the houston plan was before i was sitting in the inner counsels, or if it was discussed, it was never discussed in my presence, so i never heard about it until watergate exploded. the meetings i remember were in the summer of '71, when nixon was exploding over the papers that were being circulated through washington. not only the pentagon papers that got to the press, but some that got to the brookings institution, and other places where nixon had senators offices. we got calls from the senators offices. and so i heard him in one meeting say -- turned to all of them. and i was in the room with holder, just the two of us. he turned to me and said, bob, how many times have i got to tell you, we need a team here? people can go in and break in if necessary, get those papers back, he said. we're not going to get it done otherwise. the fbi used to do this. they're not doing a good job of it. all of this is on tape so you probably heard these tapes. i was sitting there listening. and this is maybe where youth becomes a disadvantage. i took him very literally. i thought this is really what he

>> it was not a voting record that was stellar.andid enough to say when she made her last speech in congress. it was a democratic hunger is. it is very difficult for a republican to get things through. >> what did she do after she was in congress? >> after she left congress, she was hoping to go back to the theater. by then she had had three broadway hits. all three were made into movies and were successful. she had to go back but she found that the kinds of plays she ,rote, which were satirical rather at citic wit -- acidic wit, she found that hard to do after what she had seen in world war ii. her particular gift was that. to go back to writing melodrama, she wasn't really equipped to do. she simply couldn't write the funny comedies anymore. she then went on the lecture circuit. she used to do a lot of public speaking. then she converted to catholicism. .hen she got back into writing she went back to hollywood. she had already written a play about china before she went to congress but it was never made. million"lled "the 400 whic

some of it was -- >> one night i was up there, he was talking about, this is in december of '72, he was talking about kissinger having given his interview, and we're talking just the two of us in a little sitting area off the living room, and all of a sudden he waives to me and we go into the hall leading into the bedrooms, he says, the next administration, kissinger's gone, i don't want him around. and just vents. and we walk back in the room and resume the conversation. if i had any sense, i would have realized that place was bugged. you. >> sent someone to paris to photograph a woman -- >> no, get a photograph published in a french newspaper. ted kennedy dancing with maria pia who was in the the swinging society of paris. someone sent us a clipping from europe. nixon said to me, i want that picture. we really thought teddy kennedy would have been our opponent in '72, and he would have been a tough opponent, i think -- and we tried through the normal ways to do it. just couldn't turn up on the news services, contacted the people in paris and couldn't get an answer. i call a guy in new

the dark side was very vicious. it was the anti-semitic. it was prejudiced in some ways. it was always at war with his better instincts. itis somewhat reflected -- somewhat reflected what we found out about the u.s. government as a whole because nixon's resignation led to this great crisis of confidence. it led to the disclosures there had been assassination crews going after foreign leaders and the fbi had tapped martin luther king and other civil rights leaders, all way before richard nixon took office. these things built upon themselves. by the end of the 1970's, we were in a dismal state in america making about things. jimmy carter tried the kinder, gentler approach. "i will never lie to you, i will tell you the truth." reagan came in and sat it is -- said it is time to forget that and well on the good things. we bounced back. you can remember the late 1970's as an awful time thinking about it. the economy was in dismal shape. there were gas lines. we are hearing -- were hearing all this horrible stuff about jfk's affairs. it was a dismal time. with the exception of b

he was a deputy. you know, my mom was thrilled. >> he was in a policeman's uniform. that's what i first noticed was the policeman's uniform, you know, and i said, "she's found somebody who's going to protect her." >> but as the relationship progressed, and around the time that michelle moved in with jeremy, he disrespected her, controlled her. i heard less and less from michelle. >> she says, "mom, it's getting bad." and that was about a month or two before she died. and i said, "just come home." >> narrator: the day she died, michelle told family and a friend she had decided to end the relationship. >> on september 2, 2010, michelle came over with alexis to have lunch. she loved this band paramore. i was going to watch alexis while she went to the concert with jeremy that night. and i'm making lunch, and i said, "what's going on?" she was really upset. and she said, "chris, it's so bad." and she just hung her head. i told her, "don't go to the concert," and she said, "no, i'm gonna go. i bought the tickets, i'm going, i'm gonna have a good time. but i'm breaking up

so that was something that was very pressur

i was, i was, it was a sunday that pearl harbor happened. and i had, i was studying at st. louis university and had a weekend job as a busboy in south st. louis. we were hitchhiking. with another busboy to our place of employment in south st. louis. we arrived there and the owner of the restaurant stood at the door and he said, "fellas, turn right back. i will not open my restaurant today. something terrible has happened." >> i'd like, if we could do a synopsis of your military service perhaps for all of us up to the time of the d day invasion. mr. ford, if we could start with you. perhaps about your induction in the army and then your training in the tanks. if we could -- get you talk about -- the induction in the army and then the training you went with, as a tanker, and perhaps about moving over to england and getting ready? >> you want me to go up? >> up to the invasion date. from the time you enter the army. >> talk about d day, too. >> yes, sir. talk about d day as well. >> talk about how the, when i was drafted. >> yes, sir. we could start with when you are drafted a

