any answer isy, possible to question because as we have established, this abysmal logical crisis, this divorce from evidence, any conspiracy theory is possible. those conspiracy theories are increasingly going to make the government complicit. an excellent example of that is roswell. saucer crashesng in roswell in july, 1947. right on trend with the other ufo sightings. because it is surrounded by a wealth of other ufo sightings and because the air force pretty quickly the players the wreckage found in roswell to be that of a weather balloon, the media moves on. ufo --re hundred moore's more ufo sightings to report. it is not until the boom and ufo conspiracies and coming out of the late 1970's that roswell really regained attention in conspiracists circles. you can watch this and other american history programs on our website where all of our video is archived. history.www.c-span.org/ announcer: next on american history tv, conrad mallet, jr., remembers the 1967 detroit riot. he was a detroit free press paperboy and watched the riots unfold on the morning of july 23 and later became c

abysmal performance. is productivity developments in the advanced economics, that is the section. andmbination of technology advances in science and everything else, coupled with labor, we are seeing something in the second column, a number of potential explanations have been put forth for the abysmal p, thatance of pf there is a waiting -- i am out of time, i thank you for your service, you are doing a heck of a job. >> the time has expired and we recognize the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, chairman of the housing and insurance. >> thank you and welcome madam chair. my friends across the isle seem to be excited about lower unemployment. and an economy picking up. the stock market and 401(k)s are improving. they want to give you a lot of high-fives and backslapping. you get all the credit but what changes have you made since november 8 to kickstart this economy and make it grow that you are not doing before november 8? chair yellen: what changes have we made to kickstart the economy? >> yes. chair yellen: continued on the course of normalizing the path of monetary policies,

certainly saudi arabia has abysmal human right policies as american citizens being taken for no reasonr north korea. that should be a red line that we don't let them cross. it should be raised with severe consequences. in some time we should be considering military action to inflict pain on these nations for taking american citizens prisoners. >>> parents, we urge if your kids are going overseas, you will need to read the pamphlets. there's certain countries you don't even want to think about going to. you don't want to become a parent who are dealing with their son like warm briar. >> we will talk about the sickle-cell anemia. ♪ ♪ >>> frederick, is a ph.d with sincilo and company. he chairs an important foundation that has to do with sickle-cell amelia, where over 50,000 people have sickle-cell. and why is this one of the diseases that just can't really get any try of recognition as it deserves? >> two reasons, one i think it's a misunderstood disease. i keep arguing with my own people. i don't look at sickle-cell as a disease, it's just a different type of person with a different set

but when they're done under battlefield conditions, their track record is actually abysmal. reality is it's a very powerful radar system which the people object to because they don't want to be subjected to these powerful radar radiation. but in addition, it destabilizes. it's a radar system that's being used to surveil china, and the bottom line is it's a boondoggle for the weapons industry, which is making out with hundreds of billions of dollars on a weapons system that has an abysmal track record under real battlefield conditions. >> but look, south korea relies on the united states to help keep it safe. they want our protection. and so would you have us not implement something? i mean, what is the alternative? >> well, as is really clear from the lead-in to our segment here, this system of attempting to coerce north korea is not working. and we're having sort of a tradeoff now of provocations between south korea and the united states versus north korea. in particular what north korea has a problem with are these war exercises which are basically bombing runs. they are m

during the start of the illegal war against iraq they were their road record their track history is abysmal i mean catastrophic the body count is high the prestigious loss is enormous and the drain on the treasury is almost hard to imagine but michael they're still in business how does a track record to fail you keep you on the major networks on the cable stations and on the main opinion pages of the papers of record how do. that happen well in this town it's trying to remain relevant and i think that's what the neo cons of done by glomming on with the the hawkish liberals in this town and the by that i mean they they all supported hillary and certainly because they were very very anti trump it wasn't that they were so.

