whenever i begin to feel repulsion at hemingway's ego and boorish behavior toward other human beings ,-com,-com ma i like to take out a copy of this letter. 210 words with so much emotion tucked below the surface of the pros, of the sentences pile driven by contained feeling and acute observation of the natural world would have been a half decent output for a work day even in a masters prime. the boy, his name is frederick g. sager's although everyone including hemingway calls him for its, has a congenital heart condition. he is the son of george saviors, hemingway's small-town doctor can catch him who was also one of hemingway's favorite duck hunting companions. in these last weeks hemingway has been brought once more from idaho for treatment to mail. not long after this note to fritz, hemingway will fool his famous doctors at the world-famous clinic into believing he is well enough to go home to idaho. and almost immediately the shotgun will go waft and the quiet of the house that sits a couple hundred yards up on the steep slope from the west bank west bank of the big wood river. the patient on

there is an outcry from the lithuanians and i asked why does it take the lithuanians ,-com,-com ma why aren't we in the west sympathetic enough to sufferers persecuted under communism to object ourselves? why leave it to these folks but there it was. i am fairly relaxed about these common symbols. if you see a guy with the ccc piece white shirt and you see these trinkets and hammers and sickles and so on. i once did a study of this, simple magazine piece, and some people say it's proof that we weren't that we can mock that. is just kind of funny. you don't see swastikas and he don't see pictures of goering on t-shirts and you don't have people say it's just a t-shirt. daniels points out che guevara only took one good picture in his life. he looks like a movie star in the picture. he got his cheekbones just right but other pictures he wasn't that much really, honestly. this is all regarded in chambers really. he was a witness and a truth teller and it was really really hard for him to forsake not popular approval, to pursue it the approval of the people it mattered, his colleagues in jo

