. >> this is a role that angelina jolie was slated to play.you think of the age range between angelina jolie and jennifer lawrence, you're talking like 15 years or so. >> we were concerned she was too young for the role. >> the director david o'russell. >> she almost has a timeless quality to her. i feel like sometimes she seems like she's 18, sometimes she seems like she's 40. she's not afraid to jump in and do it any number of different ways. >> that's right. >> i'm the reason why today happened. >> i think so. >> let's talk about that. >> be my guest. >> not afraid to go head to head with screen legend, robert de niro. >> i did my research. >> well, i got to say, i'm impressed. >> thank you. >> i've learned from example with him. he's very calm and nice and gets it done. >> it's a performance that won lawrence nearly every award, including her first oscar. >> it's absolutely incredible. yeah. i've been incredibly blessed. >> blessed, not just by her talent, but by a sense of humor. like when she fell in front of millions when accepting her

we know the role that family plays, the powerful role that family plays for harriet jacobs, her grandmother and her uncle, who not only provide psychological support, but they are buttresses for jacobs's critique of her own condition. she has these kind of family interlocutors who are critical to her developing critique and her resistance to dr. flint over time. again, celia, unclear. five slaves in that household in 1850. only two, celia and george, by the time newsom is killed. what sort of community would that have been for celia? a modest one. perhaps one that was profoundly transient. we see enslaved people there and then disappear. were they sold? did they run away? we can't know. but transient. we can see the relationship with george and how that was immodest and perhaps a somewhat impoverished context to jacobs. siobhan pointed to the context that they are both mothers. motherhood is a theme we have come back to again and again. we see two women who clearly -- on one hand, jacobs secrets herself, looking not only to secure her own liberty away from north carolina, but thinking very

exercises a very unusual role. as the nation with the greatest and yet very limited power in the world. the power to determine outcomes in foreign affairs. when things go wonky, people ask, what's the united states going to do about it? they don't say, what's mexico going to do about it. or france or iran. 95% of all soldiers serving op soil other than their own are americans. that includes u.n. peacekeepers and troops. this sometimes creates new problems in the process. this raises very important questions and possibilities. for example, are we the world's policemen? or from another perspective, are we a self-imposed bully? are we an empire? that seeks to dominate the world for its own geo-political benefit and economic prosperity. that's door number one. door number two, are we, as many realists believe, instead the only power that stands between the world and armageddon between a repetition of the great depression or world war ii or even nuclear devastation of the planet? is that our role? if that's true, must w

has a role to play but in this issue -- and it has played important roles in helping iraq on some levels -- it has played a role in training with the iraqi and iran government but in terms of national levels involving the top political elites -- i think the u.n. needs to happen under the umbrella and in terms of the actual leaders and the actual people. my theory and hypothesis is that it has to be led by arabs -- by people from the region. it has to be led by a country that is seen for all practical purposes an important country and an anchor to the region and egypt is such a country and has been applied before -- it does not evoke the negative attitudes among iraqis that other potential regions can say. the u.n. has to play a role but we are in a definite gain in terms of iraqi politics and having egypt play that role -- it could be a member of the convening team and bring that game to a level that it needs to be brought to at this stage of the conflict in iraq. >> i agree and i think the u.n. has a great moral persuasion role to play but in terms of an enforcement mechanism of getting

role, anded to play a incredibly important role. everybody knows the work of the cuban church. it is not a political actor but has an agenda to strengthen cuba's civil society because it's the right thing to do and create as much as much as account for the cuban people to come together, to dialogue and do the things we need to do as normal people to solve our own problems. we have a lot of problems. there has to be a willingness to solve these problems. i think the catholic church has historically or at least recently in the last few years, offered its services to make this happen. this pope,esence of that will continue to strengthen. i want to stress the fact that because the differential is in the process of being solved between russia and havana, there's still a huge differential to be solved among the cuban people. then needs to be put on the table and needs to be put on the agenda. cuba cannot have the prosperity it will need or the future it deserves without a country that can come together as one people to move forward. that requires a lot of work on all of us, on the cu

