she was my muse. she was my confidant. she was my in-house editor. over dinner, we would discuss the book and she would ask me a question that would send me scurrying back to the books. i used to read the books aloud to her. she was a perfect proxy for my ideal reader. she would suddenly interrupt and say that she did not understand something or that one line was not clear. she would say to my distain that -- dismay that the book was dragging a little bit. she was absolutely -- i was very -- she was absolutely invaluable. i was very grateful for this book because i was working on it during the final year of her life. after i lost her, the book had -- the book gave structure. i was lucky. every morning, i would open the door and i was in the 18th century, which was a nice escape. remember, george washington is a great story. he is someone coping with adversity with fortitude, will power, patience, forgiveness, acceptance, all of these qualities. he was a good role model for me to have. it was tough. >> how long was she sick? >> she had ovarian cancer.

"the price is right" was on, that was what i was watching. two or three of the girls went out on the back patio and come running in the house, and said, "mamma, i think sheila's house is on fire." i run to the front and out the door, and that's when i seen todd at his front door, and he started screaming, "my babies. oh, my babies, my babies are burning." >> narrator: their neighbor, 23- year-old cameron todd willingham, was in the house with his three children when the fire started. >> a call came across the scanner. there was a house fire with possibly people trapped in it. >> i remember my mom screaming, "go back in, go, go try to get the babies." >> and i grabbed him, and i said, "is there anybody in the house?" he said, "yes, my twins are in that room right there." well, i went in the front door, and i went to the left, and that's as far as i could get. it was completely engulfed in fire. >> i pulled up on the scene, got out, immediately started stretching the fire line. i made entry into the house through the front windows, knocking the

he was, it was one of the officers and he was, it was he was off rotation. >> he was off rotation, he was saying based on his knowledge of the status of the vessel in terms of the cycle was in, that these would be the drafts and -- >> i'm not sure. >> but he doesn't know for sure? >> i would say that's, i would, to the best of my knowledge it was not definitive information. >> so it is not definitive mean no value? >> no, that is not it at all. i believe there was good value. and for the broad strokes we were working with at that time, seemed what we needed. >>o that information, what did you do with that information? >> that information, just goes, there's nothing specific to do with it, to use to compare to observations. that is the main thing you could do at that particular time. later on you could use that to further develop the situation. but at that particular time it was to use to for visual references to the rig. >> what information was coming in from the scene to the command center that relating to what you were doing? >> very, very little and sporadic information. yeah, we d

>> i was surprised. i was shocked. i was just terrified. i knew something bad was going to happen. i just didn't know what it was going to be but i knew it could only be bad for me. >> larry: why do they still, do you think -- you said you forgive him and want it to go away. why doesn't it just go away? >> i guess it doesn't go away because the court case is unresolved. and it also doesn't go away because of his celebrity. and that seems to be a driving force, you know, that's interesting to people or useful to people. his celebrity. >> larry: larry, i could put it directly. why does samantha need a lawyer? >> well, at the time, she needed a lawyer because the prosecution was interested in getting a conviction, defense obviously was interested in protecting polanski and given the intensity of the public interest at the time, her rights were not being adequately protected. for example, they wanted to take a mental examination because polanski took the position initially she fantasized. there was no mental examination. >> larry: you have been her lawyer all this time? >> going on 34

well, i'll tell you what that was about. it was about: i was tired. i was 40 years old. i had a decade of hard work that took me very often away from my family, who mean a great deal to me. and i thought, "if you're not wise"-- it's important sometimes to stop at the height of things and to restock. go back to zero. take yourself back to zero. sometimes you have to do that yourself and constantly-- to be able to rejuvenate and keep going, you have to sometimes start all over again. and i felt it was the time for that. i'd been very rewarded in the business, done a lot of films, had just directed. my first film had had a tremendous reaction. i said, "you know, this is probably a good time to stop and step away for a while and reevaluate my life." and i thought, "well, i'd been fortunate; i wanted to put something back," 'cause i believe in that. i believe that's healthy to put something back; if you had the good fortune to receive, you put it back. i was trying to decide how to do that, what i could do that would be of benefit. and i thought: well, the land that i had in

