and thought to relax traditional morays and perceptions and behaviors. regarding sexuality with playboy in late 1953 emerging as a leading figure and that movement would gather much force over the next few decades. and birth control pill things sex was less risky married and unmarried and with those sexual proclivities were varied and less conferring that people would have expected that. but hafner and playboy a move the four of sexual liberation. of course with actual expression and display of all kinds and fundamentally rooted but now hafner pushed hard for relaxing those restraints. and then thomas paid for the sexual revolution and then to use those striking images to redefine sex as fulfillment and recreation. and to be put into a symbol of his crusader sexual liberation and chest pain to present her not as the approach of all movie star but as the girl next door. insisting that nice girls like sex also. he shaped the playmate into the enticing of those of the liberated woman. and then the playmate was an object of wonderment and not so young as wel

we'll get set up and go ahead and have our powerpoint set up and so we can go ahead and discuss our three things on the agenda. as jennifer is setting that up i'm going to introduce myself, i am emily vasquez, a therapeutic coordinators with the san francisco recreation and parks and we specialize in providing recreation and leisure opportunities for those with disabilities throughout san francisco. >> i am jennifer wong, the other therapeutic recreation coordinator and i thank everyone for having us here today. oh, so what we are focusing on today is we're touching briefly on the three different topics. it's really focusing on access to our services. specifically a therapeutic or inclusive after-school program. and then, lastly, we'll discuss the children's play area assessment project which is very exciting to talk about. >> okay, so in regards to accessing our services, oftentimes the public doesn't know how to have access to our services so it's either through word-of-mouth or they come across our website. so what we do is we cover accommodations or modifications when they reach out t

anderson and the children, millie and jane and grundy go to school and are learning well. the teacher said grundy has a head for a preacher. they go to sunday school and mandy and me attend church regularly as for my freedom, which you say i can have, well there is nothing to be gained on that front. as i got my freedom papers in 1864 from the department at nashville. now andy and i have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. i served you faithfully for 32 years, and mandy 20 years. at $25 a month for me and $2 a week for mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680 and that is about $200,000 in today's money. so back pay. add to this interest for the time our wages have been kept back and detukt what you paid for clothing and doctors visits and mandy had a tooth pulled and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to. please send the money by adam's express in view of square, dayton, ohio if you fail to pay us, we could have little faith in your promises in the future. we trust the good maker has opened y

and very committed to the free and open facilitation or flow of capital and trade and ideas that are fundamental to prosperity and have a very strong shared agenda between god and country that is very important. so that is a broad strategic mission so i will have a very active agenda across the board to encourage the united states to have a strong economic engagement with the united states from secretary pompeo we heard that this morning with ambitious engagements with china and including india, japan, indonesia and also working very closely and that we heard about the indo pacific region and also the regional act to withstand the test of time for with that infrastructure and other institutions. but with that engagement we are using a variety of tools to do that to increase diplomatic engagement including that in the last four years those that go out into the region to study will serve us well and increasing the expenditure of gdp with a strong development part of progress that is $2.6 billion. on top of that felt like economic engagement and infrastructure that when we look at that

he loved the barbecue and the sound of the creek and the water there and the animals and the hawks and eagles and the little dog and all of that meant so much to him. that's a place where he received family and friends and the people who are by his side including megan mccain, his daughter, we've been talking about because she was part of the fox family such a long time and special to so many people at fox and also without a statement talking about her father and saying i was with my father at his end as he was with me at my beginning and the 33 years we shared together, he taught me, colectomy, comforting me, encourage me, supported me in all things he loved me and i loved him. he taught me to live his life and his care ever present always , if he didn't agree with it and, as you know, father and grandfather both buried at arlington national cemetery but senator mccain has expressed his desire at one point that he be buried at his alma mater, the navy academy in annapolis. we are awaiting word to see if that is the way that things will go but john, of course, doesn't that just sound l

and demonte and ilia will marry and rule. it's very serious.but it is absolutely amazing depiction of the world -- of the republic of love taking over from the monarchy of fear. so i guess that's my -- mozart to me is just so great and singing is even better. although it happens that my voice is a dramatic supremacist. parts i end up singing are the bad ones. like the revenge people. [ laughing ] >> so that's all right. you understand the other side better if you can do it from within your body, you know. so sure. and running is another thing i do, which is very, i guess, connected to mindfulness in many ways. but thanks. and i think we should all think what our alternatives are. [ applause ] >> we have copies of the book behind the catsh register. you can line up there. >> thanks for coming. [ inaudible conversations ]. >> book tv wants to know what you're reading. send us your summer reading list at book tv on twitter, instagram or on facebook. book tv on c-span2, television for serious readers. >> we're now on book tv. we want to introduce y