buy a comic abysmal through northern through suddenly we heard a huge explosion. it was very very loud. and then everyone started panicking we run away and the police and the army came la but we austin what was happening. because we didn't know we had people shouting and gunfire but we didn't see any telephone into god's across a. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for the attack. the assailants and several guards were killed. as afghan forces say embassy personnel were safely evacuated. kabul has seen a numbeber of deadly attacks in recent months. blamed on either the highest group or the taliban. these attacks have targeted government buildings as well as members of the shiite has our community. at least sixteen hundred civilians have died in the country. since the beginning of twenty seventeen. french governments announce plans to him too new reception centers for migrants in the north of the country they softer court ordered it to end the inhuman treatment of foreigners trying to reach the uk. because says the government must provide clean wate

a number of potential explanations have been put forth for the abysmal performance of t.f.p. that there's a waning -- oh, well -- i'm out of time. i thank you for your service. you're doing a heck of a job. thank you very much. ms. yellen: thank you. mr. hensarling: the time of the gentleman has expired. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, chairman of our housing and insurance subcommittee. mr. duffy: thank you, mr. chairman. welcome, madam chair. my friends across the aisle seem to be relatively excited about lower unemployment, an economy that's picking up. cited the stock market and people's 401-k's are improving, and they want to give you a a lot of high-fives and back slapping. you get all the credit. what changes have you made since november 8 to kick-start this economy and make it grow that you weren't doing before november 8? ms. yellen: what changes have we made to kick-start the economy? mr. duffy: yes. ms. yellen: we have continued on the course that we have been on normalization the path of monetary policy as the economy continues to

is abysmal. >> it's perfect. it's perfect. >> perfectly abysmal. i think that it reminds you of that american cartoon of charlie brown kicking the football, lucy holds in place for him and she just pull it is away every single time and he falls flat on his back every single time. i'm a little jaded on the negotiation method, unless there is some reality behind it in terms of, in terms of an approved military situation. something that would lead to you believe, north korea was now more serious. i tend to discount those. i think we should examine each one. look at the surrounding conditions. to see if something has changed. that would encourage us to do that. but i'm basically deeply skeptical about almost all of that. about all of them. >> i would only add two thoughts. one is, no mat weather we have and given the batting record for negotiating directly with the north, as you know a perfect 000, that we need to move forward and in consultation with our allies. specifically. and that it gets me back to if there's any possibility here, i think it is c

i wouldn't say really funny -- to read if he were other source document it would be more abysmal, goran -- gory violence, but this is an interesting humorous twist, which i thought added a lot. based on what she was seeing, she was still currently she took it pretty well. chiffon stance on it i thought. it was interesting, i was really surprised. should a good sense of humor about every thing. >> all right, good. ok. -- had on the mind that new readiness for her parents or unnecessarily -- the next generation, but she was writing it for an audience. she clearly wanted folks to read it and it for it to be entertaining. does weave in her own sense of humor throughout it as well. still out whether everybody laughs at it as much as they attempted to commemorate the 19th century people what. -- laughed. >> even though she only had a few days of training -- to have thele formal training at nurses had, the only experts in the room probably were the doctors and there were very few of them. the other part was when people are coming in, there was , even the mentioned doctors would say, i don't kn

thingsnd a lot of great that i think are worthwhile but a very, you, it's know, politically, it's like abysmal taste, they have their backwards like all and some aspects of it are hard to live with but i try to focus on the good things. i like the house and my friends and my dogs. mentioned politics. you're also well known because of the fact that you don't hide your politics? conor: sure, i'm the classic hearted liberal that everyone hates, you know. but no, i don't care. never felt like -- i don't think as an artist you should obligated to put your politics into your music but if compelled to, i just think people get a lot of grief, like, oh, it's the hollywood elite telling us what to do or telling us,usician what does his opinion matter? but i always felt like if you're artist, that doesn't mean you surrender your rights as a citizen and if you have a yourself, doxpress it, if you're compelled to. you don't have to but for me been times i was compelled to. charlie: some say these are the people showing up at town meetings and expressing their sharply taylorry swift -- conor: yeah, we need

it is at astronomically, i'm mixing it the metaphor, low, abysmally low numbers.ot a good strategy. it is not a good thing to ask them to walk the plank on. and i mean, you know, maybe the rules of politics don't apply anymore. i agree with you on that, given this president. but i think when you're talking about real people and not just political projections, when you are talking about potentially 32 million people losing their health care, that is not just a guess. that is real for them. >> you talked about the polling on obamacare versus the republicans' bill. listen to this because the president talks about obamacare. watch this. >> for the past 17 years, obamacare has wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent hard working americans. behind me today, we have real american families, great families. just spent a lot of time with them. who are suffering because seven years ago, a small group of politicians and special interests in washington engineered a government takeover of health care. every pledge that washington democrats made to pass that bill turned out to be

