and we need to look at the biggest and most pressing issue, how students afford to live at universityversity fees... is this the main problem? that they don't have, particularly if you don't come from a family when your parents can subsidise you, is that the main problem? that the loans are simply not sufficient? certainly the biggest people spot chilly talk to me about. those on the lowest incomes get full loans and those highest incomes can afford it but it is those in the middle. we have a hidden parental contribution system, you are assessed how much of a loan you are assessed how much of a loan you get based on parental income. quite self—evidently consistent set of pa rents quite self—evidently consistent set of parents to fill the gap, it's not written on your loan form, i asked the former universities minister to change it, they said no, with a rather spurious answer. worse than that, if you have two children going to university at the same time, it's not taken into account parents and we don't have the money, students can't force them to pay up and across the board we have al

to the swearing in the press a lot of people felt quite deflated by the university leadership of the move to get together at this crucial time. and so i think a lot of people want war now so i think we're in a position. where the world is feeling a bit the flayed because of the failure of the leadership to get together and yet you're speaking out in the streets and perhaps a more organic fashion. sometimes the latest news looks like nothing new when the british magazine the economists recently ran a front cover showing a russian president vladimir putin as a meddling octopus attacking western democracies and was harking back to a tried and tested formula. what's more striking that liberals have been using the putin as a soviet menace trope for a full decade well that they've been using russia is not to put a full century. western depictions down to scream between the demon aggressive briery and two nations while the octopus. picture needs revising should show us as a giant squid russia as a tiny little octopus we did titled biased q how do you know and it states many rows democracies

southern history and advisor editor for the civil war monitor magazine and coeditor of the university of georgia press is on civil war series. her current book project -- of the manyy thousands of men and women and children who fled slavery during the civil war and examined how their day to day experiences shaped the way emancipation unfolded in the united states. book derived from her dissertation provided family in the civil war. in 2005.published that book is the topic of her program today. i present to you dr. amy morel taylor. >> it is indeed a real pleasure to be back here in virginia, where much of my research and interest in this history was ignited. i want to start today with this image. i think i'm not the only one out takes a specific book, a specific moment, a teacher, may be a story that first ignited our interest in this history. booke part of me was this that part of my interest was this book. in 1887.blished a pectoral book of anecdotes and incidents. it looked old, therefore looked kind of cool on the shelf. occasionally i would find myself in moments of boredom, picking it up. and st

press club in washington, d.c.. if you want to watch this online, go to booktv.org. >> standing on the campus of liberty university where up next is professor ron miller on his book "sellout." when you and i spoke on the phone to book this interview, you said that since moving to lynchburg, the perspective had changed. can you explain that? >> when i wrote the book i was on the outskirts of washington, d.c., and the center cover that has an influence on the perspective and view of things and i was politically active at the time so all of those things made the book not only a memoir explanation of how someone could grow up in a family and cited with very conservative values and then end up becoming politically conservative. coming into the present situation of lynchburg, it is an academic perspective and since it is a private christian institution, the logical perspective came up to play as well. i think a lot of the issues that i talk about in the book were political solutions that look to more spiritual solutions. particularly since the community that i don't live here but just liberty university that lynchburg has giv

teach at rice university students always want to hear about jack kennedy the fascination dominates so much of the national sense like 911 like pearl harbor. but he was part of the modern press conference and great at making speeches. he delivered not just the inaugural but an amazing speech in berlin or the american university speech of the test ban treaty. about putting a man on the moon. in oratory he lives on in our minds and he got us through the cuban missile crisis and he created institutions kennedy did the peace corps but also the green beret and also the person who organized the modern navy seals. so he has fans if you look at public opinion polls, he is ranked really high if you get two guys like here maybe he is more the middle we only have 1000 days to judge him on if he had not one in 64 he could have lost. i think he would have beaten goldwater but you don't know because they were getting angry over james meredith. it would have been an interesting election but the last dance is one for the agency. >> i think he has dropped he was at stratospheric heights i do think he has dwindled in the professional rankings and popular. twenty or 30 years ago you could.turn