com,-com ma specifying where to go and how the various instrument are going to be used. science teams working together for five or 10 years or more interpreted the data that is returned and discuss with engineers what's interesting and what's possible to do next. so at its heart, the story of planetary exploration today is about the relation of people and robotic spacecraft. machines that are actually complex laboratories capable of operating in extreme cold with little power, package to handle the vibrations of launch and work for years without repair. sending the scientific instrumeninstrumen ts throughout the solar system is one of the great successes of the computer age and it it will surely market our place in history of science and exploration. that these missions also show that we understand how to design machines and organize people so everything fits, and that is my story today about the mars exploration rovers, how the design of the spacecraft as you see and me are here organization of people, the software tools and their work schedule makes it possible for scientists to work on mars. on the scale of of the universe mars is right next door. it's about my -- nine months traveled using conventional chemical rockets. mars is about half the diameter of the earth but it lacks oceans and so it has roughly the same surface area as the earth and that is a lot of landscape for us to explore. the climate is often colder than the antarctic whose great extremes during the day but on a summer afternoon on the mars equator, you could survive wearing something like a lightweight scuba and pressurized helmet. actually a scuba suit might have been propria to three or 4 billion years ago. we believe then that mars was more like the earth, wet in with a thicker atmosphere. one striking elevation map created from orbit shows the lure areas colored blue and suggest that large parts of the northern hemisphere might have been as covered in c. and is evidence for -- so what happened? did life form on mars? why was its atmosphere lost? are microorganisms living today below the surface? and if life form fair, did it form separately from earth, or are we related? these are the big questions that make many of us very excited about mars. as i have said it's not practical to directly control a spacecraft on mars excess of the speed of the radio wave, which is the same as the speed of light. and it causes a time delay in seeing and affecting what is happening. but i acting indirectly, through computer programs that monitor and control the rovers, and their instruments throughout the work day, people have been working on mars for over eight years. two teams of scientists and engineers operating the twin rovers called spirit and opportunity has driven together over 25 miles of -- in and out of a dozen creators and climbed hills hundreds of feet high to analyze the layers of deposits and they have also stopped to admire the views and take photographs. the scientists have scraped the rock surfaces, microphotographed their texture and analyzed them electric composition. in february 2004, month after the landing, i had the privilege to observe mission operations a jet propulsion lab in pasadena for almost two weeks. the two rover teams had twin facilities on different floors of a given building at jpl and they lived and worked according to the timezone of their rover. because the martian day is longer than earth's that means that they reported for work about 40 minutes later each day. if you were at the gate at jpl you would see people coming in 40 minutes later then they came in the day before. the main science meeting room was darkened so they could orient to what they called mars time. each team had about 75 scientists and student researchers, organized into what are called science theme groups, mineralogy and geochemistry, soils and rocks, geology, atmosphere. they were arranged at their own tables and they gave presentations interpreting what they were learning and what they would like to do tomorrow on mars. the long-term planet group setting off to one side review the overall mission engineering objectives, measures of how far they had traveled, the number of images they had taken, how the instruments had been used and how these affected the plan for tomorrow. in the words of steve squires, the principle investigator of the mer mission this has been the first over lag expedition on another planet. applying rovers tools have chosen spots along the martian landscape we have learned how water is affected the chemistry of soil and rocks and we found places in the past that were similar to where life thrives on earth. 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 that 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 is called comparative climatology on mars is partly why it's such an exciting place to study. we are 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 have been joining mars scientists on an expedition in the canadian art, a nearly lifeless landscape called tarpon crater. the scientist chose this place because it is mars like, allowing them to understand how life exists in extreme environments. an expedition itself reveals how people might live and work on mars if they were studying the landscape there, and that is of interest to the mission. so i followed the scientists in the field to understand how they explored. it was a big topic at nassau, exploration but we had never even in cognitive science, my home discipline, had never studied exploration in the field as people really explore a new landscape. how did they decide where to go? what tools did they use? i documented how they collected and organize samples that they would analyze with instruments in their laboratories back on earth. i studied how they diagrammed and described their work in their notebooks and how this related to their published work. i observed especially how i intended to work alone or in small groups, but observing the scientists in pasadena i was taken by the incredible contrast. the scientists are indoors, in a dark room, part of a large team doing everything by consensus, people from different disciplines are required to work together. geologist who in the arctic would race to the nearest hill to survey the landscape where working with mineralogy is, who wanted the rover to stop and take a new sample every few meters along the way. and among them were laboratory scientists who have never done fieldwork before. so working remotely through a rover creates a new way of field science and this new practice changes the scientists and leads them to relate to their tools, the rovers,, and not in expected ways. so how could the scientists work together under these conditions? how could they accept the anonymity of the mission team where their names would never be associated in the public press with any of the decisions of rock to analyze, how long to stay in what the data means. how could people used to seeing, touching and roving at will, study the landscape through programmed laboratory? how was it possible at all to do field science on another planet while remaining here on earth, let alone keep these people engaged for 80 years? the key is that although the scientists can't directly see and control what is happening, the design of the rover instruments and computer software makes it possible for them to be virtually present on mars through the combination of stereo and spectro images and being able to move around and scrape the rocks. they experienced being there. for example steve squires describes their landing. quote, we realized we had landed in a crater, and that is where we were. and then we noticed 800 meters away, there is endurance crater. would it wouldn't it be great to actually get there? squires descriptions are all first-person. we had landed. we noticed. maybe we can make it. in this imaginative projection, the scientists become the rover, and this experience on mars is essential to the success of the mission. it enables them to hatch new field science. to know what rocks and soils are nearby, and what they can reach or how long it might take to get somewhere, they use a combination of 3-d images, computer graphics and simulations often overlaying them. these visualizations allowed them to point to places, give them names and control precisely where new photographs are taken and where the instruments are placed. so for example, they would draw a yellow bounding box to specify where a camera should zoom in for a more detailed image. each photograph can be used like a map of an area on mars because its location relative to the rover is precisely registered in the planning program. as we move in from panoramas used for navigating to images of outcrops to the microphone of graphs, we can see and mark off the details. even small rocks and patches of soil might be named and become targets for spectral analysis or microphotograph. combining these tools in their imagination, the scientists can work as if they were on mars. jim rice, a geologist on the mission said, i put myself out there in the sand with the rover, with two boots on the ground, trying to figure out where to go and what to do. how to make that what we are observing with the instruments. day in and day out there was always the perspective of being on the surface and trying to draw on your own field experience in places that might be similar. david demaret, a biologist at nasa ames described it this way. the first few months of the mission they have these huge charts on the wall's engineering rover with all these dimensions. we would have some geometric question. well, can we see this? can we reach that? is this rock going to be in the shade or will it be in the sun? we would go and stand and we would stare at those charts. over overtime, we stopped doing it so much because we began to gain a sense of -- that is projecting yourself into the rover. it's just an amazing capability of the human mind that you can sort of retool yourself. so acting through the robots, the control, the scientist look around, they manipulate materials and the move over the landscape. they may pretend to be a rover, crouching down and gesturing with an arm to better imagine what is reachable. and through the eyeglasses and special cameras, they can directly see iron minerals in the rocks. they are transformed in a way to -- on mars. now that is all pretty different from doing field science on earth and this is an odd kind of expedition for another reason. usually scientists go off in different directions, different times, using their own tools. for mer, the entire team was altogether, 150 scientists and engineers balancing together as it were like on a huge skate toward creeping over the sand, up and down the hills and craters meters at a time. so it's something like being on a ship on an early voyage of discovery. the scientists in the sailing crew were all having to travel together. they had to negotiate how long are we going to stay here? where are we going to go next and what should we do at each site? and this requires a well coordinated understanding of their roles, schedules, resources, long-term plans and a clear chain of command. if you visit the science and engineering coordination meeting during the prime mission, which was the first 90 days of landing on mars in 2004, the same thing we are going through now with curiosity during these 90 days you can see that scientists upfront on the bridge as it were, with huge displays of the martian surface that lay before them. behind the scientists below the decks on the ship were the engineers, arrayed behind them square monitors showing the ship's power, memory and an evolving timeline for tomorrow's work. now this coordination meeting would have occurred about 6:00 p.m., just before dinner, local mars time every day. the scientists arrived at work about three hours before, midafternoon rover time. they were ready to receive photographs and other analyses coming back from the rover's work during the day. so you see the mer's are solar-powered so they work roughly on a 9 to 5 schedule. every morning each rover would receive a new program for its day's work, so between dinnertime on mars and sunrise, the scientists and engineers must finalize the plan for the next day, and this requires a second shift of engineers, who refine and test that program before it's sent to mars, what's called the uplink. now that weren't enough, keep in mind we are simultaneously operating two rovers on mars for over five years. spirit and opportunity were in fact two missions operating in parallel. they had their own rooms as i said for science operations or jpl. they have their own engineering programming teams. 6:00 p.m. coordination meetings and they're on cash of course a free ice cream. but the team shared a single mission control center where the engineers attend to monitors a lot like you would see at houston's mission control. their computers are connected to satellites and earth stations that allow them to communicate with the rover's. so this common engineering activity, sharing this room that i showed a moment ago, required two missions to be coordinated in a special way. if you look at the map of mars with the landing sites of the two rovers, opportunity or mer b or spirit, mer a you will notice we landed the rover's 180 degrees apart near the equator. most people will realize that the sun's angle is going to be important because rovers are solar-powered so that is why we put them near the equator. few people realize how the geography of the mission relates to the problem of commanding the rovers every day. placing spirit and opportunity on opposite sides of mars allowed a single command center in a management organization operating around-the-clock to focus on one rover at a time, controlling them separated by a half a day on mars. this illustrates very clearly why understanding and designing the mission has to be comprehensive, what we call a total system, the choice of landing sites it self affects the scheduling of facilities and operations in pasadena. so, i described the logistics, the tools and the mental projections involved in working on mars. but there's another angle to how people talk and think about the rover that i found fascinating and very strange. it is how the rover becomes the hero of the story in official reports on the web, in the press and even in in the scientists on publications. what i have learned is that anthropomorphizing the rover is both practical and poetic. it facilitates the scientists work, helping them to work together as a team and it provides a way for them to express their feelings. nassau's 2001 press release on this mer project epitomizes the personification of the robots. quote, in 2003 nasa plans to launch a relative of the now famous 1997 mars rover. this cousin is expected to reach the red planet in january 2004. this new robotic explorer will be able to track up to 100 meters across the surface each margin day. the mars program director at nasa headquarters said quote this mission will give us the first ever road ' field geologist on mars. now the metaphors in this poetic narrative such as referring to the earlier mission as mer's cousin simplify understanding but they also serve as a kind of cultural cheerleading in praise of america's new robotic explorer. but years later, the tone was distinct when the "associated press" reported spirits demise. quote, spirit, the scrappy robotic geologist that captivated the world for his antics on mars before getting stuck in a sand trap, trap, is about to meet tomatoes and after six productive years. so the chum of the rover -- rover is told in the genre of the last person. spirit is said to be incommunicado and it's personified by characters. as far as sibling rivalry went, opportunity was the overachiever while spirit was the drama queen underdog. [laughter] surprisingly lead scientists on the mission are quoted as speaking in the same matter-of-fact way. the mission's deputy investigator ray arvidson of washington university said he will remember spirit as a fighter. quote, it wouldn't quit just like the little engine that chugged up the hill. sometimes this poetry appears a bit overdone but they may find quite serious descriptions of the rovers character and its accomplishments, like a children's bedtime story. the plucky rover will be remembered for demystifying mars to the masses. this is a story of perseverance. talking about the rovers in this way in the third person makes it possible for the scientists to tell us about themselves, how they feel about the rovers and the challenges they encounter. this is a personal emotional presentation that you will not find in the journal of science and nature. now, this metaphor of the robotic explorer actually appeared on the planetary spacecraft in the 1970s and it has become a journalistic clichÉ. a few years ago andrew jenkins subtitle this book intrepid explorers of the red planet. now the book is about the scientists passion for mars, but in his poetic graphic the intrepid explorers are the spacecraft. over the past decade, the clicÉe became a conceptually, somewhat confused debate in the space exploration community between the advocates of science, meaning robotic spacecraft and the advocates of exploration, meaning human spaceflight. this was a debate about the control for money. but a genuine question remains about the relative roles of people and robots as the distances beyond mars make daily reprogramming more and more typical in the robots become more able to identify what is worth studying. some have summarized an economy as human explorers versus robot explorers. at a stanford university symposium i attended in 2008 called humans and robots in exploration, one topic was quoted to us as, when does the human become the tool of choice for solar system exploration? by this phrasing, people and robots are those tools and then they asked, very puzzled now, what is the right mix? of course viewing people and robots as interchangeable tools from the sun is absurd. i believe some of the difficulties that arise here are occurring because it's hard for us to understand this new working relationship between people and robots. spacecraft that fly by a planet and carry out a canned program and send the data back is a one time package, are very different from mobile laboratories with sensors and manipulators that are programmed by us for every day for years. and he gives a totally different experience to the scientists in carrying out the mission. this new way of working which mer epitomizes can be difficult to think about because it's a relationship among people, technology and work processes. it's not a property or a capability that can be ascribed to people or robots independently and that is why the term robotic geologists is so misleading. the relation of people and robots in practical work is difficult even for the scientists to describe. mer scientists have said they could do in a day what took rover many months, but they are thinking mostly about those long drives. astronauts would leave rovers in the dust, but there is no shortcut for the hours required to do a spectral analysis or a pixel by pixel scan of an infrared panorama. nobody has has used since germans like these in the field before. so how the rovers automation and human actions are dependent on each other can be difficult to explain because we don't think about in practice. in terms of what is called phenomenology, the rover is seen through, as we say like using a cane. in terms of the rovers embodiment in our activity it becomes transparent like a hammer, a bicycle or even an automobile. we ride, we go places. we don't have to think about the machinery. it becomes part of us. the rovers arm reaching out is the mer's scientists aren't touching a rock on mars. jim val's book shows the difficulty of talking about this embodiment. the titleist postcards from mars, the first photographer on the red planet. as the panoramic camera believes he's referring to himself. he writes that the rovers have allowed us to be in a sense the first photographers on the red planet. now he puts quotes around photographers. but i would have put the quotes around on the red planet, because bell and his colleagues really took the pictures but they are not actually of mars. they are photographers. how should we describe this? who sent the postcards? i believe some of this poetry is revealing that this joint action between machinery, robotic systems and people, is difficult to think about or describe. these phone cameras that many of you are carrying around in your pockets provide a good example of how viewing robots as being free agents, robotic geologists, and giving them credit for doing the work can easily arise. cameras like this today are all computerized, so when you press the buttons computations determined to the exposure and other settings. they might even decide that you are taking a portrait and to focus accordingly and they will compensate for backlighting but still you are going to say, i took this photograph. now separate that button press and the creation of the photograph by something between 30 and 240 million miles and add an overnight delay. now you want to say, spirit took this photograph today. all the people in the technology in between just drop out. it's a narrative shorthand. philosophically it raises the question that we call agency and is at the heart of this humans versus robots dichotomy. ascribing agency to the rover appears throughout the scientists writings. for example in the planetary report in 2007, matt golan back of lead mer scientists provided a superbly readable technical summary of the science. the title spirit and opportunity, martian geologists. in a clear presentation about ancient processes formed that alter the rockets and materials during the mer site he alternates away to catch up editions about the robots actions. mer scientists observations and conclusions. listen to this. after exploring endurance crater opportunity drove south to investigate the heat shield that it used during landing. next to the heat shield we notice the only rocks on the planet. opportunities investigation of this rock revealed it as nickel iron meteorite, a very exciting finding, on a as it was our first discovery of the meteorite on another planet. since then spirit has discovered two others. it appears that spirit caught on pretty quickly to how to recognize meteorites, doesn't it? so when i first heard this term robotic geologist, i felt the phrase was just hype, unfair to the people who are actually doing the work and it turns the mission story into kind of a public show or something like the "wizard of oz." pay no attention to the scientists behind the curtain. i wondered and i worried that this was going to confuse the public and was obscure in the real story of how people were able to work on mars. people might begin to wonder, why should we send scientist to mars if we already have robotic geologist working there? ally of artie mentioned how viewing the rover in this third person on mars provides a way for the scientist to talk about themselves. but over time has come to realize that this perspective has many practical benefits. as an example superimposing the rovers route on orbital images, that is why this image is so funny -- provides a birdseye view of the regions that we have been exploring. we hover over that landscape and we see mer from orbit. the third person view of the rover is also expressed vividly in computer composites like this that show the rover working along -- alone. does this express a wish for us to be present at the scene of rover? or does it make tangible the images for scientists and engineers are imagining in their minds? is it another practical projection, another way of understanding the rovers orientation and its context, which actually makes the field science possible. here we see the interplay of imagination, science and technology, all motivated and enabling each other. other less dramatic computer graphics composed with mars images are used routinely to orient the planning and programming of routes and targets. such third person views provide an important way of locating the rover and then by projection locating yourself in the work on mars. yet there is another way of relating to the rover, the second person perspective. window lead mer rover planners said he viewed the rover as a partner, i was shocked. he told me the rover and i were working as a team. he did not mean though it's the same as working with the jpl colleagues. instead he was using the best words he could find relating to the rover as a peer to express how he delegated work to the rover. so we would plan portions of the route that he didn't have sufficient time or data to analyze and program himself. he relates to the rover in terms of what i do and what you do. for him, this second person i/you relation is practical. the rover is an agent you can rely on. now talking about spirit and opportunity is investigating, driving and so one has also taken hold because it fits so well in the convention of scientific writing in which we depersonalize our contributions. reports focus on the goals, the methods and the date of. the emphasis is on mars, not on the scientists or how they do their work. individual scientists are also properly wary of taking the limelight. everyone knows they work as a team. in this respect, to find out this phrase robotic geologist was pivotal in deciding the rover itself and promoting teamwork. a central concept in the original mer mission is that the robotic geologists is a physical surrogate for the science team. unlike the boxy spacecraft that we send to orbit or flyby other planets, mer was deliberately designed to personify a scientists, about human height, little short with stereo vision, mobile with an arm holding a hammer and other sensors. combining the disciplinary teams in one persona, mer realizes the mission that they called one instrument, one team. the team's ability to identify with the rover is fundamental to mer's design esquires explains. he said the whole idea behind mer is that these tools work together. look at the discovery of the silicon. the mobility system by which he means the rovers wheels, we notice with the pan cam wide-angle camera. we hit it with the many test to check for iron. it looks interesting and we go over it and we figure out its molecular composition with the ap's ex, everything works together. having instruments that work together encourages the teams to work together. this was choir's vision which he called science systems engineering. he said you have got those sensors in each and each of them provides complementary bits of knowledge. you are going to use the payload to the fullest advantage if people look at it as being entirely at their disposal. if you are out there the field he says doing geology with your field partner, you might be arguing about what this rock means or what that rock means that you're not going to be arguing about should we use the rock hammer or should we use the compass? we don't have pan cam guys arguing with other guys but rather geologist arguing with chemists about exploration. now to appreciate that, you need to know that this design and organization starkly contrast with almost every other planetary mission and the contrasts in a way with our current mission curiosity. for example, the spacecraft now orbiting saturn has 12 instrument teams, each with its own principle investigator. remember that mer had one principle investigator. curiosity has 10 or 11. these teams are matrixed and they have different terps that they are interested in, studying the planet center. its rings, the moon or the i see mountains. it is at best a consortium sharing a single platform jockeying for control or resources. who gets to use their instrument now and for how long? the scale and the reality of two boots on the ground enables and requires a completely different technical design and social organization. rather than features on a planetary scale cnas from orbit are fine by rovers instrument targets are palpable and they are directly manipulatable. feeling rover is a geologist physical surrogate makes sense. typically a robot is a machine that acts without human intervention but the vision of the robot geologist is broader and multidimensional. instead of replacing the scientists ,-comcom ma the robotic geologist was conceived as a collaboration tool, a way of getting the disciplinary teams to work together. it didn't replace them. it provided a way for them to work together, very very different. combined with the virtual-reality planet tools and the commanding every day that enable frequent individual contributions, the mer expiration system help the scientist to ward a new kind of field science collaboration. it made them -- working through a programmable world laboratory. although many people speak about humans and robots in space as if there is a choice, human explorers or robot explorers, our relationship to these computer-controlled devices is more complicated. envisioning the field science, the science is become the rover, a first-person view. programming the rovers drive an engineer may view the work is a joint accomplishment, a second person view. and then working as an ensemble, acting together for the rovers hardware and software systems. everything turns

