i am not in touch with her as ken is. i think ken talked to her more recently than i have. >> i do try to respect monica's privacy. i get inquiries from media all over the world actually trying to be put in touch with her, and i, you know, she has clearly moved on. i do, with respect to this topic, can she discuss it with dispassion or perspective or still an all-consuming -- >> well, we talked up until the time the book was ready to come out, and, you know, she was very forthcoming. i do want to say and anyone whose read the book i was surprised myself how much sympathy i had for monica lewin sky. anybody who doesn't realize this was the most horrible experience in her life and her family's life doesn't understand the story. i don't want to go into the details, but i found her to be extremely smart. she certainly commanded as plato noticed in the effort to get her to testify in the impeachment trial, boy, she had the house managers running in circles. she's very smart. you know, was very burned by many people, and, you kn

i mean, they just stripped her, and they set out to crush her economically, as they did so many other people. so these were very nice, genteel, soft police states. and, ken, i would just say that it was an accident, i think, that david halberstam came to work for the tennessean at the moment a very bright, a very-- a very courageous group of young african-american students had enrolled themselves in four local institutions of higher education: fisk, meharry, tennessee state, and american baptist college. and those young students really began there and then went on to the freedom rides in montgomery and then finally-- and not finally at all, because they went on to do great things in the country professionally-- but then to selma and to edmund pettus bridge for that crucial showdown there. david found them, and they found him, and the dynamic on this paper then gave voice and coverage to the movement. it was an electric moment when david halberstam began to report on that sit-in movement that had its genesis in that city. (halberstam) i would like to say very simply that it was not so much me, that there were any number of four or five reporters on that p

my name is ken, i am here to you to present the status and shutdown schedule of the project. first, let me describe the system. what is it? it regulates cable car speeds and information from this view. it is also responsible for reporting the information to the human machine interface. there are two key alarms. the actual cable itself is made up of steel threads. if one of them breaks or becomes loose, the device will trigger the alarm. the alarm location is sent to the control location. the second key alarm automatically disengage is the grip from the table. 60% of the time, it is driven by the cable or gravity. since the cable car is going from powell to mason, the conductor has to release the cable from the power line that grabs onto the mason line. they are all separate cables. so, in the event that it is not released, this mechanism will automatically block the cable from the grip. if this mechanism is triggered, the cable will stop and the alarm is sent to the control council. the next question is -- why is this project important? as mentioned earlier, this system is 27
