we discovered that we both had an older brother thing that she had a brother who was as mysterious tomine was to me. it was so perfect, cynthia, we had launched on our brothers. we stayed there for the next 3 hours, and closed the cafe. sara said this brother sister thing is huge and no one writes about it, no one talks about it, the affect our brothers and sisters has on us. this is your next book, this is what you need to write. are you kidding me, i could never write anything so personal, never. that is how it started. when you >> when you were working on this, friends, you would talk about my relationship with my difficult older brother, what happened? what doors opened up, what did you learn about what people carry around about their siblings? >> it is huge. so many share this. it is like the asian flu. the first year of trying to work on this, i couldn't do it, so i approached it like a reporter. i was dancing around what it was really about, which is the red hot emotions between the 2 of us and where it had come from. i spent a year reporting, interviewing every expert, i flew

the book is written as a drama between a brother and sister. it is a double family story of how skewed and blind our perceptions. it is written in dramatic themes. it takes place from the tormented younger sister's view. one of the most challenging aspects and excruciating painful for me writing apples and oranges and say what is my responsibility here? how can i put this on the page? how i drove my brother crazy. >> one of the things i want to ask you about, your books, you are known as an investigative reporter, long complex narratives involving dramas and situations. i am curious to know what was hardest about memoir with somebody living their life as a working journalist? let me preface it a little bit with someone who has similar tendency. this is from 2005. i would like it if you would read from here. >> perfect. yeah. this is a moment in the book where, i am kind of flipping out writing about my brother. i am listening to tapes, because of course i have gone back to the orchards, my brother has died at a young age. i have gone back to th

this is a lunatic thing my brother is doing with these apples. when i sailed down this huge area of fruit country, imagine after 9/11, apple country at harvest, thousands of acreage, beautiful skies. i got tears. it was like america the beautiful. it was so rural. it was such a different world for me. the first sighting of my brother. he didn't know i was coming was at the packing house. i remember seeing him, millions of apples coming down the flumes. my brother was looking at every single piece of fruit to be sure it was shipped correctly. he was to tender. i was seeing him from a long shot. i thought oh my god, all he needs is a sweater, he'd look just like are mr. rogers. i began to realize i didn't get it. that was the beginning. then i began bombing him with questions about apples and fruit. there was one moment that did change things in my perception, which is we were walking one day, i worked the fields and packing house routine, 5:00 a.m. routine. we were walking at dawn with the pickers who were all working, my brother was walking ahead

we're talking about the farrelly brothers.he writer/director duo who have taken crass to the bank. is it a guy thing? david wright takes a look for our series "seriously funny." >> ahhh! >> we got a bleeder! >> reporter: if there's such a thing as the anthesis of the chick flick -- that's the genre mastered by the farrelly brothers. whether it's "dumb and dumber" or "there's something about mary," they specialize in a brand of humor that's guy centric. movies like "stuck on you," about two brothers literally joined at the hip. >> siamese twins ain't the easiest i've ever had. >> we're not siamese, we're american. >> reporter: they're the cinematic authors the frat pack, writing, producing and directing movies that unapologetically go for belly laughs. it feels to me like you guys do guy humor. is that fair? >> absolutely. >> we probably have definitely done a lot more guy humor than girl humor. our new movie "hall pass." >> reporter: not exactly a chick flick. >> it's about marriage. we try to make sure the girls are well repr

well by now most americans have heard of the koch brothers but do they really know who these ten two men are they're businessmen who are known for throwing their weight behind the political issues that favor their agenda and for the past eight years david and charles koch have been hosting an annual meeting with some of the wealthiest americans to figure out how to better shape u.s. policy according to their names and on this year's agenda you'll find her peeling health care reform defeating president obama in two thousand and twelve and figuring out how to give corporations more influence over our daily lives but this time around the meeting is not going on noticed artie's are among the lindo has more. i and. what was supposed to be quiet retreat in an exclusive southern california resort became a rallying cry for angry progressive's who say americans freedom and liberty are being bought and sold we don't want to have excessive money being spent to buy policy we don't mind people contributing to politics but when you're trying to buy legislators and by legislation just protect your

yet the older brother, the imperfect brother did not. there is this great line at the end where the younger brother turns to his brother and says why is it that you win? how do you win? that's the difference between you and me. when i'm swimming out, i'm not saving anything to come back and you are. and there is this notion, i think, that there is no gene for the human spirit. that's the punchline of the movie. it turns out if you look at the successful record of immigrants to the united states, whether skilled or unskilled, documented or undocumented, across the last 200 years and particularly in the last 25 years and with the great renaissance of data that we now have at our disposal to analyze more clearly the impact of all types of immigration from 1990 forward, we realize that immigrants, again, skilled and unskilled, lawful and undocumented, bring to the effort of community building and business building and economy building something that is moderately intangible for now. if we work at it for a few more years it will be tangible a

i saw her walking around with all the rest of the brothers. i thought maybe she had something that she did not want to give us. [laughter] that is righteous. i respect that. whenever you have to do. then she got me into the interrogation room and she said to me, you say you have education. where did you go to school, high school? public-school of new york. this does that add up. i skipped two grades before college. where did you go to college? how did you pay for college? you went to grad school? how did you pay for law school? what did that have to do with my case? i was just going with the flow. finally, she said to me, it is my professional obligation to inform you -- not only as an attorney but as a registered nurse acting as a dentist -- you may have a bipolar disorder. she said, it is nothing bad. something -- sometimes people create alternate realities for themselves as a coping mechanism for how to deal with stress. i was like, are you saying i am crazy? she did not believe anything that i said. she said, when it comes to the judges, d