com,-com ma charles kesler, and the change and dinesh d'souza obama's america, quite critical of president obama. sarah weinman did these books sell well? >> they do sell well largely because they serve rightly or wrongly as a counterpoint. many readers wish to buy into that counterpoint and as a result these books have a very active audience and now the president obama has been reelected, i am sure that the publishers with conservative imprints or who are conservative inclined will continue to produce books that sell well because they will continue to it appeal to an audience that demands these books. >> host:>> host: bob mintz and r have you of these critical authors. >> you know, well let's see, the land back but he has not recently taken on obama. it's sort of interesting, i think whoever's in power in the white house, the opposite political slant on books does better so when a liberal democrat in the white house conservative books tend to do better and when there's a conservative in the white house like under president bush, folks critical under the present tend to do better. in fact i remember bush at one point when he was being questioned about jobs he said look what i'm doing for the book industry. there were so many books that were out critical of him. it was the middle of his second term. >> guest: the irony of the president -- former bush, i believe if it wasn't the best-selling book it was awfully close. >> guest: people voted the bookstore in much smaller numbers. that you show your alliance by going out and buying a book that agrees with your political position. generally most of these political books are being bought by people who are authors. >> host: real-time policy books also came out in 2012 including james mann, the obama and of the struggle inside the white house are redefined power, jeffrey toobin, the obama white house versus the supreme court and michael gruenwald's the new new deal, the hidden story of change in the obama era along with bob woodward's the price of politics. i want to ask both of you, did up woodward's most recent book get the attention the most of his books get? >> guest: my feeling is that it got initial attention but that it was crowded out by just the nature of the news cycle happening so initially at least to my mind there were a couple of nuggets that have not been reported before that there wasn't that many other ones that emerged after the initial one or two so it lost some of its momentum. i'm sure bob will have an equally subjective answer on this front too. >> guest: i mean, there is always a standard of what you're comparing it to. bob woodward it was not his most commercially successful book. i think sarah touched on two things. one is the news cycle has -- and the other factor was the topic. it was about the negotiations over the budget, the debt and that's not exact he and exciting topic for a lot of people as opposed to his books on maneuverings in the bush white house which i think would have more interest. >> guest: one thing i also wanted to bring up that's tangential to the particular books but an emerging trend we saw a lot of in 2012 is that a lot of current events topics are not just the larger nonfiction titles that take a very long time to produce by the larger publishers, but the advent of shorter forums, digital books through companies by the likes of newspapers and magazines like "usa today" that launches one e-book usa tomorrow with the idea being that with an e-book publisher and a strike can come to market very early and especially with timely topics of the political nature as the election season showed. they could get the news out in a wider way with an e-book benefit would have had to wait several months or a year or a book. >> guest: i thought michael gruenwald's will come of the new new deal, which was about the economic stimulus should have got more attention than it did. i found it very interesting and it was not the kind of stuff you are reading in the daily papers are magazines and being discussed on tv. grunwald writes for times magazine as him nonpartisan and he has an appreciation of what it did for the economy but it means to them are men and all of that and it's sort of a story that got lost in all the politics. >> host: bob mintz and shiner -- minzesheimer we have to have a comment on usa tomorrow. >> guest: i should think sarah for her plug. newspaper in september we were 30 years old so the whole bunch of reporters were sent out to talk to people who could predict with the world would be like in 30 years from now. what are you talking about, 2042? 2042. serrazin little better at math than i am. anyway they made their predictiopredictio n and talked about what it means for their industry and they put out a little tab and now that she is now an e-book which i think you can buy for a grand total of $1.99 or $2.99. it hasn't really taken off yet. the short form, somewhere between a book and a magazine, by line and amazon has been doing them. they can be posted almost immediately and they sell for $2 or $3, $4. a few of them have made the list in some have been for fiction. amy tan wrote a story that she called too long to be a short story and too short to be a novel which works perfectly into this. >> host: the wars i should say continue to produce books including sandra schrager and, the war within the war for afghanistan, tom ricks, the general, mark bodin's the finish, the killing of osama bin laden and another book on the killing of osama bin osama bin laden as mark owens no easy day the first-hand account of the mission that killed osama bin laden and then there was a book in the education of general david petraeus by paula broadwell. sarah weinman, any comments on moe's books? >> guest: it's funny you alluded to miss broadwell spoke as a former title that got second wind because of course in light of general petraeus' resignation this broadwell's role in that, that's exactly why her book, why the paperback publication was pushed up. i think what it is done a little bit though is take away from the larger aspect of these books. when scandal rears its head it's focused too much on that rather than the substance of the book but one thing that is worth pointing out in relation to mark bowen and mark owen was a pseudonym for the navy s.e.a.l.s involved in the mission to kill osama bin laden is that the books publisher, penguin press, they announced that with weeks to spare and i felt they did a brilliant job of marketing that book. of course it didn't help depending on who you asked that mark owens real name was dutifully revealed by the media which then caused its own firestorm but the upshot is many of these books even with commensurate media attention, it doesn't translate into sales. no easy day did phenomenally well and the other thing that is worth pointing out too is anything to do with the killing of osama bin laden back in the news again with the upcoming movie hero dark 30 directed by bigelow and written by him mark bowles, the oscar-winning movie the hurt locker and it's interesting to see the cia has been cooperating and also whether the account of the movie conflicts with the account of mark owens book which conflicts with the account of mark bodin's looks at taking all these things together and trying to piece together a comprehensive account of what has happened is almost like rashomon. >> guest: according to our list part -- paula -- paula broadwell's book does not do well commercially. it did not crack or top the 400 in any one week despite all the publicity. although there was another title which did make our list which was some sort of romance, perhaps, somewhere in between that. i have not read either of them of the nonfiction and they fiction. there's an interesting book, fred kaplan has a book coming out i think in january called the insurgent. it's about what he considers a new greet of soldiers and is tried to redefine the role of the military and general petraeus is one of the major subjects i think. it will be interesting to see whether the personal scandal will have died down to get back to the policy issues of the role of generals. >> guest: the one side benefit relating to the kaplan book, i believe simon & schuster pushed up the publication of this book in large part in reaction to the ongoing scandal so it was going to be late january and now it's the beginning of january. >> host: we also want to look at some of the award winners of 2012, the national book awards as we mentioned katherine boo behind the beautiful rivers won the national book award for the but the other nominees included anne applebaum iron curtain and robert caro the passage of power, the boy kings of texas and the late anthony should deed, house of stone. bob minzesheimer any comment on those? >> guest: i admired the anthony should deed book. i read it just after he died. anthony shadid was a reporter for "the washington post" and "the new york times" and died of apparently related asthma attack while covering the civil war and syria. his book is a memoir. anthony shadid grew up in oklahoma of all places with within american lebanese family and he ended up fascinated and became a reporter. his life mission was to try to explain this region to america. it's no easy thing to do. and he covered more than his share of wars and in the course of that, his first marriage fell apart because he was always up for overseas covering the war. he ends up lying his families somewhere in lebanon. i forget the name of the village and he takes a year off to restore this house. it sounds like a movie almost -- which he does with great difficulty. the book, his memoir, it lands end lebanese history and its laureate past which is been badly destroyed by the civil war as well as his own personal story. shortly before the book came out he died. he was 40 or so, 45. >> host: sarah weinman? >> guest: well, i feel like in looking at this list, i feel an unmitigated search to talk about how much i adore the katherine boo both. on twitter is quite active that if katherine boo's book made every 2012 list that would be perfectly fine by me. it's a phenomenal piece of literature. she writes beautifully. she writes with tremendous sympathy and she is a new yorker staff writer and a previous recipient of the macarthur genius grant. her husband is indian and she spent at least three years right outside of mumbai essentially chronicling these people's lives and seeing how they coped, being on the periphery of great industrial change but also struggling with poverty. she presents her life in a way that is obviously taking into account the tremendous suffering but also shows this tremendous humanity and there are moments of humor. there are moments of great familial joy that some of the people involved go through. i felt it was just unbelievably moved reading it and it's a book that frankly i could not put down either. i just had to keep reading so i absolutely see why not did it only when the national book award but so many people have responded to it and why it has sold very well and why i think it will take its place as one of the very best books published in the last two years. >> guest: if i remember right, she's not in the book much at all. it's really old-fashioned reporting done incredibly well in britain as well. >> host: and sarah weinman of publishers marketplace mentioned, a lot of best of lists are coming out by publications, "the washington post," the economist etc. etc.. all of those have been aggregated by the way of booktv.org so go to our web site booktv.org and you'll be a lessee a lot of these best of 2012 looks lists. they are under our section called news about books. pulitzers this year, steven greenblatt won for general nonfiction, this word, the late manning marivel one for malcolm x and bore a biography or autobiography, john lewis gaddis, george f. kennan, an american life. bob minzesheimer what is this worth about? >> this work if i remember right, it dipped into the book when it came out. it's fascinating, it was a little on the side of being, intellectual. i don't mean to say that dismissively, but it is about -- sarah, help me here. do you remember the name of the poem? >> guest: oh gosh, not offhand. >> guest: rediscovered in the renaissance. and then, it changed the way -- it was published i guess you would say. printed or something. >> host: i didn't mean to put you on the spot there. is called the swerve and -- >> guest: cultures of war get bit and took a more modern take on life and the fear of dying is the thing that it dealt with, the fear of dying which was far more predominate in stopping people from doing things. >> host: sarah weinman if the book is nominated or wins a national book award or is nominated and wins a pulitzer, does it change sales? >> guest: i think as an example, to answer your question, the pulitzer prize did not award a prize in fiction. is the first time that it happened since the late 1970s and there was a huge uproar largely because certainly for fiction fiction winner so pulitzer does have an appreciable effect on sales. paul harvey when he won the fiction prize, he had been published a very tiny press called literary press and in the wake of the pulitzer win not only did the book sell more than 100,000 copies but his next will be published by random house in september 2013. so it has completely changed his career and his trajectory. jennifer eagan is another example, when she won the pulitzer fiction for a visit from -- she had pulled all right but she was now firmly entrenched as one of the most sought-after writers in american literature right now. not awarding the fiction prize, it certainly sends shockwaves and will be interesting to see in 2013, if they will learn from that pole unquote mistake and make sure -- wins a fiction prize. >> guest: a lot of libraries as soon as the awards are announced will check their holding to see if they have the books and if they don't have those books they will order those books. that doesn't mean it's a bestseller but it's established in a different round. and i think prices are most important when a person is not that well-known. certainly it establishes curiosity. >> host: several members of congress have written books this past pastor including senator rand paul, government bullies and represented john lewis wrote another book, across that bridge about his experience. senator marco rubio a biography, an american son and represented tim ryan a mindful nation how a single practice can help reduce stress, improve performance and recapture the american spirit. a little off the beaten path for members of congress. senator tom coburn, the debt bomb and robert draper has written a book about congress. do not ask what good we do inside the u.s. house of representatives. do either of you look for these books when they come out by members of congress or politicians? >> guest: i certainly know them but i feel as if at least from my standpoint that these books are way too entrenched the members of congress not only in their positions but also potentially to position them for future runs, be it within their current offices or maybe something different. so, it seems as if it's more of a calling card then it is furthering their career as authors. certainly, being authors of books is yet another feather in the cap of politicians so it's just a way of announcing to the larger public that they are part of the larger comp or station. >> guest: i am going to sound a little cynical and may be skeptical but i also wonder how much of the book is -- given their schedules and their time. they need to raise money. >> guest: so you are you're looking at brand management. >> guest: i don't know. who was it, nathaniel hawthorne wrote some presidents -- and then got a job, patronage job so it's an old tradition of the campaign focus. the beauty of obama's memoir was he put it before he was a politician so it was a little less, a little more open i think. i know we come excuse me, we paid attention to the marco rubio book as long as he was being touted as a vice presidential candidate and then when he wasn't, people lost interest in a book. but you know he has a future with the republican party so people would going back to him. >> host: so well-known former members of congress and politicians and government officials have also written some books this past year including colin powell, it worked for me in life and leadership in madeleine albright, another book prague winter a personal story of remembrance and more. the late senator arlen specter has another book out in april of 2012, life among the cannibals and finally former california governor arnold schwarzenegger, total recall. sarah weinman how to total recall to? >> guest: as far as i know it did not quite live up to expectations. that said i feel as bob would have been interesting answer because i understand he had quite an interesting profile piece of the former governor. >> guest: i got to interview the governor and the author and remember, for those who have forgotten, after he left the governorship, he came out the governor schwarzenegger had an affair with the housekeeper who had fathered his son. and that led to his wife, maria shriver, and the kennedys are involved in everything -- i think filing for divorce. all right so, he comes out with this i think it's 600 pages or so and everything arnold schwarzenegger has ever done from growing up in a town in austria, the bodybuilding, pages and pages about bodybuilding and i know this is an incredible, in some ways an incredible american immigrant story. he comes to america and this is his dream to become a movie star. he becomes a movie star and then he becomes governor of california. meanwhile, the affair with the housekeeper, which is about five pages in the book. he deals with it. he doesn't say much. he doesn't say he regrets it or that sort of thing. i got an interview with him on the phone the friday before the book was coming out. he had already agreed to be on 60 minutes and they had a lot more time. midway through the interview he said, and i cannot do arnold well. he said i don't like the way this interview is going. the questions had to do with the housekeeper and not about his accomplishments as governor. if you like arnold schwarzenegger, it's all there. it briefly made her bestsellers list and then went away. >> host: political pundits, always we get the political pundits books every year including charles murray is coming apart, save america, glenn beck, and rachel maddow, "drift" and ann coulter's mugged. did either of you pick up any of these books because they always make the best sellers list for a couple of weeks, don't they? >> guest: yeah, they do. specifically the ann coulter book, she switched publishers largely because of one point anytime you put a book with her name and her face on the cover, it would have guaranteed sales well into the six figures. with time that has been dropping and dropping. it seems as if she has had to bump rhetoric and argumentative streak in order to sell fewer and fewer copies. so it will be interesting to see what she does for her next book and how far she is willing to go to make a buck to sell the book so to speak. >> guest: i thought "drift" by rachel maddow went beyond the usual pundit polemic vote. it's questioning american military power and a lot of that you could say is not really written from a liberal perspective. she is an unabashed and liberal but she is also, she is on tv but i think she has a ph.d. in something. political science i think and i think charles murray would be gummy probably would not want to be called the pundit. he is famous for the controversy over the bell curve but this is a book that looks at the white working class and looked at the white working class to try to separate class from race which complicates everything and he looks at how the values of the lower white working class has gone down hill and there is this sort of white elite adopts a middle-class and sort of a complex argument. he goes to two places to describe these things. is inching and provocative book so more than someone is ranting and raving. >> host: and of course -- with the american enterprise institute so not fair to call him a political pundit. what about glenn beck? he launched his own imprint but his flock show is off the air. can you see the results in his sales? >> guest: as far as i can tell, glenn beck, what he has been doing since he left fox's has been really trying to build a brand that reaches a dedicated community not only through satellite oriented radio show. he is a new site called blaise. he does have this dedicated imprint with simon & schuster so i feel like he has been moving toward trying to reach the same dedicated loyal following over and over again and build on that a little bit at a time. rather than necessarily going for the reach that fox had exist this way glenn i suppose can do what glenn does best. what is interesting to see if that he has sort of shifted what he has done over the last few years and no doubt he will continue to adapt his persona over the next year or so. >> guest: he has a new novel out, which is on the u.n. which is interesting for fiction but his previous novel, which is by glenn beck into other people. sometimes we see novels written by two people, james patterson being a great example of that our history books written by two people but usually you don't see three people. i asked him them in the interview, who wrote the book? he said i wrote the book. i said did you write the key part? he said no, these guys did that. i sort of supervised so it's a team effort. so, to call him an author, he might dispute this but it's sort of part of his whole brand of marketing. he has the newsletter and the cable show. he has the internet and he is his own little media empire. whether fox forced him out or he jumped i'm not sure. but he is still very popular and his books sell. he writes about christmas and writes about politics. >> host: prior to taping this interview with sarah and bob minzesheimer, we asked their favorite pics. one of the books was a finalist, kevin powers, the yellow bird. >> guest: i know booktv doesn't do a lot of fiction but the yellow bird is a novel. kevin powers served in iraq. he joined the army. it's an incredible story. he grew up in richmond virginia, joined the army out of high school because that is what people and his family did and ended up serving in iraq. came back it also had this love of poetry. he came back and went to school both undergraduate and got an msa. he has written this beautiful novel. it's a novel about war in the destruction of war and what war does to people. two young kids from virginia. he says it's not all that autobiographical about what happened to him in iraq. but it's a great sense of what it was like to be there for people who have not been there. is called the yellow birds. it's a remarkable accomplishment. >> host: sarah weinman and david nasaw's the patriarch. >> guest: i am almost done reading it. forward ever reason i read fiction faster than nonfiction especially because it's such a thorough and conference and biography of joseph p. kennedy who is the father of president kennedy and many other kennedys also active as having the fcc. he was the ambassador to london. he was in the hollywood film industry. he is course was active in the roosevelt administration. sometimes the relationship between him and the president can get very contentious and i feel he has done an excellent job of putting together so much research and spent more than six years on this book ,-com,-com ma going to archive after archive after archive crosschecking. one of the things he proves definitively is that joe kennedy was not in fact the bootlegger. those rumors persisted for decades. i really really admire the scholarship and i am very glad he spent for many weeks that i have with this book. >> guest: and enduring fascination by the kennedy family. i was talking to someone and we were talking about, one of those alternative history things. what if nixon had beaten kennedy and what it john henriette never been president? we started thinking of all the thousands of books that never would have been written. there may have been maybe different books written. i once interviewed caroline kennedy who has edited several books, her mother's writing mostly and some tapes from the white house. caroline kennedy is famous for staying on message and talking about certain things. an attempt to get her off that, i said if you ever thought of the idea that kennedy bookstore and she was n

