it's kind of like a catharsis in the cocoon. it's like, "ok, we're free." she's happy. i mean, i could never disagree with her at all, and now i can disagree with her, tell h i disagree with her, and she still likes me. it's like, "all right!" i think i'll keep her! stick around! i do a number of things, i guess, just when the mood strikes, and it's n the mood disorder. i like to... just two weeks ago, i went scuba diving down in my parents' lake and really did my first open-water dive there, and, uh...that was a great experience. uh, you know, i like to bicycle ride, and i'm involved in competitive volleyball at the "y." that usually carries over for about nine months. it will start again shortly, and i'm excited about that. i just really-- i mean, i love life. i think i have such a positive outlook. uh, there's-- i can't think ofnything i don't like to do.look. if i haven't done it i'll try it, you know? captioningerformed by the national captioning institute, inc captions copyright 1991 alvin h. perlmutr annenberg media ♪ for informio about this d other annenberg med

the polls began to close and he had to come out of his cocoon and campaign arduously for the last two weeks of the campaign will in dramatic speeches on the eastern seaboard. the polls had tightened to medically and he was receiving the returns as he always did in the dining room of the house and he saw something in the early returns that really troubled him. he turned to his secret service agent and he said close that door. i don't want to see anybody. the secret service agent said you and your family? bayh said anybody. and the door was closed. that agent said they never saw the president lose his nerve but he was sweating and he lost his nerve. he thought he was going to lose. what consequences that had no would not just immediately but long term. they helped shape the world beyond world war ii. it began the eclipse of isolationism because after this point they would be engaged in the rest of the world and they still are. this election because of the destroyer deal and the arrangement planted the seeds for the national security state that we are today and it changed the way that we

surround babies with a cocoon protection -- by asking anyone who is around your baby -- caregivers, siblings, even grandparents -- to get a whooping cough vaccine. and vaccinate your baby -- with all five doses starting at age two months. sig out symptoms of pertussis are much like a cold at first -- runny or stuffy nose.. sneezing and a mild cough.. ...but within a week or two whooping cough has a very distinctive sound... it's marked by a "whoop" when a child is gasping for breath after a severe coughing attack. ravens make room for eugene monroe... the player they cut making an already weak position weaker...next in sports unlimtied... a brawl... in a courthouse... the food... at the center of the fight... later on fox45 news at ten in the past couple of weeks there's been heated rhetoric, congressional votes, and presidential threats over obamacare. this much is certain. members of congress and their staff - who drafted and passed the legislation three years ago - get special subsidies not available to any other americans. in order to pay for their health care. they don't want obamacare.

you see, if you were re-making the movie, "cocoon" today, and came up with a character to replace wilfordbrimley, you would get george clooney, who is a-year-older than he was. that shocking bit of news, showing how well-preserved the movie stars are. for instance, would you believe that denzel williams is old enough to play matlock. when jack lemon starred in "grumpy old men," he was only two years older than jackson. the second most awesome thing on the internet today, windows to the soul. you're not looking at a kind of post-modern jack-o-lantern, it is a hse, made almost entirely out of windows. while this is not their primary home it is a wonderful retreat back to nature. no plumbing or electricity, but a whole lot of sunshine. whatever the deficiencies are, it has fake windows painted on it. fine if you're a vampire. not fine if you ever want to be outside. but to be fair, it is a lot safer than birds flying through this place. >>> and i'm not the only one who loves the pope. this kid loves him, too. during the vatican celebration, children were seated around the platform. and this

obama care as someone who wants to program to work and does not want to be in a reality allergic cocoon of telling myself what i want to hear. what should i think? >> badly. it has gone badly. i've been very, i've tried to be very up front about this with folks because i think it's you know, i think it is a very important thing for this bill to work. i think it is a very important thing for this country so people, for this law to work for our health care system to be universal or near to ewan ver sol sal or to be able to control costs. if you believe that, you should be that much more unsparing. about the fact they have not gotten it working. >> so, there are two things to worry about. one is that you've got this traffic problem, you've just got, they did not plan for the number of people coming to the exchange and they created a bad architecture will you have to sign in before you can shop for i guess. it's starting to get better. at one point, you could go through the entire process, but the other problem and the thing that i was hearing about a couple of months ago that i was talking

