he had a lot of integrity as the third reich officials went. this was the guy that he went to if you wanted to get an american out he would go to rusafa and he would oblige he was a very interesting guy. he is the one who led, who agitated for the christmas amnesty of 1933 that led a lot of prisoners out and he later claimed that was one of the finest moments in his career when he got to choose to go so it's kind of an interesting character who martha it seemed clear at this point have a physical relationship with that and in the collection of the library of congress when martha and the chief of the gestapo are sitting at table and in a lovely little outdoor country restaurant having the grandest ty i founded evil this magical character with the daughter of the ambassador, the american ambassador. and also just as hall was the perfect embodiment of secretary of state your to imagine what kind of villain would run something like the gestapo he would imagine route off to a point. thin, dark, lean with a horribly scarred face, the lower part of hi

he held true to that mandate much to the absolute annoyance of the third reich. he really ticked off the germans just by refusing to give on those fundamental principles and ultimately, i don't want to throw out anything spoilers in terms of the book, so i do think there's a tendency by historians to overlook dodd as a failed ambassador. i don't think that's at all correct. i think if i had to give him a letter grade given the circumstances, i would give him the curve of the era. i would give him a b-plus, so yes? one more total? okay. you're it. this better be good. no pressure. >> boy. [laughter] i know if this is a great question, but i loved your book devil in the white city, and i understand there's a film coming out. two questions. what's your level of involvement in the film, and if you're concerned about often when they make movies from books, they hollywood-ize them. >> good questions. the option was bought by leonardo dei cap pree yo. there's no screen play yet, so it will take awhile. my involvement is going to be minimal because i espouse the tom wolf

former labor secretary robert reich says if americans are losing faith in the future, the country is in deep trouble. >> the potential danger is that we will lose the american spirit of optimism. it is so central to our national character. if we lose that, we lose more than economic growth. we lose something that is essential to what america is fundamentally about. >> reporter: reich and most mainstream economists believe what is needed is exactly what washington will not do. stimulate the economy with a public jobs program. the president will announce his plan next week but reich says a misguided emphasis on the national debt is preventing recovery. quote, "the problem is jobs, not debt." >> not holding out a lot of hope. okay, jim avila, thanks very much. >>> overseas now to libya, where moammar gadhafi under fire is lashing out at nato and the rebel forces who say they have him surrounded. speaking out from hiding, he promised a long, long war that would burn libya to the ground. but as abc's jeffrey kofman reports from tripoli tonight, the new leaders of libya are not intimidated

i'll start with you, robert reich... what can infrastructure spending due to close that gap? >> gwen, infrastructure spending on roads and transportation, also rebuilding america's schools, really is a two-for in the sense that we need to reform and certainly make sure that our transportation infrastructure system is good. there's been too much deferred maintenance for years, a fancy way of saying it's crumbling. and at the same time it could put many, hundreds of thousands of workers to work, one out of five construction workers today is unemployed. and this is the best time to do it because not only do you have all those workers unemployed and all that deferred maintenance but you have very low borrowing costs. the ten-year treasury bill has a yield of 2% or less. if we're ever going to get our infrastructure rebill, this is the time to do it. >> ifill: is this the time to do it, matthew slaughter? >> i think it is. i'll pick up on robert's insight of it being a two-for. some sort of infrastructure investment will create new jobs in the u.s. economy. i think it's important

[ artis brown ] america is facing some tough challenges right now. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for our country's energy security and our economy. like a ramen noodle- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her

it was actually originally a third reich design.of what i write about in the book discusses our program called operation paper clip was put into affect after the war where america pillage third reich scientists to head up our aerospace programs and much of our military programs. turner von braun is the best example. redesigned the the 2 rocket for hitler and the apollo rockets for kennedy. but russia also did the same thing. they pillaged the scientists they could get their hands on. so this flying disc according to the engineer was something that had crashed in new mexico and the intent was for it to be a hoax. that stalin in 1947 when we are talking about the roswell crash, 1947 stalin did not yet have an atomic weapon. truman did. they were bitter rivals. so stalin made a move. fired a warning shot over truman's ball to say you may have the atomic bomb but i have psychological warfare. he wanted to send this flying disc to land in new mexico and have people come out that looked like aliens. the engineer told me that the child's e