com,-com ma simple straight from the shoulder language that any american can understand with quotations of webster's unabridged dictionary. we are going to have a tough campaign. they constantly try to link up eisenhower nixon constantly try to link up their campaign to football. if there's a college foot wall event going on eisenhower is there. if there's a football event going on nixon is going to be there. they love football and they love the metaphors that football plays for the conceptions of politics. it's right after nixon has given the speech in which eisenhower has said okay you are going to stay on and we are going to fight this together that nixon finally is this moment where he is sitting across from eisenhower in his car, and he says to eisenhower after the speeches gone off and eisenhower has praised him, this is just like war general. our opponents are mounting a massive attack against me and they have taken a bad beating. is at this moment that we fight and we go for the jugular. you don't let up. this is really area much the kind of style of campaigning the richard nixon he came known for throughout his political career, not just them. and this is the sort of thing that i want to tease out with a book, to get at sort of the cultural vision of politics that richard nixon has. i think it's a culture, cultural and political vision that we are still with today, the whole kind of taking populism and divorcing it from any economic vision and making it about a personality about whether or not a person is likeable or an ordinary average american. that is still very much with us, the divisive political campaigning where you are trying to drive your point off the cliff is clearly still with us. is a form of politics that is codified in the checkers speech but also we are still living with today. that is why wrote the book and again i tried to write this in a way that tells it from the point of both a person who is a historian but also someone who is trying to write it and hopefully an entertaining sort of novelistic approach and that's is where. i'm sure knowing the people here that there are some questions that you probably have of me and i'm happy to take what you have to ask. [applause] thank you. >> thank you kevin. we all want to take your questions. i wish that they were at least skyped so that we could mix of politics and the culture. we are going to use the microphone which is over here, so the viewing audience can hear your question as well. these events are recorded so people who couldn't come tonight can also be able to get the benefit of the event. so for those who have questions or a brief comment, please go to the microphone and if you're comfortable, tell us your name. >> i have a request actually for some background, more background on the scandal itself and sort of the atmosphere and all the legal background on campaign financing at that point in time. and how the public felt in general about campaign finance and taking money, getting support, financial support from the people, the rich people and from the industries that the name. what was it like that and, and what was the responsibility of presidential candidates as far as disclosing their sources and so forth? >> nixon has lawyers look at what the fund was really about if he was contributing to it, how they contributed to it, whether or not there were any demands tied into their giving them money. and the lawyers, and of course some of us being relatively -- found he was completely in sit-in and that is what they find. most of the laws about campaign finance were laws that had been passed in the progressive era and you know there wasn't a lot of attention paid to campaign finance. this kind of introduces the campaign finance question very quickly. i don't think there was anything illegal. i don't think it past the smell test. i think people look at it suspiciously. by the letter cloth no he didn't do this and that was clear. one of the parts of the story that gets kind of messy, that adlai stevenson had a fund that was somewhat similar to nixon's fund and once that emerges, nixon taken money from rich guys and makes them exceptional kind of goes away. there was nothing illegal about it at the letter of the law. it doesn't pass the smell test by in most peoples's mind and the question is, is nixon influenced by the money? there are ways you can see connections between those who are giving him the money in the legislation that he had fought for as a senator up to that point in time and is a congressperson. there is clearly some sense that you have kind of pro-real estate, anti-public housing policies that nixon was doing and there were a lot of real estate men giving them money. my argument though is that i think nixon would have done those things without the money. i think this was a guy who was ideologically committed to kind of stripping the new deal as much as he possibly could, getting credit public housing. i think you would have done that without the money at the way it was perceived at the time, i think you know ,-com,-com ma it followed the divisive nature of politics. there were a lot of liberals who showed that nixon was corrupted and he had taken kickbacks. most americans when they're pulling him at this time don't seem to be all that aware of what is happening with this. they have some sense that there is money but there is not a really great detailed understanding. most of the legislation on the books is quite old but he has not ever found doing something that is it legal in something kicks them out of politics. >> what was the response to the charge and what was said about it? >> it's really amazing. the speech itself really is an amazing evasion of the original charges. i mean it is just simply a classic he lied and he doesn't really have anything much to say about the original charges that got them into trouble. so, he immediately kind of takes and says okay you know you have heard these charges about how i am correct. the beginning of the speech again having seen it too many times, he get

com,-com ma the secretary of state's computers weren't enough and they needed to get another set of computer servers. so who did he go to but smart tech? and smart text role in this raises a lot -- an enormous amount of very very interesting questions. i went through the returns of people who studied it. they were civil law students. you could see when the returns came in that night and what happened as the night wore on on i believe it was november 2, 2004, it was a very very close election. it was clear the election would come down to who won florida, who won ohio and these were the last two key battleground states. around 11:00, the network finally called it for florida and that meant there was one crucial state outstanding, ohio. whoever won ohio would be the electoral college. the exit polls were in and they showed kerry winning ohio by 4.2% and suddenly millions of people started logging onto the secretary of state computer in ohio. traffic went through the roof, it went up 700%. that meant the computers in tennessee had to be kicked in at 11:14:00 p.m.. suddenly in county after county there were striking anomalies and in the next 10 counties in a row. this raises a lot of serious questions about who actually won the election. i went about as far as i could in tracing this down, and the terms of pinning it down conclusively, unfortunately, there were still some unanswered questions. the reason for that is that again and again, all the evidence was damaged and there was a court order as a result of one of the lawsuits to impound all the ballots. but suddenly over a million ballots were damaged or disappeared. in 2006, new secretary of state, democratic secretary of state was elected in ohio and she was about to take office. she went by her new offices just before she formally took office and when she when then, she saw everyone there under the direction of the old secretary of state, shredding thousands and thousands of documents. and finally, in the civil suit a man named mike o'connell was scheduled to testify. he deposed once and gave one deposition. he was scheduled to give another and he was rove's cyber guru. he supposedly had all the answers and on december 19, 2008, his plane crashed. so there were a lot of unanswered questions about that. c. you can watch this and other programs on line of booktv.org. >> the book starts out with a combat mission in 2003 ,-comm ma with a combat mission in 2003 north and its town in iraq called nasiriyah. are you guys marines? no? okay. there was a marine unit that got cut off there and the biggest sandstorm i have ever seen in my life had rolled into saudi arabia and iraq and covered the whole continent except for that one little corner where we were. and somebody had to get down a need that stuff try to save these marines. so that is what the book opens with. i talk a little bit about the history and most of what i did. i was a wild weasel. anybody know what that is? you guys or air force? cadets? okay, good. you have already been there, done that. i was a wild weasel. wild weasel is a very unique and screwy kind of person whose job in life is to go out and get shot at by certain austere missiles and antiaircraft artillery. if you survive in when and when you survive to go back around and you remove those threats so they don't bother anybody else. not going to tell you with the first guy said when asked hi

