other people and that was confinement. that was in your experience. and the other confinement is the refugee camp. the refugee camp was 1 mile, less than 1 mile body square with 25,000 people and the hardest condition you could ever imagine. we have a tent in the middle of the desert. ..

in the pain project itself, there were so many times when i lost faith in myself in continuing the project. but, others reminded me, one man can become a symbol for others and i think that is what i remembered throughout the project, it is the project was in my name and if i stopped, i would disappoint so many people because they put all of their hope in it.

any other questions? >> did the project generate any sort of response from the people such as humanitarian response, the political response. did they start donating to charities for iraq? what were some of the responses of the results that came out of the project? >> that is a tough question because i don't think it generates a response on that level. i think-- the response i was hoping for is very personal, is raising awareness and connecting people to each other. one organization state for a long time, the virtual human shield. that continue to be, to be

active for a while. against the war in iraq. but, i think the reward that came out of the project is so many people from so many different countries become aware of what is going on in iraq because the project mirrored what is taking place in iraq and i was very pleased with the outcome. >> i am just returning from iraq myself from an outreach mission project. i am most impressed by, towards the end of the book. i note you know your book but i just want to read this mall

x'er. before the paint all project i have largely recovered from a posttraumatic stress syndromes and sleeping problems caused by men experienced during the war and refugee camps that during that month of tension they came up with a vengeance in to this day i still cannot get a natural light sleep without bolting awake feeling anxiety or fear, my mind running. how do you beazley today? really bad. to be honest, the most look at these days is four hours, but there are days when i would not sleep for three days straight, and i would do anything to just go to sleep. i would go take medication, tea, run, overmedicate, whatever and what it seems like is it starts working the opposite. from getting tired to becoming exactly-- just more and more

energy until i crashed. but, posttraumatic stress, it never unfortunately, it never goes back. it just, we put shoot in the back of our mind, and so far, i have tried so many things to teach my body. that experience is over. you can sleep more than four hours or two hours but i think the body has its own mind, and it does not want to let go. that is what concerns me a great deal about soldiers coming back from iraq, because i think, the aggression is just going to reflect, on the society and we are going to see a lot of

horrible stories and in fact i said that is the time when the war of iraq will reach the shores of the united states endless we do something about it from now, it is going to be a really huge misfortune for so many years to come. >> now if there are no more questions i would like to thank everybody for coming out tonight. could we thank wafaa one more time? [applause] "shoot an iraqi" is for sale at the other end of busboys and poets. please percha said there, bring it back to this room for the signing. i'm going to get a table set up right here in the front to do the signing and we can line up right along the side of the broom and once again, thanks for

coming to busboys and poets and have a great evening. >> thanks a lot guys for being so patient and being a great audience.

racism, sexism, the prison industrial complex and particularly interesting but we are publishing with angela is a new edition of the narrative of the life of frederick douglass and american slave which contains douglas's narrative as well as essays by davis that were part of a course that she todd at the ucla in the 70's. so, it really brings to life that essay and we will also include a new as they ridden by heard this year, so we are hoping that people who have read the narrative before take a look at this but as it is going to be enriched by the new and old work. we are also publishing the awakening, a long awaited memoir by hilbun leaver about her life with jack kerouac, of lenny bruce, allen ginsburg in greenwich village in the '50s. she was involved in the publishing scene in the '50s of

more than just focusing on carol lack, it really presents a bigger picture of literary life in new york in the 50's in greenwich village which continues to always seem to be of interest, so we are excited about that one. our latest book that just came out is called the peak diaries, how learning to love watching ourselves and our neighbors, and what he is talking about is at one time everyone was interested in pop culture because everyone is fascinated in celebrities but he has coined this term in the focus is going from celebrities to the focus on yourself and you actually can be the celebrity and you can do that by blogs and web sites and youtube videos, so it is a commentary on what that change in technology has created for the social and cultural life in the u.s. and it

is very entertaining. he actually inserts himself in lots of scenarios. key blogs all the time. he was abea twittering people's secrets. people were asked that they wanted to get a copy of his book today. we asked them to tell us a secrets and how went on his twitterer account and twisted-- we did those secrets. so, some of the new non-fiction we have got. >> so the book tv viewers know city lights as a bookstore and your offices are on the second floor. how did city lights start and who founded city lights? >> city lights publishing was actually started in 1955 by lawrence burman get a and many people know who he is. he is one of the most renowned poets in the world. he began the publishing company with a collection of his own poems called pictures of the gain world. that was the first book in the

