the problem, the thematic providence of this novel, and something about adam and turn it over to adamit is a novel of segregation in america. comes out in 52, the principle is prophetic. there's a foretelling. ellison believed literature shooting gauge in foretelling. there's foretelling of the civil-rights movement of the end of the novel clearly is in an america still governedçç by plessey versus ferguson, separate but equal. the moment of the novel is the brown vs. board decision of 1954. i want to read a letter that ellison wrote right after he heard the decision come down. it is remarkable letter. it gets at what he is up to in this novel. his theme, the invasion of identity and its cost and its danger. so now the court has found in our favor and recognized our human psychological complexity and citizenship and another battle of the civil war has been won. the rest is up to us and i am very glad. the decision came when i was reading a stillness at appomattox and a study of the negro freedman and it made a heightening of perspective and a sense of the problems that lie ahead tha

adam kennedy is in there.his third steal of the year, the national's 16th. >> rob: as bob said, when he does throw the knuckle baller, you see him take off. he's actually waiting a little bit, going the whole way. as soon as he lifted that leg, boom, he's gone. you see the knuckle baller has a motion towards home plate. >> bob: willingham, left side. belliard cuts it off. the nats are gone in the bottom of the 1st. nyjer morgan igniting a triple to left center. adam kennedy then drove him in. after one inning, the nats are on top. geico's been saving people money on car insurance for over 70 years. and who doesn't want value for their dollar? been true since the day i made my first dollar. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >> bob: nationals are on top. loney, belliard, and dewitt for the dodgers, top of the 2nd. jimenez only needed one of tho

adam kennedy puts the nats on top 1-0. two left-handed batters, letting the ball get deep in their stance before

and this brings us back to the top of the order and adam bryant, who was 0-2 this afternoon. the bottom part of the order has been effective. sullivan has been on 3 times, walked, singled and homers. and rosado has been on, 2 run scored. and for the first time, the troy trojans have a little bit of breathing room! >> yes. this is one of those sliders, kind of flips up a little breaking ball, didn't break at really fly. pretty good hitter, nice play in bryant bryant. >>> and adam bryant deposited into deep right center field, and whether he have a new pitcher here. so, daniel golden leads in the bottom of the 6:00.

that can throw a lot of people off. >> bob: adam dunn next.ggled against gorzelanny tonight. 2-2. adam dunn used to see a lot of gorzelanny in the nl central in cincinnati while tom was with those battling bucks, who has really fallen upon hard times with their pitching staff. that one is hacked in the right field to fukudome. hope you're having a lovely evening back in the district. maryland, virginia, pennsylvania, delaware, north carolina -- wherever you may be watching masn tonight. we're here at wrigley field. here's adam dunn. >> rob: and all my buddies back at crystal city. yours too. >> bob: oh, yeah. best ballpark pretzels i've had lately. adam dunn getting one to center, but it's not going to go far enough. 395 feet away into the teeth of that breeze. that's the second out here in the 6th. that brings up josh willingham. >> rob: it's all right. made them a little nervous there for a second. looked like he just got in on him. he gives it a ride. >> bob: willingham, two fly balls to right field. >> rob: gorzelanny is going at him soft,

adam jones a couple of high bounces easily into 3rd base. >> gary: adam be 3 trippals on the season lasts are year, and the orioles have their 5th hit off marcum. and the infield is going to move in. playing a little more than half way. may charge on the pitch here. >> gary: here is the 1-0 delivery, and a strike taken. >> mike: and cito gaston, bringing the in field in to increase the average, potential average. >> gary: jones really good speed. does not have to go, obviously here. nobody out. 1-ball, 1 strike count. inside to markakis. i always think that is an interesting call in this situation for the manager. if you were managing, would you have jones going on contact for 1st base. >> mike: with nobody out, you probably don't. 1 out, you probably do. >> gary: 2-ball, 1 strike count. and a strike taken and markakis did not like that cal by his body movement -- call by his body movement. >> mike: and marcum just trying to stay just inside the outside corner and clearly just outside the corner. >> gary: and the count, 3-2. and markakis, protecting that time. >> mike: yes. your vision i

that is what adam and i set out to do and that is what three days before the shooting is. it has six narrative is. part

