. >> as david mentioned, olivier francois is a frenchman, i don't think any detroit-born, detroit-racedn executive would have approved an ad like that, am i right? >> i think you're absolutely right. there has been times when that has been on the table, we're from detroit, proud of detroit the motor city, sometimes we want to act too global and forget our roots, that took somebody from the outstieoutside to see that. >> we should credit whiteman kennedy. >> an ad agency from portland. >> also it's worth saying stay tuned this is not a one-off, olivia francois seems to want to make detroit and detroit's story and comeback that we all hope to be part of the chrysler comeback story. and i think there will be more to this idea than just a super bowl ad. i think this is the beginning of a lot of other interesting stuff that is going to set chrysler apart. >> david mentioned dar th th vader ad. >> ranked highly, there was research for years any commercials with dogs and children rank very high in likeability, so there you have it. doesn't tell you alot about the passat, which isn't coming unt

francois trepanier was quite confident that he stood at a good chance of success against the slave rebelshe did not have to wait long and what he saw must have been a very big surprise. around the bend of the of the ld became the slave army divided into companies each under a headman or officer. black men and militia uniforms advance towards a plantation chanting beating drums flying flags armed with muskets as many on horseback is on foot. the slaves quickly dispatched but franÇoise trepanier. it is said that gustav swung one of the axis. axes. he can see his grave out along the river road. franÇoise trepanier killed by slaves. in one example of a vast historical amnesia about this revolt many history books will claim that francois trepanier beat that the slave rebels. i want to zoom back into new orleans and what was happening here where we stand today read about this time. in the first warning came the western edges of the city scouts were the first to hear the news. within hours there is a traffic jam miles long of refugees fleeing from the german coast. the slaves have forced the com

>> i was going to say that again, olivier francois told me he green lighted the ad as soon as saw night in story board, the americans were like not so much, once they saw it on film, they could see that -- i think it's interesting that this french-born guy working for an italian car company all these years, is now in the u.s. and seems to have i think a very good antenna for how to walk the line with the american-ness, american values without saying buy american. >> you can see a thread through it all as you look from the super bowl spot for chrysler, which was we're not hiding the fact we're from detroit, we're american, right into the jeep, what we make, make us, it's very straightforward and right to the -- right between the ice, the way the eys in america you got right, cars and freedom. >> let's talk about one thing dodge got wrong because there is an ad with kittens in it, that you guys are all laughing, you don't like this ad. >> out to lunch, the same agency. but we should give them all the credit -- i wondered what they were thinking. people with crazy cat heads on, like a spy

and then on the left is francois vilar's blend of about 55% marsanne and 45% roussanne. >> during the hospice du rhone event, you can take in a wine tasting and a gourmet meal at one of the town's restaurants. it's a golden opportunity to talk one-on-one with the people who create the wines. >> i thought that the trio that you just had was a spectacular experience. [applause] >> or you can attend a seminar and learn about the rhone varietals grown in paso robles. [indistinct chatter] >> during the festival, hundreds of wines are available at wine tastings. in fact, nearly 600 wines are poured over the 3 days. >> we were told we could get them at a reasonable price. we'll see how the competition holds up at the auction. [indistinct chatter] >> 5 pieces, ridiculously absurd, $500. 500, 600, 700-- >> the highlight of the event is the auction. up for grabs are barrels of rhone wine donated by around 30 wineries. >> 900, now 1,000. 1,000, now 11. 1,100, now 12. >> all you have to do to win is be the highest bidder. >> i'm looking for 13. 20--whoa! [speaking rapidly] last chance to get it a

extraordinary fact in this is that she went to a bank which was invented by the french president francois me to hone to be. a bongo pin and she convinced the president at the time to swap the default of x. on. this summit and it was you know like a communal holt's as we used to say in french before the revolution and this is how everything started to because it was easy money. said ok if eggs involved is going to examine so it is going to be bankrupt whoopie difference who will pay the five billion dollars back to the j.p. morgan so sense that going forward from that moment exxon valdez what was the. what's the next major milestone in this part of the history of the major was the. introduction and public introduction of the concept the. til he concept which was called again was a french name bistro like a french coffee you know and that was introduced to the public in ninety ninety eight in new york along with the matter of it was a huge party in new york to distributed her what they called her black book. it was g.p. morgan interaction introduction to credit derivatives on which she wrot

inaudible] my position were established on the -- [inaudible] gabrielle and be dominique to the east, francois and claudine to the west and, finally, -- [inaudible] isabelle -- [inaudible] hospital that was -- [inaudible] with a surgeon and seven male nurses. in january a second surgeon and male nurses team were sent to -- [inaudible] after the attack on the 13th of march, three parachutes -- [inaudible] for each of them two shelters -- but there was no other hospital. could receive 55 patients, 40 on metal beds in shelters and 15 in the rean haitian room. that was quite enough as long as the -- [inaudible] went every day to evacuate the wounded and the sick. the landing of the planes become impossible. in the first day of march, i had been sent to -- [inaudible] for a fortnight to evacuate the wounded of the south of vietnam when i learned of the terrible attack launched on dien bien phu. several planes were destroyed on the ground before they could take off. miraculously, two flight nurses managed to evacuate injured soldiers. i was very sad to be far from the battlefield. the first attack w

french chose as their representative in the discussions that were about to take place this man, francois george pequot. now, the two men went into the french foreign office and pulled out maps and crayons. they assumed that their countries would defeat the ottoman empire, and they proceeded to redraw the map of the middle east in their own interests or in the interests of great britain and france as they understood those interests to be. very broadly, the french would get control over what today we call syria, and they colored crayons. and the british would gain control of mesopotamia, and they colored that red on the map. now, i should possibly explain in area a and area b, that was where the envisioned independent arab kingdom would be. but in area a, the independent arabs would have french advisers whose advice they must accept -- [laughter] and in area b the same was true for the british. now, by the way, they also -- you'll see there's another color on the map, and that's because they recognized that palestine was different. palestine was different because jerusalem is located there

that would be john francois kerry, that would be newt gingrich. it's the 1960s generation that developed this, was the most political of generations. and as i say, it's been a disaster for the country. luckily, in the 1990s there was no reason to -- we didn't have to be on guard all the time, and we could put up with a amiable huckster like the clintons. but the chronic campaigner campaigns all the time, is campaigning in office and here he is out of office, he's still campaigning. he campaigns all the time, but what he doesn't want is, he doesn't want to be president when anything serious is going on. and, for for that matter, he tos off the serious decision making that goes on in the administration and some administration, he's glad to fob them off to the courts or to regulatory commissions or things like that. and that's the kind of thing bill clinton did. he, he lights up a room and all of that. i don't think george washington ever lit up a room. i don't think abe -- i'm sure that abe lincoln didn't light up a room. but those people made diffi

jack, incidentally, was for many years francois mitterand's close confidant. it's a biography exclusively based, as far as i can tell, on the imagination. [laughter] my book is based on reading my way through about 10,000 letters and diary entries and memoranda which warburg kept in the course of his life. unlike many financiers, i should explain, warburg was a remarkably prolific writer, and that for a biographer is a huge advantage. now, i don't really know quite why you would need to ask the question, why bankers. when you reflect on the events of the last three years, it should be obvious that bankers are historically important. and i would go so far as to say more important than actresses. [laughter] perhaps even more important than princesses. for if anything has shaped our lives in the last three years, it's been a financial crisis which many people are inclined to blame entirely on bankers. now, i'm not one of those people who thinks that bankers are solely responsible for a crisis that, clearly, was caused by a whole coalition of negligent groups; reg
