that is not at all strauss. in terms of the goal it is really greater social justice for equality, but with a great deal of caution about how we get there and what other values we might end up sacrificing to get there. that is a position that's very characteristic of a lot of people who would call themselves liberals today. we don't want to get rid of the market. there's some people who think we need to radically invent all the institutions of capitalism. i respect those views. my view is that we need some of those in the two shins and therefore we need a sickly to be able to live with a certain amount of social inequality, which is the inevitable result of those institutions. i would like to reduce it to smart social policies. smart tax policies, smart redistricting policies. i don't see that as very different from the spirit of strauss' own thinking on these kinds of questions. >> twice they argue talked about other social values that would be diminished a life saved by the right. what were you referring to? g

the brooklyn da, who you met since hearing the strauss-kahn case.oes he have the same position you do? >> he does. >> same position on marijuana? has he gone further and say we will not prosecute? >> what -- one of the reasons i did not adopt the position which was he was the first to say i am not going to prosecute these cases. >> for the possession of so much marijuana? >> i have taken the position we should decriminalize. the state had not done it. i felt my job was to get the police department to get on board so there will be a five-county solution to the problem. ultimately, those five counties came together and we are no longer prosecuting these low-level possession cases. that is because through mr. bradshaw met with us and we finally figured that out and that is not a problem. i do not think -- i do not think we need to have it as a crime. and i think the legislation -- >> reflected in the legal system as well. our gangs a big deal in new york? -- are gains a big deal in new york? i mean organized crime. >> used -- youth gangs. i started 2 t

and then strauss-kahn was arrested, indicted. >> rose: when did you first know he had been arrested? >> i knew probably within an hour or so. >> rose: that he was arrested. >> i didn't-- to be honest with you, it wasn't-- . >> rose: we have taken him off district attorney we have taken him off a plane and we have taken him. and we have -- >> yeah he is in prison. >> are he is in custody. >> but there were folks who were very critical and i come to understand that that is their job. that's okay. and what i-- i really felt though very comfortable in my first term. win or lose for running again. i felt that what the office was doing in terms of modernizing the office, doing powerful prosecutions, including sex crimes is very cutting edge meth of going after gangs and drugs we're doing well but there are those cases that simply captivate and run off. and this was one of them. >> for a moment it did captivate. i think it was tabloid heaven. the so-called you know the french got very up set about this. because they thought that you know, the press was convicting him beforehand. and the wal

in our book photographer roger strauss that i visit the shakers of south union kentucky. we were drawn there in part by the diary that nancy moore kept for 1088 days in the civil war. her daily journal made it possible to make her a character in the story. but so did her circumstances. kentucky of course was a border state south union, not far from bowling green was contested territory. optical terms what that meant was early in the war one day she woke up to find a colonel along with 86 of his cavalry men, had made camp on the shaker property. later in the war after the territory had changed hands of union soldiers felt himself to to induce provisions and livestock. though they were in the middle of the war like it or not. yet there were pacifists, sympathetic to the union, yet also celibate. these doubles there's actually reflect their asexuality. the left is for the sisters come the right is only for the brothers. meanwhile nancy recorded what she saw. she and her shake her family were caught in the middle, and i think stories like hers are an important part of underst

harry offfa a student of leo strauss, the political fill of fer and harry jaffa was a liberal republican supported charles percy who changed his mind in this period when the republican party was undergoing a revolution and jaffa sat in on the platform debate, and the word extremism came up. he said over and over again. so he wrote this speech for barry goldwater, and if you take it out of context if you just look at the words on the pain, what jaffa actually wrote was a defense of natural rights at the political fies ol' fer like leo strauss might express them. the difference was it came at the very supercharged political moment and it's the difference between philosophy and politics. as soon as the word extremism was presented as a virtue, at that moment the republican party became a different thing. >> and you cannot divorce it from the broader context. in 1964 we were less than two years away from having survived the cuban missile crisis. as the republicans met in san francisco there were searches going on in mississippi for murdered civil rights workers from the north. extremism was

unlike rand or friedman or high yak or kirk or strauss or go down the pantheon he founded no distinctive school of thought. he didn't have disciples or groupies either stylistically or substantively. i think, by the way, roger, you did him an insult by calling him a great political philosopher. that's really a way to insult a guy. [laughter] he's a political thinker which i think is of a higher and richer order. but there are no self-conscious burnhamians in the world though i do think you can make out the influence of his thought in a number of people and a number of ways and, in fact i'm going to present presently our moment in washington. he was, for the most part, nontheoretical. of that's the ore thick, he didn't care -- other thing, he didn't care much for political theory. unlike most schools of political thought, the conservative movement tends to be dominated by theorists of various kinds, but you wouldn't quite call him a strict empiricist. two things mark him out. one is his prose certainly never resembles the dry and dusty sometimes deathly dull prose of most social scientist

. >> i think your comment makes me think of a recent article by andrew sandoval strauss about latinourbanisms. i do think it is interesting. i think the earlier question about globalization brought this up for me, as well. the way in which -- certainly what is happening during the 1970's plays out differently in different part of the country, and also people are naming or labeling or trying to understand the set of changes that we can see much more clearly in retrospect. the idea of globalization and the idea of how cities might come back from some of the problems, the north and east of midwestern cities might come back from some of the problems that were especially pressing, we can see these things now in a way that people at the time were trying to understand, make sense of, and interpret. the whole framework of globalization or of a postindustrial economy or of gentrification and what that would mean and of new immigration flows and how those would change -- all of those are just coming into existence, and people are grappling to try to understand them. i guess that is one way of
