White House engaging in that kind of extreme action in Woodward's telling Donald Trump does not see America as the indispensable nation. He sees it as an international sucker taken advantage of by allies and trading partners who complained his advisors don't know anything about business. All they want is to protect everybody that we pay for. According to Woodward, the president is obsessed by the fact the US pays $3.5 billion a year to station troops in South Korea is the first line of defense against I don't know why they're there. He said at one meeting, let's bring them all home at another meeting, Secretary of Defense James matters. Starkly explain why the US has 28,000 troops in Korea were doing this in order to prevent World War III. The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies. We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea standoff with North Korea has been eased for the moment by the Singapore Summit which brought together two leaders would been trading nuclear threats and schoolyard insults rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.

The president later made that little rocket man on Twitter which he told staff secretary Rob Porter may be my best ever. When Porter asked if it might provoke him. The president replied its leader versus leader man versus me me versus the most dangerous moment of the standoff, Woodward says came when the president went to work on another tweet he drafts a tweet saying we are going to pull out dependence from South Korea family members of the 28,000 people that tweet was never sent.

Because of a back channel message from North Korea that it would regard to pull out of dependence is assigned the US was preparing to attack at that moment there was a sense of profound alarm in the Pentagon leadership that my God one tweet and we have reliable information that the North Koreans are going to read this as an attack is imminent. President surrounded himself with generals active duty and retired all of whom, and served in Afghanistan before he decided on a new Afghan strategy.

He insisted on meeting with the list serve there as well going to be talking to you about Afghanistan.

What you think your views meeting the next day he lashed out at the general. I don't care about you guys, he said to matters joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford and then national security advisor HR McMaster soldiers on the ground could run things better than you. He says to madness and Dunford and there is a 25 minute dressing down of the generals and senior officials in a recent tweet. The president acknowledged him tougher sell on people and if I were nothing would get done when he didn't like a trade deal commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross had negotiated with China president lit into him at a White House meeting. It's a terrible deal. We got screwed your past her prime.

You're not a good negotiator anymore.

You've lost. I don't trust you. You have just when economic advisor. Cohen was upset over the president's reluctance to condemn white supremacist violence in Charlottesville. He wouldn't office to resign from said you can't resign. I need you to do tax ruffle and said if you leave this is treason and from talked him out of resigning, afterwards Chief of Staff John Kelly would been in the room pulled him aside: wrote this down quote from Gen. Kelly that was me, I would've taken that resignation letter and shoved it up his six different times." The president has been bracing for Woodward's book since last month when the two lamented, or at least pretended to lament that they had not talked Woodward recorded the phone conversation with the president's permission and you know I'm very open to you. I think there world last week, when the contents of fear began to leak ahead of schedule publication. The president said it was worse than bad. The book is a work of fiction. If you look back in Woodward's past you the same problem with other presidency likes to get publicity sell some books so think books to his complaints about thinking you ready for a tweet storm directed at you. I been there before. I respect I don't spend type of journalism. Shabby journalism is practiced by the Washington Post. Woodward stories written with Carl Bernstein on Richard Nixon and Watergate were repeatedly denounced until the White House was forced to apologize working on this book, Woodward says he went back to the days of his youth when he and Bernstein.

By Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in the movie all the Presidents men made late-night visits to the homes of potential sources away from the Washington Post.

I want to thank you in one case I called somebody at 11 o'clock at night and said I'd like to talk yeah yeah will get to witness it will about now. Said now it's 11 o'clock at night.

I said four minutes away.

Okay, come on over for one, he doesn't identify resources, but most readers will conclude he talked to both Gary Cohen and Rob Porter along with several other White House officials who quickly were far the criticism would be if Dr. people who have an ax to grind against present that's just not true. Which is not true look. I talked to dozens and dozens of people and have notes and documentation. Lots of things Woodward quotes harsh criticism of the president from some of his closest advisors Chief of Staff Kelly called his boss. Secretary of Defense Matta said the commander-in-chief acted like and have the understanding of 1/5 or sixth grader. Both men have denied saying such things in the president continues to denounce the book at every turn. Like these guys are right books of the put phony quotes at all of totally phony quotes I missed totally like fraudulent books like fraudulent book is the quotes just not the way he speaks, and the culture fabricated when he said he's wrong and my reporting is meticulous and careful in a second interview with CBS Sunday morning. Wilbur said he had multiple sources for every claim in the book: multiple interviews with key witnesses. One person I interviewed nine times and the transcripts of those conversations. Seven or 800 pages seven or 800 pages from one person this or people to over 100 and I you know I would say that maybe half of those are key people. The theme of Woodward's book that aids fear what the president might do if allowed to follow his impulses received an unusual confirmation last week, when the New York Times published this anonymous article written by a person described as a senior official in the trump administration.

I work for the president, but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

I have no idea who it is very important who it is it's very important whether this is somebody who witnessed and participated.

Quite frankly, if there was person in the White House or the administration who wanted to tell me what's in that op-ed piece. I would say okay name me who was there.

What is the specific incident.

As you know from having read my book. The dates and times and participants. I wouldn't have used it to very well too vague and not does not meet the standards of trying to describe specific incident specific incidents are the building blocks of journalism. As you well know, fear trump in the White House is Woodward's 19th book and he says reporting it took him deeper inside a working White House that is ever been before.

This one was in the belly of the beast and what did you conclude about the beast that people better wake up milepost by which to remember the past week. The disastrous fire at the national Museum of Purcell in Rio de Janeiro, housed in a former royal palace.

The museum was a treasure trove of Western Hemisphere history home to some 20 million artifacts among them 11,000-year-old scholar. The woman nicknamed Lithia masks and pottery of ancient indigenous tribes huge collections of insects and other animal life among many many others. Museum officials believe as much as 90% of the Museum's collection has been destroyed as staff members trying to assess the damage ruminations flow underfinanced and understaffed.

The museum building suffered from widespread disrepair and had virtually no fire protection systems across Brazil.

Critics are blaming the museum's destruction on a wider civil culture of corruption budget-cutting and official over time. The true cause of the calamity may yet found replacements for most of the lost exhibits will not. I'm Jane Pauley.