so i think the budget that the president has submitted is abysmal. it assumes deep cuts to the medicaid program. it assumes repeal from the affordable care act. it's kind of saying the check's in the mail. but i'd like a budget that puts americans first, not political slogans first. but i want to follow up on something senator collins was saying about drug prices and creates act. all of us, i don't care republican or democrats from our state about the high cost of prescription drugs, i know some of the pharmaceutical companies have used inappropriate delay tactics to limit the ability to generic competitors to enter the market. some won't give the generics the samples needed for testing. i propose a bill joined by republicans and democrats both here and the senate and the house, the creates act, which deter pharmaceutical companies from blocking cheaper generic alternatives. can you explain access to these samples, please, through market competition? >> well, the -- thanks for the question. the bottom line is that there's no question there are places

agree with you more, and most importantly, when there's a government program like obamacare that's an abysmalrom the beginning and as it's continued on, at some point in time, whether you are republican or democrat, failure is failure. it's got to be repealed and replaced. david: talk about tax reform, and frankly, i'm wary whether they're going to get something done because of the failure in health care. president told the "wall street journal" we could put up the quote, the people i care most about are the middle income people in the country, that's fine. he says they have gotten screwed, which i think is true. if there is upregard revision on taxes, it's going to be on the high-income people. the question is what he meant by upward revision. i can understand if tax rates come down and get rid of deductions, rich people could end up paying more. that's fine, the way it should be in simplification. if he's talking about raising the tax rates of the upper class, that could be disastrous, what would you think? >> it would be disastrous. i've ascribed to what jack kennedy had, ronald reagan had

it has been abysmal failure. the president will find out in due time.s wounds in south korea. hundreds of thousand of people killed or affect the by it directly. it is awful thing. they don't want a repeat. they have an interesting in wanting peace, very strong interest in wanting peace. history shows you can't do it. switching to iran for a moment because they're very similar. they're both nuclear threats. they both have a tendency to take americans hostage. we just had an american citizen sentenced to 10 years by the iranians. so they have a lot in common. here we're thinking about sort of solidifying the iranian deal, at least, recertifying it. what do you think about that? >> first of all the deal itself gave iran legitimacy on the world stage because they were negotiating with half a dozen world powers to get that deal. gave them some degree of legitmate sy inside of their own country. this regime is pariah to many people inside iran. on face of that is disturbing. the deal also, this is what iranians wanted so desperately, gave them a windfall of

using words like freedom, choice, and opportunity to try to convince the american people about their abysmal health care legislation. this is the same language that right-wing ideologues like the billionaire koch brothers use when they tried to discredit government programs and moved to privatize them. what the koch brothers mean by freedom is their own freedom. and by the way they are the second wealthiest family in america worth some $80 billion. what they mean by freedom is their own freedom to profit off of the misery of ordinary americans who rely on a wide variety of government programs that make life bearable, and in some cases even possible. now, i want to say a word about freedom. madam president, this is a 203-foot yacht. thithis is a yacht owned by the billionaire that costs about $90 million to purchase. now, like everybody else i think in this chamber, i think the american people, every american, should have the freedom to purchase this $90 million yacht. and i would urge all americans, go to the internet, find out where they yacht stores are, wherever they sell yachts can you g

part of it is that there is some improvement of the abysmal social conditions, new sanitation laws, tenant laws, the health code. that takes us into a progressive , a of the early 20th century more systematic, kind of merit-based government for jobs and so on. richard: did the confederates experience similar problems with the drafting soldiers? john: they actually instituted the draft first. i don't know of any big riots they had, but it was a problem. richard: i have a fun fact. union units from every seceded states except south carolina. the other 10 states had seceded, each of them had at least one unit in the union army. there was not the moonlight and magnolias. there was a lot of dissent in the south. are excepted from the confederate draft if you were a foreman on an estate with more than 20 slaves. how is that for classes from a nation -- class discrimination? richard: threats that were plaguing new york, how did they reverberate outside of manhattan? were smaller disturbances around new york. -- ost cases richard: worked there some in brooklyn? john: brooklyn, new jersey, long isl

