he was in cambridge, just happened to be intended for couple of months. it was amazing all those people came together at that time. he was at mit getting a series of lectures, the centennial at mit. like i mentioned, leary and huxley met the night kerry was elected, and then a thousand days later, the day on huxley died in his house in the hollywood hills on november 22, 1963, which is the same day that jfk was gunned down in dallas. the exact same day. that's what a lot of people never saw huxley's obituary. huxley had been ill for a few months and a few hours before his death, his wife injected him with a moderate dose of lsd to usher him into the next world. and timothy leary had flown out like the week before and given the lsd for that purpose. so i wanted to do another reading, which is a bit longer. i want to leave room, time for questions. this is the story of timothy leary's first psychedelic trip, which is really what started all this. this is from the beginning of chapter two of the book, which is called and titled turn one. and its mexico in th

from the harvard bookstore in cambridge, massachusetts, this is one hour.[applause] >> thank you very much -- thank you very much. what a great turnout. wow! this is far out as we used to say back in the '60s. you know, i was in cambridge about a year and a half ago doing some interviews for the book. and it's great to be back. i kind of feel like i'm returning to the scene of the crime here. right after this i'm going to up to millbrook new york where some of you may know timothy leery where he landed after he got kicked out of harvard. it's really right here in cambridge where this whole long strange trip began in 1960. the fall of 1960. and that's a half century ago. i just realized that a few days ago. we're closer to 2060 than 1960 that's the dividing point but we're still talking about the '60s. my first reading was in marin county last week just across the golden gate bridge where i live. but the first four chapters of the book take place in and around cambridge. and after that the action shifts out to san francisco around '65 when everyone came to s

you can go south and east of cambridge. you can go to the west. we are beginning to see the end of the. it is tapering off westbound. a couple more hours. it will start to wind down. it will likely cause some slick roads. for more on that, of that head outside. see the snow still falling? the rose with a little wet. hopefully, it'll be a all right. >> it is coming down at a pretty good clip. it is a couple of inches on the ground. it is the snow that sticks to everything. it is a little wet. it get a grip on the power lines and trees. it is traveling over here. we noticed the secondary roads and giving us a little bit of a problem. the roads are in pretty good shape. there is a little/on the surface there. they will have trucks out all night to make sure these roads are passable by morning. >> it is training on the budget. it is training on the men and one man. >> it has been a rough winter for the highway is a magician. they budgeted $26 million for snow removal. before this norm, -- this storm, if they had already spent $36 million. crews will b

people like william worthy, richardson who was the activist from cambridge, maryland, who was called the legion of the civil rights movement who waged an unprecedented struggle in cambridge, maryland in 1963 and 64 to help desegregate that city, met with attorney general robert f. kennedy to cite a peace accord in the early 1960s. but also goes to malcolm x november grassroots leadership conference in detroit where malcolm delivers his famous message to the grassroots what he really lays out a secular vision of a domestic national, but also international global, political revolution. >> host: you write that malcolm x was nothing less in the civil rights era's invisible man. >> guest: absolutely. in the terms of the way in which historians view malcolm x, he is not part of that heroic period of the civil rights movement that he usually only pops up around 1963-64, and he really only serves a foil to dr. king. he is more characterized

observations at the top of the hour, but looks like more sleet down in the easton area and back to cambridge to the south and east. that is why we think accumulations could be a bit less. nonetheless a winter storm warning up for the entire state. baltimore, ocean city, all the way west past hagerstown, frederick and beyond. it will be a snowy situation. we think we'll now push to the number one winter of all time for snow here since records have been kept in the baltimore area. unbelievable stuff. we only need another half-inch. looks like we're probably going to get well beyond that, we're talking a foot or more likely. >> it's in spots already. it was coming down fast and furious. >> westminster -- >> ralph in westminster called in, says there's two inches of snow coming down so far. he said it was coming down so hard and furious it was like confection sugar. a quick two inches in westminster and that's what happens with snowstorms my friends. they dump more in one spot versus the other. go back to that. 29 degrees and winds only pushed 12 miles per hour the real wind with the storm is go

that cambridge police department had acted stupidly. and immediately, the media came down on him and sort of siding with african-americans. more quote unquote showing his true colors, meaning he was definitely up partisan piggy deftly was on the side of the black vote that because remember, then senator obama grunts as somebody who is above the fray, somebody who can be an honest arbiter or umpire in terms of race matters, even though he happens to be black. and probably the greatest example of obama as umpire is the famous race speech in march 2008. that was the speech that the president made while he was still a senator when his association with the trinity church is a 20 year association with the trinity church in chicago and its pastor, jeremiah wright, threaten to be real his candidacy, because bloggers had gotten videotape of jeremiah wright basically harshly criticizing u.s. domestic and foreign policy. and they said if this is obama's preacher, then obama must share these same beliefs. so what obama did was give a very, very goo