teacher: well, cocoons, what are you doing over here? child: this lives in the pond. are you at the pond now? yes, we're working on the pond. you're building a pond? yeah. what kind of things live at your pond? [children talking] hendrick: for example, asking children to discuss ways they could get water to the sandbox extends their problem-solving abilities while keeping the subject both real and relevant to them. what's more, they can make it even more real by trying out their ideas to see if they actually work. enhancing a child's language development doesn't mean that we have to be continually asking questions or even talking. we can encourage children to ask questions of each other and engage in interesting conversations among themselves. boy: no, you go to church first, then you go to chuck e cheese. i'm not going to chuck e cheese, only to church. girl: where did you get that thing? teacher: can you tell us about it? see, i ran 4 miles. 4 miles? that is really far. so there was a lot of water in case we got thirsty. oh, good. so they had water. did you get to s

i think all brats should be cocooned in bubble wrap, then inserted into an egg-shaped polyurethane containera plastic straw. then when they turn 18 we can hatch them like baby chicks and eat them. because that's all they'll be good for. in medicine, there's this thing called the hygiene hypothesis. that's a lack of childhood exposure to infectious stuff that boosts disease risk later. it's why some docs think playing in dirt is good for it helps build immunity. that's why i don't bathe. i don't know if this is true with bacteria, but i'm thinking it's true for spines. absurd efforts to shield kids from perceived risks like bruises or bullies creates weak adults, the kind who describe jokes as hurtful and words as insensitive, insensitive meaning they become leftists. understanding risk is the only way to navigate it. and while head injuries are nothing to laugh at, it's the fragile mentality of the sheltered that's a joke. the only thing worse than a crying child is a whining adult, and that's the one area i know we're beating china in. don't have much time here. andrea, it's true, lots of k

the fuselage around their seats protecting them like a cocoon.elievable survival becomes a national story, and pilot russ mowry is interviewed on the "today" show. >> my last thought was i wanted to get away from the street, wanted to hit a rooftop, get on the rooftop level. i saw that -- what i thought was a white chimney. i said, if i can hit that chimney and stop, that will arrest my forward motion. i'll stop when i hit the chimney and land on the roof. i thought, well, this is it. and it's over. and it was -- no flashbacks. i'm dead, and that's it. i woke up in the ambulance. >> mowry reports to the tower seconds before crashing that his tail rotor isn't working. an investigation concludes that a drive belt failed, causing the helicopter to lose all hydraulic power. >> that is the absolute worst thing to happen. that is a nightmare for pilots. and i knew it was going to be really, really ugly. i just knew that we were not going to come out of it. >> mowry does a superhuman job to control crash the aircraft saving his life, his passengers' and

what i found was i would go to work and come home and just want to cocoon myself.t didn't want to deal with anything. >> in the cases of somebody, a spouse passing away, you have kind of two complicated issues because now you're more alone, you're more isolated and you fill things up with stuff. a lot of times people with compulsive hoarding don't trust their memory. they're afraid they're going to lose whatever association or connectedness to the individual that they lost. >> early efforts to seek help from psychiatrists are unsuccessful. >> i never had the feeling that they really grasped what i was trying to say and they really understood. and, you know, it was really futile. and thousands of dollars for nothing. and you realize, well, this person's not helping me. so you go to the next one. they're not helping me, you go to someone else. they're not helping me. it eventually becomes apparent that i can spend a lot of time playing who is the right person or i can call it quits and try and do this on my own. and that's extremely difficult. it's overwhelming, the

political skills, with a knowledge of business and industry, who have lived real lives, not in the cocoon of the foreign service. c-span: by the way, is your colleague, who wrote this book with you, david frum, glad that he wrote the phrase "axis of evil?" >> guest: yes, i think he's glad, and i think subsequent events have demonstrated that the north koreans are the arms merchant to the others in the axis of evil. iran, which is the as yet unmolested member of the axis, is up to its eyeballs in terrorism. i don't think he would take that back, not for a minute. c-span: our guest has been richard perle, co-author of this book, "an end to evil." thank you very much. >> guest: thank you. .. vote republican in how could so many people get it so wrong? i think her question is apt. in fact, i think, it is in some ways the preimminent question of our time. people getting their fundamental interests wrong is what american political life is all about. visit booktv.org to watc

provide comfort food and something that would soothe you and contribute to the national mood for cocooningdal when she was hiding her diabetes, then signed a deal to shill for a diabetes drug, then admitted she used the "n" word that ended her deal with the food network. why did they support her during the diabetes episode but not now? >> she was still under contract then and they weren't actually supporting her. a lot of journalists, myself included because i was working on the book then, were getting calls from the head of public relations at the network who was getting consulted by a crisis management guy. what they were telling reporters was we had nothing to do with this as a network. this was a surprise to us. she's greedy and we don't like it. so when the "n" word controversy came about as a result of the lawsuit deposition that became public, and her contract was up, and the network was no longer getting great ratings for those traditional dump and stir cooking shows, the kind that we know from julia child, it was kind of an imperfect storm for paula and now that the network is a $

