and so it was done in berlin in german on a double bill with beckett's krapp's last tape. and i think that fact, which got picked up by the new york times, you know-- "young american playwright has to go to germany to have his first work done, and not even in english"-- i think that instantly made the play producible in new york city, because six months later, it was done off-broadway in english on the same double bill and ran for four years. so i quit my job delivering telegrams for western union-- [laughter] and settled in to be a playwright. now, do you speak or write german? no. no. it's a very strange language. do you speak it? no. no. you know, the verbs are at the ends of the sentences, so you can go along, you know, for a page and a half, not knowing what anybody is talking about, and then, all of a sudden, bang, at the end, there's a verb. but you had this-- this added advantage of sitting there the first time you watched it and not being able to say-- or disadvantage-- not being able to say, "you're butchering my dialogue." you didn't have a clue, did you? well,

i discovered the other day that beckett's first book sold three copies. they are distribution problems. [laughter] you know, those books would not be published by a large firm. there's no way it would get through the machinery. when i interview young people wanting to work with us, they know there is a profit and lost sheet kept on them, the amount of money made by each book is recorded, and they know the last decimal point, what their per percentage is. that's an effective way of controlling people because if you're going to threaten your career by publishing the kind of book, you know, you're going to think twice, and it's interesting that over the years, you know, we've talked an enormous amount of how dictatorships control the pleases, how people with controlled under the communism regime. the capitalist control is every bit as thorough. you're not going to get away with murder or even one book in a large firm no matter how good it may be, and that's a major change. >> let's go back to the 60s. in the 60s, we lived under capitalism. here's a list of b

i know you have already had evidence from margaret beckett and john reed, who said they were fully awareof what was the -- what was going on. and i might also say that subsequent to sir stevan will's the evidence i have had four members of the cabinet, colleagues at the time, coming up to me to express astonishment that he thought that they were unaware of the alternatives and were not briefed, an absolute astonishment. so they were briefed on the military options as well? >> yes. i think again he would have to ask them if the prime minister, because obviously i was completely in the loop on all this, but those who wanted -- my understanding is, and this is second hand -- those who wanted briefings on the intelligence received it. >> you got briefings on the military? >> i received that anyway. i was in it is very different -- i was aware of this. i was in a very different position from most members of the cabinet. >> mr. blair told us in a statement last month it was clear from the continuing discussion with the u.s. in late 2002/to those in three that march was the likely date for the

. -- gary beckett. i guess in one sense you decide this is not a crisis now, but i would contend that 1.5 trillion dollar deficit is a huge thing and we will pay interest on that forever, presumably. interest is crowding out so much of our future potential to invest, as the president would say, in the things we would like to spend money on. it's a point to be a big thing even if the interest-rate stays at the rate the cbo projects. mr. malpass, you did not comment, i don't think, on the rogoff-reinhart theory, but adds that if you get debt so high, it reduces growth and puts you into a serious stagnant position. do you agree with that theory and does that provide greater urgency for us at this point in time? >> i think it definitely does. as more and more of the economy is directed by the government, as the debt goes up, that reflects the dow government directing more parts of the economy and the growth rate goes down. -- reflects the the government. we have seen that over recent decades. it is a grave

there's a quote in a play by samuel beckett called "waiting for godot," but the quote is applicable. it says something to the effect that this time, in this place, at this very moment in time, all mankind is us. and in many ways, mr. speaker, all man kind should be with the egyptian people. it's quite true that the egyptian people are not supportive of america's foreign policy. at least washington's foreign policy. but they are certainly supportive of america's fundamental values. and in fact, that's what motivates this revolution. this protest was not started by the muslim brotherhood who may, at most, be 20% of the american people and foresworn violence and in fact, al qaeda's second in command has issued any number of critical statements of the brotherhood. that's not who is leading this. they may be jumping in now to take some advantage of it. but this was led by young, well-educated, men and women. very similar in motivation to those that led the american revolution. for the most part, these are folks like the google executive who yesterday explained that he could well lead a li

. >> everything that i understand from the bill and having beckett ejected and knowing how we are going to reduce costs, one of the thing we try to do is give people choices. we have the choice of plans to the federal health employment benefit plan. this new law will give a lot of americans a choice in what plan they decide to select. >> many choices. >> just as other members of the federal government received government support to help pay for the cost of your health care plan, so wonder this new historic law will americans get support for the cost of those health care plans. >> that is correct. >> some would say that is a government takeover. i think i did a quick survey. that plan as a result of the historic passage of health care reform last year which now gives americans those same choices of options that will be available with some federal subsidies is very similar to what we get each and every one of us members of this committee get for health care as well. the subsidy for members of congress for their health care in the employee health-care benefits plan is actually greater than

i know you you already had evide from margaret beckett and john reed who said they were fully aware ofwhat was going on. i might also say that subsequent to steven moore's evidence, i've had former members of the cabinet, colleagues at the time, coming up to me to express astonishment that he thought they were unaware of the alternative and were not brief briefed. that's absolute astonishing. >> they were briefed on the military options as well? >> yeah, you'd have to ask them and the prime minister. because obviously i was completely in the loop on all of this. those that wanted -- my understanding is, and this is secondhand, they wanted briefing about military options or indeed the intelligence. they received it. >> i knew that anything. i wasn't aware of this. i was in a different position than most members of the cabinet >> mr. blair told us in the statement last month it was clear from the continuing discussion in the u.s., late 2002, early 2003, that march was the likely date for military action. was that also clear to you at that time? >> yes. was date was he talking about? well
