walter: yes.: so what happened to the 11th and 12 grade, you do not need that? weren't you kind of young to go to college? walter: i was 16 and i was part of a program. i was not the only one. i was in the third year of this experiment and there were about 15 of us in my group. and there had been some before, so the college had sort of adjusted to these young kids coming in who didn't have -- so we had good counselors, good teachers and evidentially, we were smart. i did not know it. we were able to not just survive, but we were out there with some of the most accomplished students in the college. david: ok, so you go to morehouse and decide you want to major in physics. so was that a very popular major at morehouse at the time? walter: i was the only physics major in the four years in my class. there was one before me and one before him. david: what did you tell your parents you wanted to be? a physics major, what did they say? david: my parents were very good. walter: my mother would've wanted m

barbara walters. tehran, 1977. i said, indeed, we work for the same company and gyptian said he wants to know, is it true she is paid $1,000,000 a month? and i said, well, actually i think it's $1,000,000 a year. and the drivers face fell. barbara walters was already a global icon. and then didn't it kind of propel her her career from that point on? isn't that a wonderful story? because how many journalists have had similar experiences to that? and, you know, one of them who did was walter cronkite. so walter cronkite was, of course, the leading anchor of the day and a figure of unquestioned authority. and someone who viewed barbara walters with a little bit of skepticism about whether she was a real journalist. and they were both trying to cover the groundbreaking things that were happening in the middle east, a groundbreaking trip of anwar sadat of egypt to israel. and it was barbara walters and her ability to cultivate relations with world leaders that a few months earlier in 1977 enabled her to get the first si

also when you watched it, walter cried. walter had tears. he was for so many of us, john, a member of the family. that's why people called him uncle walter. there was this wisdom about him and this great voice, and we felt that we knew him and that he knew us. now, we're in a different time, and there's nobody, although there are excellent anchors of course, there's nobody that had the command that walter had. first of all, television is much more fractionalized, there's no one person that has that much power, and we're more cynical, maybe more sophisticated. i think the sad thing about walter was that he left broadcasting too soon, and i think he regretted it. >> i think a lot of people share that feeling. you mentioned power. i was reading that a great many people urged him to take his fame and turn it into high political office and he never would do that because he understood that you can't use the power of journalism and take advantage of it in that way to then move to a political position where you try to ram your point across. >> well,

with walters and presidential leadership and walters and white nationalism, what walters sees is the fact that black politics and the way in which it moves from protests to politics, we have to remember, there is all kinds of grassroots insurgency happening in the 1980's and 1990's, and walters is connected but this is absolutely happening. but we are thinking about black politics as it is organized at an elite level, it goes from protests to policy. they are not organized. a congressman from michigan align himself. and this was not happening by the 1980's. walters says black politicians have to reach out to the grassroots. tries to connect this at a national black leadership roundtable, a national black faculty congress, all these things that are never well resourced enough to become institutionalized. comes to white nationalism, walters sees what butre experiencing today, when you think about whiteness as a socially-constructed postwar whiteness includes all sorts of previously marginalized white ethnics, people who could not be part of a white anglo-saxon protestant nation. walter

that's what walter's argues.lack people can't just say that because you like the first black president that there is no black agenda and to quote that walter said is that there are so enthralled that they let this one pass. they gave this brother a pass so he's speaking with black vernacular and gave your brother or sister a past and just because you're black this is fine. it's an in house deal. when we think about barack obama and black politics walter's pushback is not because obama wasn't trying to run as a black power, he realized that obama ways the black power sign at the democratic convention, if obama came out on the lawn with the malcolm x t-shirt, that these things would be politically disastrous. but i mean that obama was the black president and had to ignore a black agenda. i think that is fair criticism and is much different from other criticism that trying to attack obama for not just solely advocating which no president can do. although, one of the things that waters remind us is that you got ronal

so walters is a trailblazer. doesn't have a prescription on how to win, but he is saying, here are the problems. sometimes really illustrating what the problems are becomes a huge intervention. it becomes up to another generation to try to answer those questions, but that is what walters did. of ways, when we think i want to a moment switch, but with walters and presidential leadership and walters and white nationalism, what walters sees is the fact that black politics and the way in which it moves from protests to politics, we have to remember, there is all kinds of grassroots insurgency happening in the 1980's and 1990s. we aren't covering it here and walters is connected somewhat, but this is absolutely happening. but we are thinking about black politics as it is organized at an elite level, it goes from protests to policy. mobilizing demonstrations. in 1972 we saw a congressman from michigan align himself. and this was not happening by the 1980's. walters says black politicians have to reach out to the grassr

>> well, i think so much of barbara walters was shaped by her father, lou walters, one of the leading impressarios, he'd book the biggest acts in the country and was one of the top tourist destinations in new york when lou walters was in charge of it. lou walters was a guy who had a wonderful touch and understanding of what audiences wanted and that's an asset that she inherited from him, but he was also a gambler and he would make a million dollars and gamble it away playing begin rummy. >> literally gambling it away? >> literally gamble it away. he would make a million dollars at the latin quarter and decide he wanted to open a new nightclub and it would flop and he would be bankrupt. i think finally a pivot point in barbara walters's life came when she was 28 years old. she had gotten out of college, out of sarah lawrence, but she wasn't exactly on a career path. she had gotten married to a guy and gotten divorced. gone to alabama for a quickie divorce of dubious legality. and she had come back to new york and staying with a school friend and that her apartment, when her father att

>> walters: four. indicted three times by the attorney general's office in nevada for the same thing. i got indicted, went to court, it was thrown out. i got re-indicted for the same thing, went to court again, it was thrown out. got re-indicted again, went to court again-- finally, the third time, it was thrown out and that was the end of it. >> logan: none of the charges stuck, and walters went on to build his own betting business. he became better than the bookmakers at predicting which team would win and by what margin. that margin of victory is called the "spread" or the "line." now, your lines are often different from the bookmakers' lines. >> walters: yes, substantially. >> logan: what do you do, in that situation? >> walters: the bigger the difference between the lines, the bigger the discrepancy, the larger bet i make. >> logan: what's unique about walters is that, when he doesn't like the line, he can sometimes force the bookmakers to change it. >> walters: we're going to work on this a littl

walter: that is correct.avid: why did you take that position? it's a good job. did you want to be the head of a major university? walter: i did by that time. through my transition from doing physics to administering science at argonne, and then as i began to see that i had a knack for -- how should i say, running organizations. and people liked working for me. and i liked working with people and i saw that i could get things done in the areas that i cared about. science, education, science for underrepresented groups. these kinds of things that i could not do as an individual scientists. david: all right, so you took the position, you are the number two position in all of the diversity of california system, may be the leading public education system in the united states, higher education. and if so, you have a chance to be the chancellor or over all head of the university of california system if usa there for another year or two. and all of a sudden, your alma mater comes calling, morehouse, they say come bac
