and he believed that courage is not the absence of fear, courage is overcoming the fear and as he saidme many times, i put up a front, i pretended to be brave. i mean think about that. think about siting across from mel son mandela, one of the greatest heroes and figures who's ever lived and he would talk about how frightened he was. that to me is an extraordinary lesson, a lesson for everybody in the sense that we all have fears. it's not a hero isn't someone who doesn't feel fear, a hero is someone who triumphs over it, who learns to deal with it and appear brave. that's part of why appearances matter to him. he had to show people day in and day out when he was in prison. he walked upright. the prisoners would say just looking at nelson mandela would make me feel better. but i know there were days when he did not want to walk upright like that, where he felt terrible. he had family problems and terrible things going on, but he knew he had to put up a front. >> the reason i brought it up is he understood leadership almost instinctively because he said once i think-- correct me if i'm

and we can have both if we have the courage to face up to what has to be done. a secure retirement is built on four pillars. a solvent social security system as dave said, individual retirement savings and employer pensions, the ability for people to continue to work and to earn. and adequate and affordable healthcare coverage and long-term care. now, while we still have a long way to go, the recently passed healthcare reform legislation is an important step toward that fourth pillar. healthcare access and affordibility. congratulations to speaker hoyer on that -- leader hoyer, excuse me.

it's about courage.gest message i've gotten out of your book is the fact that courage is not fearlessness. >> yes. >> courage is facing down your fears and to some extent faking it. not letting the other side see you sweat. i love that stuff. i think it's what life is like. make phone calls certain days you don't want to make. decisions you have to make. people you have to deal with. every day you have to face them down. you can't -- you can't let the fear get over you. >> absolutely. >> it will take you down. >> absolutely. the thing as you saw in the book, chris, when we were talking during the writing of "long walk to freedom" and i did many, many hours of interviews he would often say to me, i was terrified or i was afraid of this and i kept thinking to myself, i have nelson mandela, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century telling me he was frightened. i would ask him about that. he would say, richard, it would be irrational not to have been frightened. he said, you have to put up a front. you

is it just because they realize now that it is in her own interests and had not zero courage to them before or are there other extenuating circumstances which may resend step up their activity and to comment on iran's role in the commentary of terrorists? barren bruce asked me exactly that question. [laughter] and i want to get too speculative but i do think that an important part of what we are seeing is due to their growth of trust. our sense for example, was at the end of the strategic dialogue we had a very good exchange to take in this relationship to a higher level. the issue of the pakistani relationship and as been deeply troubled. there have the kids to we did not the their interest at heart trying to accomplish our own schools and ivy the check for a very serious engagement, the court the she equipment and the efforts to do with it tonight concerns but we are making headway. i am not predicting progress will always be linear but i am hopeful that we will have the strategic patients and wisdom to stay engaged and see this through. a lot of people are investing all lot in thi

somehow kardashian found the courage to pose naked again in the current harper's bazaar. this is exactly what's wrong with national television. too much information. i mean we don't need to know the inner workings of the kardashian family and that mom would promote this. >> the next reality show will be their therapy sessions. >> actually you probably gave them, sadly, a good idea for ratings. this comes to us from wkyc cleveland, ohio, where in nearby rocky river one bride is missing a crucial part of her formula. she has always the preparations to throw a lavish ceremony, everything except her groom. her fiance, an army sergeant, is stuck in germany thanks to restrictions following by iceland's volcanic eruption. the wedding is this weekend and the groom has a flight scheduled to go out today so everyone of course has their fingers crossed for the couple. >> so many people have been missing weddings and all sorts of conditions. >> it must be painful to sit in an airport. but you miss your wedding, whole other story. i'm lynn berry, and this is "early today," just your f

the work of our mexican counterparts has been courageous.e literally put their lives on the line. one looks at the number of law enforcement officers, soldiers, civilians who have lost their lives in connection with this battle. alarming. i spent over two hours in phoenix when i was there for u.s. attorney conference, speaking with my mexican counterparts, mexican attorney general about the progress we are making and i think progress has been made in mexico. it would be my hope that they will continue this effort. they need the help of the united states. the merida initiative is certainly one of the ways in which we can do that. i think we also need to focus on what they call the iron river and the flow of illegal weapons that go from the united states to mexico that i have been trained on. soldiers, innocent mexican citizens. we have used their dea, our fbi to find help in that regard. i think the battle is very much in the balance and without continued american attention and continued american support i think we decrease the chances of the

it took courage to handle fears that inevitably come with life, particularly in old age. the new social and economic rights tended to undercut such virtues, too subtly encourage men and women to depend on government to take care of them. then to celebrate that dependency as true freedom. in fact, the appetite for these stream of benefits -- that is what these new rights really are -- the appetite soon prove more addictive than liberating. for them suffered too, and so far as entitlements proved anew, beguiling attraction to the new social contract. the new social contract, the new deal, called for the people to consent to government's power in exchange for the government providing them with rights. this is the original formula for big government. we give it power, it gives us rights. the more power that we give it, the more rights grouwe received. what is not to like? imply there's nothing to fear from making government bigger because political tyranny, at least among advanced nations, is a thing of the past. in truth, these new social and economic rights were group right
