read the letters from a birmingham jail. read the great passages from the classic history that's been written about the country, whether it's something that was written last month or something that was written 100 years ago. and let them discover not just the poll of history, but, again, how these people and those moments can come back to life if they convey with a powerful use of our language. and the -- i couldn't agree more about it has to be done early. if you want to get a child interested in the founding fathers, have them read a book called "ben and me" by robert frost. >> we do. >> do you know him? it's about a mouse who lived in ben franklin's attic. >> good. good. >> i encountered him when i was 6, and he said that all of ben's great ideas were wonderful, but they weren't ben's, they were his, amos'. >> right. right. >> it's very well researched and it's superbly written. i have used it with my own children, with my own grandchildren. it always works. >> all right. >> these things work generation after generation.

can see that right now current temperatures are in the triple digits for little rock, memphis, birmingham all the way into atlanta. charlotte, raleigh is at 105 degrees. and the forecast calls for this heat, this large dome of high pressure that worked its way in from colorado. remember we were talking about triple digits there earlier in the week. dropped further to the south and expanded well out there. that's why we're seeing these heat indices all the way up to 115 degrees. when is it going to get out of here? it's not going to happen tomorrow. it is going to take a day or two. even when the temperatures start to cool down a bit we're talking about a drop from 105 to 99. so we're still looking at extreme heat for the next few days and it's very, very dangerous out there. you know, another problem with heat, poppy, is that it's cumulative. you have days and days and days with exposure to extreme heat and that makes more heat-related illness and is one of the reasons it's so dangerous. >> absolutely. you point out so many people die from heat-related illness and think i'm fine and they

we forget that shortly after that four little girls were murdered in birmingham. remember? and king began to speak about his nightmare. but we freeze king in 1963. we freeze bayard, those of us who know about bayard mostly know of bayard in 1963. we forget that in 1966 he's calling for a radical redistribution of wealth and power in the united states. what we do with our heroes is freeze them in the time that is least threatening to us. we forget -- [applause] we forget those radical moments when they are coming into their own as civil rights leaders. and i think that in jackie's case we should not only hook at his time on the -- look at his time on the baseball diamond. he is a great civil rights leader on the baseball diamond, no doubt about it. but after he leaves the baseball diamond, you should hear him rip people to shreds, and i'm talking about politicians, for their discrimination. >> my small criticism, however, of mr. robinson was that he criticized willie mays for not being as active as he was, not taking into consideration willie mays was not college or is not c

would i slip him a piece of paper and pencil like they did martin luther king in the jail in birmingham? you bet i would. you bet i would. same thing applies to women. just because a woman has two children, sick husband, and wants to write copy doesn't mean that when she goes home and she can't drink beer in a bar with the boys that she can't do her best work. on the contrary. sometimes the work is extraordinary. sometimes the work is extraordinary when you're in the bus and you're on the way to a meeting. it really doesn't depend on the circumstantial evidence of work. work is what it is when it's presented. leadership. some interesting challenges with leadership, and we have a bunch of them of different flavors in our group. i can say that for women for the most part, whatever the challenges are, they seem to be driven by a bit more emotion than men. men's inabilities are pretty much based on their own physical and mental stupidity. you know. emotion doesn't figure into it. it's kind of over the top. so in some ways it's easier to conduct business with a guy who has a problem with lis

support work for the police and they're even now trying to get contracts bidding for contracts in birminghamand elsewhere to operate the detention facilities inside the existing police stations so you know this is a very bad a very dangerous idea to start with but this particular company seems to be about the worst you could pick in anywhere in the world to do this job we're talking about its history the firm lost its contract to the port failed asylum seekers in the u.k. last september following the death of a mango an asylum seeker who died after being restrained by its employees are you surprised that actually it still of allowed to operate. well that's. not saying trivializing the fact of that one death but there's also been seven hundred fifty plus complaints of abuse by g four s. employees this is a real serious problem the other thing that g four s. are doing is they're now operating private prisons too so we have a very dangerous organization the reason i say that is because what's happened is we've created by privatizing our prisons to people our g four s. an incentive a financial i

was enough of a threat that alabama dentists discussed it at a meeting in january 2010 at this birmingham hotel. >> o'briefrontline and the center for public integrity obtained an audio tape made by one of the meeting's participants. >> i think the dental establishment in alabama was shocked at our success. i don't know if it scared them, i don't know if it is because it was new-- maybe they didn't think of it. whatever the reason, i think we took them off guard by our success. >> o'brien: in 2011, the state's board of dental examiners, led by its president, dr. thomas willis, pushed legislation that would allow it to control sarrell and, jeff parker says, even shut it down. their big objection: it was run by parker, who isn't a dentist. >> we're talking about running and operating the clinic and setting standard operating procedures as, "this is how you will do the work and this is what work you could do." >> o'brien: some would suggest that that's about protecting turf. >> well it is, but you know, who best owns a dental practice? you want to go to a dental clinic owned by a used car sa

specifically for risks of heart attack and stroke, and there's a recent study from the alabama birmingham that spells out between how much sleep you get, you don't get and what it does to your health. dr. sue is with us now and she's a physician at the premiere care for women in atlanta. what kind of correlation are we talking about here? if you don't get enough sleep then your heart is working harder and leaving yourself more susceptible for strokes in your waking hours? >> sleep is vital to our health. while we're asleep our body heals cell damage and releases chemicals that help our immune system. we've seen studies that don't get enough sleep or shift workers who try to sleep during the day and not at night we know there's a problem with memory and we can see a weakened immune system and diabetes and heart attack. so there's a big, big impact and over what period of time, are we talking like, you do this over a period of years or perhaps even a period of months where you're not getting the kind of sleep you want and there are risks that come with it? >> you're right. we're talking abo