it was like america the beautiful. it was so rural. it was such a different world for me. the first sighting of my brother. he didn't know i was coming was at the packing house. i remember seeing him, millions of apples coming down the flumes. my brother was looking at every single piece of fruit to be sure it was shipped correctly. he was to tender. i was seeing him from a long shot. i thought oh my god, all he needs is a sweater, he'd look just like are mr. rogers. i began to realize i didn't get it. that was the beginning. then i began bombing him with questions about apples and fruit. there was one moment that did change things in my perception, which is we were walking one day, i worked the fields and packing house routine, 5:00 a.m. routine. we were walking at dawn with the pickers who were all working, my brother was walking ahead of me. i saw all the shades of green, i was able to get my own ego out of the way. i thought he is amazing. this brother of mine is amazing. he has built up something astonishing here. it was almost like he was no longer invisible to me. i

actually tortured before he was shot so so why was he tortured was there any information they wanted to get from this man. yes i think what they wanted to get from him are certainly what the british wanted to get from him as i say is whether it was his involvement with the germans they believed that they believed russia putin was involved in some way with the germans either on their pay or as some sort of alliance in order to persuade the czarina to get the czar to pull out of the war that's what that was the belief in russia at the time. among british intelligence officers in russia at the time that's that stood up by documents in. the papers of a couple of those officers one of them john scale and the other stephen ali and those those documents show very clearly that the british were involved in this this myth the evidence you've got this killing i'll state the rasputin savage act while. says that the bullet that actually killed the man was fired from the rare gun from a british gun and they done that was standard issue of the british intelligence service does that does that now ca

they knew something was changing there was more openness there was a glimpse of freedom people could now talk freely without fear. intent as landsburg a says a composer and professor of the vilnius conservatory he always pictured himself at the head of an orchestra not the head of a nation he became the rallying point for a host of disconnected new political forces in lithuania which united in an association. with you we wanted perestroika to go through to the end yes we wanted to see changes in the economy more glasnost and more freedom of expression but we also wanted to be free in decision making order. glasnost the russian word for openness proclaimed by looked ever more like a genie let out of the bottle for the first time infighting among the soviet elite became a matter of debate in the media boris yeltsin was unhappy about the slow halfhearted progress of reforms he publicly demanded that the party's leaders initiate more vigorous and thorough transformations sensing a potential rival booted yeltsin from the politburo and stripped him of his seat at the top of the moscow part

the world was collapsing. the stk market was heading to 0 there was no capital there was nothing. nobody knew where the botm was. nobody wanted to come in except us. and this is exactly why this was the right thing for government to do. because what is government exist for but for stepping when mkets fail. when there is afundamental good reason. >> rose: and supplier of last resort. >> and so we put a total of $50 billion intom but more importantly 30 billion in as part of the final restructuring and for which we got 60%, we the taxyers got 60% ofhe company. and e company going public hopefully on november 17th. and i think will be great success. >> rose: what does that mean for the amount of money that taxpayers put in. >> i think of the 50 billion that the taxpayers put into gm we will recover, well, right now there are bonds of old gm, i won't bother you with all the math that are trading that ily a recover of the government north of 40 billion. we will get most of that 50 billion back out of gm. >> re: chrysle as you said chrysler had been bought by private equity. >> so remem

the soviet treasury was empty there was a dislocated economy and there was a real threat of famine more importantly its governance had broken down with unpredictable consequences from a bloody civil war to nuclear weapons landing in the hands of uncontrollable forces but we've managed to prevent all that there are. december the eighth one thousand nine hundred one so the last chapter in the history of the soviet union with the appearance of the bella veggie cream and they confirmed the statehood of the former soviet republics and the emergence of a new political entity the commonwealth of independent states the agreements were signed by two top ranking officials representing each of the republics yeltsin misrepresented russia. and the commune that document there is a masterpiece of twenty first century diplomacy. empire crammed with nuclear weapons and an enormous backlog of deep seated problems that had piled up over more than seventy years broke up almost peacefully. december the eighth one thousand nine hundred one was also the soviet sufficient last day but also not the perestroika

