the ash council.hat led to then in turn the recommendation to the president that there be an environmental protection administration, the epa. poussaint: it was a rare birth. a new federal agency had been born out of the recognition that the environment needed help. the public recognized the problem, and the government was reacting to public pressure. ash: fortunately the founding fathers and our constitution allows for flexibility for government to evolve as society evolves. poussaint: but the evolution of the environmental protection agency demanded that nixon appoint someone to lead the agency who would win the immediate bi-partisan support of both the congress and the public. mister chief justice, ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today for a ceremony in which we will have sworn in the first head of a new agency. poussaint: nixon selected william ruckelshaus, a popular assistant attorney general.

. >> with more on the issue of gas prices and what we're paying at the pump, we're joined by avery ash, the manager of regulatory affairs for the aaa here in washington. >> happy to be here. >> let's get to the basic issue. why are prices up and why this time of year? >> yeah, you know, there are a number of factors at play here as to why gasoline prices have been rising across the country. you know, the major reason hope to is that crude prices are higher. crude's obviously the major component that goes into gasoline prices, about 75, 76% of each gallon of gasoline is due to crude prices. we have seen crude prices higher to begin the year here. and that's due to i an number of factors. we've seen improving economies around the world, including in europe and the u.s. so that would be expected to put upward pressure on crude oil prices. we've had also seen increased uncertainty from geopolitical tensions with iran. those tensions as well would be expected to put upward pressure on crude oil prices which we've seen this year. >> in the mid-atlantic region, prices are about $3.80 to $3.90

so we took some beats and layered some ash and hot coals and put the beats on top. more hot coals and ash around them. just let them sit there for about three hours. baking beats is a great way to make them nice and sweet. >> apple pudding? >> we have bird's nest pudding which is essentially just apples that have been peeled and cored. then a custard of milk, eggs, a little cinnamon and sugar poured over that. a very simple dish but something we would eat right along with our meal as part of our meal. that includes the apple pie next to it. apple pie is not generally a dessert. often it's eaten along with our meal whether it be breakfast or dinner at noon or tea in the evening. >> what's in the spider on the hearth? >> we have some parsnips. first boiled in milk. we pat them dry a little bit, fry them in butter. we add the milk back in with a little bit of mace and a touch of nutmeg. that's a wonderful sauce to have over your lovely parsnips. >> the flavor of the parsnips? >> it's probably better to eat them in the spring. they're one of the few vegetables we can ac

and so ash carter asked for this report. and let many tell you what i think happened. i'm going to be very cynical here. so don't be too shocked. i think the defense science board inadvertently hired some contractors to do the study who actually did a study because the people who signed these documents when you get into the pentagon you know that the people who sign these documents have nothing to do with what the study is. they were so careless -- i say careless because i'm ascribing a motive of concealing information from you, the american people. they were so careless that when the unclassified version of this document was put out, they inadvertently spilled the beans. so let me tell you that this document that the deputy -- current deputy secretary of defense asked for and is out in the open. send me an e-mail, i will send you the letters that the colleague and i wrote to the national security adviser just a month ago. we haven't received a reply to it. but there's going to be a newspaper article on it. the defense science board report stated the following. none of

besides, to conclude before 1989 that the soviet union would actually be relegated to the ash heap of history was not only unthinkable to the cia, it was also unthinkable to the kgb. during the whole of the reagan administration, such thinking was pie in the sky. believed singularly by ronald reagan, we policy wonks, the real soviet experts, we knew better. but we were wrong. i remember telling president reagan one time, or three times, in fact, that i said, "mr. president, you know, since 1917 some 35 countries have gone from capitalism to communism. not one country has ever gone from communism to capitalism. and it's unlikely that it's going to happen anytime soon". he looked at me, shook that head of his in his wonderful way, said, "thank you, ken. that's very interesting. thank you, ken". and then went on to say it again a few minutes later. for ronald reagan to believe that we could and would win the cold war and fairly soon, that idiosyncratic view is more than just, as shakespeare would say, passing strange or of academic curiosity now. for it had real policy consequences then.

they're busing in a number of people from ash the state to san quentin. and you can find information about this action online. so what i try to do on the show is really talk about solutions, because i mean, the fact is, we know what we need to do, right? we know the solutions. it's just there's no political will. and what i hope to accomplish tonight is to really get past the sort of call your congress person. that's not allowed in tonight's discussion. i want to try to bring in something new, and something exciting. because i find a lot of these talks tend to sound very similar. and that's one of the complaints i have when i leave these talks, people say, okay, we need something new. and that's what's so exciting about occupy. the answer that tends to come out of that question is it always goes back to money and politics. that's the problem here. and we're going to spend a significant amount of time really talking about that. and is speaking of money and politics, president obama will be in san francisco tomorrow neat. his first stop will be at a small,

that no one's fanning; they felt they were legitimately fanning those ashes that reverend williams talked about, and we know what happened from there. so let me start out with the first part of the interview. we'll have time for some questions; then i have actually a second part where she gets very, very open about how jones actually worked the group and what happened. so the first part of the jonestown interview. >> i haven't been here for a couple of years, but my nephew, jim-john, is buried here along with about 250 or 300 other children and unidentified people who died in jonestown, guyana. and every year, they have a ceremony - people who were relatives, family members, friends, come to remember the people and the lives that they led before they died on november 18, 1978. the san francisco council of churches, under the auspices of the guyana emergency relief committee, actually got the money to bury the unclaimed and unidentified bodies here, at least about 300 of them. they tried to get them buried in various cemeteries in the bay area, but first they'd arranged with one, and then

in an envelope, and they go to the cemetery just as it's closing and sprinkle her ashes over george's and rub it into the ground. so they were together at last. one thing about my buddy george, he was not sort of a pillar of social awareness. he definitely didn't like anybody who wasn't white. the real reason eisenhower canned him from third army was not really as much for the comparing the nazis to democrats and republicans, was he left a lot of the jews still in their camps after liberation and put ss guards on the camps. at first this was a good idea, because these people had been starving to death for years. we need to regulate their food intake and all this kind of stuff. it's famous that patton threw up when he first went into one of these concentration camps and was disgusted with nazi philosophy. he wrote about it extensively. so as they're trying to reestablish these, what are called displaced persons, they bring in a whole bunch of sort of mobile port-a-potties, so you guys need to assemble these. thels people haven't had any decent treatment in years, so the equipment just