this was all sudden. shin was very excited. they were really lucky in their escape planning because they were assigned on the first of the year to go up to the side of the camp to gather firewood that was close to the fens that wasn't near the guard towers where they looked down on prisoners with weapons and could have shot people running for the fence. they waited until late afternoon on january 2nd, 2005 till dusk. and they ran towards the fence. in fact, when they decided to go, when shin decided to go, he said let's go to park. and park said i am not so sure. and shin grabbed his hand and grabbed and pulled it toward the fence. and park started to run. as they ran, shin slipped and fell in the snow on an icy part of the snow because it was cold in the middle of the winter. park got there first and shoved his torso between the wires and was eelectricuted and shin got through the fence and his leg slipped off and he got terrible burns from the voltage. i talked to an expert on electricution and this scenario which struck me a

the family was terrified. he was facing up to life in prison if convicted. >> i was really worried. bottom line is, the fate of my twin brother rests in the hands of 12 people i don't know. >> joe mansfield methodically laid out the state's case for the jury. there was, he argued, only one possible way to explain lena's death. >> lena kaufman died as a result of mechanical asphyxiation to her neck. and the defendant, her husband, is the one that did it. >> that ultimate evidence would be scientific, medical, said the prosecutor, but he wanted jurors to keep in mind the obvious. adam kaufman was the only adult home at the time of lena's death, giving him the opportunity to kill her. and with his body-builder strength, the wherewithal, too. on top of that, adam couldn't keep his story straight said the prosecutor, version one came from the 911 call when adam said he found lena on the floor. >> she's not breathing? >> no! she's on the floor! dying! >> but the fire rescue lieutenant said he found lena somewhere else in the bathroom. >> he told me word for word that he found her slumped

i was educated enough to know that what i was going to find was not necessarily going to be pretty. that is all i had to go on was just that one statement for my grandfather. and some old news to you for clippings of obituaries. so what i didn't know the details. i didn't know the extent they were involved. in lynchings, and the clan. these are all to later discover. so it was kind of expected. i didn't expect to find the oral history that my great-grandfather gave in 1936 as part of the works progress administration where he bragged about his first lynching, where he bragged about how the whites in 1872% of the blacks from voting and helped from voting in help -- at the end of reconstruction and the beginning of jim crow. that kind of pride in ethnic violence, that was really surprising. i also didn't understand the power of the kook left clan in texas politics in the 1920s or that my great-grandfather was all kidnapped political movement. you know, i wasn't really surprised to find out that they were often these things, that the details were shocking. >> host: we have been knowing

and i said, "what was it? was it a 747?" and they said, "no, it was a light plane, and i think it may have damaged the jackson magnolia tree," and i said, "wait a minute. this could be a terrorist attack on the president. were there explosives in the plane?" and the answer was, "well, according to cnn news" -- [laughter] and i said, "no, i would appreciate it if you would get off your butt and go out there check it out." >> if it makes you feel good, there is a great story that colin powell tells, being at a church with the national security advisor, and an aide comes during the service, this ceremony, and says, "there is an urgent phone call for you," and, boy, everybody's eyes follow the national security council director as he leaves the church, and he comes back 10 minutes later, and alma powel says, "what is going on?" and he says, "there has been a coup in x country," and she says, "oh, i heard that on cnn already." [laughter] >> what makes the presidency what it is is that every single day is filled with -- i guarante

it was a fad, really. i think general sherman was a big fan.wns and cities began building roller rinks, places where you can go roller skate and westin would stage walking exhibitions in these roller rinks, walk against time. he would attempt to walk 100 miles in 24 hours. and he'd pull into a town and hire a band and he would do these walks and thousands of people would come and pay 10 cents a piece just to watch westin walk in circles on the floor of these roller rinks. i mean sometimes the laps were so small they were 50 to a mile. he had amazing endurance and also an ability to function with very little sleep. and this proved very lucrative these exhibitions and soon competitors sprang up. the most famous was an irish immigrant from chicago, daniel o'leary. he was a door to door book salesman until the great fire in 1871 in chicago. that really reduced the demand for guiilt-edged version of the bible or dictionaries. so he had to walk out to the suburbs to sell books and developed a reputation for endurance himself. when he thought about we