>> yeah, it was, it was, but it was fun, it was good, hard work and because of tony and hillary, i felt like i was able to step up to the plate. >> larry: did you talk to betty ann about what her brother was like? >> yeah, absolutely. we spent a whole weekend, the three of us with betty ann and her relatives and told stories about kenny and betty ann when they were kids. >> lots of great stories. >> it was a lot of fun, actually, yeah. >> larry: you know, when you see this film as it evolves, authorities had every right to think he did it. don't you think? early on? >> you know, i took a certain dramatic license here, kenny was no boy scout, there's no doubt about that. and, you know, the thing that's amazing about kenny and about sam's performance. there was kind of like this duality. in one sense, everyone adored kenny and he was the life of the party and was the most kind, generous person, but he could turn in an instant and had a very violent temper. and he attracted trouble, he definitely did. but i in the movie, the authorities, the facts are that the authorities did not have the

he was also a pacifist, was he not? do you have any insight into his humor or any further insight into his love life? >> well, what would you like to know about his love life? what do you mean? >> any other women besides the one we discussed? >> first there was a wife, nileva and he started having an affair with his second wife while he was still married, then after he was married to elsa, the second wife, he did have a series of affairs. >> did she know that? >> she was very much aware of these affairs. >> who is the woman that worked for him for years and years and years and took care of him after elsa died? >> helen dukus. >> that was a relationship, wasn't it? >> there was no relationship. einstein referred to her as his superist. >> that doesn't sound like a very nice analogy. >> he referred as the family of women he was with as the chicken coop. >> that was a put down? >> it was, shall we say, southern german sense of humor, which is a rather crude and derives a lot of its impact from the barnyard. >> really? >> o

>> what we learned was he was having an affair. >> was itmoney? >> nobody really knows what happenedexcept for him and garrett. >> or was the truth hidden here on this tropical paradise. >> it was an sassination, a hit. no question. >> "blind justice." >>> good evening. welcome to "dateline." i'm ann curry. r criminal investigators often the hardest thing of all to find, the motive. in tonight's story, the crime took place in florida. b detectives didn't discover an apparent motive until they dug around a tropical island thousands of miles away and found something long buried that had nothing to do wi treasure. here is keith morrison. >> reporter: it was august hot in coral gables. the air was shirt-sticking thick as night fell. the small, damp breeze pushed weakly at limp palm fronds. in the artificial kufl john sutton's house, an intimate party was winding down early. it was susan sutton's birthday, attending his son, girlfriend and john's law partner. daughter melissa, just off to college in north florida couldn't be there. so she phoned her mo

this was his chakra. this was march 4th, 1933. he made the statement and he made it, i didn't understand a long time. the point i was making, people were terrified. because it seemed like the economy had no bottom and the banks were going down and there was no federal deposit dollars. so imagine a time when we actually had a president who told us we should be courageous rather than trafficked in fear. to his own advantage. there's been a long war on the new deal. it was when roosevelt got started. almost immediately, the more than great realized the lengths he was willing to go. at the beginning, roosevelt didn't understand how far he was going to go. the dupont family and the ones that set up the american liberty league. that was successful because they have unlimited amounts of money. there were so popular, they were not able to stop it. they began to finance right-wing think tanks. they have been successful to the university of chicago economics department and notable fraud such as milton freed man. the idea of neoliberalism is

he was limping around. he had become crippled from his war wounds, so he is not somebody you would have expected to turn traitor, and washington was probably more shocked by the exposure of the treasury than anything that happened during the revolutionary war. good >> what is the story? >> he felt other people had been promoted in preference to ahern -- him. had been accused of corruption and was found guilty on a couple of minor things. the two of them began to collaborate. hour maneuver was to become the head of west point. he sells the secrets to the british, and as far as i know, the british made good on their end of the deal. >> what happened at the end? where did they end up? >> he end of fighting against lafayette' and other generals. >> the revolutionary war started when and ended when? >> the war starts in april, 1775, at lexington and concord. on november 25, 1783, evacuation day used to be celebrated by george washington and gov. george clinton. as they are riding south in the city, the british a

he was at st. ignatius. he was good. he was at st. ignatius, and i was at lowell. and we had mark leland, and me -- i was with the debate team from lowell, or one of the teams, and it was jerry brown and pete finnegan. and they were the -- they were the st. ignatius debate team. they were one of -- one of the groups there. and i think we -- yes, we used to debate. >> what did the debate experience do for you? >> oh, a lot. we had a great, great, great debate coach named george lorbeer, who had been the debate coach for my father and who went to high school in san francisco with jerry's father, pat brown. and george lorbeer was very experienced. we'd take topics of the day, and you had to -- had a little bit of time. you had to make up some arguments, and there were judges who decided who produced the better arguments. >> what kind of -- do you remember what kind of arguments you had in those days? >> sure. i'm sure we will, because we had topics for years. one of the topics was should, i think, whether -- oh, gee, whether there should be universal conscription, whe