the kids who won the raffle got to run up on stage and bow and mug and hug and harvey loved that. but such a lovable image of him that i come back to several times in the book because i think he genuinely loved the limelight. he loved to be in front of audiences. he fought fervently for all of the oppressed and people who are discriminated against, not just gay people, but senior citizens and workers in racial and ethnic minorities, and yet he could be outrageously insensitive to individuals, and i don't hide that in the book. i think it's just part of his great complexity. he was a very joyous participant and a wildly sexual gay culture in san francisco and new york and yet he could be so emotionally faithful to his partners, even when it seemed quite hopeless. i'm thinking particularly of poor jack lira, young man harvey lived with for a couple years who committed suicide and harvey's friends told him jack just wasn't salvageable when he would not be a good partner if he became supervisor and was serious about his political career and yet there was no way harvey could give up on

and they are. and how and in caring about the issue. >> and with that. it is under your wing and serve as a mentor for you. and she was the one who helped in the nutrition program. and that is very much. and the atmosphere of the house when you are first elected. was it a welcoming place and a place to make adjustmentes. we just arrived. and it is very welcoming. that is adjustmentes. and that is come down. it is not that they will go back and go home, in the excitement for the first 2 or 3 weeks. i think all of us with the variety committees. regardless of the committees. and that is depending on how you speak and put bills in. and i think we have what they call the regular order. >> we understood what regular order meant and we have your little place and they are aware of themselves. they all made adjustmentes and the joy of having them in together gave us a bonding and a strength that we wouldn't have had if i came by myself. and that is conversely harder. and if you think about the committees, i think they are more difficult to get on. and i actually

bush, who loves the outdoors and loves flowers and plants and natural landscape and the national parks, always looked to mrs. johnson as an example of, you know, someone who so appreciated our natural beauty. and mrs. bush would say, would look at mrs. johnson and say, oh, she loved flowers. but really what she was was our nation's first conservationist first lady. so i think that her presence and one of the personal recollections i have of mrs. johnson, which is seared in my memory for the rest of my life is linda johnson rob, who we all heard from last night, of course, on the descendants panel, but linda had called me when i was chief of staff to mrs. bush and said, i'm bringing my mother back to washington for what i know will be her last time. to see some of her friends, of course, she had a stroke, she wasn't speaking, she was in a wheelchair, but she was still very vibrant. and she said, do you think we can come to the white house? so i knew instinctively, laura bush's reaction would be, of course. and i never answer for anything on mrs. bush's schedule wouitho talking to her fi

what he was was a great writer and he was 02 law library and sit there and he would study and he would study and then he go to his part-time job and go back to his little rented room in the woods where there was no heat . i mean, it was this onerous part of richard nixon's early life that but you can't put a dickensian spin on it but there's a lot of iron but in the biographers wrath. >> and timewise, again. just to give people a sense of the time commitment that goes into these books. >> my first three books had been six years from the time that i say it goes off and somebody said from the time until it hits the stores. >> to give you a sense of what balk here, it's quite extensive. let me before i ask jonathan to start, i'm going to alert you that in a few minutes, i'm going to ask some questions from the audience, if you have questions. i'll always like to point out that if you have comments or you want to talk about a book, we have plenty of time to do that afterwards if you have a specific question for the panelists, we have some, i think we have microphones somewhere which this g

thank you, mayor breed, and supervisor cohen and supervisor mandelman and supervisor brown, and directorrcia, barbara garcia. thank you for being here and for your support for our seniors. here at victorian manor we serve over 90 elderly clients with various needs, including dementia, medical and mental health needs. our home provides a place where seniors can live in the community and be as independent as possible. we welcome with open hearts and open arms a diverse group of residents, including a frail and vulnerable elderly population and we see every day what a big difference it makes for them to have the right place to live with the full activity program that enriches their lives. thank you mayor breed for recognizing the work of residential care facilities for the elderly like victorian manor. the new funding will help us to make ends meet. and to continue to serve the seniors that we care so much about. we are happy that the city is also looking into long-term solutions to keep the facilities like ours, residential care facilities for the elderly, to have them remain in san franci