second baseman adam rosales has it.nd -- 1 pitch and 1 out. >> jim: let's take a look at adam jones in last night's ballgame, two sides of the ball, he had an outstanding night. we were talking with john shelby today and they addressed it right away and has different philosophy on some things but they worked it out. >> gary: nick markakis is batting in the number 2 spot for the first time. nick markakis got his first rbi in the ballgame last year hitting 212 hard to imagine it would have continued to this point through 10 games. he has picked up 10 walks 7 strike outs. 3 doubles a triple an extra base hits and the left handed delivery is going to miss. >> jim: adam jones had been 0-8 versus dallas braden. >> gary: that will go short on the one hopper versus cliff pennington. >> jim: let's look at the oakland a's defense, adam rosales left, cliff pennington on second, and jake will be behind the plate. >> gary: their defensive plays have made a difference including the one on miguel tejada. it could have been a lot diffe

adam smith wrote at a time when shame was a economic behavior. transactions often occurred for parties to reputation of capital. that was their most important asset. that was then, this is now. we cannot waive our copies of "the wealth of nations" in except -- and expect that to have an effect. he could rely on markets of the sort that we no longer have. nor can we rely on the religious supply which was one thing being tossed around a while ago. goldman sacks argues he is doing god's work which is the first merger of god and man. those of us that admire adam smith and others should feel comfortable and relying on something more down-to-earth than the religious revival. i would like to call it creating a neo-orthodoxy. a new capitalism rooted in old verities adapted to now. it is absolutely imperative that we take that at a time when capitalism is under such severe attack and strain as was mentioned when its very legitimacy is under attack. that is not to say that i'm insensitive to milton friedman's warning that the bulk of the community automati

batista, alex gonzalez and adam lind with wells in the cleanup spot. overbay, buck will catch. pretty good numbers against the orioles starter today, millwood. when you look at the dangerous hitters in this lineup, no one has caused more harm to the orioles in the series than alex gonzalez, the short stop. >> he's not a little guy of what you'd call your classic number two hitter, a guy you expect to bunt guys over, get them into scoring position, hit behind the runners because this little guy has some pop in his bat. three times since 2003 he's had double figures in home runs. he had 23 in 2004, 18 at one other time, 16 in 2007, already he's off to a great start hitting .318. he leads the club in home runs with two so far, with three doubles to add to that. you cannot just lay the ball in, middle in and expect he's going to make an out. >> what the orioles are looking to do, of course, is get some timely hitting coming along and grouping those hits. so far this offense is off to a very slow start. and last night it was a season low. if you look at the numbers early on, they ar

adam kennedy, adam dunn. just pudge. a lot of guys. a lot of guys, willingham.too many names. there are a lot of a professional group of ball players understand it is a long season, long grind don't get too hard, too low, stay motivated and fired up to win this game at hand. >> is it nice that you had this home stand with a couple big guns nursing nagging injuries. >> it just tells our guys you got to go out and win the ball game any way. you still got to win the game if you are missing a couple guys but i think it does also remind us how good we can be when we get out, ryan back in there and you know we really get adam dunn taken off and harris was just barely available today. we were without some weapons just like they were. they played the series without manny ramirez but our pictures did a great job. we came in hitting as a team i believe and our pitchers did a great job. >> any indications from clifford. >> well, i talked to him before the game just wanted to see how he felt. he went two winnings the other day and up yesterday but we decided not to use him

. >> adam jones leads off. adam singleton is first at bat. he's 4 for his first 7 on the season. >> normally if you're matt garza, you don't mind those ground ball hits between first and second, but it followed with a markakis. >> jim: popped it up and brignac brignac, the 2nd baseman takes charge. now your kids can learn to play like the pros from the pros, you can sign up today for an official baseball camp and your youngsters will enjoy 5 days of professional training, free membership to the junior orioles club. all the dates, locations and all the details, (410)472-3500 or as always you can get all the info online at www.orioles.com. who knows? you may have gym palmer there. >> great way to learn about the game. nick walked an scored in the first inning. there's a strike. fast ball right there and it's and 2. >> they are not getting -- since the first inning, they're not getting a lot of balls in the middle of the plate. that's what good pitches is about. if you can keep good stuff -- or great stuff in garza's case. had a nice year, stay

also robyn adams, who's a convicted drug dealer, now serving time in federal prison. they both claim that in conversations with them casey anthony told them that she would knock out caylee, she did this so she didn't have to get a babysitter, she didn't want to leave caylee with her parents. so she would put her to sleep so that she could then go party. one of them used the phrase so she could go out. it's because they said she was complaining that she was young, she couldn't live the life she wanted with a child. >> i want to go now to leonard padilla, bounty hunter, who spent time with the anthony family when he first helped tot mom bond out from behind bars. are you surprised, leonard padilla, at all these letters and the comments that she made about having caylee too young, that she wanted to be single, the comments about doping the child up so she'd be knocked out so she could go party all night? >> no. none of it surprises me. but i will tell you this. cindy never brought no chloroform home. she probably never had access to it. because when we were there one of
