that is how john came in third as there was a tie between jefferson and-- but john left the capitol city before the inauguration of thomas jefferson. he left at 6:00 in the morning, at daybreak and did not stay for the inauguration. he was so hurt. not only by losing office but his son, his second son had just died, and his son died that day. he learned that his son died the same day that he learned that jefferson won the presidency. he was not a happy camper that day, so he didn't stick around. are there other questions? well, thank you very much for coming and hearing about abigail incheon.

you got even deeper in the taliban world than swat which is, again, just a few hours from the capitol city of islamabad. can you tell us more about -- for instance, there's a marvelous passage about your summer camp day with the talibs. >> as a quick interlude there the guy who we were going to meet was this fellow named icabahan. he was a local taliban commander but not a hard core commander. there is a difference one the old generation in the new generation. so the night we met up with this guy he made a call. he toldes afterwards he called ahead, described our, gave our license plate, and the talibs parted their ways and let us through. this was so indicate testify of the important of relationships, particularly in the northwest frontier. we got to this guy's house, and we broke the fast, it was during ramadan, and then we start talk about life in swat, and he started showing me dvds and videos of talibs attacking americans in afghanistan and iraq, which was six hours from the capitol. i was in the middle of nowhere, i wasn't about to say my dad and brother are part of the army. so i ch

when i do a film i go to the capitol city to see the great museum and by this excited to go to the great museum for the persian culture. 2500 years ago the greatest culture. ancient sites between the mediterranean and india and i had a big part of the script written to the empire. i got there and it was pathetic, a couple of dusty faces it seemed like. i was traumatized. i got the curator and said where is the great art? i am making a tv show. i need something that looks impressive. are you guys like the greatest a long time ago? and he said if you want to see obra great art, you need to go to the great cities in western europe because that is where it is. now again, we might say get over it there's more important things but no, that hurts when you are a proud civilization and your things are in another country and nobody goes there to the persian one of the louvre it's not even appreciated and should be in tehran and it's not there so there's a lot of that baggage going on. they just lost a quarter of a million people fighting the guy named saddam hussein funded by the united states in

when he ran for mayor of iran or tehran, the capitol city he ran on preparing the way for the coming of the islamic messiah and taking the trash out. i am not kidding. you will see that he called himself the little street sweeper. that was his claim to fame. i will get the garbage taking care of, the traffic in the garbage and will prepare the way for the messiah because we can't have traffic and garbage in the mistreats when the messiah comes, apparently. when he decided in april 2005 to run for the presidency of the country of iran, there bruneau reporters that showed up at his press conference. the first poll put him at 2.8% support. even mike candidates had higher numbers than that. [laughter] see what i am saying? two months later, he was the president of the country. how that happened i described in the book but you have to understand from his perspective, he believes he has been chosen like allah, to be john the baptist, to prepare the way for the coming of the islamic messiah and nothing is going to stop him short of a miracle of god and that is what we need to be praying fou

but you got even deeper in the taliban world and swat, which is again just a few hours from the capitol city of islam a lot on the other side of the indus. can you tell a little bit more about for instance there's a marvelous passage in the book about your summer camp with the talab and you got to see the ministers and local justice. >> guest: as a quick interlude the guy we were going to beat that night was this fellow that was a local taliban commander and he wasn't part of the hard-core taliban, and this -- on of the themes of the book is illustrating the divide between the old generation of taliban and the new generation of taliban. so the night we eventually met up with this guy he made a call and said he told us after he called ahead, described our car, given our license plate and the talib as i described part in debates and lead us through and this is so indicative of the importance of connections and relationships in pakistan but particularly the northwest frontier province. so we got to this guy's house that might and broke the fast, it was during ramadan and after we broke the fast

important for the city of london and wall street but by and large wasn't being covered so i thought about making noise about that and one thing led to another and i moved across to the capitol markets team in early 2005. and at this stage, that wasn't viewed as a particular glory promotional move. and the running capital markets pages on covering the debt markets for many years in a very sort of manner but, you know, the glory positions were the banking editor, the economic editor, things like lex. it wasn't like the capitol markets that sat in the attics away from the news room and most capital markets coverage was on page 423. one person as i was moving across pointed out to me because i had just gotten pregnant fault moving to capital markets would be great for a new mom because it would be quiet. nothing ever happened in credit and debt. [laughter] i cannot. but i arrived in capital markets and one of the first things i decided to do, and this is where the story of jpmorgan group comes into being was to go down to attend a conference of a body called the european securitization forum that they held once a year. so i went down and walked into the center, a great bit of f