i also want to thank tiffany and rachel and donna and whitney and maria and an incredibly huge hug and special thanks to my legislative aide, carolina morales, who's sick at home but who's probably watching, and who poured her heart and soul and brilliant brain into creating an effective piece of legislation that doesn't just create more bureaucracy or more city positions but is very thoughtfully crafted to put a dent in this massive issue and problem in our society. i want to thank my colleagues for being with us every step of the way on this, especially i wanted to thank supervisor kathrin stefani who partners with me from the very beginning on this legislation. it feels really great to be here today and really, really great to be making a dent in this problem. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor. any other discussion, colleagues? we can take this item, same house, same call? without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: madam clerk, items 33 and 34. >> clerk: these are two resolutions that improve modification to airport services professio

so ambrose and hanks and spielberg and brokaw were all there, and i could say it was not only a great day for the national d-day museum, it was always a great day for the good war, as it has been called, or as tom brokaw would refer to also to the greatest generation, which is evocative of many of the themes in the "private ryan." now, for spielberg, in a way it was sort of a trifecta. i mean he had already put out "schindler's list," and now "private ryan," and then here is the national d-day museum which in a way is authenticating both ends of that story. in fact, hal baumgardner goes ashore with the star of david and all of a sudden, hitler here i come, and in conversations about it later on with steven spielberg and others, it was these are the guys that were coming in to liberate europe, to free the people in the concentration camps. so it was -- the museum in a way was sort of the epicenter of that story, just with "private ryan" and "schindler's list." it was a lucky break for us because the stars were lined up. everything was happening after eight years of one disaster -- as t

and these are transition adults who are 18 to 22, and we provide health and fitness classes and we partnered with harvey mill cultural arts and they have funding through the san francisco school district for these access programs. so it's our first time dabbing into that budget. >> i'm glad that you brought it up and this is the last -- the final -- but i'm glad that you brought up the seniors' disabilities, i am blind and hard-of-hearing so i'd be interested in how that really develops to be sure. i went for the longest time and thought that -- well, you get to a point where you do become a senior and so just keep us informed. >> definitely, thank you for your questions. >> co-chair sehaux: thank you, council members for your questions and comments and input. over to staff for questions and i know that our director can add a little information about this information item as well. >> director nicole bohn: thank you very much for being here and i want to thank you both for being willing to field questions that were out of scope for what you were prepared to talk about today. [laughter] thank

red lights and speeding and stop sign and yield while turning. and so as you can see, i mean, if you have any questions at any point stop me because there will be other slides and there's a lot of numbers as you can imagine. so then we go into comparison to 2014 to 2018. and the top numbers are total violations issued and you can see the difference between the traffic company and city-wide which is the 10 district stations. >> what is the difference with the upper column? >> the upper column is total citations and the lower one is the focus on the five. those are the totals. so that's all 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. i know that it's hard to take in that -- all of that data, but the comparison is really from one year to the next and we went down this year for various reasons in the totals of focus on the five, but we expect that to jump back up in the coming years. >> supervisor mandelman: and i'm sorry, sorry for jumping in, but the last is a half year, is that correct? >> yes. they're all january to june to do a comparison. >> supervisor mande

and he hand to have his bow and arrow with him, and he was ready do shoot and then the attendant said, no, it's like sacred elk. why -- if there's an elk there, why wouldn't you eat it? was his thinking. but at the end of that, they made the royal tour of the various -- the theaters, the cathedrals and soing for were gawked at by thousands. whatever else he english had, they were materially superior, they had more stuff and there was more of them and there was no way that they were ever going to beat the english, but that there was a way that they thought that the english might be able to help them, and in the strength of that 1730 meeting that he vowed if there every war they would come in on the english side, which they did. they did this first because they want told get back at the american settlers and second, that they figured that the english were going to be powerful and therefore be able to help them. and it didn't work out well. then once -- they were on the wrong side every time. of course the english beat the americans -- i mean lost to the americans, at you may have herd i