that was well attended. it was a lot of fun. it is good to see the good work that both of these officers' associations are doing and how they are supporting the community and giving money and time back. commissioner chan: both were awarding scholarships to high- school students, which is wonderful. it was good to see the chief there. i also want to thank you for inviting us to your table. >> i just wanted to say that was a great weekend. it was very fall. -- full. vice president mazzucco: on thursday, i attended with the chief of presentation at city hall about crime statistics. i think the chief for his hard work and the mayor for having the foresight to bring in a chief that could try new things. the report is an excellent report. it was an excellent presentation. i attended on thursday the medal of valor awards committee at the hall of justice, where we reviewed the great efforts of many of our police officers and there was a voting process that took place. that was excellent. i was very proud to be there. more on that later

he was taken ok. and i'm sure i'll get it on a lot of back. despite special agent hudson's interest in what the family knew about the anti-malaria drug john was taking lariam was only mentioned once in the report provided to the family in a statement to investigators john's first lieutenant indicated everyone in the platoon was taking an anti malaria pill once a week which he thought was lariam fact you you mentioned they're required to take it they are they're ordered to take it in the beginning you would have times where friends on every monday soldiers with that formation would be required to take it so literally the soldiers would line up at formation the platoon sergeant would hand out the lariam pills and everybody information was after petey would take the pill use a canteen and they would document everyone took the pill so it was required it wasn't something you had an option not to do. as a result there is no recourse and they would describe sometimes when they would take these pills like on

symphony happening now i heard was there was an injury. on the release i said nobody knows anything more we can't say anything more than we found out there was a conscious. being what it was that. did you know said he did it and then i got a call from c. i.d.'s he did ask some people some questions and five said anything or written a letter then they asked me a bunch questions about him and if we didn't find that was pretty much. members of john's unit were told they committed suicide after receiving a dear john letter from elizabeth it was alleged that the letter had been found with his body on me personally and hand over. one thing was i would have never been there for him or anything would have been his and i'm not sure rod i don't think there were rumors continued to reach the family from soldiers returning from afghanistan in the weeks following john's funeral talk of a dear john letter gave way to speculation that he may have been killed for speaking out about her when you said bag. john had told his father months before that heroin

what was ueasonable was not -- was creating infection, violating these things that we think now were corrected but at the time there are real issues about whether this was -- there was no illegality in the general sense. >> i would guess people in the 1940's would be appalled if they heard you're talking about treatment for perhaps soldiers. they go down to guatemala and they inject people unknowingly with syphilis. explain how they did this. >> let me explain why it went to guatemala first of all. they did so because prostitution was legal in guatemala and was legal to bring a prostitute in for sexual services into the prisons. so cutler was partner with the man who was the director of sexually transmitted diseases or was then called venereal diseases and the public health department in guatemala and also been trained in the u.s. by the public health service. so they ana few other doctors nt down in the initial studies were using the prostitutes and in giving the treatment of people developed the disease. when they could not create enough infection by law on the prostitutes in, that

it was on that kind of a level. it was something that was very important to him. that he talked about. but to me, it was boring and i was uninterested in it. so i didn't -- >> larry: why did you stay with him, then? >> i didn't pay much attention to him when he talked about porn. >> larry: did he bring home films? >> i wouldn't watch them. >> larry: did he watch them? >> yes. >> larry: and he would want to talk to you about them and you were -- it was kind of kinky? >> it was not unusual for a man his age to concentrate on that. especially if he had not been exposed to it when he was very young. so i really thought nothing of it. >> larry: did he fantasize? >> yes. >> larry: did you enable him there? did you participate in the fantasies? >> yes. >> larry: because you cared for him? >> yes, because we had a sexual relationship. that's part of it. >> larry: and that part you liked? >> yes, it's just the porn that was something i was indifferent to. i just didn't care. i didn't disapprove of it, i just didn't care. >> larry: did you think it weird? >> no, i didn't. >

it was unfaia barrel. he was thrown into jail. casey walked back into the court and says, what happened to my case? the judge says, you pleaded guilty. casey walks out. people ask me, when do you think is the worst case of ordinary justice then clearly when people spend decades in prison, those kilmeade. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought -- those kilmeadl me. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought you were guilty, but there was this guy, and no one stood up. there was a line of public defenders in the first row who could have said, where is jon casey? nobody stood up, and that is one of the problems of ordinary injustice. they become so worried about their own interests that they stop thinking about the people they are supposed to be protecting. >> we should have invited that judge to come to see what he would say. last year, our reporter went into a courtroom -- nez reporter went into a courtroom, and he sought -- a reporter went into the courtroom, and he saw the judge. he saw hun