[applause] >> thank you so much murray and thank you everyone and their good friends on call. at such an honor to be here to be included in the summit and thank you all for your attention. one of our speakers earlier today, former congressman tom allen who is now at the aap talks about how the world of publishing is divided into many different industries really now and i would say that the corner that i hail in children's publishing is rapidly becoming even more different from our big books, partners on the adult side. we actually call it a dull publishing and we take it into this neal james family means one thing into us it means adult books versus children's books. children's books, it's interesting when he think about the context of yesterday as well because we been looking at the past and talking a lot about classics and very ancient and beautiful books such as the ones we saw last night. the entire field of children's books is actually fairly young in the scheme. the whole idea of creating literature specifically for children is rather new in a large history of publishing. and i think that is something that is very interesting when you look at also some big, big titles that have united us over the past couple of decades. "harry potter" which has been mentioned, twilight of course. a lot of these books have come out of the children's and teen arena and they have united readers actually of all ages in this sort of imagined community. but there was a time not that long ago, time when i began my career when that wasn't really true. i think i was probably always destined one way or another in the world of books. i think my father knew this because when i was just about to head off to college, he took me out for breakfast and he didn't live with me at the time but he took met for breakfast and he he said i hope you find your college education as long as you promise this one thing and the one thing was, don't major in english. [laughter] he had a good insights. he was hoping, virtually everythineverythin g else i could've picked would have been fine. with that wisdom of youth i agreed and i've went to college and studied croatian poetry. and even more direct path to the job market was mine when i graduated. and i definitely wanted to go in the publishing. i had lofty ideals of what i would do and what i would publish in the types of books i would work on. i went to what was then a radcliffe publishing course and now is the -- publishing course but i hadn't did my homework and there is a tremendous amount of homework you had to do big for you should do the course and begin showing my wisdom, i did not do my homework and as a punishment i was put into children's books. at that time nobody wanted to be in children's books. at first i protested and i thought this is awful but actually when i met the practitioners who are teaching the children's book course, they were amazing people. they were so dedicated to their craft and that one summer they completely changed not just my view of what children's books were but my entire life are going going to that going go into new york and working for one of them in what was then the ep dutton. the day that i arrived was also the day of the announcement of the first of many mergers which would take ep dutton through penguin and now of course penguin and random house intermarriage. when i arrived it was this office on park avenue that have been its home for 100 years and one of my jobs is the lowest assistant on the totem pole was to keep something called the key to the centennial library. the centennial library was actually in the lobby of the building. you would walk in, roll out the carpet, but the key in the door and the wall would swing open like in batman or something. and behind it was the archives. in that archives there were just amazing treasures. there was for example ernest munster who invented the -- book. how to make the first pop of books and things like that on also in my little cubicle which is actually a closet, a locked file cabinet. i always wondered what was in that file cabinet. cabinet. one night i found the got it opened and the thatcher was full of royalty checks that in the system did not want to mail and instead he kept them in the filing cabinet. [laughter] the bottom drawer was filled with original art from kernan shepherd, loss for dozens of years and ended up in the children's museum in new york. all of this was going on for me, the sort of entry into the world of publishing and this discovery by publishing past when all these mergers and things were happening at the same time. we were very quickly moved out of those offices, combined and put into larger much offices and that is how my career went, watching this amazing world of big business intersect with this artisan craft and am comfortable tension between those two things. them one at a chance to move to a company called counter would present summerhill massachusetts i was very excited. candlewick was a new company. we are only 20 years this year so i've been there for 13 years out of the 20 and we publish only children's books. we start with zero and go off with two teenagers and publish some books about the craft of children's literature as well. and we are part of a group of companies that have its origins by man named sebastian walker who is a bread and a publisher in corporate england. he decided he needed to make a place where authors and illustrators could essentially calm as a haven. he founded this company and when he died he he left has accompanied to his family and have to the employees. we eventually purchased the whole company. so we have now walker books australia, a children's television company that's very small in new and we have the two big tresses in the united states. in london, but we also have our owners 150 of our authors and illustrators who publish for us for a long time and invited them to be partners in the company. what this usually means is they are as depressed at the end of the year as of the year as the rest of us when there's not a tremendous amount of profit to share. in the good years that also means we are able to thank them for everything that they do. i think it's also a fabulous reminder to those of us who work on the creative teams that illustrators are really what it's all about. they are part of the strategy the company and with this model we have him so long and we have been able to really publish some amazing books and amazing authors. as i said we try to do it globally wherever possible and wherever practical and we are really i think an incubator in a way for the connectedness that is now affecting all industry. basically in order to get our print runs big enough to work and to have the company survive we have always had to work with each other. even though we are sharing a common language, there is a lot of challenges to that in our day-to-day process of the. that is candlewick press and walker books and that is who we are. the other thing i just wanted to quickly say about the sort of challenges -- ave say we are talking a lot about the place where digital and print publishing meet and for the wide a portion, young adult portion, when you're talking about children's books and you are talking about looks for children zero to three or zero to 26, what does that mean? i think it's just a whole other question and a big new set of issues. there is a phrase that often comes up in our meetings when people are getting very stressed for one reason or another. the margins aren't working and sales aren't happening or something is going on a loop in the room and someone inevitably obey says okay, these are children's books, it's not brain surgery. but a few years ago, it suddenly hit me, actually it is brain surgery because what we are doing is creating the books that are building the reading brain, hopefully. that is something that we keep very much in mind. we are trying to make the best books for children always end our definition of that really means the hoax that will help children grow up to be lifelong readers. that is their definition of the best book. as they are figuring out how in their own mind that part of us, that speech that is inherent in part of us, that vision is inherent in putting it together and learning how to read in learning how to write, what does that mean in the world a world of tablets and devices and apps instead of a tactile world of beautiful objects? i think it means only good things but right now i would say we are definitely in the middle of the big squeeze. if you'll pardon the metaphor, maybe it's the birth canal and we will see what happens will make him out on the other side. but it is a very very interesting time and i think it's important for all of us to -- who clearly cares much about books to remember with this golden age of production that's going on, we need to figure out how to make those connections with the very youngest children and get them reading right away. that is the key to any future that we want to have. thanks. [applause] >> i think that is the first time i have ever heard children's publisherpublisher s being referred to as brain surgeon but it's very true. in fact i'm going to ask a question about that in a moment. we actually have time for a very few questions so we only have 15 minutes. which means i will limit it to the big question in the big question, i have two big questions really. the first big question to all of you is really, are there too many books? i remember bill keller of "the new york times" complaining that there are just too many on the market and certainly self-publishing amazon and google have in their rush of publishing have her haps taken a different stand on the standards and perhaps even lowered the bar of quality in the kind of books that nan is talking about are all of us are talking about really. because they see it as a money-making business. the margin turnout -- the larger the turnout the more money you're going to make. doesn't matter if it's self-published books or whatever but what happens of course is the publishing enterprise that requires gatekeeping and judgment and a notion of what is it that makes a book great and lasting an enduring and a piece of literature or a piece of important information, sometimes that goes by the five when you keep making more and more books. so i ask you, are we making too many books? certainly the librarians in the audience who have been archiving them may be are a little careful when i quoted the figures about the 50,000 going to 330,000 going to 1 million going to 3 million. are republishing too many books, nico? >> those of you in the audience who are readers of the new york review of books i'm interested to know how many of you have noticed in the last year or two how many of the ads in the new york review of books are actually ads from what are called vanity presses ,-com,-com ma i universe, author house because what struck me, and i traffic in moving circles that will pay a lot of attention to advertising in the real books is how remarkably few academics see those ads. i think that is actually a youthful -- useful metaphor for all the 3 million new books. i actually think they are largely invisible. i don't think they clutter the literary landscape in the sense that people think they do. i think the people just don't see them and i think you could make the point that in each of the last issues over the last year or two i would say it has been one of the top to advertisers for the new york review of books in for a press like oxford who publishes nonfiction i think it's fantastic. what it means is shoring up the important review vehicle for us without necessitating our advertising dollars. [laughter] and so what it is, every author understandably wants to be red. you are making a comment earlier about the importance of hope over experience and we all tr

thank you ,-com,-com ma and i'm stronger also.aughter] the title of your book "my beloved world" is from a poem in your book called to puerto rico i returned. what were your reflections in choosing that title? >> in the poem, there is a line that talks about returning to my beloved world, and my world is not puerto rico alone but puerto rico is an important slice of it i thought that it was so fitting to call this book my beloved world by introducing the world to the things i loved. despite descriptions of some very sad things in difficult times and some challenges. the book is about love. a love of life, a love of peopls that have strengthened me even in their challenges. and so the title just seemed right. and, do you know something? if you have ever visited puerto rico, it's a great place to go to. [laughter] by the way, you know when september 11 came, all of the safing not just in new york that and the entire world were riveted by the news. one of the journalists, and one from the midwest, said to the reporter you know i've b

talk to wyclef jean i think like a lot of people haitian and otherwise who come into work there ,-com,-com ma i think he really does have big dreams and i think he really does mean what he says when he says that he wants his organization to help life get better. but the organization has been shut down. i don't know if there is going to be a criminal follow up to what has happened but it's pretty ugly. things didn't turn out well for the people he was supposed to be helping. >> with all the problems that occurred during katrina, why do you think they didn't do a more effective job, particularly with engagement of president bush and clinton in haiti? everybody here? correct me if i'm wrong but after everything that i gone wrong with katrina why didn't they do a better job with engagement at presidents bush and katrina and haiti? the that's a very good question. basically this is not the first time that aid has gone wrong, that it does not than what it has set out to do in many cases made problems worse. people who work in aid and development can tell you development can tell you over and over a

c-span: here you are an april 6 ,-com,-com ma 2011, about a year ago.ten. >> i was shocked by the response, that in covering the wars in iraq and afghanistan for five years and usually no one cares. and i don't mean that ironically. it's just like there is this jaw-dropping stuff that comes out every week that's going on in iraq and afghanistan that leaves nary a dent in our public consciousness. my thinking at the time was i knew it was good material but my thinking was well, maybe it will be on cable for a couple of hours and then i will go on my merry way and write a book about my time with the crazy general. c-span: that is the george polk award and every time your name is now mentioned in the press, polk award-winning journalist michael hastings, i probably, 999 people don't have any idea who george polk was or the award. why's that so important? >> guest: for me it was a great honor. the polk wart is the most prestigious award given to investigative journalist and so by then giving me that award gave the example -- stamp of approval for the journa