and because we're a city and a county, we have an m.t.a. and a c.t.a., and the c.t.a.'s function is really that long-range planning, the delivery of large-scale capital improvements and undefunding. and so we work a lot with the c.t.a. on grants. would we work on long range projects together. it's a very complicated landscape, and she has been incredibly generous with our team. last week, her colleague, warren logan came to the policy committee and was talking about their draft he mernling mobility evaluation report. i like to call that what do we do with the network transportation company's report, and it was verien lightening and interesting. she has a lot -- very enlightening and very interesting. she has a lot on her plate, and i just thank you so much for being here tonight. >> thank you for your kind words. president bermejo, and commissioners, i'm tilly chang, director of san francisco county transportation authority. i want to thank you for allowing me to present on measure 3, and thank you to your director and her team for prioritizing this topic and really bei

distribution and so on and so forth. because of the real estate in general and how expensive it is to either find real estate, pay for real estate and do business in san francisco. and so if there is a tax i would say that it should go directly to the equity incubator program or something to help the equity applicants continue to flourish because there will be that tax so if the tax is put into a program to to help it could counter. >> supervisor cohen: thank you, next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. jim lazarus, the san francisco chamber of commerce and i appreciate the amendments made and what is pending before you today. i think that a deferral of any tax collections is the right thing to do. we have to go back to gross receipts generally and the ordinance from 2012 needs to be amended. you have heard me say we have a tale of a payroll tax next year of .5% and we base this on $410 million of business taxes in 2007 -- pardon me, 2011 and it's now $800 million of business taxes collected. based on that pa

minorities, and our workers are minorities and women. we explore and send the invitation to minority. we are -- in this particular job, we have only limited amount of trades involved, say two trades. and the trades, we have the minority, we contacted two asian companies, and they said they will not bid this, it's too big for them. nevertheless, we will -- right now, we are talking to one of the fabricators, metal local fabricators, who is spanish american, and we may utilize him if we can get all the numbers together with him for fabrication of some of the parts for the frame assembly of the building of the structure. we also hire a lot of local people, local residents. if you're a local company -- i've been living in san francisco since 1978, so i've been working on the waterfront since '79, so i'm very familiar with issues here. so i hope you're going to be able to understand what we are trying to do and the limits that we had on this project to get more minority businesses to participate in the bid. >> okay. >> not in the bid -- in th

and evil and justice and injustice. there is just very little upon which you find that americans really agree these days. >> for your insights, your perspective and your stories, barbara perry of the university of virginia and pat buchanan, to both of you, thank you for being with us. >> good to see you, friend. >> our pleasure. >>> when our look at the 1968 presidential campaign continues, a college history lecture on the events happening in the u.s. at the time which changed the future of the candidates. then a discussion of the 1968 new hampshire primary with panelists who were involved in the campaigns. we are able to show you these american history tv programs, normally shown only on the weekends, because congress is on break. and if you miss any of today's programs, you can see them again tonight at 8:00 eastern. you can also listen to the programs as a podcast on spotify or watch anytime at c-span.org on our 1968 page. our c-span series, 1968: america in turmoil, continues throughout the week here on c-span 3. on

[applause] and i just want to also a special shout-out to nina because many people tried to make this happen. i wanted to rename is building the nina lee but she gets mad when i say that. [laughter] and i wanded to see her make that face. of course, ours nonprofit partners, dish and e.c.s. for operating the building. [applause] and most of all, our new residents. the new members of our community who are living in this building, who will be part of this community and part of this neighborhood and will help make both the building and the neighborhood a better place to live. thank you all to the residents who are here today. let's hear it for the residents again.

we have low 70s at napa and novato, and mid 70s in fairfield and concord and 70 in livermore and the view from atop mt. tam showing clouds over the bay and these are our forecast features. low clouds and fog and drizzle again overnight. and it will be cooler than average again tomorrow. but slightly warmer inland this weekend. so here is our forecast. taking us into the late night and overnight hour notice the advance of the low clouds and fog over the bay by about 9:30 and at 6:30 as commuters are on the way, there will be reduced visibility and the fog will burn back slowly to the bay and then by midday or early afternoon back to the coastline giving us mainly sunny skies over the bay and inland. overnight low temperatures are in the mid to upper 50s and expect drizzle near the coastline and around the shoreline. and by afternoon tomorrow, we'll take you through the day with a 12-hour planner. early morning hours overcast conditions with some clouds lingering into the midday hours and into the afternoon we'll see brighter skies and bit sunnier with clouds pulling back to the coastl