and it was sad and frightening and it was very -- it was the hardest was knowing the pain i was givinglove me so much. and they had those same fears, you know? >> i can't imagine, you know it's happening and there's nothing can you do about it. >> nothing. >> and you went to the best places. >> yes. >> and you kept hearing the same thing. >> yes. >> we don't know. >> right. >> at some point you must have just wanted to scream. i mean, you have certain expectations i guess as a patient. >> it was frustrating. at the same time, there was no question in my mind that those doctors were doing everything they could do. you know, i was very grateful to them for keeping trying and it certainly wasn't that they weren't trying with every ounce of energy and ability that they had. >> right. the, you know, when you finally ended up at the nih and they did this biopsy again, which ended up being it. that ended up being the moment. >> yes. yes. >> but they'd done a biopsy before. >> yes. >> it's almost as if they said, we did the biopsy, we're not going to go down that path, they needed to do it aga

she was 17 years old in the picture and when she was homeless in new york city. so i realized when she died, and i lost her, i saw how i was re-creating her life and becoming part of a cycle and i decided to break that cycle and i went to school. i found some great teachers in new york city at a place called humanities preparatory academy, my teacher perry weiner who i write about in there is a fantastic teacher and i went to school while i was homeless and hid my homelessness and day by day i worked towards getting the best grades i could possibly get and when it came time to apply to college, my teacher encouraged me, well, i was actually walking through harvard yard, we went on a field trip. i'd never been anywhere, anywhere, i am homeless, i had purple hair, i was a mess. they take me somewhere and thought i moved up in life because i had the window seat on amtrak. i had no perspective. when they took us away for that field trip to boston my teacher perry said let's go to harvard yard and take a group picture in front of the statue for the yearbook. on my bac

it was so dim.ssue, the shift foreman there, louis urzua, stepping up and saying, guys -- he said in some comments we have from him, that he decided his only leadership quality would be to tell the truth to these men, and at one stage he said i'm going to tell you straight, guys. we may make it, but more likely we're going to die. and it seems that the men really appreciated that kind of honesty, though it shocked them. some of the men fell to the floor and literally didn't get up for a couple of days until their colleagues rallied around them. he told it to them straight, we may make it out, we may not. for the first 17 days we were aware, they may find us and if they find us, they find us. if not, not. >> amazing. amazing. karl, appreciate all your reporting these long weeks and months. >>> when we come back, the three-way race, the american whose team made it there first and one chilling moment. >> that was what we didn't want to hear was something like that, because we still hadn't punched throu

triangle and then it was overturned and then it was seized by eminent domain and i'm glad it was seized and there was some funding approved. i guess what we're going to have to figure out is is it appropriate that the park land that is being provided is not necessarily on the triangle but if the library is on the triangle and you end up netting out that park land in between the street and where the library was, i would say that probably works for me, if it makes for a better playground and everything flows. but that's something we'd have to get an opinion on, probably from maybe the city attorney or whatever, get some kind of a decision as to whether that's appropriate. but i think from what i've seen so far and there's a long ways to go on this and there will be comments and responses, but i'm really excited that this is moving forward and we're going to end up with either some sort of new or rebuilt library that's going to be a lot better than what we had and i'm kind of leaning toward the idea, as was expressed in the 1950's, in the letter i looked at, we might be better off with the

it was a story i was surrounded by in washington, d.c. where everyone around me, the parents were from south carolina, north carolina, georgia. my mother was from rome, georgia migrated to washington, d.c. my father migrated from southern virginia to washington, d.c. different decades, would never have met had there been no great migration, had they not left the south and landed in the same city. so in some ways i exist because of the great migration and i think i've been in some ways writing it all my life. >> rose: david grossman and isabel wilkerson coming up. maybe you want school kids to have more exposure to the arts. maybe you want to provide meals for the needy. or maybe you want to help when the unexpected happens. whatever you want to do, members project from american express can help you take the first step. vote, volunteer, or donate for the causes you believe in at membersproject.com. take charge of making a difference. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> ros