another example in terms of race was the skeets incident in cambridge where the president said the cambridge police department and acted stupidly and immediately the media came down on him as sort of siding with african-americans or quote on quote even showing his true colors meaning he was definitely partisan and undecided black votes because remember then a senator obama runs as somebody above the fray who can be an honest arbitrer even though he happens to be black and probably the critics and local lawmen as umpire is the famous race speech in march of 2008 and i was the speech the president made while he was still the center and his association with the trendy church and his 20 year association with the trinity church in chicago and its pastor, jeremiah wright threatened to derail the candidacy because bloggers had gotten videotape of jeremiah wright basically criticizing the u.s. domestic and foreign policy and they said if this is obama's preacher, then obama must share the same beliefs. so what obama did is the very good speech on race that was perceived as being extraordinary and he

it is 23 andrews saint indigos, cambridge, easton, annapolis, you are still 30. but as that comes toward you, your temperatures are going down and snow picking up. annapolis in the next 30, 45 minutes you will be experiencing what we have been experiencing here for the last hour, even across southern maryland. it's not that far away now. probably within the next half hour. temperatures have gotten much colder. generally 20 to 25 west of town and 25 to 30 east of town. we have 25. we are gusting to 43 sustained and 22. wind chill at ten. wind chills will fall to the single digits today. another reason why you don't want to be outside. the couple -- the storm, a couple of pieces of energy are feeding in and helping to enhance the coastal storm which is developing. deepest pressure is in ocean city, heavy snow through philly, long island, blizzard warnings are up there as well and some spots between philly and new york could get two feet of wind-driven snow. in some cases worse for them. this is what we are thinking as far as the totals when we are done with the sno

cambridge 32. easton 30 and in the shenandoah valley we have 30-degree readings. steve in cross junction called in with a 29 this morning. our temperature at national is 35. the dew point is 24. we could get some evaporative cooling as the moisture moves in. that will help to moisten the atmosphere and brings the temperature down. when we get the snow flying we'd love to hear from you. go to wusa9.com and fill out a storm report and tell us what is happening at your house. we will talk about accumulations if we can. down south heim thinking a half a foot to a foot. and then across southern charles, calvert, 12 to 16. micking here even in king george. for us 16 to 24 generally with that bulls eye in central shenandoah valley right now. and we may have to tweak this but that is the guess so far. blowing snow with the wind later today and tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow 29. dry on monday and maybe a system bringing us snow showers. hopefully not more than that on late tuesday in wednesday. >> thank you very much. >>> same story. a little volume picking up on the main

off to the east, 17 in annapolis, 23 in cambridge.o again, things will be really blustery around here this afternoon as the storm system off to the north and east really cranks up. there you go. it actually snowed overnight. the rain changed to snow at about 3:00 in the morning. i know because i was up. and there you can see it across the region as i slid off to the east. didn't amount to much. didn't stick on the roadways because teams at that hour were still in the mid 30s. so really, i mean mosgood news forecast for us. off to the north and east, still snowing up in philadelphia and we'll zero in on portions of new york. this is the worst of it. and for us, i want to emphasize this, the storm is bottoming out here and the area of low pressure is deepening very rapidly and for us that means the winds could pick up and we could get storm pressure and our winds will blow from the north and northwest at about 30- 35 miles per hour. gusting this afternoon and then up to 50 as we get into the overnight hours and during the day tomorrow.

cinemax and health care -- this came out in 2007 by cambridge university press. so it's not completely current with what's going on, but basically if you look at systems of national health insurance which exists in all the affluent democracies. we don't have one. with a quasi-system. we have medicare and medicaid. pardon me, half of all health care expenditures. if you look at those programs, basically to put it simply that involve massive massive substitution of everybody. the government has to subsidize everybody and keep the price below what they would pay any market. i what happens is that his sort of elementary. you subsidize something, get more of it. once you get more of it you get a big explosion of demand. eventually when the government has to put a cap. and then you get government ration. when that happens you get lines. who is going to go to the top-of-the-line? i'll tell you who's going to go to the top of the line. people like me. people have connections, people are knowledgeable, people who can game the system. who's going to go to the bottom of the

to the cambridge scientist who developed the technique, the responses imply that p.v.s. patient had some degree of consciousness and awareness trapped within their immobile bodies. >> we really should be trying to scan as many of these patients as we possibly can because, i mean, this sort of study clearly shows that some patients, albeit a minority, are being inappropriately diagnosed. so they're not getting a diagnosis that actually describes the situation that they're in. so even though behaviorally, neurologically, they might appear to be vegetative in the scanner, we can tell that there's more going on. >> reporter: on the face of it, being able to ask if they're feeling pain and then doing something about it might well mean it will be possible to improve their well-being. but can you, should you, ask if they want to die or to carry on living? and should the courts now ask for this technique to be tried before decisions are taken to switch off life support systems? but there's no guarantee this technique could help. even if it were possible to ask if they wanted to

cambridge university press have published all his books, including the most recent, "natural rights and the rights to choose." his writings appear in such publications as the "washington post," "weekly standard," and "national review." here is the rest of the story.

