what i used to do when i toward american universities -- toured american universities, i used to go into the classroom can act scenes from shakespeare. suddenly, it came to life. in front of them. i would love to direct american kids in shakespeare if i had the opportunity to get -- again. i have done it briefly. one of the last ones was in the university of mexico and we did a scene from a crazy play from samuel beckett. it came to life with these children. it was very beautiful. the youngwork with and imaginative mind. never i suspect you would retire from acting because it is in your dna. i suspect if there was something you would be beautiful ads and brilliant at doing, it would be spending more time teaching. you are such a great teacher. >> i love to be in touch with that aspect of me. it is energized by enthusiastic young people. sometimes there are 200 in the room and i work with 10 of them. tavis: i want to circle back to "iron man 3." think back at roles you have played, like gandhi. .iron man 3" is escapism i wonder if you might say a word of embracingue escapism. or being exp

we're now seeing their violent ways i was joined earlier by adrian pyne assistant professor at american university and author of working hard drinking hard she fills us in on the latest information pertaining to gang violence and the truce and what it would mean for the country. well it remains to be seen what the truth will mean for the country because it's really the government's response that will that will that will determine that the truce between the two gangs is certainly important but above and beyond the gangs violence aimed at each other the real determinant of violence on a broad scale has been state violence against gang members and many other sectors of the population that have been identified as resistant to the say one way or the other so there's been resists violence against teachers teachers unions there's been violence against campus ina peasants indigenous peoples all of whom have been in one way or another struggling against the violent policies of the state and there are also been state sponsored death squads that have been really targeting gang members and so what the gang me

when john kennedy spoke at american university there was a great push in 1963 for both the soviet union and the united states to sort of cut down on the arming to the teeth, to see the bigger picture about safer world. something that bipartisan could agree with. this was a very partisan delivery. >> yes. and this is wholly in line with the way the president behaves. the president is president of all of the people, especially when they're giving major address like this. you talk about a college campus. this is the state where they voted for him but he could have given a grand strategic vision for foreign policy, domestic policy, and instead he thinks wholly incapable of giving a speech that it not all about him and a speech that is not attacking attacking and knocking his opponents he gave a very prickly speech, why me, about those who omose me and my vision of big government then, you shouldn't listen to them. rather than say, listen, america is all about very robust debate. we're about the free market place and the train wreck of idea. he doesn't do that. he never does that. so, this k

where he is a professor of american university. welcome. was he in any way anti-semitic. >> he was not anti-semitic. now most people of his class certainly had some degree of anti-semitism. but fdr's father did business with jews counseled him against bigotry. his mom was involved in charity work. in her 80s she traveled to give a talk to hadasa. she won a medal for her work. he was certainly not anti-semitic although from time to time he could talk loosely given the anti-semitism that was so rooif during the 1930s and 40s. >> michael: yours isn't the first book on the subject. many have taken a more accuser to tone. why is your book more forgiving? >> i think the problem with books like that and many others is they tend to read history backwards. in light of what we know today, and believe today, rather than attempting to recover the contemporary meaning of history at the time and that's where our book differs from other books on fdr and the jews. we're not uncritical but present an balanced view, which shows at times fdr truly did not do

american female in this country. [laughter] and i'll be frank, until i moved to the university of iowa to do my graduate studies, i didn't realize there was this many white people in the whole world. because san antonio's very much a mexican-american stronghold. i thought of myself as mexican. my spanglish was simply what was spoken. and when i moved up there, i was going to work on shakespeare, french poets, and the culture shock was so great that i really kind of retreated into myself and got introduced to the borderlands. i recognized in myself trying to negotiate too lives. i was or very articulate, very good in english, a good scholar, good enough to go to iowa, but there was also very strange looks at me. not unkind, but simply who are you, where did you come from? and reading that book single handledly lead me onto this path and trying to swim through that book -- still to this day -- is enlightening and, thankfully, for me i got over the fright. it became definitely something empowering. in the necessity we have of labeling, i think it's easy to say, oh, the chicana and chicano movement, that coincided with the b

that is documented by several international groups, including the two american university law schools stanford and columbia, which said this was causing mass trauma and that particular area and was a clear violation of human rights. that is what probably prompted the obama administration to come out with this new policy on the drone strikes. >> ok, thank you for that report from islamabad. the head of the international monetary fund has arrived at court for a second day of reckoning. christine lagarde is being investigated for a $500 million payment a businessman got from the french government while she was the finance minister. critics say the settlements were too generous and should have gone through open court. it is been revealed the girlfriend of the soldier killed in london on wednesday is also in the military. she is being flown back from duty and afghanistan for his memorial. 25-year-old lee rigby was a drummer and machine gunner in the british military. the memorial service will be held in his hometown of manchester in northern england. meanwhile, more arrest. two more people
