let's get the latest on this from our financial correspondent conrad boozman in frankfurt conrad how much how much contagion is there. the deals causing all this don't seem to be very transparent do that. that's absolutely right chris this is highly specialized trading business the financial instruments used here are very difficult to understand as well as their systemic risk you know the risk that those financial instruments cause harm on parts of the financial markets where you wouldn't expect at 1st sight what's also in transparent is how much leverage is in use how much borrowed money the more highly leveraged such deals are the more risky and last but not least there is a certain amount of contagion risk because of the huge slumps of the stock prices involved viacom c.b.s. for example the shares lost 27 percent on friday just to lose another 6.7 percent yesterday with such strong losses of share prices of course it is no surprise that traders are getting nervous about other stocks as well. japan's new more our greatest fear is heavily exposed to this whole mess what are you hear

first of all, section 706, i always think of that as senator conrad burns provision. senator conrad burns was one of the most conservative members of the senate and i'm sure he would have been absolutely shocked, absolutely shocked if his provision, which is entirely about the regulation, about opening up markets, that there was not enough rock band deployment. if he knew that was going to be used to try to impose regulation , that would be completely mangling section 706. the preamble -- i was kind of the skunk at the picnic during some of those staff conference meetings. at the very end i think they threw me this phone, -- through mia bone, come up with a few words for the preamble. i think it's probably the only part of the act i can claim. it was supposed to be completely worthless, because you are right , it's just a preamble preview it's nothing. and yet people have interpreted it in ways that it is supposed to be deregulatory. somehow it is gotten mangled to mean something entirely different. some of the other provisions you mentioned have gotten interpreted in

there was a biography by earl conrad which here 60 years before mine, and i was determined also as you point out to talk about her civil war career if you do get to auburn and you learn about the community there the impact was that the entire community many of the state legislators were trying to get her recognition for her civil war service and she indeed eventually gained a pension in the last few years of the century, but one that she was very proud of serving under the flag and i think her role serving under the flag is something we really want to emphasize. we really want to think about she was a soldier she was a patriot and how and in what way we're today recovering that legacy of hers is something very exciting to me that we're in the middle of a harriet renaissance that i think began a few years ago, and i hope we can talk about the way in which her death the very same month that rosa parks was born and this in to seeing black women at the forefront of freedom movements and maybe on that. i'll toss it back to you for a while to talk about her role in fem. because i know that's
