>> it is the coulter of not wanting to say unkind things. oer's or fitness reports -- so many of them say that the officer is outstanding. i think that is in so many of them. there are magic words that convinced the promotion board that this person really is outstanding. for instance, this is the top officer i have. that is out of 50 officers at work for me. phraseology and words like that -- this really is a very outstanding young officer, consequently, he will be promoted. it is ordinary pac-on-the-back complement. -- compliments. >> is it because we have a shortage in the medical field? >> i have raised the same question and received no answer, as to whether an academic report was not fully reflected and whether the oer is not fully reflected the. that is the very question i asked. i probably ask that question -- i will ask that question of those testifying on wednesday. >> do you expect -- are you getting a sense of any big changes coming up that you have been informed of? >> i think it will be too good things. in the short run, how do w

and my sister, the anthropologist, likes to put that to humans, coulter is like water is to fish. because it surrounds us, it's often quite invisible. even though we are in it. and the ideology that supports our car culture is something that is largely invisible to us and that we started to explore fairly early in our research. the images that bombard us daily from the media are quite different than those family snapshots. not quite so comforting but much more exciting, much more glamorous, this poster from 2008 iron man, starring robert downey junior, provided just the kind of cards but excitement we come to expect, from much of the entertainers that we indulge that is car centric. and american car ideology likes the messages that come to us in many hollywood films, is supported a series of core american values. individualism, freedom, two of the key, but also family, very american dreams. the automatic us have tapped into these core american values in their advertising. and a year in and year out, we are exposed to tens of billions of messages from them. just any advertising, le

she's a real figure in 20 senter coulter. every -- so me people are reading or. you can read people's notes and diaries and excavate a lot of that. it was the selfishness, although that really stood as a barrier. you have to make up your mind were you going to buy this part of her? if you're going to buy this part of her you are not going to be on the left anymore. >> go ahead to expect i understand that most of rants papers are in the ayn rand institute archives. can both of the authors talk, say something about their dealings with the ayn rand institute archives? >> let me begin because i was denied access to the ayn rand papers, which are separate from the archives, as i understand it. and i'm told now after my book was published that i could have had access to the ayn rand archives if i've asked in a different manner or been there at just the right moment that i'm not sure. it doesn't make sense to me. >> so i was granted ask -- access that i was granted access that i would be writing what was called a special study. they told me at the time that somebody els