no such role exists. i think that is why the court did not recognize her self-defense claim. >> good. so it is any woman against her will. i think one of the key questions here is that the court must implicitly resolve for itself before it instructs the jury, is celia a woman with will, a slave woman? >> [indiscernible] i think that is incompatible with the idea of slavery at the time. the slave order -- owner can order something to the slaves. those two things are incompatible. >> here, every person, including newsom, upon conviction. convictedom have been in the same local court for the defilement of celia? yes? it was less about against her will and more about ie unlawfully part because know there was that dehumanization of slaves, but i think the point was more as a slave that she did not have the totection under the law like, being against her will was counted as rape because she was property. therefore he could do whatever he wanted. more about her will and more about whether it was unlawfully again

play d some small role to in this. i'd be interested to hear how this could be improved of the church might be more useful, in the important needs that you and the economy, and moving towards a new understanding of the embargo. >> thank you. let's take that one and then go back to alec. carlos, do you want to respond? >> yes. clearly we know from all the that the ouncements played an incredibly influential role. do not know if you've seen the cartoon is circulate around the internet -- when in argentina like you becomes the pope, and when an african-american becomes the united states. i think that the pope being latin america and clearly has an enormous interest in this region. to play an d incredibly important role in the region. everybody knows the rules the a tholic church is not an itical actor -- it has interest in strengthening civil society -- because it is the right thing to do. lord knows, we have a lot of problems. there has to be a willingness to solve these problems, and i church has atholic least ically, o

has a role to play but in this issue -- and important roles in helping iraq on some levels -- it has played a role in training with the iraqi and iran ofernment but in terms national levels involving the thinklitical elites -- i the u.n. needs to happen under the umbrella and in terms of the actual leaders and the actual people. hypothesis is that it has to be led by arabs -- by people from the region. it has to be led by a country that is seen for all practical purposes an important country and an anchor to the region and egypt is such a country and has been applied before -- it does not evoke the negative attitudes among iraqis that other potential regions can say. the u.n. has to play a role but we are in a definite gain in terms of iraqi politics and --ing egypt play that role it could be a member of the convening team and bring that game to a level that it needs to be brought to at this stage of the conflict in iraq. u.n.agree and i think the has a great moral persuasion role to play but in terms of an enforcement mechanism of getting chapter six or chapter seven on iraq -- that

they oversaw interrogations that were part of the role, the essential role that psychologists playedis whole process. i had mentioned that because general kiley is a guest at that convention and he it mentioned that to a group of us. ria kind of turned white and said one of the secrets i was asked to keep was that russ newman was a guiding force at that task force. we did not know his wife was a biscuit at guantÁnamo. she said now that this is revealed that was basically duped, i'm going to reveal all that took place at that meeting because i think that meeting -- it was a duplicitous meeting that the apa was colluding with the cia and the pentagon. it turns out that she was very pressured because jim risen's book gives us the smoking gun to validate what jean maria suspected at the time. >> the ap is now probing this task force that worked with the cia. why do you think they would have done this in the first place? >> probe? >> why they would have colluded with the cia to enable the program? >> we have all been wondering about that. the american psychological association has deep lo

health professionals have no role in interrogations. there is the line from the famous e-mail out of guantÁnamo, if a detainee dies, you're doing it wrong. right now, it is a time for the associations to step up and go, in the case of the ama, one step further and say, this means to be encoded in u.s. federal statute. >> you spoke to a contractor who was involved in the cia interrogations. who was he and what did he tell you? >> in 2006, received a phone call from scott identified himself as a cia contractor who said he was at guantÁnamo in the summer 2006 and was installing cameras as part of detecting deception during interrogations at guantÁnamo bay. he then proceeded to go into detail about the office of medical services evaluation. a ciad it was in inspector general report. i did not speak to him other than one or two times after that. i found out in 2009, he had passed away in a traffic accident. once i learned he had died, i groupnd contacted a through the department of justice and met with assistant . attorneys that he needed to

i think they are roles that somebody will have to play in the process.

