i had been engrossed in that kind of research at columbia. to this day, i still don't know what bill did, as close as we, are to this day. it's just a new word into us. i don't know what bill did, but i did learned through other sources what audrey did, and she had a masters degree in chemical engineering, as i recall. she had a very important job. so we had a good social life, not to draw too much on, it but to make it clear, it was not easy to get into that place with the gates. there was the military, police, the military police had their own enclave. they were not barrack and with the special detachment. they manned the gates and if you passed by the corridors, you might glimpse that there were some horses there and i later learned that they had horseman who used to ride around the perimeter of the 60 square miles, i believe, ride around and patrol those fences. i learned so much in the last ten years that i never knew. came hiroshima and nagasaki, and we continued to work. some of us were given options to go to mick bikini. i turned that

and a boom town formed around the columbia river in eastern washington state, where the columbia pushes west. this was a secret town built overnight with 100,000 people in an area that was supposed to be the grand promised land. 100,000 people. one historian found this written on a bathroom wall. come on you oak ease, let's take japan. we took on california and never lost a man. it was a secret. the boom town was all working in secret. and then on august 6th, 19 or five, there was a four inch title in the local newspaper with this headline and lots of exclamation points. it is atomic bombs. the secret was out. this boom town, the thrown together series of boom town industries, had been proven to build the world's most powerful weapon. planned promised land was a bust. it never came together. it never happened to this day, as a matter of fact. the number of acres designated for the grand coulee, is nowhere close to what roosevelt envisioned as a place where people could relocate. a lot of people from oklahoma did come to central washington and ended up working in a plant somewhere. inste

signed the district of columbia is compensated -- columbia's compensation emancipation act. this act provided for compensated emancipation whereby slave owners who made an oath of loyalty to the union and voluntarily emancipated their slaves would receive financial compensation, up to $300 for each individual they emancipated. the act was passed nearly nine months before president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation on january 1 of 1863. it's not surprising that britannia kennon's name cannot be found among the surviving records of district slaveowners who sought emancipation as it is doubtful she would be willing to sign a loyalty oath to the issue given her southern sympathies. after she made the decision to take in boarders in 1863, she hired two irish immigrant servants, a maid and cook. another tragic episode that britannia does not directly address in the conversations with her grandchildren is the death of her husband, beverly kennon, when she was 29 years old. commodore kennon was one of the six victims killed when a gun exploded during a firing demonstratio

district of columbia versus howler. can you talk a little bit about what the facts were in that case and why the case is so important? >> the supreme court had mentioned the second amendment over the years, it had very strenuously avoided ruling of what's the meaning of the second amendment was. so, despite the fact that we know in our culture that everything ends up in the supreme court, eventually, the supreme court was determined for many decades not to rule on the second amendment. they just love that to the lower courts and to the legislature's. this heller case was the first time, not only the supreme court, unambiguously held at the second amendment protection individuals right to own guns for personal protection. but the first time that the court struck down a law that a gun control law for violating the second amendment. and a law was struck down was a law in washington d.c., it was a ban on handguns, but also a ban on the use of long guns for anything but recreational purposes. so you could own a rifle or shot

one of the 4% at columbia and that's the 4%.could you expand more on the regular and of drugs and drug markets and does that mean we should sell, for example, fentanyl in shops? told them about been small because what you told me was interesting. >> what part? >> how long it has been around. >> okay, that's cool. if people had access to heroin most people would not choose to take fentanyl. everyone's euphoria is slightly more than fentanyl and it has a safer dosing window and sentinel has been available medically since the 1960s and we use sentinel in medicine and even have lollipops for children for example who have cancer related for their pain and so fentanyl is an important medication that we use and it's only got the ban name recently because people are getting fentanyl unbeknownst to them and that can be a problem of course. >> i think reiterating here point about most overdoses, most bad outcomes are based on a lack of information or a pre-existing condition in the person. >> absolutely. that has to be around 90%. if they

in a case called parker versus district of columbia, a case that became known as district of columbia versus heller. you voted for rehearing and balk with respect to an opinion striking down that same ban on handguns within the district of columbia. of course, later in the same proceedings of the same case, the supreme court struck down the ban. can you tell us why you voted the way you did and you voted to give d.c. another chance to defend its ban on handguns in that case? >> yes, senator. as i know you know, because you were a law clerk yourself, you know that rehearing is not a vote on the merits of the case. for myself, it's never a vote on the merits. it's to rehear the case. the panel decision was the first time i think ever a court of appeals had held the individual right to keep anbear arms. the issue was one that would require looking at a deep historical record as to the meaning of the second amendment and the way it had been applied. i thought this was extremely important, important enough since it was the very first time that we should hear it again. i was not the only ju

then tonight columbia university professor carl hart argues that the decriminalization of drugs has been more harmful to american society than drug use and on our weekly author interview program "after words", investigative journalist amelia pang reports from the labor camps in china used to produce us consumer goods. find full schedule information online at booktv.org. >> good evening everyone, my name is mckenna jordan andi'm the owner of murder by the bookstore in houston texas . we are one of the world largest prime fiction specialty stores and if you haven't heard of u

[inaudible] >> the radical reinvention. [laughter] so, i've got lots of questions. i'm sure you may have questions as well but first it would be good to hear some of the story. >> i will read the most exciting excerpt, the most exciting part about the battle of the running bowl. a. >> before you jump in and can you give context for f

are we facing a politicized pathology lab in the district of columbia? >> yes, i am indiginant about this. it's been more than a month since the event at the capitol and over and over media outlets have asserted decaprio -- that a pro-trump mob bashed his skull in which we know is false. the point you made is crucial. if you have 13 police officers dead and they are inaccurate about one death, you can dismiss it to the falability of humans. but his death was central to what happened because he is the only person who was claimed to die from the mob itself. we don't know if that's true. we don't know how he died and yet millions of people will always believe an utter lie because the media endorsed it over and over. >> obviously there is some attempt -- i mean clearly the death of officers sicknick is a tragedy for his family. but for example, if they don't know the cause of death, the body was released for laying in state at the rotunda. the democrats are using this officer's death to hang it around the neck of the trump supporters. it's not an accidental

they know in southwest washington that the columbia river need as new bridge across i-5. in eastern washington they know that we need a north-south corridor and in everett they know that the trestle needs replacement if goods from eastern washington are going to get to the port of everett and out the door. all of these things are investments and with them come the structures of things like at-grade crossings, passenger rail systems, and safety that are huge, i believe, infrastructure investments that have not been quite appreciated. i was very pleased to get mr. buttigieg's commitment during our session with him that these things at grade crossings, ports competitiveness and moving products safely should be a big priority for the future. the lander street project in seattle which was an investment of the new freight program was just a few blocks but literally congestion for hours, had stopped traffic from getting from i-5 to the port of seattle. the lander street in a lot of ways represents what it really is, a bridge to the future, a bridge to get people moving where the

columbia university scientists placed a baby chimpanzee in a human household in order to study when the nim chimpsky as they called him could learn to communicate with sign language the experiment failed tragically and the chimp died young effectively of a broken home and the failed research project was the subject of a documentary released a few years ago. t.c. boyle has often explored the biographies and work of scientists in his writing so it comes as no surprise that boyle was fascinated by this almost 50 year old story he says this experiment was an attempt to find out what distinguishes man from beast a question that. as long preoccupied as. the how do you know who you are will you have language and you can talk well the deaf language is different it's a gestural language how does that work but yes i did all the went back to those days a little 'd research seventies eighties the cross for string bands in human households race and just as you raise your own child to see how language is developed in us but also how it is generally developed it's just really fascinating we work in wo