>> he was only 13. >> hinojosa: he was a kid. >> he was only 13 years old when i met him, but he was-- and i described it in the story-- he was just so impressive. and not in a freakish way, but he was a kid who clearly loved the art form of performance and of singing, and had mastered it. the james brown spins and moves and the crooning and the blues kind of vocal style. he was so sharp and so driven to perfect his work that he already excelled in all of these different forms of music. it was just amazing. it was undeniable. >> hinojosa: he was an incredibly hard worker. >> then five years ago, i meet them again. now they're the jacksons, they're away from motown, they're still working together-- the brothers, and... a slightly different lineup because jermaine had left and stayed at motown. and so i met him as an 18-year-old at our home in san francisco for a tv show. we decided to have a different location than the usual backstage or hotel room. and so they all emerged out of a long stretch limo on buchanan street in japantown in san francisco, and popped into our apartment-- diann

it was wingate. he was stark naked. and he didn't get dressed for the next two hours while they discussed persian literature. well, so they were tasked these johnny allison and phil cochran, they were tasked by arnold to take these british chindits into burma any way they could and support them. it was an idea they were going to show off what the u.s. army air force could do. arnold said to cochran and allison, they wanted to get back into the big show, he finally enticed them into doing it by saying, to hell with paperwork, get out there and fight. there's very little in the way of actual paperwork which made researching this kind of a challenge. as i said, they were kind of young, young guys. they -- they had all these planes. anything that they wanted, they got. they not only got the planes, but anything else that they wanted. some of you military buffs may have heard of the m 1 a 1. the very first ones of those went to the air commandos because they found out they had them and they wanted them. they said, okay, you

there was a lot. we have to keep in mind that this was in the beginning of the so-called global financial crisis. that is due to the fact that they were the weakest link and it all kind of just happened in a day or two. and as a result of that there was that confusion people did not understand what was going on. they were angry at each other politically and people started losing the apartments into the cars and stuff was being confiscated and suddenly it was useless and we didn't know what was going to happen, so the protest so-called pots and pans revolution started in the parliament every day. they demanded that the government resign and it took a household and thinks them together to make noise and it kept escalating more and more people and it got more and more violent. i forgot to mention that my father he was a policeman and i was following this and we lived very close by the parliament and i would go down there sometimes and i could see in the crowd many of my friends angry and shouting and thr

it was broken when michael brown was shot. maybe it was broken before. but it has certainly been broken since. they're hiding or the public sees them as not being forthcoming. of course, the heavy tactics all hurt the trust the community needs with its police. to reestablish that, the captain from the troopers is a big step. releasing that incident report would be a big step. making an arrest in the michael brown murder would be a step. and those would be big steps to get past this thing and move on, make things better in ferguson. >> jim cavanaugh, you used the word murder. we will hear from an eyewitness and as you listen to the facts, that is the charge that is supported by what this witness is going to say. jim, stay with us. i want you to analyze that witness -- what that witness has to say. more coming up. you'll hear from president obama, what he had to say today. it was actually a historic day. the president of the united states has never stepped forward before in a situation like this, and i don't mean just this president. i mean every one of th

there was not a maybe, maybe. >> that was nice. it was great.en i got the scripts, i said will we be able to get away with this because that show was not written like most television shows. the conversations were not particularly meaningful. they were small conversations that were funny. that appeal to me tremendously. ♪ the following is a paid advertisement for the new face of time life, starvista entertainment. the brands you trust. now we are reaching for the stars. hollywood's biggest stars and america's biggest comedian and the greatest talent of all time. you are about to be a legend. >> ladies and gentlemen, don

clue to where he was, was taken down. charles mozdir chose to run and he stayed out there for two years, and he chose to have a gun and he chose to shoot those cops first. they wanted to bring him in. they wanted to take him in alive. they only had to fire because he shot each one of those three cops. i always believed that the public was the best ally to law enforcement. all i asked was go online, make that phone call, give us the tip. we'll take it from there. and they came through again. you came through again. >>> back in 1981, i had the american dream, the beautiful wife, the house in the suburbs, and a beautiful 6-year-old son. and one day i went to work, kissed my son good-bye, and never saw him again. in two weeks, i became the parent of a murdered child and i'll always be the parent of a murdered child. i still have the heartache. i still have the rage. i waited years for justice. i know what it's like to be there waiting for some answers, and over those years, i learned how to do one thing really well. and that'

i was not burned out. i have plenty of ideas, it was not that. i was learning how to do it.t was not that, i just thought -- i just felt i had done that and wanted to try something else. is pretty much it. >> tell me about the jerry you know. >> tommy about him. you know this guy as well as anyone. as you say, on the same wavelength. ? >>o you watch the show yes, i do. there you go. he watched george? there you go. that is all you need to know about me. pick --re like a painter who says everything you need to know about me is right here in the painting? i have had composers say everything you need to know about me is in the music. >> i am very much like a costco in many ways. my affinity for sex apparently. my outputs. we have a lot in common. >> it is set for jerry the show was fun. for you, doing the show was suffering. >> i also had a lot of fun, too. >> come on, george. finished the story. >> the sea was angry that day, my friend. man trying to send back super in a deli. a deli.in [laughter] feet out and0 suddenly the gray beast appeared before me. i tell you he was 10 s