com,-com ma more than a quarter of the cost. so the choices that we face ball not just to the federal government but also to other stakeholders in the system. and then it's also clear that we need to engage consumers, not just consumers of public programs that consumers of private programs as well in the effort to contain and make staple the cost of our health care system. it's always worthwhile reminding ourselves that 5% of our population accounts for 65% of the cost of health care and that population more than any other needs assistance with better information, failure related choices and an opportunity to control their destiny in the health care area. we cannot move forward effectively without empowering them and making the system work better for them. the panelists that you will be hearing from, stewart said the vice president and executive director of the commonwealth fund commission on high performance health systems, it karen ignagni president and chief executive officer of america's health insurance plans and bob subfive, chief executive officer for equity health care from the blackstone group. thanks for your attention. we hope you will find this worthwhile and i think our first presentation will be from stewart. >> stuart, if i could just handle a little housekeeping before you start. you know you have information your packets including not only copies of the slides that we have available beforehand but also materials that i hope you will find useful in background. there is also an additional sheet that lists at lunch of other materials that we save trees by not reprinting. if you go to our web site at at all health.org you can find links to all of those documents, and we commend them to you. if you you're watching on c-span right now, and have access to a computer, you can follow along with the powerpoint slides on our web site, all health.org. just click on the item about today's briefing. there will be a webcast available tomorrow probably followed by a transcript of today's discussion in a few days. also on our web site and i would urge you with the appropriate time to fill out both the green question card which you will find and/or -- forget the or, and before you leave we would very much appreciate you filling out an evaluation form that you will find, the blue one, so we can improve these briefings and be of even more value to you. as david said we have three terrific panelist today. i should have mentioned in introducing david that in the past several years, in addition to his other duties, he chaired and continues to chair i think the commonwealth commission on high performance health system which produced and improve the report that stuart is going to talk about and stuart is the executive director of. so mr. galvin go right ahead. >> thanks, ed and thanks david. the commission on high performance health system has produced this report on confronting cost to try to address the problems that david described. and, as david said the underlying principle here is that it's a health system problem, health spending is something that puts pressure across-the-board on federal, state local governments and also businesses and workers and their families and the problems that health spending causes need to be addressed systemwide as well because they reside systemwide. pushing down on one part of the system to his address this problem won't do away with those problems even if it does solve some of the apparent symptoms. the first thing that the commission said needs to be done is that we need to set a total health spending target to gdp growth. the figures are well-known and the united states has spent much more money on health care than any other country in the world and the commission felt that holding health gdp growth ought to be a legitimate target nationwide, not just the federal government. and it also, they viewed this as a motivating force similar to the action taken by the massachusetts state legislature which set a target for state health spending. they felt that this would drive action to take and implement policies that are effectively controlling health spending but they didn't mean this as a -- that is if you don't fit we will chop off your feet to get there. they mean to propose a set of policies that they feel are going to be effective at addressing rising health spending and if that target is not met by implementing those policies than those policies ought to be accelerated further. there are three pillars that they are recommending, a three-pronged approach to addressing health spending growth. one is provided payment reform, and that means to move toward better payment that pays for what we want to see the health care system produce rather than increasing volume and increasing intensity without necessarily concomitant and if it's two patients. the second prong, the second pillar is to provide and support high-value choices by consumers and as david said that means not just to increase the skin in the game but to provide better choices that consumers can make them provide them with the information to make those choices and reward them for make in those choices. and then the third pillar is to make markets work better so that regardless of what approach you take that the incentives that are embedded in the system will work better and be more effective at producing the results that we want, which are essentially summarized in the tripling better health, better care and lower costs. the commission developed a set of illustrated policies that we feel have the potential to say $2 trillion. the potential effect of these policies was the result that we got. and the impact of these three sets of policies is portrayed here on this slide and you can see that two-thirds of the $2 trillion worth of of the potential savings are in provider payment reforms that make sense because the key here is to provide better incentives, better rewards for the health care delivery system to produce the kind of care that and it fits its patience in a more efficient and effective way. the increases in information and better choices for consumers was estimated to produce about $190 billion in savings over the tenure period from 2013 to 20203. and a couple of the policies -- i want to mention a couple of policies that are embedded in some of these pillars. among provider payment reform we are talking about accelerating bundled payments for a two-tier episode, to force the issue on providers getting away from thinking about reviving services to the patient in front of them but rather thinking more broadly about how the patient can be treated and the bundle of services provided to those patients. we are talking about strengthening primary care and support care for high complex patients because that is where the money is and that is what's illustrated in the slide that david presented. but it's also where most of the benefits can be because these folks who have multiple chronic conditions are folks who are in dire need of more cori need the care. by their policies to expand and encourage choice by consumers, we are really talking about restructuring the medicare benefit package that we referred to as the medicare essential that will provide integrated in effect across what is currently split out into part a, part b, separate part d private plans in the medigap policy or supplemental policies that most medicare beneficiaries are in traditional medicare and to provide incentives for the use of high-value care and care systems to provide better -- i enhancing pentacle information available on outcomes patient experiences and accelerated meaningful use of health technology. so that is necessary even though it accounts for a relatively small proportion of totals savings estimated. it's necessary to make the system work better. as pointed out you need to engage consumers but engage them with positive incentives. there have been some interest in the medicare essential option and we are in the process of trying to get that paper published. we are currently reviewing and will hopefully have that paper published before long and will talk to folks about that. about that proposal. under making markets work bettet simplifying and unifying administrative policy so that you have reduced administratively in our health care system. health care system. we are talking about malpractice reform that focuses on the adoption of best practices and rewards physicians and other practitioners by adopting best practices and hopefully that will increase not only increase patient safety but also reduce malpractice claims. and malpractice premiums that many doctors find so burdensome. the $2 trillion inessential savings over a 10 year period also fall across each of the different major specters of the health system. the federal government, we estimate will save about $1 trillion with that over a 10 year period because health care costs will grow more slowly because they will be better integrated, better informed and because there'll be incentives in place that don't provide providers with better care but rewards them with providing better care instead of punishing them for doing many of the things that benefit their patients at the current system does. state and local governments will benefit but the savings in the medicaid program also because state and local governments or large employers in their areas. and private employers will benefit again because they will have better health care systems to provide their employees in the health care costs will grow more slowly and of course households would be a major beneficiary to the tune of about $500 billion in direct savings. but of course households in the end pay the taxes that support government expenditures. they pay premiums through their employers for health coverage. day four wage increases that could be much higher than health costs were they growing as fast so they really capture the whole $2 trillion in the end. we are not talking about -- i hear a lot of talk about if there is really health reform and people fighting for over a dwindling and shrinking tide. i would posit that only in health care with a growth from $2.9 trillion in 2013, to $25.1 trillion in 2003 would be referred to as a shrinking tide. it would be flowing if nothing was done. so, we are talking now, to give you some sense of how -- the magnitude of this -- we are talking about health spending under current policy, totaling $42 trillion over the next 10 years. so if you save $2 trillion ,-com,-com ma you would be reducing health spending to only $40 trillion over the next 10 years. you would be cutting the growth in health spending from an estimated 90% under current policy to only 75% over the next 10 years. so we have to keep that in mind and to keep the perspective that we have a lot of resources and the health care system even under the best of circumstances. the idea is to use these resources more effectively to benefit people. now we have a set of policies that has the potential to bend the cost curve, but the easy part is to identify the policies and the hard part is to get them passed, enacted and implemented effectively and today that to do that we need a set of actions. we need to be building on current momentum and public and private sector programs. we have a lot of examples of real action taking place now among providers, among purchaser groups pushing for action and we can build on that and accelerate that, so this is not a fantasy that we are talking about h

com,-com ma we can look at that program. we also have unique hiring authority. in essence everyone who works for me works at will so i can hire and also remove employees based upon specific needs and need requirements. all of our employees have to sign up for the possibility of working in afghanistan. so it's a unique crowd that we bring. we also have as a result the single largest oversight presence of any u.s. government agency in afghanistan. we have approximately 60 people on the ground right now including the largest cadre of auditors and criminal investigators, more than any other ig, more than any other fbi but it's not just her size in our mandate or unique authorities that is important. it's how we and how i view our mission and how are agency views our mission. when i joined sigar, i made it clear on the first day i got there that you should view this as a mission calm, not as a job. if you view this as a job, if you view it as a place to retire and play, you should leave because i only want people and it's a term i use, with fire in the valley because belly because we have a limited amount of time to do good in reconstruction in afghanistan. i abuse that fire in the belly speech so much that my chief of staff has coined a new term called 50 fire in the belly. aphis be memos and you know something, it worked. i am proud of my 200 agent auditors and investigators because they all have that ire in the belly. they could work elsewhere elsewhere. they are working in conditions as bad as our military is in afghanistan but many of them are housed in the same facility. there are men and women, but they take that mission because they believe in it and that's the difference with sigar. that is why it makes a difference. now, i also told them that we are going to be fair, we are going to be aggressive but we are going to be relevant and we are going to do it quickly. because says the security issue changes there, we are going to make a difference, we have to do it soon. this means we are going to employ traditional ig methods but we are not going to stop there. instead we are going to explore new innovative ways of conducting oversight. some examples of those are that we have the most aggressive suspension and debarment per-gram in the inspector general community. we have recommended 206 entities and individuals for suspension and debarment since this program is launched, far more than any other government agency in afghanistan. this has included 43 individual companies identified as having actively supported insurgent groups. now unfortunately not every agency in the u.s. government has the same prior developments are many times when we prefer companies or individuals for suspension and debarment those referrals are not acted on expeditiously and as quickly as we want. so we have proposed granting sigar or the theater commanders independent suspension and debarment authority that could allow us to get rid of that year's. we are also working more closely than any other law enforcement agency with the afghan police and prosecutors to get afghans charged, tried and convicted in afghan courts for bribery and corruption. now remember, in afghanistan unlike in iraq, where u.s. contractors were predominant, the u.s. government promoted its afghan first initiative, which emphasized prioritizing contracts with afghan owned and operated and operated company's. that is why in order to fulfill our mission of combating fraud in many cases we need to work through the afghan law enforcement and legal system when we uncover criminal activity. that is a challenge, but it has paid dividends. just recently for example, cut it provident and it -- individual was convicted and sentenced to two years in jail after sigar agents went undercover and taped him offering bribes. another thing i told my staff on the first day of work was that we have to be relevant by approaching our work like i did when i was an attorney. obviously there is no attorney-client relationship but we have to view the people who use our reports and our investigation as our client. if what we produce is not used by the commander in the field or the state department or a.i.d. administrators, then we have failed. they are our clients. if our audits are not relevant to congress, the congressional committees who are our clients, for them making decisions on appropriations or authorizations, then we have failed. my criminal investigators produce investigations that the department of justice does not take -- than we have failed. though i emphasize to them, if you have to produce reports and you have to produce investigations that are useful to them. the first thing i did, within a month i went to in the stand and talk to the ambassadors. went around talk to the state department defense department spend a lot of time up in the hills talking to the various congressional committees and their staff, one of which is here today. where is he? about what they needed and what we were doing or not doing to support them in their mission. i hope and i think we have succeeded. you know, the other thing i did that may have appeared odd plus i also reached out to another client. that is the academic and think-tank community. we don't have all the answers and that is one of the reasons why he came here to talk at stimpson and i've talked to people around the country. you see, if we -- at the experts think we are doing the right thing in our audits and investigations in our targets in afghanistan -- and that is why i'm here today to talk to many of you. we have sigar need to get our job right. my team and i are committed to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and are protected from waste, fraud and abuse. if we don't get it right, the mad treasure we have spent over the last 11 years will have been wasted. now that is something and i can give you a commitment today. i and my staff will do everything in our power to ensure it does not happen. thank you very much and i look forward to answering any questions. [applause] b-52 somebody have a question? if not, i will leave. >> dave and eikenberry huffington post. in the past decade we have seen all sorts of accounts of strengths and weaknesses of governmengovernmen t relying on the private sector both for security and that just takes and development work. my question is going forward ,-com,-com ma nobody envisions that government won't be relying on them in the future for future contingency operations. what are your thoughts on ensuring the best effective accountability and oversight in the future. a couple of years ago stuart bowen at your sister agency made a recommendation for across cabinet, cross-agency permanent agency that would do that. i don't know if you think that's a good idea or a bad comic about what thoughts would you offer to achieve that focus? >> i think that's a good question and i don't know if i agree -- would agree with stewart's suggestion of setting up a permanent entity. i think he made that suggestion before afghanistan and sigar. i actually am a strong believer in the special ig. with stewart has done and the powers i was given, i think there is one other special ig. sigtarp is the only other special ig. congress in its infinite wisdom actually gave us tremendous authority, tremendous powers. if you look at the legislation for the regular ig a

