eliot all reflect the rise of modernism in american poetry. one very quick example is william carlos williams, very famous poem "the red wheelbarrow," from 1923. i will go ahead and read all of it. here it comes. so much depends on a red wheelbarrow glazed with rainwater beside the white chickens. right? so much depends? what is going on here? williams does not say. if he is saying the little things matter, he is saying the little things matter, but grand ideas don't? it is not clear. and that is part of the point. another of the famous modernist poets was t.s. eliot. born in missouri, which he quickly left and spent most of his adult life in europe. one of his most famous poems, he implemented a recurring theme that basically says, we can't know what another person is actually saying or what they mean. so in this poem, one of his most famous, "the love song of j. alfred prufrock" -- the story, it appears, the rambling thoughts of the middle-aged man. this is the impression that his left. the opening lines are somewhat famous. it begins -- we

well, it's a great question, eliot. what a privilege it is to be here with you and at the international institute for strategic studies, an organization which i think makes tremendous contributions to international security and an institution that really benefited me tremendously in my two years in london which turned out to be about four months because i was mainly in iraq but had access to the scholars at the international center for strategic studies, toby dodge, others who really helped us tremendously in understanding how the conflict in iraq had evolved and to help refashion the strategy there in early 2007. so what a privilege it is to be here at the international institute for strategic studies and with you, eliot. though the army operating concept is important because it describes how army forces will have to operate in the future and i think one of the things we can do, even in times of diminished resources and budget constraints, is we can think clearly about future war and we need to maybe in particular base

eliot--next time on voices & visions.

speaker, and as my good friend eliot engel from new york explained last april we took a delegation to ukraine, not just to the western part of the country but most importantly we went to the east. we went as far east as we could go up against the border there and we had an opportunity to have a dialogue with the ukrainian people. and we reached out to civil society. we set up meetings with women's groups and lawyers groups and across the spectrum in eastern ukraine speaking to russian-speaking ukrainians, we got, i believe, a good idea of what was on their mind. i think there were about eight members of our delegation. and they were sharing with us these words, what putin is doing, what the russians are doing right now is going out on the internet and recruiting every skinhead and malcontent in the russian-speaking region they can find and then they train these young men and then they send them over the border to create mayhem and what we're trying to do here -- this was the explanation from the ukrainians -- we are trying to catch them. they speak a different accent than we do, so we

royce, the chairman of our committee on foreign affairs appreciates the ranking member, eliot engel of new york's leadership in support of the people of ukraine. last week, march 18, mr. speaker, marked the one-year anniversary of russian president vladimir putin's invasion and occupation of crimea. during the past year, rush has strengthened its -- russia has strengthened its hold over the peninsula, and increased its oppression of the minority tatar population and others who refuse to bend to their ockpigs. putin's success in ukraine emboldened him to expand into eastern ukraine. last weekend chairman royce led a delegation to ukraine and traveled to russia. the many ukrainians that ranking member engel and mr. royce met with wanted to be ukraine's and not separatists yet moscow move to supporting militant separatists in eastern ukraine. today the conflict in the east has resulted in over 6,000 deaths, at least 15,000 wounded, and more than one million displaced persons. this carnage is the work of the separatist forces controlled by moscow. which has supplied them with massive amoun

remember, there was all the about last week's level but this time democrats signed on board in fact eliot engel is one of the co-sponsors, a democrat from new york the majority of democrats in congress signed it they say congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb. i'm talking the treat wree, and only then will congress be able to consider permanent relief. >> well god bless elliott evening else, it means that he listened to bibi netanyahu's speech before congress and it actually affected him. look, i think what's going on is is that the u.s. state department thinks iran is an important ally not enemy, but ally in the war against isis it sees isis as the greater evil and it's worried about offending iran during this time. i think it's a colossal mistake to do that, as steve pointed out, but i think that's their motivation. >> again the question is trust. who you trust. last -- or was it friday night, i believe, it was, or thursday night, president obama gave a youtube address directly to the people of iran in which he suggested he believes them more than what

[applause] and margarita who has been sold eliot and. and tom allen is here. >> of course, it is dependent to read people's handwriting. but how do you bring that issue of voter suppression to the consciousness of the larger majority of american people? >> because it is concentrated against minorities this manipulate to the rules to make a harder. but african-american members of the house but they did that give a record of births to black people in the 20's or 30's. so you cut down it is us a terrible idea then facilitated them was made to me. in and but here they threw out passed congress because they didn't make the right judgment. it was a terrible thing. but what we have to do this environmentalist or defending medicare with you were legislators fighting climate change to protect medicare obese or supportive. but let me say this. could to be better intentioned i wish they would stop saying there is no point in voting their all bums there all corrupt there will never listen. and i have to say a politician in did something good. what's