we adjourn here is that this subcommittee and full committee bipartisan way have concerns about the role mr. plays in continuing these continual large-scale recalls and i hope that nhtsa will fully cost free with the gao is gao carries out the bipartisan request to look at these internal procedures and processes. >> mr. chairman we will definitely corporate and i look forward to working with the committee in ways that nhtsa can get additional tools to do the best job for the american public. >> very good. >> mr. chairman? >> the gentleman from maryland. >> i want to take vacation to thank the chairman for his service on this committee and in this house. we appreciated his leadership and wish them well. >> thank you. i appreciate that. we are adjourned. yes. thank you. >> thank you. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> the committee will come to order. today we'll hear from individuals nominated by the present to fill three positions critical to transportation safety and policy. we have mr. carlos monje, to serve as assistant secretary for polic

she has a role. if she's president, she's untouchable and safe. that could be the long-term plan of mugabe. >> seven other government ministers and the deputy imagine mujura has been dismissed, what does this mean for his party and the opposition now? >> it means that possibly the time is fractured. i don't think you'll see the party splitting into two or three formations. there'll be more sfactions. the people being -- factions. the people being dismissed are angry. they have been loyal to the party, and the way they are treated is very, very bad. the opposition is trying to capitalize on this, saying that if anyone is unhappy what is happening, they are free to join us, and challenge mugabe. what you see now is zanu pf has strong gains. he sent a clear message. if you mess with me or my wife, this is what happens, what happened to vice president imagine mujura. it is clear that mugabe is in charge of the party and the country. >> thank you for that. that is our correspondent joining us from the lisa zimmermann capital >>> now, a new law has come

the hardliners inside iran certainly play a role. the supreme leader has certainly played a role. he has been an anchor on one side. i really do believe in negotiators believe congress has thus far been constructive. they sometimes don't like the input, but when they get to the negotiating table, they talk with officials. we've got folks back home that have tremendous distrust and are concerned. the art of this is figuring out an appropriate way for congress to weigh in. at the same time, there is concern administration wants a deal. some would say really wants a deal maybe at the expense of something that causes us to be in a sound position relative to iran. i think there is a bipartisan, constructive role that could be played. that is what we will be seeking out. >> the house intelligence committee issued yet another report on benghazi. should the next congress continue to find out what happened in benghazi? or do we know enough now? >> the intelligence committee has issued a report. i think the armed services committee has issued a report. i think the focus has swung around to

she was the rocket fuel we needed. >> the role of the director? x i had met ada -- >> i had met ava on a film we did. a beautiful film. i sat down next to a stranger on a plane who happened to be watching a show i did on his ipod. he turned to me and said, is this you? it is a loaded question. i said, let me read the script. i read the script on the way back from l.a.. i was blown away by the writing. the title of the script, her name and number all that was on their. -- on there. i want to be in this movie. we do the film together, she has a directorial voice like no one i have encountered. >> what is the voice? >> she minds humanity from characters pretty much like no one else i have worked with. she is more interested in silences then she is words. she is interested in words, but there is something she does, something so brave about what she does off the line as well as on the line. true acting is reacting. i saw her get things out of me that i did not know were in there. what i could not afford to do is further accentuate what we already know.

this plays a role. jacobs is someone for whom jacobs plays a key role.or us we know the literacy is of extraordinary consequence. we have not only her narrative in the life of a slave i girl. we have her correspondence over many years. we are able to recover in a sense a kind of nuance, interiority that eludes us in celia's case in part because celia is at a distance from writing. her testimony or confession. we recognize that this text has come through some very complex channels before it arrives to us. celia narrates a story. a justice of the peace listens to the story. writes his own interpretation if you will of her words. then celia signs with an x. we are right to be skeptical about this sort of artifact because we know celia herself could not read and review the document. even as the x suggests she somehow assented to its content. literacy is an important piece. a number of you mentioned isolation. here isolation in celia's story takes a number of oh forms, doesn't it? on the one hand, we could contrast her experience with that of jacobs who lives

i think there is a role that could be played. that is what we will be seeking out. >> the house intelligence committee issued yet another report on benghazi. should the next congress continue to find out what happened in benghazi? or do we know enough now? >> the intelligence committee has issued a report. i think the armed services committee has issued a report. i think the focus has swung around to the state department, which is the area -- i had a discussion the last couple of days. this issue has come up. there are some who are talking about a select committee. i'm still looking at that and trying to discern what is best. i have to tell you -- i think the thing that is true -- there were security lapses. there were cables from our ambassador seeking additional security. there is legitimate concern. how could this have occurred? how could missions like this that we know aren't safe, how could this be overlooked? there are many issues of people saying this was about budget. that drives me crazy. the defense department was suppl

