how did stanley don's mother committed suicide when he was eight years old. frank marshall davis, the poet of referred to earlier, when his mother died he was already a poet of prominence. that is kansas state university, one that he loved. this is frank marshall davis about whom the poem is written. now look at the title of the palm, pop. why didn't remic ask, okay, if it is about grant which is what obama called his grandfather, why call a pop. there is an abdication of paternity. the more deeply i get into this the more i realize that not only was the palm about frank marshall davis, but i would say this was the least 90% confidence, the palm is by frank marshall davis. a pattern has started when barack obama was 19 years old. i'm not going to go into detail, but let me sum this up by saying that we know less, and the minister of elite, a lot the first few years of obama's life than we know about george washington. david remic calls dreams for my father a mixture of verifiable fact, recollection, recreation, invention, and artful shaping. the same could be said

out who is going to say they didn't talk and frank sinatra junior said she says she interviewed me, never happened. well, the publisher was terrified and stanley called me and he said i've got a present for you if he'll talk to me again. i said well? is that i have a picture of you interviewing frank sinatra junior. and he said, the picture shows you. he said you look like an, but there's a tape recorder they are and you have your notebook. and that picture saved me. he's right. i looked at carper marks in the picture, but that was the proof. host or just in seattle, you've been very patient. url with kitty kelley. >> caller: hi, katie, how are you doing? >> guest: hide. >> caller: i was wondering about a couple of your books. >> host: just then, i am going to put you on hold. as you were told come you got to turn the volume down on your tv, otherwise there is a little bit of a delay. so just hang on for a few more minutes. we are going to try this call from ron in everett, washington. >> host: >> caller: good morning, good afternoon. i was one in which her educational background is, where you went to school. did you have any historical method

the crisis conversions into bank holding companies of goldman and morgan stanley come to mind. yet the new dodd-frank rules seem aimed at preventing a future fed intervention in a bear or aig-like instance. the thrust of dodd-frank is to force such challenged nonbanks into the new fdic-led resolution process. on this front i am meaningfully less optimistic than the fdic about limiting systemic disruptions if creditors face uncertain losses. in its recent assessment of how the dodd-frank resolution mechanism might have worked in the case of lehman, the fdic estimated that creditors could have been quickly compensated and the healthy portion of lehman sustained only with small losses. however, this rosy scenario depends on several doubtful assumptions including a long period for assessing the condition of a fragile sifi, confidence about asset valuations during the a crisis and lack of international jurisdictional bankruptcy complications. ultimately, policymakers can't have it both ways. enhancing market discipline by letting creditors take a hit in a crisis will raise the probability of a contagious