host: cambridge, illinois. eric, on the line for democrats.ed the administration's use of predator drone, but we all know the bush administration used them as well. the previous administration's use of torture was criticized not only for its morality for international standards, but also for the questionable effectiveness of what we received. curveball was one of the reason we used for invading iraq. i think this bait and switch to try to suggest that there is hypocrisy, when the fundamental quality of intelligence from torture is unreliable, that is one of the fundamental reasons we do not use it today. guest: 1, we did not torture anybody. in fact, pakistan does, according to the human rights support, and barack obama is outsourcing hour interrogation to them. so the hypocrisy charge stands. s to the effect this, you are wrong. -- best to the effectiveness, you are wrong. that was in question until the obama administration looked at all the documents and found unequivocably that this program was successful. obama had accused us of torture, s

there, there were about 40 fellows, and if -- and it was based on a -- almost like an oxford or cambridge college, and if i wanted to know something, if i wanted to know something about how the american system worked, i could walk along the quadrangle and find someone who new the angles and held an important position in the american government. so that was hugely useful and fascinating experience for me, and i have always been very grateful to the aei for making it possible. it was one of the most valuable years i ever spent in my life. >> host: mr. johnson wall a columnist for the spectator in london, received the presidential medal of freedom from president bush, and currently writes a column for forbess.com. in modern times, you start with a psalm here. how to shot break the with a rod of iron, how to shall dash them like a potters vessel. be wise, judges of the earth. second psalms, verses 9 and 10. >> guest: that was i thought quite a good quotation to use for the opening of a history of the world, because the history of the world is the history of great shocks and terrifying events,

i was there, there were about 40 fellows, and it was based on a sort of waterloo, almost like a cambridge college. and if i wanted to know something, if i wanted to know something about how the american system works, i could walk along the quadrangle and find the office of somebody who not only knew the answers him but had actually helped to make them work, who had held office or had an important position within the american government. so that was a hugely useful and absolutely fascinating experience to me. and i've always been very grateful to the aei for making it possible. it was one of the most valuable years i've ever spent in my life. >> mr. johnson was a long-term column is also for the spectator out of london in 2006, received the presidential medal of freedom from president bush, and currently writes a column for orbs.com. mr. johnson, in modern times, you start with, and i just want to get the reason why you started here. thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. be wise, not therefore king, be instructed judges of the eart

obama stepped it in big time, and he said that the cambridge police acted stupidly in the arrest of henryedia storm. so since then, it is about staying on message. earlier this month, the president took questions from reporters in a mini presser after showing up unannounced on a snow day in the press room. he took questions for 30 minutes, but not the same thing as a full-fledged announced ahead of time press conference carried on all of the networks. one reporter tells the "times" that the president seems snake bit on the presser thing. and others say it is frustrating not to hold the president's feet to the fire. the press says they have done more interviews with the president than any of his predecessors and that is true. the president is all over the media and done interviews with the network anchors and oprah and print reporters, et cetera, but it is not the same as standing in front of the nation's press corps on national television and making yourself accountable. so here is the question, why is president obama ducking the press? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile and post a comment on my

20 years ago, in 1989, nhtsa commissioned a study done by the transportation research center in cambridgeook at sudden acceleration and could find no cause for it so they concluded that it must be pedal misapplication which is to say that the vehicle operator was erroneously stepping on the gas pedal when they thought they were stepping on the brake. and it became sort of a institutional bias or culture among defect investigators at nhtsa to say sudden acceleration means pedal misapplication and that consumers who claim sudden acceleration were mistaken, that they just erroneously stepped on the gas pedal. >> in some cases, these are consumers who have been driving their whole life who have said to toyota which this was not me misapplying my footing. you hear that again and again from people. let me ask you about the internal sort of expertise then, i guess, on these very complex cars. i heard an analyst say they are the equivalent of four high-end pcs in every one of these cars. really incredible complexity of the electronics. even if toyota says that maybe it grew too quickly to keep up

most of my time is spent in cambridge, massachusetts. i am in iran or occasionally in north korea. my focus is traditionally been how the countries make decisions on nuclear weapons, how they decide to pursue them. in most of the cases how is it did decide to pursue them. a vast majority initiator start down that path stop and reverse course. that is the unsuccess story. many more states have started down that path, stopped, and come back. this has relevance to the current situation because we would want to know under what conditions might iran change course and remain a state that does not have nuclear weapons. so, that is why i talk to iranians. i'm hoping to return. i have been invited to go back in april. you never know. but hopefully i will be back and have a better sense of things. i want to talk briefly about the nuclear program. most conversations about iran's nuclear program begin at the end. the conversation is about sanctions or military action or we should be doing to stop iran. i prefer restarted the beginning and ask ourselves, why is iran behaves the way they do. the