city lights poets series which has gone on to continue publishing. we have about 60 books in print right now in a series. >> so, tell me a little bit about the bookstore and the publishing house. how does that work? is there synergy between the bookstore and the publishing house? >> yeah, i would say at one time most of the people that worked in the publishing company had worked in the bookstore. the person that is now the editorial director worked for over 15 years in the bookstore and is now leading the way publishing excellent books for city lights. we are in the same building. it is quite symbiotic. the books we publish a very much reflects the types of books we carry in the store, the commitment to progressive politics, literature in translation, new voices, and

literature, poetry, poetry and translation. if one were to look at the city lights list or think about the books i was just talking about and what the the store you would get to-- this same sense that this election is being carried it for you and that is a very specific, intentional thing that is done by books dire-- bookstore bair, the assistant store manager and a whole host of people working in the bookstores so i think that the mission is one in the same and continues through the bookstore for the books that we publish. >> how old is mr. fairland get a and is he still involved with the bookstore and the publisher? >> larns is 90 years old and we just celebrated his 90th birthday with him. at this point i would say that any poetry that we are publishing is headed by lawrence, that it has to have his approval but the great thing that he has done is that he

hasn't kept the company to himself. he has delegated work to lots of people like myself, and let us kind of continue his vision and our own way, so at this point, we hope to see him. he comes into the office maybe a couple of times a week to check mail and what not come up but he is busy painting. he is still writing. he is kind of pursuing his own stuff. when i for started at city lights he would come into the office every day so i am glad to have had that privilege to see him and work with him. >> stacy lewis, marketing director of city lights bookstore in san francisco. >> thank you. >> ellen johnson sirleaf, president of liberia is interviewed about her memoir, "the child will be great." this event hosted at the ronald reagan building in washington d.c. is 50 minutes.

[applause]d her racket on her h. 0-2 up to this point. safina now down 2-3. she had seven double faults. looks at her coach for support. he says come on. later in the game kuznetsova would break points. safina continues to look at her coach in the stands. she was broken five times and says to the coach. why am i such a chicken? her coach could only shake his head. you're not supposed to have

communication during a match. she was trying. safina hitting the lob attempt long showing her frustration on the court. now safina down championship points. second serve and she double faults off the net court and wide. not the way kuznetsova wanted to win. her subdued reaction she explained later while safina was in tears later after the match. >> i could not react. i say oh my god, she's nervous. i say i don't believe she can do the same one the second one. she plays with too much pressure. this is what i want to say. i believe that i could win today. i knew that and i made myself concentrate on this moment so much. before i was going to go down on the floor if i win and in my dreams but i could not do it today.

>> this was just the third time in the open era that a women's grand slam final was decided between two russians. kuznetsova as won two of those. it's also kuznetsova fifth career win over a number one ranked player. when we return down one, the magic find themselves in a familiar position in the nba finals. we'll hear from players ahead of game two.

>> world champion dodgers taking on the best team in

that's hardly new to orlando this postseason. dwight howard and company have trailed in the series three times and each time they've responded by winning the next game to even their series. kobe bryant now answering questions on what he expects from orlando in game two. >> you expect them to bounce back pretty strongly tomorrow? >> absolutely. absolutely. you know, we'll have to face many games in this series when they shoot lights out. this is a team that made 23 for 34 from the three-point line against sacramento in one game. they can get blistering hot. we understand and know that and we have to be ready for them. >> howard is always that threat inside, which is -- that's a 60% conversion. he gets the ball inside. he's going to shoot 60%. he's close enough he can finish. he leads the league in dunks. those things are devastating to defense. >> we could have done what we

did a lot harder and a lot better. and so i think we've got to be careful and we're certainly not going to make wholesale changes. i think there are things we can adjust or be prepared to adjust. the main thing is we have to compete at a much higher level. >> in every series it seemed like the team that we played against had more experience than we did, you know, boston, they won the title so in that series they had more experience, cleveland has been to the finals, so they had more experience. it all boils down to who wants it more, you know, who is going to go out there and play with effort and energy and, you know, that's what we have to do. we have to play with a lot more effort than we did in the first game. >> this reminder, once the game goes final tomorrow night on abc flip to espnews for complete post-game coverages. news, highlights and analysis you won't get anywhere else on