and, yeah, then he attacked me and i had never been with anybody, and he was a lot older than me, and i was 12 or 13, so... - he raped you. - yeah. so that was, um, yeah. my first experience and... so, it wasn't pleasant. how do you trust people after you have situations like that? um... i don't know if i do trust people. i don't think i do trust people, really. a lot of things have happened to a lot of people, and you just have to get past it and be happy in your life moving forward. there's nothing you can do about the past. i'm sure it affected my-- my life and my, um, my choices about my-- even my-- not my sexuality, but my power as a sexual person 'cause i think i really-- i say i flipped the script, you know? i decided that i was going to be in charge of what was sexy for me. and soon as i realized that was just my mindset, it just freed me from everything. it was really a huge epiphany for me to be able to think that i can live my life my own way. what were your dreams when you were living here? did you want to stay? did you want to leave? i wanted to leave, find opportunity an

gotent back and forth and all the statistics, and i came home one day and my son, who is in fifth grade, i made the mistake of complaining to him. big mistake. i said i had a bad day and he said dad, what do you do all day at work that is so hard? get the facts, make a decision, check next. he said dad, get the facts, make a decision, check next. he said, every day i have to go to school and learn something completely new that i didn't know existed the day before. and after five minutes i said, you are right. fifth grade is harder than being governor. [laughter] but it went in the next morning and i said, we didn't have local statistics, we didn't get the facts locally. into fightsn we get now, and we don't take the time to sift through, and what you just heard, all that array of viable information from the federal government, we don't use facts as diligently as we should. so it took us three weeks, by the time we got our local facts. we didn't have those local statistics. by the time we got them, the battle was already over, we divided ourt we state legislature bitterly. and the facts

issue and issued a report and we decided to try to focus on fines and fees and we thought how are weoing to get the board of supervise source and the mayor to agree to this. and so we brought it to then president of the board and supervisor london breed. and she didn't ask for a report. she didn't ask for a hearing. she just said we're going to make this happen. she got it right away. she understood how these fines and fees crushed families. crushed individuals who are trying to turn their life around like joseph and destabilize communities. you know, even though when you get a call from our treasurer, it's usually not good news, he got it right away, too. so we were able to go to sheriff hennessy, d.a. gacon and probation chief fletcher and they all agreed. so, that was very important. and it sends an important message. you have to remember that san francisco is a place where ban the box first started. [applause] that initiative within two years went statewide. and this week, there is a bill in the federal government that's going to be introduced in congress. so we can do the same t

and social and city-wide planning. those are challenges that we face every thursday and i reflect on them every week. i believe we need to add a new ingredient into the process, which is a comprehensive, broader view of the city of the future, where we can -- where we need to balance the important qualities of our city with a step-by-step thoughtfulness. it's not about good plans and long visions but how we achieve formulating that. in closing, i'm honored to serve again on the planning commission and today i ask for your support. i'm firmly committed to bring what i can to preserve and enhance a strong, traditional planning in the city that for me includes a voice for all neighborhoods. i would like to thank the many supporters that have written and spoken on my behalf and especially those who have come today to voice their support. i do also want to mention that i strongly support my three fellow commissioners in front of you today. as a team, think we're unbeatable. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. we'll r

people have been killed and there are protests and electricity, water, medicine, and everything and inecent protests someone that had come up in the el kistema person was kill period. was that a bit of a turning point? >> it is always difficult to talk about politics especially in my country because it is so polarized that sometimes when you bring that to the table you're bringing a family and it gets really difficult and, yes, violence is unacceptable. that is something that for me, growing up, as i'm tell young in an environment that created beauty for me it's not possible that outside on the streets it's happening the opposite. even if el sistema is a country and have become the symbol of the world because el sestema it touched my life because i'm a father it is or how beautiful at the same and then he get it is kelled you know? the first contact that i had with family was -- i don't know. it was very difficult. it was very difficult, but at the same time it was a moment to say, look, it is enough. it's enough, this fight. this is not taking us to anywhere. >> you were very clear in