it was very, very scary. i literally thought i was going to die. i was like, okay, here we go. this is it. >> i had no time to do anything but ride it out. >> the wing hits the ground first. then the nose crashes down at a 45-degree angle. >> are you okay? ian's phone continues recording audio in the frantic moments after the crash. >> holy [ bleep ]! grandpa, are you okay? grandpa, are you okay? >> my first thought was, wow, this really just happened. how am i not dead. i looked at myself and i was like, okay, everything's working, my body's in tagt. >> grandpa are you okay? grandpa, are you okay? holy [ bleep ]. i was just like, okay, we've got to get out of this plane because it could blow up. >> ian dislodges himself from the wreckage but his grandfather is stuck. his legs trapped by equipment that collapsed around him on impact. >> so he lifted my 230 pounds out of the doorway and helped me get out of the airplane. luckily for both of us, we did not have any fire so we were able to get out of the plane without any further injury. >> help soon arrives on the scene. >> i was

was that a little -- was that the 20 tons -- kilotons?sorry. >> i don't want to go on record on that. >> somewhere in the book it said that the -- that between the two bombs, it was equal to the -- all the conventional bombs dropped in europe, and obviously, that's pretty significant, you know, considering how much we actually did drop. even more significant is, you know, think about current day. we have 50, 60, 70, megaton, you know, warheads on our nuclear bombs. that's, you know, 1,500 times what nagasaki was. it's pretty significant when you think about it in that sense. what could come from one of those bombs. >> absolutely. we're literally talking in mathematical terms about orders of magnitude. more destructive. but the chief terror of nuclear weapons is not just their blast, but also their long-term effects in terms of radiation. those things were so ill understood in 1945 that most people just thought of them as really, really big bombs and expressed them as such. kilotons. thousands of tons. it's the same as 70 b-29 loads. tryin

palestine, that was considered as jewish as it was arab. it was when i was a kid. that's the way it was considered. that's all. but it is a myth and one thing happened in that war that i think is worth knowing about. israel was very concerned that it was going to be two fronts. it was going to be the western front which was egypt, tanks were already being sent across the sinai, he had sealed up the gulf in the south and syria in the north, but it was particularly -- they thought they could win a two-front war. they didn't think they could win a three-front war against jordan as well on the east. so the prime minister at the time talked to our ambassador and said we can't talk to king hussain because we don't have diplomatic relations. could we use your offices or maybe the ambassador to jordan's offices, the u.s. ambassador, to guarantee, israel guarantees we won't take anything that jordan considers its territory, including their west bank, and even referred to the term west bank, which no one really would refer to as judea and samaria. anyway, even that, we won't

his hair was dark as night, so was mine. it was an interesting picture to watch him go from a bright, young writer with a flamboyant writing style to a historic figure in american journalism and political lure. and, later, the author of well-reviewed books on pope john paul, ii and hillary clinton, who is now writing a book on his early years, his teen years, at the washington star for long time washingtonians. he is now the professor at stonybrook university, in long island. carl was always the more colorful of the duo. bob woodward tells this story on carl back in the mid '70s. that reflected much of public opinion at the time. but the wheels of time are turned by the wheels of irony. nixon's old nemesis gave president ford a courage award for his action. history is often argument without cease fire and it will be interesting to hear carl's thoughts 40 years later since he wrote the first rough draft of history as the publisher of the washington post once called journalism. we could have no better ring master. he and his b

he was allowed to retire. so was his underling. and we are paying their taxpayer-subsidized government pensions today. this is an extraordinary case, but it is all too typical of that culture of corruption at ins. c-span: why did you write your book? >> guest: why did i write my book? well, september 11 was obviously a galvanizing event for me, seeing the lapses in our immigration system that allowed the september 11 hijackers to come in, exploit our weak enforcement, work underground and live here comfortably. and that is a theme that i've been talking a lot about over my career in journalism, for more than a decade. i started out in los angeles, and it's hard to ignore the negative consequences of lax immigration enforcement when you're in the middle of it in los angeles. so over the years, you know, i've written a number of stories about so many aspects of the immigration system from top to bottom -- the front door, the back door, the side door. and then there's a personal aspect of it, too. i often talk about how i myself am th

but he was -- you're right, he was so quick. they said -- i never got one, but they said his phone messages that if you called his house if he wasn't home were hysterical. he and jonathan winters would go back and forth deliberately leaving phone messages and telling people to call and don't wait for an answer, he wouldn't pick up the phone so you could hear the phone message. then he could be very, very serious. the last time he appeared with me we had a frank discussion about his problems with alcohol and trying to overcome that. i guess, you know, you'll never know. suicide is one of those things that people debate whether it's gutty or chicken. i don't think we'll ever know the answer. i just can't comprehend what it must have been like at those last moments of his life. to take your own life. can you comprehend? >> away from family and friends and an adoring world. i wondered especially in the context of this is a man who last month was in rehab, but he wasn't in rehab it's my understanding because he fell off the wagon, be