one of the reasons why this bill has such an abysmal approval rating is because people know what it does and it doesn't do what the vice president said. >> we would like the vice president to come here to the situation room and defend this. he has an open invitation and has had for quite a while. thanks for being with us. >> thanks, wolf. >>> top members of the trump campaign team, democrats want jared kushner's security clearance revoke td because he didn't report sitting in on that meeting until recently. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. tech: when you schedule with safelite autoglass, you get a text when we're on our way. you can see exactly when we'll arrive. i'm micah with safelite. customer: thanks for coming, it's right over here. tech: giving you a few more minutes for what matters most. take care. kids singing: safelite® repair, safelite® replace. so, your new prescription does have oh, like what?ects. ♪ you're gonna have dizziness, nausea, a

the situation is abysmal on the ground.e as humanitarians are truly overwhelmed in trying to respond the best we can. juan: what has been the response of the western nations as well as of the arab countries of the region to this deepening catastrophe? >> we have been saying yemen is a forgotten crisis. at present, it is the largest you manager in crisis in the world based on the amount of people in need. there are about 20 million yemenis who require humanitarian assistance in the country. across the world, it receives very little attention in comparison. we have been calling for more support to urgently address humanitarian needs in yemen. at the same time, calling for more attention on the crisis. more attention on the human suffering and the people bearing the brunt of the conflict, which are civilians. yemen,ent, if we lookok at i is less than 35% fuunded. we doo r require urgent support. half a year is gone and we have many more humanitarian needs arising. amy: can you talk about the effects of u.s.-backed saudi bombin

all election night, the campaign was abysmal. >> 5:30 in the afternoon, there was a leak -- >> laura:ers did not. great to see you as always. attorney general jeff sessions is in el salvador. his deferment is targeting century city's back home. cap next he will take on a supporter of century cities and the rights of illegal immigrants. coming up. copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way" with anoro. ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators, that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma . it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder, or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye

collins said, president trump's legislative accomplishments are abysmal. a joke. >> congressman collinss also said no major complaints about trump in his district in western new york. you could draw a pretty straight line from his district to yours. and there are some things common between the two congressional districts. do you think the answer would be the same in your district as to the behavior thus far of the president? how is anxiety over health care for example. >> well there is a lot of anxiety about health care. there is a lot of anxiety about jobs, about what the future looks like, about whether kids are going to have a chance to have a decent life. you know, i will say this. the complaints aren't just about trump. i think president trump's failure is that he hasn't moved any sort of agenda. the russia piece that will take care of itself. i'm confident in mr. mueller. i'm confident in the committees investigating him. and the people back home feel that way too. they want to see that investigated. but they want us and they want the president to fo

the lakers record has been abysmal the last four years. could they make the playoffs because of this 19-year-old kid, lonzo ball, the number two overall pick has had a lot of hype to live up to, his brazen father lavar ball told the world his son would take the lakers to the playoffs. summer league mvp and led the lakers to become summer league were chas, even though he didn't play in the final, he had a calf injury. lakers beat the trailblazers in vegas 110-98 p 16 championships, wondering now is the hype real? >>> check this out, the astros laid a teammate's glove to rest at a mock funeral, three-time gold glove winner carlos beltran hasn't needed a glove in more than two months only used as a designated hitter. the players said "may that glove rest in peace." piece as in bye-bye to the baseball, a two-run home run once the game got started. astros still hold the best record in the american league. when you're in first place you can have some fun. >> he said "piece out." thanks so much, coy. >> very hip of you. >> i know, i'm jiggy. than

i think he did an abysmal job on one and a remarkable job on to. have 16% approval nobody in the senate likes it including the republicans. they all hate having to vote it and they still got 48 votes. that's kind of impressive. but the underlying problem is you have a chance to form healthcare. there are a lot of conservative ideas to reform healthcare and it was also promised. you can pick some things that a lot of people like. you can have catastrophic coverage for the 20 odd million people still uninsured after obamacare. you can offer a lot of things to a lot of people and do it in a conservative way. that's not what this republican party does, it just says we want to cut medicaid. they're unwilling to talk about anything positive though there are some things in the bill that look what can we take away from you and 9 poor and the needy and the children. it's a publicity and a substantive disaster area they're just trying to live it. >> sreenivasan: what is the president on this. >> it's mercurial. he said let obama tumble and burn. then the nex