so i think there are clear roles and responsibilities for the military, clear roles and responsibilities for the intelligence community and others. i think there is a value they are to keeping those roles and responsibilities clear and there are certainly conflict. we all work together. particularly since 9/11 the interagency has gotten good at working together but i don't see any need to merge those. when the military at react under the law of armed conflict and under title x our domestic law. we do things a certain way required by law and i think mergers might not recognize those critical distinctions. yes sir. >> thank you. the last time i looked i understood the law and war applied if and only if the combatants were recognized as such and that is one party takes off their uniform or does not put one on. they forfeit their rights under the geneva convention and generally under the laws of war. is that still the case? >> it actually never was and that some of the mythos of the geneva conventions and the customary international law and armed conflict. the first thing is we have the law

but it's clear, there's a role.n she said, struck with the right hand on the right side of his head, i asked her if she did not know, that she could not have struck him as she said and if george had not struck the old man from behind, she said he did not, that he knew nothing about it and was not there at the time. so again, jones has pressed this theory that george has a role and celia remains consistent throughout the many opportunities that she has to tell her own stoirksry, she remains resolute that george did not have a role. so when i look back on this testimony and i ask myself, why do i have why am i still have questions about george? i think there's no fact more familiar you'll tell me if this is true for you there's no fact that's more provocative than that one in which we learn that jones tells celia that george has run off. did you have a reaction to this notion that george has apparently, according to jones run off? how should we or how might we interpret george's running off at this juncture? and why d

forces there as they draw down and transition from a combat role to an advise-and-assist role for afghan forces there. that said, there are going to be more u.s. troops in afghanistan as of 2015 then under the original plan. in fact, a thousand more troops. secretary hagel announced 10,800 instead of the 9,800 originally planned because, as secretary hagel told us as we spoke, afghanistan remains a very dangerous place. this is chuck hagel's fourth trip to afghanistan but his last as secretary of defense. we travelled with him to a tactical base in eastern afghanistan where he met with troops, sharing his own

wondering on any role that the u.s.ay have played regarding the changing nature of artillery use in world war i. whether -- >> go ahead, mr. craig, on naval use of artillery and its influence. >> yeah. i'm sorry. the viewer has stumped me. i'm not a military historian, so i'm not familiar with that issue and would hesitate to comment on it. >> well, in talking about josephus daniels, want to also talk about his relationship and his mentoring of franklin d. roosevelt and how that relationship started. >> well, it's interesting. daniels thought that, to give the viewers a background, daniels named a young franklin roosevelt as his assistant secretary of the navy from the outset of the wilson administration in the spring of 1913, and daniels thought that it would be a real public relations coup for the administration to bring young fdr into the cabinet, and, of course, his distant cousin ex-president and a republican and had just in the recent 1912 campaign run on the bull moose ticket as an opponent of woodrow wilson's. s

i strongly believe that the united states must take a leadership role in these disputes and work to support a peaceful collaboration to these issues. the resolution takes a step in the right direction. we cannot accept unilateral action by any of the countries involved in these disputes as it it further degrades security in the region. here is a clear example of congress supporting the united states role in the rebalance to the asia-pacific region. in particular, we cannot allow

others believe the government should play an activist role. as the citizens of california demonstrated the public will decide. economist richard gill offers a commentary on how the government's role in the economy is determined. the sharp controversies over propositions 13 and 9 in california suggest that people differ intensely about how deeply the government should involve itself in the economy. this is understandable since there is usually a difficult tradeoff involved. the more public goods we have, the fewer private goods. the more we redistribute income to the needy, the greater the disincentives for the productive. but the tax revolt across the nation in thely 1980s raised the question of whether federal state, and local governments accurately represented tthe people's will in this matter. the government was pictured by the tax cutters as an independent organism with strong drives of its own-- drives in one direction only-- expansion. the feeling that government spending was inefficient and getting out of hand was as much a political as

