emory's piece initiated popular concern as well. the editor of a bay area newspaper sent the reporter to the san francisco public library and when the reporter came up dry initiated a series in which hundreds of readers sent in definitions or in some cases mocked the whole effort. a nationwide hunt is on for the definition of free enterprise. "it is revealed that it is not in -- [laughter] many advocates suggested renaming free enterprise or not worrying about the definition as the message of the ad campaign of the early 1950's suggested which says that the name does not matter, only the meaning. you cannot really see the text here but the basic message is we know what it means so let us not fuss too much about the definition. my favorite moment in this quandary about definitions was one henry wriston father of walter who became reagan's secretary of the treasury said that free enterprise is a subject upon, which definitions are voided, everybody can agree.

. >> so, a professor at emory university school of medicine called your findings encouraging. but says there's significant bias in the results, saying schools that choose to report are often those not only that are tracking carefully, have mitigation strategies and plans, but probably have better outcomes. so emily, covid data from schools, it really has not been -- it's been a little bit inconsistent, i guess, i should say. some states like florida don't release school numbers. so i guess how do you respond to this comment? >> so, i think it's absolutely right that our data would be better if there were more of it and we're continuing to enroll schools and we're hoping to enroll whole states and to improve that aspect of the data but i will say i think that our data is very consistent with what we're seeing from a lot of other places, even with the reporting is a bit different, small numbers of cases in individual schools, not really large outbreaks. more needs to be done. and i think we also need to understand better the patterns of mitigation that are contributing to these

this year's bay area festival congressman barbara lee of california discussed voter suppression with emory university professor carol anderson. here's a portion of that talk. >> the vitriol that rained down on obama, the obstruction those folks in this community. this one does not get them, this one will. >> that is right. so the weight purges work, the way that gerrymandering works. the way that you will have, as you describe black and brown precincts they have fewer operational voting machines and fewer poll workers. so lines will stretch for hours where as basically in white communities, get in and get out. what we know from working class community, which again demographically, black voters most often are. brown voters most often are. what you don't have is a combination of time and money. so when you have to stand in line for five to seven hours to vote, you have lost a day of pa pay. student to watch the rest of this program visit our website booktv.org. >> you are watching book tv on cspan2. television for serious readers. here are some programs to watch out for tonight, former sec.