i was so fortunate, when i was 14, 15, 16, when he was doing the dick van dyke show. know i must have been the pain in the [ bleep ]. when i was off from school in the summertime, i go down to the studios and i would sit there and observe and watch, you know, him working with the other writers and actors and watching the director stage the scenes. it was like a tremendous experience for me. and i always just wanted that. but it was overwhelming. i didn't know how i could quite ever do that. >> there's no question about it. rob reiner is one of the smartest people i know. and he's been smart since he was a little kid. very serious. he was -- when he was, 3, 4 years old and we would do the "2,000-year-old man" he would sit on the steps and get it. there's a very good brain in there. there's no question that he had to become who he became. >> carl, let me ask you -- >> by the way, his brain mainly is from his mother. no. i said this many times and i really meant it. his mother was an extraordinary o woman. estelle reiner. we raised three great kids. he has two siblings i

there's a reason that this, you know -- and what was weird to me was that he was ridiculously popular when he was president. people minted coins out of him, they wanted him to run again in 1928. why is it that all these people believe one thing about coolidge, and all the people who are alive including the 100-year-old lady i met who voted for him, why is it they were all so pro-coolidge? what actually happened with the depression? and it's my contention that the depression is a function of many different things. one thing it's a function of was big government republicans. there was this view that the republican party -- shocker, oh, shocker -- was split into two factions. one faction was very much an establishment faction that wanted to just manage everything. their attitude was we need a businessman to lead, an executive to lead our party. that's the herbert hoover faction. then there was another faction which was we need a constitutional conservative, a guy who really believes in the declaration of independence which was central to cool in's thinking. he really -- coolidge's thinki

a con -- parliament was a constituent assembly that was to write a constitution, and there was a lot of wrangling between the religious right and the more secular leftist forces, but they were in coalition with one another, and they made the hard compromises. and last january they voted for the constitution. among the issues in the constitution which the young people really watched like a hawk and mobilized around were women's rights. so the religious right in tunisia said, well, women and men, you know, they have complimentary rights. [laughter] so, you know, tunisian mamas didn't raise any fools, everybody understood exactly what that meant. so the young people on the left mobilized, they allied with the major labor union w the student unions. they came back out into the streets. all last summer and fall in tunisia there's been another kind of civil revolution, and they demanded that there be equal rights for women, that the constitution guarantee workers' rights and so forth and freedom of conscience was another issue. because the religious right in tunisia, you know, wanted to pu

>> no, but i was aware of it that morning. it was a major event.called me and said elvis wants to come in. what do you think about that? i said why? he said he wants to get a badge from the bureau of narcotics and dangerous drugs so he can be a drug enforcement officer. i said, that's kind of unusual. >> stephen: he certainly looks like an expert in this photo. john, thanks so much for joining me. >> thank you. (applause) >> stephen: john dean, the nixon defense. chocolate is very individual. white chocolate lovers don't like dark chocolate. milk chocolate lovers don't necessarily like dark or white. before we couldn't really allow the consumer to customize their chocolate. we needed a scalable cloud solution allowing them to select what they are looking for. now there is endless opportunity to indulge. customization is made with the ibm cloud. the ibm cloud is the cloud for business. i lochecked bag.free with my united mileageplus explorer card. i have saved $75 in checked bag fees. priority boarding is really important to us. you can just get on

later on he was. i might mention one thing that -- i could probably name a half a dozen who would have been good players who came up later. interesting thing about jackie robinson, the brooklyn dodgers actually stole jackie robinson from the monarchs. they never compensated them. wilkinson who owned the team and a man who had part ownership, they could not say anything, because they would be looked upon as holding the black player back if they were to argue this debate about why didn't you compensate us for this player. this is a business. so they didn't say anything. quiet quietly, they had their own boycott. no kansas city monarch plays for the dodgers again. that's the way they boycotted. brooklyn dodgers. >> do you have any record of anthony kansas in the monarchs? >> sure. >> my dad played for anthony about 90 years ago. if there's some way you could -- i would appreciate it. it's been a long time since i even knew -- my dad has been gone 50 years. >> i tell you what. they did play anthony kansas

i was more worried about the truck blowing up than i was anything because the heat was really intense. >> with the tank lifted, alex starts to roll away from the dangerous flames. laura, jim and the others drag the shaken customer to safety. >> he's away from the flame? >> he's away from the flame. >> remarkably, he escapes without severe burns but suffers a fractured kneecap and broken ribs. the driver of the van pleads no contest to failure to control her vehicle and is fined $25. >> weeks later, alex is temporarily in a wheelchair, and he's reunited with his rescuers at a community award ceremony to honor their bravery. >> your quick actions and concern for the well-being of others at the time of confusion and extreme danger is in keeping with the highest traditions reserved for those we recognize as heroes. >> i'm glad that y'all are recognizing these people because i have great feelings for them. >> after the ceremony, laura and jim accompany alex on his first trip back to the gas station. >> it was just adrenaline running through. >> exactly. well, i think we were all running on

