5/8: On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain by Ronald C. White (Author)
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Fields-Unlikely-Lawrence-Chamberlain/dp/0525510087/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1707433634&sr=1-1
Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College.

| 0:22.0 | The show begins tonight in Times Square, looking wonderful. Times Square 50 years ago was challenging. I was a young person and it was very challenging. It was risky, it was dark, it was not well |
| 0:36.4 | lit and the arcades and the hotels were not sparkling. The theater district was there, but it was a rough patch, the 1970s. |
| 0:47.0 | There was a place in 72nd Street. Needle Park, named for all the very bad stories about heroin addiction. |
| 0:57.0 | And Times Square wasn't any better, just more spread out than Needle Park at 72nd Street. But today, glittering and yet an |

| 1:17.0 | All over the city, migrants have been given beds and hotels and something for winter, it's not clear where they're going. |
| 1:26.0 | There's a hotel there and there were a gathering of young migrant males in front of it at some point. And two policemen approached and then the questions |

| 1:48.2 | straightforwardly by the police ever since, at least according to the footage we now have from a body cam that one of the officers |

| 2:05.8 | this in subsequent weeks. It's a very difficult topic, but it was not on the |
