what's the social implications of rethinking how we envision old age? >> it gets rid of stereotypes, which influence how people behave. there is a famous study that shows if the psychologist is testing somebody sort of takes the attitude well, you're not going to do well because you're old or your memory is going to do poorly, well, the person will do poorly. if they take the attitude, look, you have a lot of life experiences, you're wise, intelligent, nobody will perform better. there is feedback. ageism has a negative effect on performance. >> as we do in a cultural environment in which age is stereotyped, right? >> yes. >> then you will conform willy-nilly to that stereotype, if you're supposed to be fragile at the age 80. >> yes. >> then you become fragile. >> exactly. >> if you think, however, that your's going to be living to the age 100, then you shatter the stereotype and you don't conform to it, and you're healthier? >> you are. >> you actually affect your health? >> you affect your health by your attitude. donald palmer has the oldest thing in

"what's the matter with white people?" >> the title has three meanings, but we get stuck on one, thanks to mitt romney and paul ryan. why does it happen that 90% of identified republicans according to the gallup poll are white in a country that is now 62% non- hispanic white? looking at this house some moved away towards the democratic party, and what -- looking at how some moved away towards the democratic party. they were very good at taking some of the chaos of the 1960's, using it against the democrats, and convincing these middle- class people that government had been identified with the interests of minorities and the poor and was not working for them anymore and luring them over to become the republican base. that title gets a lot of attention, because we have seen such a rationalized -- such a campaign, particularly as mitt romney and paul ryan use welface that is -- use

he had come of age in washington, serving on the madison domestic staff from age 10 to age 18. he had considered running away when that periodf time was up, but instead, in the end, went back to montpelier. after all, that was his home too. he was not ready to never see his mother and other kin again, and he was the only eyewitness who left an account at the desk of james madison, but now, dolly madison was selling month peelier, and that separated jennings from his own wife and children. he had married an enslaved woman at a nearby plantation to month montpelier, and that meant their five chirp, as they came along, were owned by his wife's owner. they had barely been able to get together by once a week, and now, jennings was moving from virginia all together. his wife dies about the same time. now these are motherless children back in virginia. the youngest, only two years old. now, dolly is hurting financially, even after selling montpelier. she hires jennings out to work in the james pulp white house so he has a second experience working in the white house. at one point, the

obesity is no longer confined to those who are middle aged or older. increasingly, the patterns associated with obesity are found in the very young. barbara korsch: many people believe a fat baby's a healthy baby, but from a health point of view, more obese babies go on to be fat adults. stopping the progression of obesity in childhood can be a challenge, as dr. korsch and a team of specialists learned. and we had a really hard time getting good results, as has everybody. and one trouble was, the nutritionist would earnestly say, "don't eat between meals," and all that. a lot of those families didn't even have meals. they don't sit down together either at breakfast or lunch or dinner and eat a meal with the children involved, so that it's gotten quite chaotic, and whatever is quick and available and tastes good. and the media, dr. korsch contends, just compound the problem. barbara korsch: television watching is the single thing that has been consistently associated with obesity. and there have even been some really interesting studies that if a child

i think age also is something important. i remember, i wanted to do what a collection one time with only old people, and they told me not to do that because we do not like to see ourselves projected as old. and i did not do it. sometimes i did not listen, but at the moment, i knew i had to do some testing, and i had to show the beauty through the edge, so i will do it one time. maybe it will be my last collection. i will be part of the show, and i will walk. >> your final question comes from a twitter question. what advice do you have for young artists and designers to be successful in the world with so much competition and talent? >> i do not like to give advice. i know only my passion. what i can say is if you truly love fashion, you want to do a profession with fashion, you see -- they will find solutions. the things in fashion is to be right of with the moment with the society, with the desire, with what people need, and to understand also economically. of course, now, we have a moment where economically, there are a lot

the gap between how much progress men and women make, of the same age, as they age, is much bigger than i expected. it is very large. we are talking about between 40% and 50% over lifetime earnings. it is much bigger than the gap in pay between men and women at the same job. it has come down by half over the last 30 years because 35 years ago, remember, over a lifetime we are making double, but it is still very large, much larger than people will expect and that i expected. i think it reflects two things. one is different races of jobs -- different faces of jobs and professions. there is a much greater share of women that work part-time instead of full time. this captures just working men and women, and it does not distinguish full-time and part- time because if you did you would lose a lot of the actual movement in income because a lot of people move from full- time-to-part-time. if you're only looking at full time, you would miss a lot of this. that is one finding. the second striking finding is that the gap between earnings and the rate of growth earnings of blacks and whites is much

pierpont morgan was the greatest financier of his age. he also was determined to become its greatest collector. in the year that morgan formed united states steel, the world's first billion- dollar corporation, he achieved a goal equally great in the field of art. for an unprecedented sum, he acquired raphael's famous colonna altarpiece. like other wealthy americans of his time, morgan sought the company of the european aristocracy. he was part of the cultural movement known as the american renaissance, which saw the united states as the heir of the european past. adjacent to his house in new york, morgan built a library as a monument to his taste. the decoraon inside the library was inspired by raphael and other italian masters. morgan's library contained his collection of rare books and manuscpts, as well as renaissance paintings and sculpture. like isabella gardner, morgan identified with a renaissance predecessor, the great baer agostino chigi. morgan even installed in his study a brocade wall-covering with chigi's coat-of-arms. morga

the leading cause of death on death row is old age or suicide. the death row population has gone from 0 to 730. we haven't had an execution in six years. so there's some people who say, look, let's just get rifd this, it can't be fixed. on the other hand, opponents say wait a minute, it can be fixed with reform, but the legislature won't do the reforms. these things die in committee to speed up the appeals process and things like that. the polls show that it's very tight on prop 34, split right down the middle. so the yes side has a lot of money. they raised about $4 million. the opponents -- there doesn't seem to be any organized campaign against ending the death penalty. >> one of the arguments i have heard on the other side on this one is if you get rid of the death penalty, it takes away sort of a key bargaining chip that law enforcement has when they're looking at some of these convicted -- or convictions. what about that argument? >> i suppose that's possible. d.a.s overwhelming leo pose prop 34. i think in san francisco there's the only at