the like and more desirable places to work and play and raise a family and start businesses. i agree with the chairman's assessment to do more than keep them on life support but i also agreed in dangers species act can be threatened and be initiated by the western governors association. and to make the most of the agencies with that species recovery process that we cannot support the legislation the current form. i am concerned even though well intentioned to open the door to provisions sows with the western governors association the primary reason they are where they are is because of her states including virginia have not had the resources or political will to do the jobs themselves that is why the endangered species act was so important that operate that biodiversity from local and political pressures. in a practical matter i think it will make it more difficult these resources do not belong just to virginia or wyoming or any single state but all americans. we have multiple opportunities. and then that implementation in the national fisheries service is reviewing the servi

from like syria and afghanistan and iraq and who are turned away and were exactly the same reason thatjews were turned away in 1939 and the alleged security problems? >> right. it's clear that our security apparatus is much more sophisticated and was back then. i think one of the things that is concerning to me is humanitarian aid being cut off because there's a lot of things you do and i read this week about cutting off aid to the white comets who are doing amazing humanitarian work in syria. that is something we need as individuals to pay attention to and made clear to our elective representatives that that is not coming we will stand for. one of the reasons that the war refugee board exists is because there was public pressure in 1943 that american made it clear they were paying attention. since they felt like we were winning the war they were okay with sending humanitarian aid and even if that falls in the hand of the enemy we will still win. it is not losing heart and continuing to make it clear that this is an these are our values and i don't have a magic bullet for it because yo

let's leave this place and do what we do best, and that is organize and mobilize, and educate all of our communities across this country. us, if not now? when. let's get the job done, brothers and sisters. [applause] >> thank you for your remarks saunders, thank you for your leadership in the labor movement to end your service on the rules and bylaws committee. your tireless efforts are critically important. i also want to thank our friend, , for herdent of aft service on the rules and bylaws committee, as well. people, are thinking can we think local one for the great work they had been doing in this hotel? let's give them a hand. thank you very much. now, they are in a tough stretch right now up negotiation, and we are going to make sure we are working with them to help them, -- ok, ok. you know, folks, thank you for what you have been doing. we have had a productive week here. we have been doing great work. we have been talking about the fact there are 73 days until the weekend. we are talking about the fact we have wind at our backs but we have worked to do. we have been talking

prosperity and tolerance and international peace and scurity. anoher and then another speech mid-january his third. the but after the december firehose press conference the dramatic arsenal of democracy with the fireside chat and the state of the union but in my opinion it was the most important of all the talks. it was a a philosophical or even spiritual talk about how precious it was a meaningful lesson to think about today.oset roosevelt asaid the nation is like a person it has thel physical an d intellectual spiritual life and then to be kept informed and alert.said h t and to have something deeper and more permanent but the democratic aspiration but that ongoing for equality and happiness instead of that spirit was killed and then the america that we now and with that democratic aspiration alive with brutal warfare to explain all services are called upon but fon every sacrifice but what caught but parading down pennsylvaniapa avenue with the cavalry andast infantry and navy, navy, coast guard, marines, west point andpn the midshipmen. and t

a missing martin to just woman and girl and. you know they're the body right away and then it's just simply not the case most of the time but yeah i think i want to show this because i think this helps us sort of visualize what's going on this is a face but the missing in indian country what it does is it shows you some of the people who either missing or there remains remain on identify and it gives you a just a little glimpse into it's not just swimming it's all different members of the native communities but this is happening on social social media and i'm wondering kala is this the way the community is saying we are doing this for ourselves we are not going to be victims forever right i mean i think that's a really great and i think a tremendous amount that can be done with collaboration with the grassroots with the tribes between state and local law enforcement and the federal government and that's really what we've recommended in our work that this is an all harems armed attack type of problem. given the type of circumstan

and they sent me, and i'm still there. i'm still there. >> what was it like for you working in such a male-dominated field? >> well, let me get into that. the men were coming back from the war. and the city room was crowded with women. and they began laying them off. and there was ann hutchinson, who was a woman who had come down from connecticut. she was kind of an elitist. there was marge -- what was margie's last name? i'll think of it. marge who had been an absolute magnificent reporter. older woman. she came from the hearst family. she wasn't a member of the family. she was in that arena. and myself. we were the three who were left. and i was amazed that i was left. well, then the undercurrents began with the men against us. at one point, and i loved the waterfront. and i did a great job there. i did personality stories. i did daily stories. there were a lot of strikes t n then. i ended up being the labor and the maritime editor. which was okay. around -- and i began talking a lot to all of the proprietors and entrepr