realize when somebody's in the middle of something like this, you know i mean you can even look at eliotpitzer who is a guy that was just abused by the new york press, but he came close to winning his last election and his career may still not be over. >> well, eliot spitzer and hundreds, thousands of other people from coast to coast, what you realize is forgiveness is a stream that runs very wide in the american spirit. as long as you, you know focus on what you've done you admit to what you've done whatever it is but americans are very for forgiving. >> mark halperin? >> a lented guy who made mistakes. generally if you're talented and you stay at it you will do fine. >>> another story, more trouble on a college campus in the united states. an investigation is under way this morning into the apparent bloody arrest of a university of virginia student outside a bar. cellphone video shows the scene early wednesday morning when 20-year-old johnson was being arrested. the friend who shot the video says johnson was denied entry to the bar and then questioned by agents from the virginia alcoho

there is no way we have an 80% drop coming because the eliot rations were totally ridiculous but we haven't had a bear market in six years and typically that is a minimum of 30% and i think that is around the corner this year may be 2016 depending on more money printing. neil: there is a separate argument that the nasdaq is undervalued to get as 68 or 6900 to equal the year 2000. i could be wrong but that it isn't really that bad? >> i agree. understand what he says about market policy in fed policy driving up the market values but i don't think we are there because i still don't think they are in a place for money to go if you look at that many valuations if they spend an extra 500 million to them it is not that much as crazy as that sounds they have so much cash on their balance sheets to see them drive up to valuations that spend money to put it back into shareholder dividends because that means the leadership is not that creative. neil: thanks. in the meantime is this the one that is creating the bubble keeping interest rates this low? but jonathan says we need to worry when they start

if he doesn't fire with the bat, it's not the end of the world, because there's williamson, there's eliot, and others to do finishing job. anderson in the middle as well. it's a batting order not with the superstars we would associate with this australian team at the moment with the pure destruction of finch and warner and the classic, but it's whack a mole which one will have the biggest day and how are they going to combat that. >> our defending world champion hamilton set the fastest time in sunday for malaysian's grand prix. hamilton missed the first session and the start of the second with an engine problem, but still finished ahead of ferrari's kinney. and alonzo finished 17th. spaniard running his first race of the year after missing the australian grand prix on medical advice. he suffered a concussion in a pre-season crash. >>> in tennis, del potro is out. he's returning to competitive action for the first time since suffering a wrist injury in january and his rough game showed against the world's number 60. 2009 u.s. open champion losing the first set, 6-4, and the second on a ti

eliot spitzer ran for office. he didn't win, but did run. is there a future for him?the difference -- mark sanford did approach a comeback with humility. i think he still does more town has per capita on average than most members of congress. he's very aware of what he cost people. he also had a constituency, because he was an aggressively conservative governor, who thought the obama administration -- schock never built a constituency apart from appearing on television or panels. there won't be much appetite for him to return, though the whole attention reminds me of michael kinsley say the scandal is not what's legal -- he will have ruined his career over stupid spending, stuff that no other member of congress could have done. but this was doorstepped and investigated by reporters, you know rightly -- i'm glad he was caught for this, but we're going back to a normalcy in washington with a replacement for schock, where far more money is being wasted on official projects. this guy was just a lightweight and no one is really going to some is him. >> we'll see who gets t

what was interesting, when hank was ousted by eliot spitzer who forced the board to push him out becausege, came down to as much ado about nothing, almost none of the charges still exist. aig was led by martin sullivan who did not have the chops to run it. >> this guy did. >> it would have been great if ben took it over when hank left. he got it. >> he didn't take crap from anybody. >> didn't take crap from anybody. i don't think anybody could have run it as well as hafrpgnk did. >> he said i'm doing things my way. you're that way. >> it wasn't that easy to tell the federal government no at that point. infused a tremendous amount of cash to aig. >> has all that been paid back? >> a lot of it has. >> he pushed that? >> he pushed that. what he didn't do he didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater he. knew to pay people if you didn't pay the people, despite the fact that the company was bailed out, well i hate to say it, who knows what could have happened next. this is like dealing with nitroglycerin from a financial standpoint. that's what he was good at. the tragedy is that robert did

there's a quote on--i think, in the second or third page of the chapter where--from samuel eliot morison very famous harvard historian who's written a book "oxford history of the american people," published in 1965 still in print, still available in all leading bookstores. and what morison says is that--he asked the question, `was jefferson thinking of blacks when he wrote, "all men are created equal"? his subsequent career indicates that he did not, that blacks were not men.' now that is one of the most misleading statements ever written by a historian because in fact, as morison knew very well, jefferson, in the very draft of the declaration that he wrote that day, said--condemned the king of england for the institution of slavery and for preventing the states from ---doing something about the slave trade, and referred to blacks as men, and even put `men' in capital letters in his draft of the declaration. and so morison leaves the reader with the impression that this jefferson wasn't even thinking about blacks, whereas in reality he knew--or should have known, unless he was incompeten