com,-com ma specifically flying hours and maintenance. as secretary panetta has reiterated, the focus now must be on taking the threat of sequestration off the table and enacting a budget agreement that will stabilize defense planning for the remainder of fy13 and the years i had. looking ahead our air force will continue to balance competing defense needs among the size of our force structure and today's readiness and modernization for the future. from previous defense drawdowns, we have learned during periods of austerity tough decisions have to be made to avoid a hollow military, one that looks good on paper but has more units and equipment then it can support, lacks the resources to man ,-com-com ma train and maintain them or keep up with advancing technologies. to avoid the perils of a hollow air force we believe the best path oradist to become smaller in order to protect a high-quality and ready force that will improve capabilities over time. more than two decades of war and other operations have had an impact on our readiness, is straining our airmen and their families come covered using opportunities for training and taking a toll on equipment. the need for modernization is pervasive across our air force. while service life extension programs and modifications have largely kept our inventories up to date, the cost of maintenance and sustainment is rising as budgets are flattening and new threats and technologies required new investments. like the other services the air force will work with, our defense leadership to fine-tune our plans and programs as we confront both a dynamic security environment and the nation's fiscal challenges as well. we will adjust and compromi

democrats would have voted against it and they could've run on that and now democratic debate ,-com,-com ma small d democratic debate needs to happen the senate. >> host: i want to go back to this one chart and show you what the speaker based in his re-election efforts. he had 12 party defections. the last time we saw something like that was with dennis hastert who had five in the 109th congress. newt gingrich in 105th congress and of course stepped down as speaker of the house. how big of a deal was this? >> guest: we don't know yet. we don't know if this was a small little rebellion that is in consequential or the harbinger of worse things to come for john boehner. you know these members who have voted against him tend to be always on the fringes of things. i think they are voting not because of their districts demanding they vote against john boehner. i think it's because of the personal animus and for the members who voted against boehner were kicked off committees of jurisdiction by the steering committee in previous weeks. so you have definitely some personal animus. unlike what newt

in about a 10 minute period of time ,-com,-com ma adam lanza had to reload twice.two times he had to reload. things would've been different if that was nine or 10 or 11. second, i think there is a question as to whether he would've driven in his mother's car in the first place if he didn't play a video game to give him a false sense of courage of what he could do that day. we know that there will be little girls and boys will be effective for the rest of their lives. gun lobbyists have said this is a feel-good piece of legislation. it would feel really good if allison and charlotte and daniel and olivia and josephine had got to enjoy christmas with her parents are it would feel really good josephine and matalin and catherine and jesse and james and anna were able to go to school this morning. and emily ann jackson and no and carolyn and jessica and all those children. it would feel really good if parents do not do wake up every morning wondering if their kids were at risk just like those kids in newtown. it's going to be hard and difficult. but to honor those 20 li

the reality is that even in a very tight economy ,-com,-com ma there are all types of industries in our country which have used the work of immigrants every day to achieve the economic goals of those industries. if you got up this morning and had fruit for breakfast it was probably picked by an immigrant worker. if you in fact had vegetables for -- or chicken for lunch it was probably by the hands of the immigrant workers. if you slept in the hotel or motel so the nation you probably had your room done by an immigrant worker. if you were looking at some of the cutting-edge technologies, you probably saw the ability of making america a more prosperous and competitive place in the world by the intellect of an immigrant worker. so, in so many dimensions this is about the economy of our nation as well. and finally, to elements of this that i think are incredibly important within all of the principles that i support is the fact that we have seen in other countries in the world where there is no pathway to citizenship that there is instability. the reality is that this will be an arduous path

so that if you look at the outbreak of the war in 1991 and 1992 ,-com,-com ma one of the things thatncouraging their sons to become an increasingly chauvinistic agenda. so it doesn't mean that exactly, who felt complimented. who fell for the first time that they were a part of something bigger than the one just domestic creatures by being asked to be the supportive wife or the beautiful daughter. these things are quite profound for american women and that is why militarization can be difficult, even if women have no desire to take up a weapon or two be on the front lines and become militarized. the militarization happens to a lot of good people and happens if you take all the people in the world who are militarized, and the majority of the people who are militarized our civilians. we are militarized insofar values and certain beliefs about whether hierarchy is the best way to organize or whether it is about mending the protectors and women being the grateful protected. and militarization happens in so far as you can adopt the worldview is. increasingly, as we adopt all of those world

again my name is stephanie schriock president of emily's list ,-com,-com ma though as mentioned, grew up in you've montana where my heart and soul still resides. it's great to be your today. i want to thank you all for joining us this morning and also give a special thanks to the national press club for having me and for setting this all up. it's really an honor for me to be here today. and commack -- for those of you who don't know as much about emily's list, emily's list has been around now 27 years and we are solely committed to electing pro-choice democratic women to office up and down the ballot across the country. we did as mentioned have a pretty good election cycle in 2012. but the two years before that were rough for american women and i would say like most folks, i was more than ready to see the 112th congress and. at emily's list we couldn't have been more excited to see this new congress gaveled then on thursday, this past thursday. we saw the swearing in of senator mazie hirono, senator tammy baldwin, senator elizabeth warren and they were joined with 20 women in the unit

the people obey the law, followed the law, get an education ,-com,-com ma give them the chance to beided and citizens of this country. just make sure that we have immigration reform that we have a fair immigration reform. do we understand security. i can tell you porting mayors know very well at the border commie talk about el paso, you have the lowest crime rate along the border in the rio grande valley in your part of the country. yet unfortunately, when you really say my gosh, laredo, texas, you can even want to die. the problem is on the other side. people need to come to the border and see what's happening. i would invite the congress, men and women and senators to come to the radio, texas and the border and see how trade is booming. that's what it's about. this conversation of comprehensive immigration reform is a positive conversation. i think everybody would agree that we don't want smugglers. we don't want your dealers. we don't want any criminals in this country. i think that's very clear. i can tell you the fbi agent, i think i know a little bit about security having spent

so the true issue i think having to do with their liberty is federal spending ,-com,-com ma not wherethe taxes are but where the federal spending is. that is, and keep in mind that from 1787 to 1920 the federal government was no more than 3% of the gdp except during wartime. today, the federal government is somewhere between 25 to 30% of gdp. c-span: here you are 1988 in the middle of well, now you are still in the middle of -- the end of the ronald reagan term. let's watch. >> well i would say that the reagan administration has not delivered on its campaign promises, things like dismantling the department of education, getting rid of the department of energy, cutting down on government spending. clearly government spending is far more than it was when reagan took office. taxes are greater. in terms of performance, in terms of delivering our campaign promises in 1988 think it is indeed a failure in that sense. now, it's a success in another sense, namely that i think that the level of debate has been raised in our country on a whole range of issues. a key one is the legitimate role of

as an informed society ,-com,-com ma we need data. the president signed a directive that allows the cdc to begin gathering information. and i think that that is a very important step. let me conclude by saying once again, thank you. thank you for allowing me the opportunity to come and be as explicit and long and hopefully not exceptionally boring and laying out tv elements of what we believe we need. let me acknowledge the truth. too many in this country have been silenced too long. [applause] we cannot -- we cannot be silent any longer. those 20 beautiful children who lost their lives are no longer able to speak for themselves. we have to speak for them. 900 people who lost their lives in new york city. they are not able to speak for themselves and we have to speak for them. more than 9000 lives lost to gun violence each year are no longer able to speak for themselves and somebody has to speak for them. we need to fix this. this time, this time will not be like times have come before. newtown, connecticut, has shocked the nation the

moving his family to new york ,-com,-com ma richard nixon entered what he would call his wilderness years. after the goldwater rockefeller like death in 1964, with our party bitterly divided, the boss volunteered to introduce the nominee at the cow palace and did so in one of the finest addresses he ever delivered. after he brought back contentious convict -- convention together with his introduction senator goldwater mike eurothin proceeded to declare extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. dwight chapin you introduced me was in the limousine who carried the boss away from the palace. dwight has told me what the boss said in that car about senator goldwater's speech. there is no need to whites to repeat those discouraging words. [laughter] almost all of the other big-name republicans abandon senator goldwater. the old man stood by him and traveled the nation working longer and harder for goldwater than did the senator himself. after the crushing defeat, the republican party party was reduced 2-1/2 of the democratic party strength. 140 house seats and 32 senate seats and only 17 g

quieren comprar un arma, también requerirá acción por parte del congreso, donde hay fuerte resistencia para formar cualquier ley que se pueda interpretar como un veto a la posesión de armas, un 60% del público apoya una prohibición de los rifles de asalto y limitra la violencia en televisión, cine y videojuegos. >>> pablo, hablando de esta resistencia de llegar a usar la acción ejecutiva el presidente barack obama, algunos dicen que no las pondrían en vigor, qué dijo el alguacil de oregon. >>>ssí, el alguacil tim muller dice que sí el interpreta que esto restringe el derecho de las