but she was-- she was very willing to start with me when i was 14, the year after i was with zurkin.first of all darius mio, the great mio who was the head of the composition faculty, he brought contemporary composers with him every summer. so one had a chance to talk with them and hear their musk and work on their music. just, for example. i conducted albert harring in front of its composer benjamin britain while i was there. i think of that now because we're doing a beautiful revival of midsummer night's dream at the met at the moment. and it's-- but i think one after the other, it perhaps can be seen better if i say whenever i conduct a french piece or play a french piece, behind me are john morell, my teacher at july yard, a very french and brilliant conducter. jenny turrell who i studied with and played concerts with for years, regine cespa likewise, pierre bulen when i started in cleveland he started conducting in cleveland and he worked with me on a lot of his music and school music that i needed to learn. and manual rosenthal came to the met and conducted our french triple bi

the other one was shaped like this, but it was this big.his phone weighs over a kilo, about 2.5 pounds. the battery lasts for 20 minutes of talking. not a problem. you could not hold it up for 20 minutes, it was so heavy. [laughter] but we took it to new york and to washington, and it did just what we wanted it to do. it got a lot of attention. people saw that you could make this work. we build a cellular system in new york and another one in washington. we took the congressmen, senators, and fcc commissioners for a drive through the city. a very carefully selected drive, as we knew it was going to work at every point along that drive. they got an idea of the vision that we had, of the freedom that you have when you can talk anywhere. and that was the beginning. >> bravo. is that when you first spoke on the cell phone, at that public demonstration? >> it was the first public call. the engineers did a lot of phone calls before they let me. >> alexander graham bell said, mr. watson, come here, i want to see you. samuel morse keyed in, from th

and it was rough but it was anything bad traveling on a cruise liner. what a journey that was. and then we got to go a half a day went by land paris, which is a two day trip by a huge cumbersome stagecoach affair. and they would stop halfway and they would see for the first time a european masterpiece and the masterpiece was the berlin cathedral. many of them wrote at length and very much at heart about the impact of this one building this one experience. and they knew that something greater had begun. been in the old world. and i thought that's it. "the greater journey." they know they are in a greater journey which should be their experience. their spiritual, mental, professional journey in the city of paris where they are trying to rise to the occasion to exile in a particular field whether it was writing or music or painting our scope share are not a sin because many of them went as medical students in the capital of the world. so they are ambitious to exile and they are going against the trend because to go off to europe was not fashionable yet and it wasn't part of one's

james brady was 73.aus [applause] in recent days israel was attacked and compelled to take action to defend itself. this is the third time in six years. once again voices have been raised criticizing the military operations to demonizes real for acts of self defense that would be a no-brainer for any other country in the world. the specially for the 1.7 million palestinians who essentially have since taken hostage by how moss -- hamas to advance the agenda we are fortunate to have joshua muravchik his booktv of lynn how the world turned against israel" that seems irrelevant to the events. he has written hundreds of articles of a wide variety of policy of topics the author of nine previous books including heaven on earth the rise and fall of socialism and fulfilling america's destiny and trailblazers with the voices of democracy in the middle east and currently a fellow at the foreign policy institute at the school of international studies and for many years was at the american enterprise institute 2011 t

michelle was working with a woman who was taking a writing class and i was taking the same class. so we met i explained i was interviewing veterans and she said i know some people you should interview and michelle was on the list. they were colleagues working together. >> did you travel to these countries? >> i did not. i thought about it a lot. i got all the paperwork i would need to go to afghanistan. we were already out of iraq when i started to look at traveling. and it was not necessarily going to be a great idea to go there. afghanistan was possible but the situation was deteriorating. i am a mom and my son is here. i chose not to go. it was hard for me to make that decision because previously i have always blind but i thought i should not. so i didn't. but i did read a lot. there is all whole list of books in the acknowledgements like see forever war that is an amazing book about afghanistan. yellow birds is a novel about iraq written by somebody who was there who had deployed there and come back. and i read you know, when the men are gone. and cheese book was not out yet b

was pulled off the line because he had the shakes so bad he couldn't stay, he was passing out, he was hyperventilating, he said i had to listen in two ways. he said, i had to listen horizontally to that soldier if he could talk. tell me what's going on. what are you feeling? he said but -- he also said i would listen vertically and ask the lord to give me discernment to know how to hear him and know what to do. and he said, the learning to listen vertically became absolutely essential in working with these shell-shocked or battle-fatigue cases. he said sometimes you would just say give this man a shot and get him out of here, he's not going to be of any use for quite a while. he said other times i had a sense, i would take a man and grab him by the shoulder and say "are you --" in this case it was a christian, a protestant minister. "are you a christian?" and he'd say i'd shake him until his teeth rattled and he'd say "you're going stay 23rd psalm with me." the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. and he'd take him through. and he said "i'd shake him. are you hearing this? let's say