. >> colleagues any discussion on this item or do we need a role call vote? supervisor campos. >> thank you this is an item that came before the budget and finance committee and it's a contract at the airport i raised concerns at the budget committee and so we'll be voting against that today. thank you. >> all right. any further comments? seeing none same house -- oh, roll call vote madam clerk. >> tang aye weiner aye yee aye supervisor avalos avalos no supervisor breed aye supervisor campos no, supervisor cohen aye supervisor farrell aye supervisor kim kim aye supervisor mar aye. mar aye. >> there are 8 ayes and 2 2 2 noes. >> this resolution shall be adopted. >> item 23 a resolution for installation of subsurface tie backs at 923 if at 923 fulsom street development project. >> without objection this resolution is adopted. supervisor avalos. >> thank you madam clerk i'd like to rescind the vote on item number 7. >> all right colleagues without objection. seconded by supervisor farrell without objection. >> i have continued the items from the last reading jus

so their role is going to be a very big role.for example, in the united states for an investigation concerning a boeing. they are just a very huge part and investigations. frankly, they have to be. the ntsb in the u.s. doesn't even have that kind of personnel that could do that work. >> matthew, given everything that we know what's the likelihood that human error played a role here? >> it's likely it played a role. it's likely that weather played a role. it may be that a mechanical defect played a role. these things happen because you get a cancatenation of problems. it's not because you have a problem. i should add what airbus will do probably presuming they recover the black boxes is provide its interpretation of the crew conversations, of the mechanical inputs of the readings from the airplane. there will be a lot of others who do that also. these are multipart investigations with a lot of different parties who either arrive at a consensus or there's some authority that arrives at the consensus. that's how -- you don't let the

do we play that role? yes. but not always. we tend to not notice when we're not playing that role. and the example i would use is ukraine where it looks from over here, where this is a cold war-style dispute between american power and russian power, if you get to europe or you actually look at what's going on, you see that the dominant -- the interlocuter with russia and the country that really counts is germany and angela merkel. and sometimes people think here that she's too accommodating. germany has stepped up the sanctions. their own sanctions, slowly. when they do, putin notices. a we can't do this on our own, because actually our trade with russia is much less than germany's. i'm not saying that's a bad thing, but the truth is germany is has much more influence with russia than we do. and that gets to the question of whether we alone are as powerful as we are working with allies. so we can talk about, you know, stepping up sanctions against russia. but in fact we work with germany. and the larger point is that our alliances are the basis of our power, that if we get out too

i would expect france to take a role in this. the french bea will have a big role in the investigation more so than the ntsb which will participate only by invitation. >> even as this conversation expands, i imagine it re-energizes the conversation about some location device or system be on the pingers, this beacon on this black box. after 370 the search for that, i mean it took forever and still has not been located. >> right. you have made just an excellent point. we thought that the world would react and certainly the international aviation bodies and even the united states bodies would move to require that the planes have the capability or that we develop the capability, actually the capability is already there just that the airlines don't purchase it to have positive tracking and so that when you have something go wrong, the data from the black boxes or the information of the plane is on a continuous download. in other words you don't have to go searching in the seas for the black boxes you will know where the plane was and

and they wanted to play a more important role. and the economic dynamic in asia also made people to think about, talk about their asian century. at the same time, we have noticed that just now the assistant secretary directly discuss american power. america is still the most powerful country, but if you look at the u.s. foreign policy and compare it with the past, we will notice that the u.s. today is not so -- look the capacity to do whatever it wants to do as a deed 10 years ago or 20 years ago. what does that mean? that means that today's international system which is a bilateral system has lost its constraints and countries' behaviors? why testimony of such implication is a crisis, a small crisis exists around the globe. and at countries that could not find solutions together. in the past, big powers could coordinate to solve the problem very easily, but today with so many big powers, the countries need to thoesht negotiate to fi solution. this will slow down the process of a settlement of problems. and from a liberalist persp

what did he see his role in the world, to run the world? >> no, to have a germany in western europe, certainly, and also to extend the enlightenment. he believed in religious toleration and equality before the law and abolition of fuedalism and he extended them as far as he possibly could but that doesn't make him adolph hitler. >> charlie: by a long shot. do you ascribe to him this positive motive, the reason he was imperialistic was because he had some conviction that he was -- had given birth to and had marched on behalf of values that went beyond his own ego. >> and also beyond the borders of france, and they had to be extended. he believed in the enlightenment. he was the enlightenment on horseback. >> charlie: was he intellectual? >> yes, he was elected not just because he was a general but because he was interested in the thoughts underpinning the enlightenment and appreciated by gerter, hagel, carlisle and other independen intellectuals . he was a bona fide intellectual. he was a creator, a builder, somebody who brings 42 legal code

