“One of the things that I
think is most interesting in this moment ... is that Woodrow Wilson
never spoke publicly about the flu pandemic. He was much more
concerned about World War I.”

Coming up Sunday on C-SPAN: In his will,
Benjamin Franklin left 1,000 pounds sterling each to the cities of
Boston and Philadelphia. The money was to be loaned out, in small
increments and at low interest rates, to tradesmen who wanted to
start their own businesses. Franklin estimated that even with a small
rate of return, the trust fund would grow over the years and both
cities would end up with large windfalls by the end of the 20th
century. University of Pittsburgh professor Michael Meyer, author of Benjamin
Franklin's Last Bet, discusses Franklin's microlending
scheme and assesses its legacy. Tune in at 8 pm ET Sunday
on C-SPAN.

The Weekly
President Biden recently said he thinks Russian President Vladimir
Putin is a war criminal. It's not the first time he's called a
foreign leader a war criminal. The latest episode of The Weekly
looks back to the mid-1990s and the war in Bosnia. Then-Senator Biden
met with Slobodan Milosevic. Out of that meeting came a story Biden
would repeatedly tell — how, to his face, he called the Serb leader a
"damn war criminal." Listen now on The
Weekly.