ask it was only i was there for someone else to see. the lights went out, and when they came back on, it was him there instead when he was doing pop eye. his arms were buffed out. yeah. it's just tragic. when he lived in cliffside we went by for hall wean with my son. >> you wanted to pay respects. >> you feel like you need to. though you didn't know him personally. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the family has requested that no one park in front of the robin williams home here. you can see orange cones placed. robin williams car is still in the driveway. a lot of neighbors saying he was a quiet, private man. folks would see him riding his bicycle up and down st. thomas drive. a news conference by the sheriff's department is scheduled tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m reporting the death. >> the news was just so sudden for all of the fans and sadly for those that knew him, for fans that loved him. >> he is a huge actor. the sheriff's office says an autopsy will be performed including a toxicology exam. with such a big imprint on the enterta

he was reluctant to ask for food. it was in the new york times. and this story was in 1937. i used it at the beginning of the book which -- and then flashed back to the beginning to make the following point: the depression was a terrible understudy depression, and my economic work, what i teach at university and so on, is about why the depression lasted ten years instead of five. so, and the answer is, well, one is labor policy; two is uncertain people versus experimentation sounds great, but it scares markets, and people don't always hire when they're concerned about uncertainty. and there were monetary and credit aspects to the depression. it was in the depression as well. so it's those three, four, five explanations are detailed in the print book and are marqueed in this book. >> do you have any thoughts of a specific cause of the '37 recession? >> well, the area where i can add value and one of the gratifying things of this 15-year process is many, many economists have come to me and say i have data for this, thank you for writing the narrative. is that the labor policy

anthony comstalk was his name and he was a self-made vice star who was going to stop all vice. he saw sin in everything. medical books. >> like kenneth star? >> exactly. there were some cartoons made and one is he is standing up with a woman next to him looking at the judge saying you honor, this woman just gave birth to a naked baby. but that was a situation where he then happened to make the federal -- it is going back to your point -- he got the federal law and made obscenity tougher. he was against everything the best writers wrote and walt whitman and george bernard shaw and forced a major abortionist to commit suicide. so when you talk about the anti-movement there has been a backlash from males and females. you have to remember, i am sure it is in your book, that the women's movement in the '60s starts because the anti-war movement was leaving them out and not letting them run anything. one got mad when tom hayden got off the plane and handed me dirty laundry and said clean it. >> before we take questions, i want to ask you a current question that may not seem important

what was happening, and that was lou wallace. when the war started. he had the zoab unit in indiana before the war. those were those drill teams that dresses up in these colorful uniforms. they became the 11th indiana when the war started. he scored an early victory at romney, west virginia, right after first manassas, when the union was looking for heroes. and the union press played him up really big. he became a general. and that was sort of his high point. his low point happened at the battle of shiloh, when his regiment got lost the first night. probably not his fault. it was rough terrain, bad weather, et cetera, dark. grant and alec were very, very upset. he did fight the second day, they sort of shoved him to the side after that and he was -- his job was at this point in the war, he was the commander of the union's middle atlantic department. which was -- basically his job was military governor of baltimore. reading the same intelligence that the union high command got, and didn't do anything about, wallace did something a

when this particular reserve was there was the belief that underneath this area that was named for thisock that looked like a teapot at one time , nowadays it kind of looks like a chimney rock. at one time it had a handle, it had a spout. over the years, i think it was in the 1920's, the spout got broken off by a lightning strike and eventually the handle disappeared, too, from erosion. and now if you say it is up by teapot rock, well, how does that look like a teapot? it does not anymore. it once was a teapot. 1920,t location before that location was simply fenced and left in the public domain and sort of watched over by officials from the department expectationwith the that the commercial developers because thislear is federal land that we are talking about. fall was1921, albert new mexico's first u.s. senator. he had had a career in the southwest as an oil developer, as more or -- miner, less a land mineral prospector. lauren g harding was elected president in november -- laurent hardingg -- warren g 1920.ected in november of he announced that albert fall would be in his cabinet. pro

it was his act.astards in washington are not going to tell me what to do. >> and you anarchists had better have your day now, because i tell you again, you're through after november 5th in this country. ♪ ♪here i am. rock you like a hurricane♪ fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle. >>> you go ahead. >> ladies and gentlemen, could you lower those signs, please? i have some very sad news for all of you. and i think sad news for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world. and that is that martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee. [ audience shrieks ] >> when king was killed, bobby was on his way to a campaign stop in indianapolis. going into the ghetto. and the cops said, don't go. they were fearful of a riot. bobby went anyways. >> for those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, i would only say that i can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feel