and part of what is important orienting students to campus and what they once ran and and that free speech it would be protected and that they should understand what they are getting into. >> with the free-speech high school the way the lights are managed and perhaps requires a whole book and then with the average high school it is highly regimented if you go to the classes you have to say you with a state-mandated curriculum that includes some elements of indoctrination this is inevitable sound needs to be seriously thought and some is getting worse and we don't have a complete answer and if i did i i did i could not sketch that all out but was the impact of free-speech college campuses these are caused by having this model of education. >> with education and training what role does that play to educate the civil debate? with that education and college is taken for granted with investment free-speech those that understood what they are getting into coming into an educational environment to be tested to push to unsettling ideas and we should recognize they don't understand what they are ge

teeth, and partial facial nerves and facial muscles and skin and replacing the full facial tissue.ational geographic who has done in depth reporting on the story says that only 40 people in the world have ever had a face transplant. what made her a good candidate? well, i think that in part, it was her, herself, the constitution that she had not just physically, but psychological psychologically. although, we all know how this happened. when we met katie and ultimately able to stabilize her and find out what she wanted out of life, she turned out to be a special person, and so as a result, the fact that is so extensive and mind you of the 40, very few have had a face transplant i ift -- if at all to this extent, and you add in her resolve, and to make her heal faster and perhaps handle this level of surgical endeavor, i think that these things made her a better candidate than say someone who is older and been through many years of other chronic problems unlike in this situation. >> well, dr. gasmtman, thank yo for telling us her story and we obviously wish her the very best in reco

veterans and seniors and working men and women across this country.nd we made it because we had a movement that was willing to fight uphill for working people. we were willing to do that. and ever since that rousing celebration eight years ago, i have left every netroots feeling inspired, determined, optimistic, and proud, proud of the movement that we have built together, proud of how tough and effective we have become. proud of the change we have made. and most of all, proud of the way we have held onto our values, the values that brought us to this fight. you bet. [applaus [applause] >> now, i never forget what brought me to the fight. i grew up in oklahoma. my oakies out there. you know, i grew up on the edge of the middle class. my dad worked a lot of different jobs. he ended up a janitor. he and my mom had three boys who all headed off to the military and then there was me. i was the late in life baby, referred to as the surprise. i was about 30 before i figured out what that meant.

strong and prosperous and governmentsthat are resilient, responsive and accountable . i want to read your language in your word because they are well aligned with our strategy. elements of our strategy in the indo pacific and then publicly articulated of course, recently secretary nice folk at the shangri-la dialogue in june to talk about the security aspects of our indo pacific strategy. many of you saw last week major events at the chamber of commerce, the indo pacific business for him, secretary perry, usa director breen, all talked about the economic development and energy aspects of our indo pacific strategy. so much has been articulated in public, i don't need to go through all of that but i thought i would use the brief time i have to talk about how we see these asia in the context of our indonesia strategy. so consistent with mike's report, we seek to maintain a free and open in the pacific region, we are nations with diverse cultures and different aspirations can prosper and freedom, peace and stability.by frequently nations will be free from coercion and able

congress demonstrates incredible complexity and give and take and back and forth a president does on a daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis in negotiating the congress, and the only thing students take from that, not your book, but wilson, is well, they rejected the treaty, let's move on. not seeing the interplay and difficulty there, and instead of approving the treaty, it's not a paragraph or noted in the paragraph about the treaty because it's atombed congress approves treaties, aexception i when they don't. i wonder if you could comment on the practice of writing a biography, on the one hand pointing out we want biographies to be comprehensive, but we all know as historians they can't be. there's some selection process that we go through to choose which things to tell about. talk about how you go about doing that, and in the case of jeff's book, he consciously chose not to talk as much or at all really about the domestic politi politics, wisely given that it's still, what, a 500-page book, jeff, so it's thick. [ laughter ] and that's one thing, but when it's a book like the a

marty russo and marty russo and. and dave evans and his wife am unsure if there is anybody else. i particularly think them and 30 other members of the class. and staff people and officers who participated in the research that went into this book. the interviews that i did with them provide a great deal of the intellectual material that informs the story in the message of this book. i am tremendously grateful to them to share humorous stories or poignant stearate stories that are consistently thoughtful and that are recorded in this book i will not try to tell stories i will not read the book you can do that on your own. but i do want to say that it is the power of the individual stories that cut through what is a very complex congressional history and procedure to explain working in that institution. also another class members here. i want to acknowledge his presence there is a terrific story shared with me from chicago the first time he as a candidate met the mayor of chicago, richard daley, did not go exactly as he