people wanted to repeal this bill and i think that the -- because the politics are so absolutely abysmaln party, if they don't repeal and replace obamacare i think by the end of the year they will get it done, but guess what, nicolle, legislating is hard. and we ought to start doing it again. >> well, i think that most people on the hill that you and i both know think that the president's been pretty bizarre, not very constructive. but we're going to keep moving. >>> up next, an autocratic distraction. why the latest statements are straight from the playbook. so that's the idea. what do you think? hate to play devil's advocate but... i kind of feel like it's a game changer. i wouldn't go that far. are you there? he's probably on mute. yeah... gary won't like it. why? because he's gary. (phone ringing) what? keep going! yeah... (laughs) (voice on phone) it's not millennial enough. there are a lot of ways to say no. thank you so much. thank you! so we're doing it. yes! start saying yes to your company's best ideas. let us help with money and know-how, so you can get business done. american

people think that's been an abysmal response by the chinese in order to deal with north korea. you have to remember that north korea's top exporter and importer is china. with more than 80%. so when you take a broader step back, alex, with all of these meetings, and the question i think, the right question and the right theory about why the president has not been as forceful with vladimir putin and -- in terms of pressuring him for the factual meddling in the election, is that perhaps their behavior is unacceptable. >> the president tweeted the g-20 summit was a great success for the u.s. explained that the u.s. must fix the many bad trade deals it made will get done. also want to play what treasury secretary steve mnuchin told reporters on air force one yesterday about the trump meetings at the g-20 summit. >> i think that a major focus of the trip was not just participating in the g-20. they were very, very substantive bilats. these were not just relationship builders. they were very focused on economic issue, trade issues, security issues, north korea. >> so is the general c

. >> this has been an absolutely abysmal performance here.even years of saying they were going to do this. just give us the house. they get the house. give us the senate. they got the senate. gave us the white house. they got them all now. this is what's going on? this is atrocious political behavior here. and i just -- i just think they've lost their backbone here. >> and if the skinny bill does become law which we talked about how there is definitely a possibility that becomes law, there are so many awful quotes from today's press conference, democratic ad makers are already writing these ads. they're going to urge if republicans pass this bill or anything else that repeals and replaces obamacare that has millions of people losing their health care coverage, they're going to urge voters to go to the polls in november in 2018 and repeal and replace republicans. >> and the unwinding of it, the core of any insurance scheme, making sure anybody who needs to be in the fool is in the pool, once you do away with that, it will be so horrendously un

negotiations with eritrea and their record to negotiate once they have agreed to invigorate its is abysmal so to remind you of that charlie brown kicking of football so i am a little jaded and case there is a reality and something that would leave you to believe if it is now more serious. so i tend to discount those and i will examine each one to see if something that has changed but i m basically -- basically deeply skeptical. >> so giving up batting record with the perfect o o o to move forward with our allies specifically and gets back to if there is is any possibility, it is to create opportunities with china to have all of us move to something with north korea that is sewn up ahead of time and with china not sitting in the second row but meeting a set the table and that is the real ones is a peaceful outcome that is one but i tend to agree letter is based on the empirical data. >> [speaking in native tongue] translator: i did not understand the question now well unfortunately but with north korea but what has been continued with the crisis other things took place. and then to continue

things that, you know, i think are worthwhile but at its heart, it's a very, you know, politically, abysmal live with. i try to focus on the good things. i like my house, my friends and my dogs. >> you mentioned politics. are you also well-known because of the fact you don't hide your politics. >> sure, i'm the classic, you know, flaming, bleeding hearted liberal that everyone hates, you know. >> rose: yeah. >> but no, i don't care. i have never felt like, you know, i don't think as an artist you should feel obligated to put your politics in to your music. but if you, if you are compelled to, as a-- i think people get a lot of grief like oh, it's hollywood elite telling us to what to do, who is this music, what does his position matter, if you have a platform to express yourself, do it. if you are compelled to, you done have to but for me, there has been times where i was compelled to. >> rose: and some of those who said regardless of where their politics are, are the same team beginning to show up at town meetings and express their own opinions very sharply. >> yeah, and we need, i mean, w