so i think there's -- there's clear roles and responsibleties for the military, clear roles and responsibleties for the intelligence community and others. and i think there's a value there to keep in those roles and responsibleties careerer. and there are certainly times when we all work together. the interange e agency, plr e particularly since 9/ 11 has gotten very, very good at working together. but i don't see a need to merge those. when the military acts, we act under the law of our conneflict under hitle ten of domestic law. mergers might not guilrez e rer those critical distinctions. >> thank you. >> i understood the law in the war apply if and only if the combatants were recognized as such. that is if one party either takes off their uniform or does not put one on, they forfeit their rights under the geneva convention and generally understood the laws of war. is that still the case? well, it actually never was. that's some of the mythos of the geneva conventions. the first thing is we have the law of armed conflict governs our actions. we were in international armed conflict and non-int

as i mentioned, the importance of the embassy's role. my case i found strong embassies were critical. but in some cases, those offices don't pay enough attention, and second, resources are helpful. they were helpful in my case. but i found we also strayed into areas that were better done by usaid. and that we sometimes didn't lack the oversight for running projects in the field from washington. so i think there are pluses to that kind of an office but there are warnings, as well. >> why don't we shift to you and get some reaction to the report and a little bit of your experience on how we might carry it out. >> sure. first of all, this is a very important report. and i want to commend them giving us something to work with that's now organized and very well structured. it raises the issues that need to be thought about, and in a sense can provide a guide path for an administration thinking about deploying an envoy. what it also needs to do, however, is to stimulate case studies. what we've had today, even, are two examples of successful e

and he plays a prominent role in how her career ends. yeah, up to this point in the story, there's so many women who come to congress through that connection to their husband, through some kind of familiar connection and coya knutson is a story loses her congressional career because of that familiar connection. she came up through the -- first of all, she is from -- she represented a district in minnesota for two terms but she came up through the democratic farmer labor party in minnesota. and that's how she got her political start. she served in the minnesota house of representatives and had a very promising mitt cal career. in 1954, she decides to run for a u.s. house seat and she goes against the wishes of democratic farmer labor leaders who are not happy with the fact that she doesn't want to stay in the state house of representatives. so she has to fund her own political campaign and she does so. she wins election. her husband, andy, at this point, and this was a strained marriage to begin with, he grows jealous of her political suc

she took on an advocacy role.this portrait of her is a few ways, a traditional congressional portrait. it highlights the figure, the subject, but the capital is present, too. so you know where she is. but it makes the capitol smaller than her stature nationally. she was taking on those roles. and also it is a very assertive portrait. she is looking at the viewer, and she is gesturing to the viewer. in order to do that, we saw out -- sought out artists we felt could tell a story very quickly. and that included children's book illustrators. this portrait was done by on nationally and internationally award-winning children's book illustrator. interestingly, it is become one of the portraits that is the most loved by children who visit the capitol. they immediately can see what is going on. and it is a piece of history that is a great thing for kids to hear and ft. worth guides to be telling when they bring -- for toward guys to be telling when they bring kids around. >> one of the things that is happening with shirle

this book argues the naacp plays a pivotal role in the federal court power and criminal procedure and subsequently in civil rights in civil rights by helping the supreme court wrestle away jurisdiction for state courts in the 20th century. what i would argue is that kind of conceive of making his work as a kind of deeply archival projects that in mind that the historian linda komar's recent work access a radical reframing tulia logically to start earlier. in acting as a counterbalance the civil rights only the 1960s and 1970s. that is something makeable talk more about in her talk. she is currently on work in a second book project that examines the rule of the criminal justice system and rebuilding a southern political and economic power after the civil war. on a personal level i have no i have known they can from us 15 years, which seems really shocking to say. we graduated from rice together. after a few years on opposite sides of the campus. we worked alongside each other in various facets of student activism including campus recruitment and retention, campus programming, algae btu

so, the wall played its historic role. it's like with surgery, you are getting a scar, don't like the scar, but you have to accept it because it saves your soul and your body. >> mr. ambassador, you praised the reaction by president bush. senate liters, mitchell and dole, have said that these events signal the end of communism. are they accurate? >> um, i certainly have heard such comments. and such predictions are not new to me. i remember when the gdr was founded after the foundation of the republic in '49. i was at that time 21 years old, so i still remember the time it was sad this entirety is not livable. no heavy industry, one and a half year and it will be over. nen came the events of '53 the june events, you remember? you know? at the same, it is over for socialism. then when we suffered, signing and considerable economic damage, the '60s, the wall was built, it was that the wall was a sign of the catastrophe and of the failure of socialism. and so we are hearing again. we are not surprised. we are all human beings

