but to go back now to atlanta atlanta had been destroyed by the confederates. what had happened is that the munitions and weapons of war and real way station in atlanta couldn't be taken out of atlanta because of the entel was besieged. what they do? jset fighter to the railway station, and all the trains in the station just loaded with ammunition were burned. they exploded. they created a firestorm over atlanta and that firestorm over away untouched is what you saw in gone with the wind. it was done by the british and by sorry, it was done by the english. i will keep trying. [laughter] it was done by the confederates and the confederates had to get more supplies eventually from the english and blockade runners. even the blockade runners were built by the english and turned over to the confederates to bring supply from england. but most of atlanta was destroyed. there was nothing there. very few people remained because there was little to ease, little of anything to keep them going. a few factories remain in the outlying areas, race mills, cotton gins and befor

i am here in atlanta not only because my wife told me to live in atlanta, but because andrew young is here and andrew young is my personal hero and my mentor and my role model. i absolutely love this man. as far as i am concerned he is our domestic nelson mandela. he is the closest leroy going to get to nelson mandela here in north america. [laughter] >> not lately. >> that is an interesting point because often people don't think andrew young has ever gone to jail and the civil-rights movement and without getting off message i think this is the same message so i am going to answer your question. it is not well-known that dr. martin luther king did not want andrew young here. he needed him outside to be the rational, the ambassador, the guy who talked to everybody, the guide that it would keep the movement killing. he needed somebody let good common-sense and common sense is not so common, to keep the program of thing. often time when dr. king was marching when you didn't see andrew young and does.us it was because he was meeting with 100 business leaders in those towns. he said andy,

atlanta, hello. atlanta, hello. >> caller: yes. mr. king? >> larry: what?e his father is a prominent nigerian, reported him to the american authorities, why was he not placed on the no-fly list? >> larry: harvey, why wasn't he immediately placed on the no-fly list as soon as the father reported animal. >> well, as said before by some of our guests, you know, it depends on the information that i think his word should have been looked at much more carefully than other tips that do come in. >> larry: jack, harry was just telling me that our agents sometimes go through practice runs, try to break security. are they often successful? >> it has happened multiple times where they are successful. look, i got grabbed when i was on my way in to delhi from afghanistan because i fit the profile of a drug runner. yeah. nice, huh? but the thing they put me off and i sat in a glass cubicle for about 3 1/2 hours. so we need to think about the prospective end of this. think about what happened. we had specific intelligence regarding what the father said, regarding how this

malone the freshman out of atlanta. they brought him in there to shoot. one on the shot clock and waller did not get it off. auburn lost track of the shot clock. >> daymeon: if you are auburn right now that has to go to the point guard and go to tay waller as well. two veteran guards right there. you have to know where the shot clock is. virginia, though, give them credit for playing good defense and continuining to know where the shot clock was and contesting and making it difficult for auburn to get any plays. >> matt: the key for virginia will be can they continue this? they had a six-point lead against penn state in the big acc challenge and then had the lyons rattle off a 27-3 run to start the second half in what tony bennett called a gut wrench is loss to penn state. >> daymeon: got to try to establish some type of inside presence. >> matt: auburn has gone nearly six minutes without a score. >> daymeon: right now landesberg has -- with both guards inside he has the size advantage and athleticism. >> jontel evans. reed pushes it up the floor for the

in atlanta, president of cornwell. and described him dollars an a cleaner, a man with making high profile athletes problems disappear. pat o'brien, you know him, you have interviewed him. how surprised were you? >> i was surprised, larry, i think in this day and age, nobody goes undefeated. and that includes tiger woods, i think he's a victim of his own image. the one that he set up for himself. i'm a little more surprised that it's getting as much or more coverage than the 30,000 men and women we're sending to war from the speech of obama the other night. you know what which he pointed out in the statement that was five days late, he's human. these things happen. >> larry: was it too late, howard? >> it was too late. it was the second statement. and i think there's a better way to do it than another statement. i think people wanted to hear tiger. people like tiger. they want to hear him. when you don't -- >> larry: he should have done what, radio? >> he should have called you literally on the air. called somebody he w

