what washington was making was a rye whiskey. we know his recipe was 60% rye grain, 35% corn, and the rest barley. that was a typical, popular recipe from the time. and rye is different from the whiskey most people drink today, which is made mostly out of corn which yields a sweeter end product. rye is spicier, sharper. it was a popular grain at the time. how they would do this is take all those different grains and mix them in these large barrels called mash times. ubs. they would put them in and add boiling water. behind us is the boiler where the water is heated up. you would have to dip that out, bring it over to one of these bs, and deposit the grain in here, put the boiling water in, put the mash rake in, and stir it. you would continue to do that until this is filled up. by doing that, essentially, what you are trying to do is cook the grain, to turn the starches in the grain into sugars. once that happens, you introduce the yeast, which works on the sugars to produce the alcohol. that takes 3-5 days, and then you are read

how does an outsider who runs against washington actually rally washington to launch his agenda? that's a gigantic challenge. >> woodruff: mark shields? >> judy, in 1940, there were 137 million people in the united states of america, and-- 132 million, and 600,000 more factory jobs than there are today. there were eight million more factory jobs in this country than when jimmy carter was president of the united states. i mean, so donald trump represents a real grievance, a real, a real constituency. but what i could not get over in the speech today, and i don't know what the global impact or meaning is, but i do know that it was unlike any inaugural address i've ever heard. it was a call to arms to those already enlisted in his army. there was no attempt to reach across the divide, there was no attempt to heal wounds, there was no attempt to reassure or allay fears of those who were apprehensive and have not supported him. so, in that sense, it was almost unique, at least in the speeches i've heard, and it was an unbridled check upon those presidents who spoke in william's piece

a modern photograph that can be used in association with downtown washington and washington as a city, the photograph i took from the top of the cfio building, shows the steeple of st. john's with the weather vein facing lafayette square with the white house in the background and the washington monument in the distance. that steeple and weather vein have been there since 1822. once the church was finished, the last thing that went into it was a bell, which was ordered from the revere works in boston, that's paul revere's son, joseph, who was the one responsible for providing that bell to the church. it weighs almost 1,000 pounds. it was installed in the bell tower of november of 1822, and it's been in continuous use ever since. that bell probably is one of maybe 500 left in the entire country, many of whom were not church bells, but nonetheless, that's one of the pride and joys of this church, and it's difficult for anybody to see it on a tour because of the narrowness of the access route to the bell tower itself, but we have pictures of it, and it says on the bell, revere boston, 182