over the white working-class and all the sudden the people who were denounced as too soft on concert abysm of a sudden were thrown under the bus for not throwing out reagan entirely and feeding into the populist tied so maybe the people might these other people to apply those reagan principles to contemporary problems rather than trying to replay that playbook over and over maybe we would have made lives better for the white working class there is all this talk just like it is going great for the black and hispanics. but maybe if we were allowed to do some of these innovations to make contemporary probably could have won over some of those people and not let them grow so frustrated that they go to the enterprise that has no serious connection to anything like mainstream conservatism and i will close with the .1 of the things and made reagan incredibly successful was the staff knew what the old man believed that is incredibly empowering to the bureaucracy. if you know, where he comes down you don't have to ask for permission to do with you can carry the ball for word pro more than anything

color in the entertainment industry towards increasing storyline development and hiring said the abysmal 2.5% representation on tv in 0.9% in film is change for disability in black communities. the foundation and the usc annenberg center 2016 have done studies with similar statistics according to the u.s. census 2016. 20% of the united states population are 50% are living with disability amongst the population are the most talented people on earth. one year ago, stephen connected me to the diversity team. did i ever thank you for that? i want to say thank you again. one year ago, stephen connected me to the diversity team which led to a successful roundtable on disability inclusion. it is my professional intent to ensure that when a highly talented actor with a disability is available for hire, whether able-bodied, character or disabled that they have an equal chance for higher. furthermore, i recognize an actor with a disability could have so many roles typically built a able-bodied actors. the decade of employment and equality must end. our csa national -- i'm sorry, csa national inclu

it is "abysmal performance." t is as to productivity and advance economic. andmmodation of technology advances in science and everything else coupled with somethingare seeing in the second column. a number of potential explanations have been put forth for the abysmal performance of tfp. i am out of time. i think you for your service. you are doing a heck of a job. thank you very much. chair yellen: thank you. >> time of the gentleman has expired. recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome, madam chair. my friend across the aisle seem to be relatively excited about lower unemployment, an economy that is picking up, the stock market and people's 401(k)s are improving. they want to give you a lot of high-fives and backslapping. you get all the credit. what changes have you made since november 8 to kickstart the economy, make it grow that you are not doing before november 8? chair yellen: what changes have we made to kickstart the economy? rep. duffy: yes. chair yellen: we have continued on the course we have been on of normaliz

you know, i've actually worked in north korea on more than one occasion and it is an abysmal, abysmalce. it's gotten worse than the fact taken over and not going to get better until this family is ultimately removed from power. which i think will happen sooner or later chinese trade with north korea has always been there. especially oil refined products going into north korea china has been helping -- i don't understand why china has been so slow to put pressure on north korea. i understand there are historical reasons why that's difficult. but this is not in china's interests what's happening right now. >> gordon, does china understand that >> no, i don't think they do i mean short-term, you know, they've been weaponizing north korea by transferring kwipt for their ballistic missile program, and probably technology for north korea's most advanced missiles there's also new cooperation which is really important to us. and so they're weaponizing north korea to destabilize south korea, japan, and us, and so i think the trump administration is starting to lose patience with this. you know

are entirelys press and the abysmal generated by student and faculty behavior such as we have heard here today. americans, thef face of american higher education has become that of universityick at the of missouri, of face contorted with anger, calling for force to , but it is ary pattern that has been repeated at yell, at claremont, at berkeley, at middlebury, and most recently added notre dame. -- recently at notre dame. it reinforces the perception that these institutions inhabit , kind of cloud cuckoo land that these colleges and universities have become lands of hoax, as in the example must in which all boundaries between reality and fantasy have disappeared. and yet, almost nothing happens to change this. tuitions continue to spiral ever upward, as do fees and room and board. there is a continued pressure and demand for access to these very same institutions generated by the perception that college is still the ticket, perhaps the only remaining ticket, to a middle-class success and comfort. and there is a diminishing sense of accountability, diminishing because for one thing colle