están tomando, también me siento profundamente conmovido por la fe, el presidente y yo hacemos todo lo que podamos para tomar la determinación que tomamos, este acto terrible no se pudo haber evitado, y hacemos todo a nuestro alcance para que esto no vuelva a suceder, el presidente y yo hemos trabajado por mucho tiempo desde el senado de estados unidos, habiendo presidido una reunion para el control de armas, y habiendo redactado el primer y último proyecto de ley de control de armas, no tengo ilusiones de cuan difícil es la tarea que tenemos, pero nunca he visto la conciencia del país tan conmovida por lo que pasó en sandy hook, el mundo ha cambiado, y por eso el presidente me ha pedido que presente recomendaciones de como proceder para encarar esa obligación moral, y los miembros del gabinete nos reunimos con 229 grupos, autoridades, de salud pública, deportistas, cazadores, lideres religiosos, y demás, he conversado con lideres del congreso en ambos partidos, conversaciones con alcaldes, legisladores, ediles, y presentamos una serie de recomendaciones pidiendo proyectos de ley, decisiones ejecutivas en base al consenso emergente, incluyendo a ustedes que han sido víctimas de este acontecimiento, formas de evitar la violencia para comenzar, debemos hacer tanto como podamos, no podemos ser complacientes en este sentido, algunos van a escuchar cosas inmediatas, otras toman tiempo, pero estamos aquí con la determinación de seguir con esta lucha, también hablamos con un joven, collin, que fue uno de los sobrevivientes, de la masacre en el tecnológico de virginia, él se autodescribe como uno de los 7 afortunados, le dispararon 4 veces, y aún tiene 3 balas en su cuerpo, le preguntamos ¿que debemos hacer? y dijo que no está acá por lo que le pasó a él, sino porque esto sigue pasando, collin, vamos a hacerlo, te prometo que lo vamos a hacer, esta es nuestra intención, debemos hacer lo que debemos ahora, y no hay persona más comprometida que el presidente de los estados unidos, el presidente barack obama. >> gracias. >> gracias. >> muchas gracias. >> gracias a todos, por favor tomen asientos, buenas tardes a todos, permitanme comenzar dando las gracias a nuestro vice presidente joe biden por su dedicación a este tema, por haber llevado a la mesa tantas voces distintas, porque si bien es un reto difícil reducir la violencia con armas de fuego, proteger a nuestros niños no tiene que ser un asunto divisivo, en el mes ocurrido en la tragedia en newtown, hemos escuchado a mucha gente, ninguna persona más afectada que los familias de estos hermosos niños, los maestros, representantes, la gente que perdimos, le quiero dar las gracias a la gente que vino aquí, reconocer que honramos su memoria haciendo todo lo posible para evitar que esto pase, pero también escuchamos esto de gente que no esperabamos, algunas cartas de niños, 4 están aquí, ellos son representativos de algunos de los mensajes que ha recibido, cartas muy inteligentes, de chicos muy inteligentes, ella de tercer grado, puedes saludar para que sepan quien eres, ella escribió: "yo me siento terrible por los padres que perdieron a sus hijos, amo a mi país, y quiero que mi país se sienta seguro." grant escribió: "yo creo que debe haber cambios, debemos aprender de lo que pasó en sandy hook". >> julia dijo : "no temo por mi seguridad, sino por la de otros, tengo 4 hermanos y hermanas y no podría soportar perder a uno de ellos, y estos son nuestros chicos, esto es lo que ellos piensan del asunto, así que lo que tenemos que pensar nosotros es la responsabilidad de velar por ellos y protegerlos de cualquier daño y darle los instrumentos necesarios para crecer, y que puedan hacer todo de lo que son capaces, no solo en pos de sus sueños, sino para construir la nación, es nuestra primera tarea, velar por la seguridad de los niños, así seremos juzgados, y sus voces deben instarnos a cambiar, por eso el mes pasado le pedí a joe un esfuerzo con miembros de mi gabinete, para presentar medidas concretas para adoptar, para evitar estas masacres, para reducir la epidemia de la violencia de armas de fuego en este país, el jueves pasado cuando las cadenas de televisión estaban cubriendo una de las reuniones de joe, supimos de otro tiroteo en una escuela de california, en el mes desde que 20 niños fueron arrebatados de nosotros, más de 900 de nuestros conciudadanos han perdido la vida producto de armas de fuego, 900, en el último mes, y cada día que esperamos ese día, ese número sigue en aumento. estoy rpesentando medidas especificas, basadas en el trabajo encabezado por joe, y los próximos días, voy a usar mi cargo para hacer esto realidad, si bien no hay un grupo de leyes que evite los actos de violencia, ninguna ley va a evitar todas las tragedias o actos de maldad, pero si hay una sola cosa que podemos hacer, si podemos salvar una sola vida, entonces tenemos la obligación de intentarlo, y yo voy a hacer de mi parte, cuando termine de hablar aquí, me voy a sentar en este escritorio, y voy a firmar una orden ejecutiva, ordenando a las comunidades, para darle los instrumentos que necesitan para reducir la violencia, vamos a fortalecer el sistema de revision de antecedentes, más funcionarios a las escuelas, más consejerias, y que el personal de salud mental sepa que tiene recursos, aunque sepamos que una persona con enfermedad mental tiene más posibilidad de ser victima que perpetrador de crimen, y año a año, los que se oponen a estas medidas, se amenaza que corten fondos, le voy a pedir al centro de control de enfermedades que investiguen de los efectos de la violencia, no nos beneficiamos de la ignorancia, de no saber la realidad científica, detrás de esta epidemia de violencia, estas son solo algunas de las decisiones ejecutivas que voy a tomar, pero importantes como estos pasos no constituyen en modo alguno un reemplazo de los miembros del congreso para hacer una diferencia real y perdurable, el congreso debe actuar, y le pido al congreso que apruebe algunas propuestas muy especificas de forma inmediata, es hora que el congreso exija una revisión universal de antedecentes para cualquier persona que quiera comprar un arma. la ley ya exige que los vendedores hagan este proceso, y eso ha evitado que más de 1 millones y medio de personas inapropiadas obtengan armas, pero aproximadamente el 40% de las ventas de armas, se hace sin esta verificación, eso no es seguro, ni inteligente, ni justo, respecto a las personas responsables que compran o venden armas, si usted quiere comprar armas de un vendedor privado o con licencia, tiene que demostrar que no es una persona que ha cometido crimenes, y que no sea elegible, la mayoria de los estadounidenses están de acuerdo de estas inspecciones, con más del 70% de los miembros del club de rifles. segundo, el congreso debe reestablecer la prohibición de la venta de armas de asalto de tipo militar, y los de alta capacidad para estas armas. el tipo de rifle de asalto usado en aurora, cuando se le coloca un cargador de alta capacidad, tiene el propósito de disparar tantas balas como sea posible, causando el máximo daño, y eso es lo que le permitió al atacante en aurora, atacar a 70 personas, mató 12, las armas diseñadas para el combate no tienen ninguna cabida en una sala de cine, la mayoria de los estadounidenses está de acuerdo de esto. >> >> también lo hacia reagan, instando a escuchar a los estadounidenses, con una prohibición de las armas de asalto de estilo militaro. >> y el congreso tiene que actuar en vez de obstruir el trabajo de las autoridades, debemos actuar energicamente con la gente que compra armas con el propósito de revenderlas a criminales, debemos castigar severamente a quienes le ayude a hacerlo, como el congreso no ha confirmado al director de la oficina de control de alcohol, tabaco, y armas de fuego en 6 años, deben hacerlo, tenemos a una persona nominada para esa posición. >> y en momentos en que los reportes presupuestarios obligan a comunidades a reducir los policias, debemos tener más, como la mayoria de los estadounidenses, la segunda enmienda garantiza tener armas, yo respeto esa tradición de larga data en el país, y el derecho de los deportistas de tener armas, hay millones de propietarios de armas en estados unidos que son responsables que comparten ese derecho de tener armas para proteccion, caceria, muchos estamos de acuerdo que podemos respetar la segunda enmienda, pero evitando que los irresponsables hagan daño a gran escala, los estadounidenses trabajan duro para evitar que caigan en malas manos, esto cuenta con la mayoria del pueblo estadounidenses, pero esto no significa que va a ser difícil de promulgar, sino ya tendriamos las verificaciones, la prohibición de armas de asalto no se hubiese expirado, más de nuestros ciudadanos estarian celebrando aniversarios, graduaciones, esto va a ser difícil, va a haber opinadores, politicos, cabilderos, advirtiendo de un asalto tiránico contra la libertad, no porque sea cierto, sino porque quieren generar temor, o ganar audiencia, o ganar prominencia, y tras bastidores harán todo lo posible para bloquear cualquier medida de sentido común para que nada cambie, la única forma que podemos cambiar, es que si el público, electores, miembros de estas organizaciones hacen algo diferente, hay que hacer algo para proteger a nuestras comunidades y niños, voy a poner todo lo que tengo en el proceso, pero la única forma que vamos a cambiar, es si los estadounidenses así lo exigen, y por cierto eso no significa gente de solo algunos lugares del país, vamos a necesitar voces en los distritos legislativos donde la tradición de la tenencia de armas es muy fuerte, para que se manifiesten, para que digan que es importante, no puede ser la misma gente de siempre, tenemos que examinarnos, y preguntarnos que es lo que es importante, esto no va a ocurrir a menos que el pueblo estadounidense lo exija, si los padres, maestros, policias, pastores, cientos de deportistas, propietarios de armas responsables, y estadounidenses de todos los sectores dicen ya basta, hemos sufrido demasiado dolor, y nos preocupan muchos nuestros niños, entonces el cambio se va a producir, eso es lo que se refiere, en la carta que me escribió julia, dice "sé que las leyes las tiene que aprobar el congreso, pero yo le ruego que haga todo lo que pueda". julia, voy a intentar hacer todo lo que pueda, pero ella tiene razón, los cambios más importantes dependen de la decisión del congreso, tiene que someter las propuestas a votación, el pueblo estadounidense tiene que hacerlo, preguntele a los legisladores que si apoyan las leyes para que no caigan en malas malanos, y si apoyan la prohibición de armas de alto calibre, ¿que es más importante? ¿hacer lo que sea necesario para conseguir que los cabilderos le den financiamiento para sus campañas, o darle tranquilidad a los padres para llevar a sus hijos al primer grado? esta es la tierra de la gente libre y siempre lo será, nuestro creador nos ha dado derechos inalienables que ningún hombre ni gobierno nos puede quitar, pero también tenemos responsabilidades, junto con la libertad para vivir la vida como nosotros queremos vivirla, tenemos que dejar que otros hagan lo propio, no vivimos aislados, vivimos en una sociedad, un gobierno de por y para el pueblo, tenemos una responsabilidad compartida. el derecho a la libertad de culto fue privado en wisconsin, el privado a la libertad de reunion se le privó a gente en aurora, colorado, en oregon, en los derechos fundamentales, a la vida, a labusqueda de la felicidad, derechos fundamentales que fueron arrebatados en virginia, columbine, newtown, a niños en las esquinas de chicago, a las familias que jamás imaginaron que iban a perder a un ser querido como resultado de una bala, esos son los derechos que están en juego, somos responsables, cuando visite newtown el mes pasado, me reuní en privado con algunos deudos y niños, con la familia de grace mcdonald, grace tenía 7 años cuando fue baleada, una niña hermosa, feliz, me dijeron que le gustaba el color rosa, la playa, que soñaba con ser pintora, y poco antes de despedirme, chris, su padre, me dio una de sus pinturas, y la tengo en mi estudio, al lado de la oficina oval, y cada vez que veo ese dibujo, pienso en grace, en la vida que ella vivió, en la vida que tenía por delante, y especialmente pienso en como a la hora de proteger a los más vulnerables, tenemos que actuar ahora, por grace, por los otros 25 niños y educadores que tenían tanto que dar, por los hombres y mujeres en ciudades y pueblos que son cada día víctimas de violencia, por todos los estadounidenses que cuentan con nosotros para que los mantengamos libres de peligro, hagamos lo que es correcto, lo correcto por ellos y por este país que tanto amamos, gracias, voy a firmar estas órdenes. >> termina la intervención del presidente barack obama sobre este tema de la legislación que se quiere implementar en el porte de armas, va a firmar las ordenes ejecutivas, lo podemos señalar de 2 formas, las ordenes ejecutivas que el presidente no necesita de las ordenes del congreso, un estudio por el efecto de los video juegos, pero las peticiones del congreso que tienen que ver con una revisión de la venta de armas, pero los más controvertidos son la prohibición de armas de asalto y cargadores de alta capacidad, es el tema de mayor discusion en el congreso de los estados unidos, y tendrá la poderosa oposición de la asociación del rifle, y también castigar la reventa de armas, esto es interesante por lo siguiente, muchas armas de la reventa llegan a los países latinamericanos que son vendidas a organizaciones criminales,

so that if you look at the outbreak of the war in 1991 and 1992 ,-com,-com ma one of the things that would strike you as the number of woman who said that they would resist being the good mother by encouraging their sons to become an increasingly chauvinistic agenda. so it doesn't mean that exactly, who felt complimented. who fell for the first time that they were a part of something bigger than the one just domestic creatures by being asked to be the supportive wife or the beautiful daughter. these things are quite profound for american women and that is why militarization can be difficult, even if women have no desire to take up a weapon or two be on the front lines and become militarized. the militarization happens to a lot of good people and happens if you take all the people in the world who are militarized, and the majority of the people who are militarized our civilians. we are militarized insofar values and certain beliefs about whether hierarchy is the best way to organize or whether it is about mending the protectors and women being the grateful protected. and militarizatio