which was. old tribal differences political different ideologies and what that metastasizing has now brought about isis to be more vitriolic more powerful and more dangerous than anything we've ever seen in iraq in the last decade that indeed all right jake deliberate iraq war veteran and doctoral researcher at the university of birmingham in the u.k. these are weighing in on that they are much. and now to the latest in ukraine moscow is planning to further provide humanitarian aid to the people of donetsk and lugansk regions that's what russian president vladimir putin told german chancellor on the merkel and a phone conversation today the two sides discuss the results of the customs union member states meeting that took place in the capital of belarus but the focus of media attention was of course on the first one on one meeting between putin and his ukrainian counterpart petro poroshenko artie's irene a go go has the details. clinton is the first ever hinted between the current president of r

it wasn't until i was 24 and it was threw working as an engineer i realized how much writing was involved. it was like writing reports, proposals, writing studies, all this, that i started falling in love with language. from that i just wrote a poem one day. i think i've always thought poetically, and the book -- i try to infuse that poetic sensibility and passages, the challenge with the poet writing prose, is i have to remember to tell the story as well, and i think i've learned that and very well, hopefully. i was always impressed by maniages, sort of self-contained ways in which something can have meaning. i remember my first poem was about watching a woman scurry down a staircase on her way to work late, in red pumps. i don't know why that seemed poetic to me. they were probably horrible pumps, but i always sort of saw glimpses. that was my entry into the creative world at first, you know, i just did it for sheer pleasure and love of the art, sheer creative curiosity, and i think i still do, but i mean, i just -- i had no expectations when i first started writing, and look what's hap

bomb, i becamed convinced, i can tell you i was afraid most of the time, wherever i was, wherever i was traveling, when i went off to school, i was convinced that sooner or later i was going to die from one of the bombs that was exploding in birmingham. so i found myself for many years after that, probably about 20 depressionering from at a time where we didn't call it depression, but it took a long time to sort through the things that had happened here in birmingham and to understand them and to put them in perspective. what made me decide to write the book was just the resurgence of mean-spiritedness that i began to see. i really felt that america had reached a crossroads many years after the bombing of the church. i really felt that america had looked back and had looked at all the mistakes we had made in our country and that they were committed to moving forward in a positive way for all of its citizens. when i began to realize and to see things that were contradictory to that, i decided that perhaps we had forgotten many of the lessons we have learned.

it disappeared and was a mystery for many years. when it was discovered, it was 1000 deep. starting with the recovery operation, its location, taking that information, what we knew , bringing it back into the lab. and then our scientists began a detailed investigation into the summer rain. we recovered the summering in the year 2000. 2001 was the interior excavation. was full ofubmarine mud which was excellent for us. as archaeologist, it signaled we were going to have good preservation, and we did. looking at the artifacts, including human remains and associated artifacts and trying to put those into contacts to context,happened, that to seethose into context what happened, how the crew died, for example. this will hopefully point us to a conclusion as to what happened that night. the crew is a fascinating part of the story of the hunley. if you look at the submarine, it is a long, narrow tube. out,ng and it, going making an attack, several hours out, several hours back, putting your life at risk, knowing that if anything goes wrong at all you will meet certain death. the

you know what it was? it was a little cocker spaniel dog, and our little girl, tricia, the 6-year-old, named it checkers. and you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog, and i just want to say this right now that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it. (laughter) >> stephen: this speech was the most skillful political deflection since stalin's infamous "yes, i have work camps, but they're filled with kittens." (laughter) a tender message. nixon's lost the 1960 election to john f. kennedy. in part due to a poor performance in the first televised presidential debate. kennedy chose to wear makeup, while nixon chose to be in black and white. (laughter) a rookie mistake. but eight years later, nixon pulled off the greatest political comeback in history, when he swept into the oval office. as president, his achievements were many. he founded the e.p.a., ended school segregation, lowered the voting age to 18 and endorsed the equal rights amendment. but his greatest achievement was restorin

he was very, i mean, it was not what i was expecting at all when i broke up with him. >> reporter: sohen you broke up with pedro, somewhere in your mind were you thinking, well, maybe i could start something with christian? >> there was a little part of me that kind of hoped that, you know, christian made me really happy and we had so many things in common, but a larger part of me was like, you know, it's never gonna happen. >> reporter: she would leave pedro behind to attend santa fe community college in gainesville and study biology. coincidentally, christian is heading to gainesville also, but to "the swamp," home of the orange and blue -- the university of florida gators. his future is full of promise. he has a scholarship, gets financial aid, and plans to study biomedical engineering. and when he and erika run into each other in gainesville, suddenly, sparks fly. >> it was crazy. we had these smiles on our faces from ear to ear and, i mean, we just looked at each other and like with these dumb faces, like, "is this really happening?" >> reporter: that sounds like true love in a w
