the she was asked over and over, what did you see out there? what was it like? sally who are undergraduate degree in physics had a double major as an undergraduate. she also majored in english, which i truly hate her for her. she was a shakespearean. can you imagine? says sally puts science and eloquence together and treated you to the dazzling reality that she sought out there into a beam of encouragement for the rest of us on earth. what did she see out there? am going to repeat the words he saw the screen. she was save the stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter. i think it is exactly the message you want to hear from the first american woman in space. and that is, a 70 can-do person who made us all believe that this is a wonderful way to live our lives. thank you very much. [applause] >> we do have some time left for

questions. if you want to question, please use the microphone here on the side. >> be brave. but don't ask about weeping. >> i apologize from us changing the subject, but i'm curious about the soviet women, to. we really sort of lost track. has no one written anything? >> the question is about the two soviet female cosmonauts. we don't know a huge amount about them. valentina, in particular, her flight was dismissed by americans who really knew nothing about it. they sort of pooh-poohed it and said she didn't do a very good

job. but if i'm not mistaken has been proven to be false. she did a fine job. but this is not the soviet union suddenly making a stand on behalf of women because no one in flew again from us 20 years. we don't know a whole lot about her. we know morbus that lana was an accomplished liar. a wonderful story of the pokémon to be the bare bare outline of it for now. sally after her flight is on a publicity tour that they'll have to do it one of the places they go was budapest for an international aeronautic astronautics federation meeting. remember the korean airlines jet that was shut down by the russians in 1983 red after that. so the state department said to sally and the pilot and both of their spouses, no fraternizing with the enemy. our cold war enemy was about on the evening very badly and be a

terrible relationship is we said we don't want any front-page pictures of you while drinking vodkas in toasting each other and having a wonderful time. stay away from the cosmonauts. they thought terrific, we will do that. they get their and they are behaving and all of a sudden sally at one reception was a tap on her shoulder as she turns around and there is that lana. so here is sally ride, who was one month earlier to become the first woman in space to make meeting that two other wicked edit a site is dying to talk to her. i won't give it all away. i'll tell you there's a secret meeting and it is quite extraordinary for a lifetime on for the two of. once again come to sally pushed the envelope a little bit and figured i can read the rules as long as no one gets hurt. in fact, no one knew the story fully until it folded in the book.

the state department only now is finding out about it. [laughter] >> other question? okay that's great. thank you for coming here is. [inaudible conversations]

speenine beacon press out of massachusetts is one of the posters here at book expo america come in the publishers tradeshow. looking at some of the books that beacon press is coming out in the fall of 2014 with helene atwan, who is the publisher. first of all, tell us about decompress. >> well, beacon press is celebrating its 160th anniversary. a very old press prodded by ralph understands kaizen who was like amherst and a unitarian minister. so we've been part of the unitarian movement and now the unitarian universalist movement or a nonprofit mission driven press who publish in the interest. oliver both strive to add to the conversation about social justice in america, in a very broad sense. we have been a tad lame this year, which is igniting hearts and minds and that is what we like and we are doing with our publishing program.

>> some very well-known people are publishing this fall with beacon. tell us about your books. >> we are very proud to have with those cornell west is first book, race matters, was published by beacon 20 years ago and has become a famous leader in the field of black prophetic fire and is writing this book about this very important part of our culture. and he is looking at many of the great figures in the black prophetic tradition in america. one of them is martin luther king junior of course. set was also edited a book for us because we are the exclusive trade publishers of all of king's work and have been for the last five years. so all of king's work for the trade, for general readers, general bookstores is published by beacon press, which i'm proud

of. this new edition, which was curated entirely by cornell west is looking at keen to say over the years, we have seen to classified martin at the king junior. we started looking at ms is very sweet man. but he was a radical appeared he had radical ideas anyone is change things in a dramatic way in america. and he did a very profound ways. so this book restores the radical king and then we are working with cornell on a new book called justice matters, which will be out in 2015, which looks not only at racial inequality in america, but really it just to see she's very broadly, including lgbt justice, including economic justice, including immigrant rights, all issues which are sold for in america today. we are happy to have cornell back and that's important to us. we also are publishing books by

cheryl cash in. her book just came out. she's a very well-known black legal scholar and she is latina opportunity and injustice in america through the lens of plays and not of course means class. and implies class where people live and what opportunities the place of residence gives them or doesn't allow them. so that is one look at it. her colleague at the black legal scholar is looking at the meritocracy and the inequities we have an american society and judging merit. it's a test stocker free -- test stocker c. so bonnie is questioning, what is that we use to measure, who has merit, who gets to go to the elite colleges?

who they saw the opportunity in america. so the two women looking at different aspects of justice in america are powerful, powerful books are very proud of. >> a very quick look at some of the books coming up a beacon press in the fall of 2014. this is a tv on cease and two. >> we believe that all men are created equal. yet many are denied equal treatment. we believe that all men have unalienable right, yet many american do not enjoy those rights. we believe that all men are entitled to the blessing of liberty, yet millions are being deprived of those lessons. not because of their failures, but because of the color of

their skin. the reasons are deeply embedded in history and tradition in the nature of man. we can understand without rancor or hatred how this all happened. but it cannot continue. our constitution, the foundation of our republic, the principles of our freedom forbid it. morality forbids it. and the law i will sign tonight forbids it.

>> booktv sat down with hillary clinton in little rock to discuss her newest book, hard choices. >> i learned before certain as secretary of state to expect the unexpected. nobody expected the so-called arab spring until it was upon us. and we have to learn to be agile and ready for the unexpected. while we try to build the world that we want, especially for children and now for my future grandchild, but we have got to be aware of the fact that all these other countries, all these things that people are making hard choices every single day. we have to be ready for that because i am absolutely convinced that we have taken tenure to lead the world into the kind of future we want. we can't sit on the sidelines. we can't retreat. we are going to have set backs. we are going to have

disappointments. but over time, our story has become the dominant story. it represents the hopes and aspirations of people everywhere. that is what i want americans to understand. the main reason i wrote this book, i know there is a big debate going on about our role in the world and we have some real unfortunate consequences to deal with from prior decisions, but we can't abdicate our responsibility. how we define it, how would execute it will be political debate. the world needs us. america matters to the world and as the world matters to america for prosperity and security in our democracy. >> hillary clinton spoke with us about her decision-making process, perceptions of the united dates around the globe and decisions she had to make a secretary of state. the full interview airs on tv