>> i think quite frankly if you're under the cocoon of washington, d.c., and you're back home, people want to elect people that are going to work to solve the nation's problem. i think democrats have said let's put a clean resolution on the floor. let's vote for it. let's work together. i think they're tired of the finger pointing. i think that's what this poll does show. i think that when next november election comes around they're going to look and vote for people that they think are going to work to make the country work. >> brad, those congressional approval numbers overall continue to drop. at this point, if the election midterm next year would happen today, i bet a lot of people would be concerned for their seats. >> there's no question about it. i think incumbents certainly have a lot to worry about. but having said that, historically in the last few years, congress's numbers have not been very good besides the shutdown. they've had a challenge that goes back far beyond the current crisis. because we've been dealing with crisis after crisis. remember, we haven't had a budget si

if washington continues to be polarized, have this ideological divide and live in a cocoon rather than the real world we're going to continue to have problems. >> you say we need to replace the debt ceiling all together. why? >> well, because we're the only country on earth that has a debt ceiling denominated in nominal dollars. we know by definition we're going to hit it. we just don't know how fast we're going to hit it but we know we're going to hit it. we need to impose statutory budget controls to constrain spending both tax expenditures and direct. we need a credit card limit. a constitutional credit card limit as to how much debt as percentage of the economy we can take on. you can only violate through a declaration of war or a super majority vote in the house and senate signed by the president. that will force the three issues that i talked about on the table. because we are on a path to go over any reasonable limit of debt to gdp after the ten-year horizon. and you got to start dealing with it sooner rather than ator. >> and standard & poors today said the shutdown has cost th

if you are living in a cocoon world of extremist ideology, you can come up with thoughts like that, and if you are only talking to other people who think the same way, you can kind of agree that that thought makes sense. but there is a little problem. reality wins. real always wins. they're playing with dynamite over there, and they're pretending that it's not even dangerous. it would be one thing if we understood that they respected how very dangerous the stunts are that they are pulling in the house republican leadership. it's even more dangerous when they don't appear to know the danger that they are causing for our economy. i hope that we will get back to work here in the senate right away with a bipartisan solution to this rather than allowing the house and the speaker to wreck the opportunity we had just as late as yesterday in order to play dangerous partisan games. we don't have the time for that, and it's the wrong thing. it's the wrong thing in a very immediate way in terms of the damage that it will do to our economy, to the world economy, to people across this country whose

as doug so aptly said, sarah created this cocoon of love around fdr.thers have memorably reconstructed to say sarah's love for fdr gave him the cushion to take the risk that he needed to leave later on. i think when they come together, we do not know a lot because eleanor burned the letters when she found out about lucy. we really cannot reconstructe that. what we can do is supposed based on the best evidence that we have got and i think that the record is pretty clear that fdr confided in eleanor his ambitions. she did not laugh at him. she saw him as this feral, handsome, charming hunk. everybody saw him as a dapper pretty boy. he was a hunk. if our views get to see him walking and swimming. he made her laugh. he could see and those sparkling blue eyes something that was there that other people do not see. the level of trust is there. that they stayed together for year despite his mom's best intentions to keep them apart and they have this very sort of teenage idyllic crush. they are too young to get married. they have hormones. and then they -- but

but certainly to the extent that we reduce the cocoon are the bubble in which people don't know someof the costs of care by pulling back on the all-encompassing nature of potential subsidies or coverage of those prices you will get some effects and we have seen that in the marketplace not dominating the market where there is more interest in can i do something other than go to the emergency room? there is certainly a corridor of decision-making in which many americans would be quite capable of using their money and managing it. wouldn't make perfect decisions but the decisions thus far aren't perfect either. we have a long track record of everybody else telling us what's good for us and that is produced to system we currently have. that would provide at least a window in that direction. i will stop at that point. it's not the end-all be-all because the hsa approach solely is the same type of thing driving people to one place as opposed to other options they may want to consider and we are thinking this is not only a financial issue or subsidy issue and still not talking about what ca