and also, i've adopted 22nd and 23rd street. i'm pleased to come here because associate capital asked for opinion on what their proposed project was thus far. i'm pleased to say i'm pleased with their plans. the breadth and the depth of their communication within the neighborhood has been outstanding. they've done it, they've had multiple invitations to tour the stack and the parcel, and they've provided the neighborhood with a lot of current and historical information i find very insightful and informative. it created a bit of a community just in their gatherings because they've offered to provide local food vendors and information, and that's been a valuable blessing to us. as the dogpatch association says, they've updated them regularly and enrique provides a very animated presentation, so it's very easy to watch. they've provided access to march management. the meeting times are very accessible. they range from the day times to late evening hours, and they genuinely seem to care about the way the space will be used and prese

we talk about apple and tesla all week and pfizer was up 6% and kraft hines up 7% and coarse up 8% and a big week for apple hitting a trillion dollar market cap up 9%. we thought it would be a good time to play trade it or fade it >> i think we understand. >> if you tell us if your trading it, and fading it, aka, selling it >> and we play this gaumme a lo and in this case, fade it is the right thing. fade it doesn't mean necessarily short it, but you had this big run-up and you have insider selling here take some off the table and fade it >> look at that chart, though. for a chart that's done nothing for the last three years, the technical guy in me tell us me this chart is breaking out >> it very well could be, right? you've had this massive run up here, why wouldn't you take a little off the table if you're a technical guy, buy it off support >> i think health care has been defensive. so if the market is going to turn around and you're looking for yield and if yields don't rise as fast as we think they're going to i think they'll be in the space. i'll own pfizer forever and i'll cont

because you do have the multiple formations and you have a pennant and a cup and handle and you haveterm setup and again, it's up 9% in the past month, beating the market, having underperformed it's quite right, i think, for something special. >> last word on disney >> think the critical point that i would make here is obviously, we've already had quite a move and i'm thinking half of that move is already done and that's why i'm willing it sell that option and because i would have thought it was a sharp move. >> now to the hottest tech stock of the year. that's advanced microdevices the chip stock is on an absolute tear it is up 80% in 2018 and in the highest level of more than a decade earlier this week dan you think it would be right for a breakout >> they actually guided below where a streak consensus was and it doesn't matter. when you look at a stock that's up 80% on the year like you just said act really well despite bad news it makes me feel like something's going on here. it's got a market cap and a really great balance sheet and not a whole heck of a let of debt and just a f

and experiences and recent developments in pakistan and afghanistan. mccain barely acknowledged my presence with a gruff grunt, and he seemed genuinely distracted and even annoyed as i was answering joe lieberman's questions. mccain looking around the room and barely paying any attention. and after ten minutes, john asked me three pointed and challenging questions, testing my observations and my conclusions, rattled, intimidated, i defended as best i could my eupbl sights before his -- insights before his withering questions. mccain grunted and stormed off and in the silence of the wake he left behind him joe lieberman leaned ever over and said i think he really likes you. how can you tell? to which lieberman responded he wouldn't have bothered asking you those questions or waiting for answers if he didn't think you had something to say. there followed invitations to travel that i accepted less often than i should have but three trips were especially memorable. visiting a refuge camp in jordan where hundreds of syrians literally just arrived fleeing th

and that was from national geographic and that cap getting bigger and bigger and always the last to know. [laughter] in three decades in the case of los angeles so i am curious i am curious how you condense that much time into one narrative. >> when i first started aboutt the time of the bp oil spill ans i want my readers to know the gulf of mexico more thanr hurricane allie and how this t rich history to restore the i identity and to do that i was, intimidated initially but as a biography have to go from geological formation to the the present and to organize the book is the natural characteristics of the gulf of mexico around the estuary's birds and fish andbar, beaches i don't want oil to dominate so to approach this chapter around these natural characters to bring that narrative alive and those foundf chapter 12 that is what natural characteristics of the island islands that i knew of walter before the first chapter i wrote for the book and he showed me the way with each of these characteristics and presented itself to me. formatie i would say probably mostas noni formativecti books