signed out of south atlanta high school in atlanta. virginia answers with their own three. that is the second three-pointer for jeff jones and he has eight, the. >> daymeon: if you are auburn, you got to find out where he is at. no matter what the scouting report says, when a guy knocks down three of them, you have to watch him. >> daymeon: reed a guy who tries to pick it up when feels like his team needs it the most. a scoring point guard from that position. >> matt: the rebound knocked out of bounds by auburn. bad luck on that one. 7:43 left in the first half and the virginia cavaliers coming out strong. dewayne reed trying to keep the auburn tigers in the ballgame. - basically, it's about symmetry. - ugh! i'm good. to be honest here-- ugh! ah! - hooked it. - i'm good. - my bad. - i'm good. i'm the ma-- ugh! i'm good. - ready? - no. ah! oh! - announcer: men can take anything... - i'm good. ...except the taste of diet cola, until now. pepsi max. the first diet cola for men. ahh, this is good. >> matt: 7:43 to play in the first half. virginia with the 25-16 lead over the au

british petroleum and kuwait, which used to be the gulf oil companies, oil installations, property in atlanta, et cetera, even though he were seemed to be conservative and traditionally risk-free in contrast to some of saudi arabia's which were even more traditional and conservative. the total amount that they have invested abroad is roughly $1 trillion. half of that is in the united states. and there has been no economic pressure that comes to my mind since march 19th, 1974, which when the last oil embargo was terminated. and there's been an interlocking of financial and economic and increasingly commercial linkages through a degree of interdependence and a mutuality of benefit and a reciprocity of reward that was probably not even dreamed of two decades ago. as well as the number of american companies based in the dccc region have not doubled but they've increased themselves by 50% in the last five years. they are up from 500 companies to 750 companies in the dccc region. so at the corporate level and also at the intergovernmental level, there's a greater degree of us-ness and strategic sim

. >> the atlanta compromise speech. in order to get to that, the u.s.background on who booker t. washington was, when did he live, and obviously the story of how he started. >> agree to washington was going a slave in 1856 on a small farm in virginia, and he was freed in 1865 when the civil war was over. he then moved to west virginia with his family, where even as a young boy, he was a laborer in the salt industry. this was a big salt industry. so he worked as a child, as a child laborer, and had a tremendous drive to learn to read and read and write. as many did. you have slaves, and in most places it was against the law to teach him to read and write. so the desire to learn how to read the bible was very strong. so a lot of schools thought that he was very good at that. and he later went with the hampton institute down in north folk -- north took -- norfolk. at the age of 25, he went off to alabama to start a school. there were no buildings, notebooks, nothing. so he started from scratch and brought in at tuskegee institute in that region, and he bec

there are a lot of crew members who fly to atlanta to go to work.to be addressed about the initial getting to work, commuting to your job as a crew member which has to also increase the wear and tear on the crew members. i'd like to discuss that. the second thing that i'd like to have the comment on, what availability for sleep rooms are there for pilots? how good are those sleep rooms? is this something that's being discussed as providing place as where pilots can sleep in between flights. something that's not going to be a place where they are sitting in a lounge where they are not going to really get good rest. but where they have an opportunity to get in a cot or bed and get some real sleep between flights. and the third thing is, who's in charge? my sense, and may be it's wrong, that the pilot is in charge. are there supervisors that are at the airports, looking over the pilots, maybe other senior pilots and say, you know, captain prater is too tired. he just came in hong kong, he thinks he can go on the flight. i don't think he can. i'm going

i watched our daughter, michelle, and the people who are with our in hands on atlanta and now points of light. i think it is being done now. on the military side, here is one example -- i was told this week in afghanistan that one of the things that is astounding is we have 68,000 troops in afghanistan that is a very tough set of problems. for every military person, we have one contractor. there are 68,000 contractors. the debate is whether we have for -- we add 40,000 more troops and you will have to multiply that by two because of the way the military structure. we have very serious challenges in the manpower and womanpower area of the military. >> the first lady has said that national service should be part of what america is all about. how will you do that? it is on your shoulders and maybe two or three others? >> what you were describing and what senatorny nunn is talking about, that is out here. we see it all over the nation. you think about 20 years ago when president bush was first talking about points of light, we have gone to an additional 23 million people participated in
