when duye lost the election in november 1948, eisenhower lost interest in columbia.as a bigger prize at there, and that was the presidency. he became, while still president of columbia, the unofficial chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. the original legislation did not provide for a chairman. ike was the unofficial chairman. 234 january of 1951, president truman then headed nato to organize the military forces and nato. it was clearly the candidate of the liberal wing of the republican party. there was such a thing in those days. [laughter] for president -- taft was his opponent. they could not -- duey and general clay, sort of running eisenhower's campaign, couldn't get ike who was in paris to say that he was a candidate. ike kept putting -- they knew that he wanted to run, but they couldn't get him to announce he was going to be a candidate. well, in may, the republican national committee announced that douglas mcarthur would be the keynote speaker at the republican convention. clay, who had served with eisenhower and mcarthur and knew all of the details of thei

the interview was recorded in the king's college at columbia university's wool library.half hour interview as of the tv's college series. >> you are watching booktv on c-span 2. they go to universities to talk to professors who are also authors. right now we are at columbia university in new york city and we are joined by professor richard john, who is the author of this book, "network nation: inventing american telecommunications." so professor john, samuel morris invented the telegraph, yes or no? >> guest: no. we loved the heroic advantage and it turns out one recently the is because they think he needs of the promoters who are actually developing the networks that would prove so enormously important in an 18th century communications and communications today. so yes, samuel morris was a gifted inventor who had the good fortune to have a college classmate who began granting him an extremely broad that enabled him to supply the telegraph. he didn't succeed, but that was instant basis, planes that were then picked up by the second telegraph, the western union, to use the

home plate, for example, an area behind the columbia hills, is about 100 meters across. it might be a remnant of hot springs like those we find at yellowstone national park. so this is how planetary field science proceeds, by recognizing minerals, formations and processes that are familiar to what we understand on our home planet. the success of what's called comparative planetology on mars is partly why it's such an exciting place to study. we're on another planet, but it looks and feels a bit like home. now, just as the mer scientists make analogies with earth, my study of field science on mars started by comparing it to how field science is done on earth. since the late 1990s, i had been joining mars scientists on an expedition in the canadian arctic, a nearly lifeless landscape called heartened crater on devon island. the scientists chose this place because it is mars-like, allowing them to understand how and where life exists in extreme environments. and the expedition itself reveals how people might live and work on mars if they were studying the landscape there. a

i had a great secretary at columbia law school. she said, i am typing these briefs and all over the word sex is sticking out. the first association of that word is not what you want those judges to be thinking about. [laughter] use gender, it is a nice term. it will board often distracting associations -- ward off distracting associations. the message we were trying to get across is that when you pigeonhole people on the grounds of race, religion, whatever, and you do not lead them be free, people should not be held back by man-made laws from using whatever god-given talent they have. girls as well as boys should be free to aspire and achieve. >> what is interesting to think about it through 1971, over 100 years after the clause that forms the foundation of this doctrine was adopted as a case study in constitutional law, what lessons do we get from looking at this doctrine that did not come around until after 100 years -- how does that speak to issues are around jurisprudence? >> the original constitution included the bill of right

at columbia his grades are unknown. the contents are unknown. end the new york times wanted to interview people who knew obama when he was a student at columbia. people who may have room with him or janitors to clean his apartment. they couldn't find a single person alive who knew obama. and obama flat refused to provide any such information. obama recently in david maraniss's book about obama he names a girl who dated obama, claims she was the girlfriend that obama refers to in his own book but their stories don't match. when meredith went to obama obama said i had lots of girlfriends which is interesting because none of them have come ford. no journalist has interviewed many of them. this is a man with many black holes in his biography. i think this is the result -- when we were doing our film we would be in hawaii and indonesia and talked to people related to the obamas and knew his dad and his mom and a new young obama and i asked when rio interviewed and we have never been interviewed. no one has been down here so incredibly this is the big