too where my mother put aside her art career and gracefully while not so dutifully pulled off the role of white house wife. she hated the rules of the washington social bubble but thrived regardless as my father's chief adviser. and my dad will now concede he didn't follow all the rules of the west wing either. so let me ask you about the energy crisis, i think we had cars lined up at gas stations and the white house had a policy at what level the air conditioners could be at. would you like to come clean? >> yes. okay. i'll make a public confession. >> please. >> the president said the air conditioning, the units that activate them, the thermostats at 80. air conditioning couldn't go on until the temperature in the room crossed 80. so, of course, i respected the president's decision. but i merely placed a lamp on a little table underneath the thermostat which i turned on because it helped me read my materials sitting near there. and, of course, since the lamp created heat therefore in my room the thermostat was activated at 80 but 80 was reached somewhat earlier than was the case. >>

the role marks her first return to broadway in 25 years.o very pleased to have patricia clarkson back at this table. welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> rose: nice to have you here. >> i'm so happy to be here. >> rose: i loved the elephant man. and you are magnificent, so was bradley and so was the rest of the cast. these were really terrific cast they put together. before that, why has it taken so you long to come back to broadway? >> many reasons you know i blame it on blanch dubois. i did that ten years ago at the kennedy center. blanche is so decomplete-- depleting it's so soul sucking and so it's such a massive undertaking that it just kind of left me in a different place. you never quite recover anyone who has ever played blanche will till, you never-- so i just was left in a different place and feeling about the theatre that i needed to just take a break. and i was doing all these film fortunately. i'm very thankful. and so i kind of got caught up in that. and then the wonderful extraordinary bradley cooper i met him at a premier it w

unsought role as peace maker. and michael saying brat is the only player who still has credibility with both sides. what are your thoughts. >> his role he's not the man in the middle, he's the police commissioner. one thing he wants to do is keep his job. he lost his job once when he had a bad run in with mayor yooror yooror yooror yooror yooror yooror yooror guiliani. >> he is trying to keep people say. he's done a remarkable job of trying to balance risk and lowering crime. the sad thing is before the announcement of the garner case it was said that crime was low. the basic founding principal to that was that black lives matter. you have to treat crime as seriously in poor neighborhoods as you do in better off neighborhoods and that principal got lost along the way and hard feelings developed. >> that's a good historical perspective. even i forgot about it. and we were both at the daily news at the time. >> they used to have misdemeanor homicides, there were so many murders in brooklyn. now the barclays center i

and there is the ethical problem coming in when the roles are not exposed.en someone is testifying or a public committee and using the more neutral prestigious part of the think tank without disclosing the corporate role. and so i think the reason i agree with both of you is because what you are suggesting as a step to the naming and shaming is a depth to addressing the more structural and systemic correction at the caveat to that potentially is that shaming doesn't always work, but that as has been pointed out, i think that depends upon something to do with the nature of the network. >> you say the economy dozen give a darn and they are going to do it anyway, but that is the way that it is seen. and that is the more general point. this is in our own field and there are other academics to do consulting and they say that that is outrageous, you are behaving unethically. and then you would say to you invoke this theory as to why you would create the wrong influence. but the point is that it doesn't engage at the same place of shame that might engage when someo

do we play that role? yes. but not always. we tend to not notice when we're not playing that role. and the example i would use is ukraine where it looks from over here, where this is a cold war-style dispute between american power and russian power, if you get to europe or you actually look at what's going on, you see that the dominant -- the interlocuter with russia and the country that really counts is germany and angela merkel. and sometimes people think here that she's too accommodating. germany has stepped up the sanctions. their own sanctions, slowly. when they do, putin notices. we can't do this on our own, because actually our trade with russia is much less than germany's. i'm not saying that's a bad thing, but the truth is germany is has much more influence with russia than we do. and that gets to the question of whether we alone are as powerful as we are working with allies. so we can talk about, you know, stepping up sanctions against russia. but in fact we work with germany. and the larger point is that our alliances are the basis of our power, that if we get out too fa
