and -- darrow cup. and this makes ralph seize because he has pretty much ripped apart the idea that darrow is the inventer. so ralph decides he is going to set up a truth about monopoly lecture next to the atlantic city monopoly tournament. and the problem is that parker brothers catches wind of this and they reschedule these events, and nobody goes to the lecture. but you wouldn't know that by looking at this photo of ralph in atlantic city. he's very happy to be there. but he had also heard from a couple of college kids at cornell who had been kicked out of a monopoly tournament and they were very upset and they made a game about how to win at monopoly that parker brothers had attack them over, and so there's another tournament taking place in d.c. shortly thereafter. so ralph decides to join forces with these college kids and they go about slipping truth about monopoly pamphlets under the dinner plates of jury roomists -- journalists and they feel pretty victorious about this. that college kid was ja

todd teaches darrow's the game and afterwards darrow asks can you type of the rules for me, somebody coming to the house, play checkers or chess or a game that was around, charles todd, secretary, types of the rules and gives 2 darrow. let's cut to parker brothers and the 30s, parker brothers was a firm that was in crisis. lot of companies at the time nobody was buying and anything. the balance sheet was a disaster. there's george parker, he founded as a teenager in the 1880s and it was not looking good. his son-in-law robert barton, second from the left was taking over at parker brothers and was a lawyer by training. he had little gain experience. he needs a solution and need it fast. he starts telling the monopoly game in philadelphia, a picture on the far left. if you were a fan of manhattan the movie that is where that was shot. darrow -- burton sees this, points it out to him, this monopoly game out there and they strike a deal in the platter building where the parker show room was at the time a lot older here and carol -- they make a deal to buy the game. monopoly becomes calm

mcghee and darrow die in this is darrow's obituary in "the new york times." lizzie mcghee's is. and there's no mention of monopoly here at her grave and she didn't have any children. she died in 1948. how do we know this? is whole history was an accident and it came out totally accidentally because of this guy. this is ralph anspach. this is a picture of him in berkeley in the 70s. he was an economist teaching at san francisco state at the time. he makes a game called anti-monopoly. it's not long before he hears from the backup. he's upset about the opec oil cartel's. he feels like monopoly's roots are negative and wants to make a more philosophically pleasing version of it. they dropped the game. it's monopoly backwards, anti-monopoly. it's a very 70s ralph nader and the nader's raiders that kind of public service lawyers are the heroes of the game. parker brothers attorneys say you can't make anti-monopoly. that kicks off this ten-year long legal battle between ralph anspach and his family and parker brothers. they rip apart all these different aspects of trademark patent and

clarence darrow had this remarkable life.hat is most interesting about doing this play which was originated by henry fonda who did it in 1974, is that every single issue that clarence darrow was fighting for or against in the late 1800s and early 1900s, we are still grappling with today. every single issue. we are still trying to get it right. he is such a remarkable figure. i've had the chance to play him on two other occasions. i did a film on about -- about his life 20 years ago and one at the old vic about five years ago. there are two things that never done. i've never done a one-man show and i've never done a show in the round. we have reconfigured the old vic for this season to be a theater in the round. that means there is nowhere to hide. they are everywhere, and they are very close. i have a stage that is not much bigger than this platform we are sitting on. it is just a remarkable experience to be that intimate with an audience. and in britain, particularly, although i hope to bring it to the united states, they do

and now that i'm at the end of my time alt the old vic athafter this round of clarence darrow, i know's the best decision i could have made. i know the experiences i've had at the old vic in this 11 years i have been artistic director but i've also acted in a play or two plays every year for the last 11 years, that all of those experiences and working with the directors and playing the parts made me a better actor. i wouldn't have been ready for frank underwood. >> rose: and gave you a better life, probably. >> absolutely. it's been remarkable in terms of the timing of it, but also where i am as a person, what i learned about running a company what i learned about having an incredibly brilliant and large staff, what i learned about fundraising, because we get no public subsidy at the old vic. >> rose: were you ready in your life for this? had you come to a conclusion that yes it was risk, abandoning a film, i'm an oscar winner, all that stuff. >> i just tried to follow my heart. i didn't worry about what if this or that. i didn't have a whole lot of debates about whether i would go to

it is a version of this game that parker finally acquires from darrow. people are playing it with children they want it to be easier. >> it was based on atlantic city? >> correct. the group who really play it are the quakers. and we're 30 years past lizy's original patent by then. >> you uncovered this information, parker brothers didn't comment on it right? >> no. hasbro acquired parker brothers. we have a lot of deposition escort documents we could talk about. >> mary it is great to have you on the program. thanks for revealing all of this. that's our program i'm john siegenthaler, the news continues next. you. >> the battle for tikrit is on. as iraqi forces push into the i.s.i.l. stronghold. >> we started to retake the neighborhood on the outskirts of tikrit city. >> but the obama administration is concerned allied shia and sunni soldiers could turn on each other after defeating i.s.i.l. >>> and you stack. four years after the start of the war critics say the white house strategy is not working. >> there was a rise of what we call insurgent parties in

the board comedy darrow board and, the darrow board and the auction that recently. we know what they look like because ralph gathered them and the know about them but now they're in private hands. in the first stage of researching this book i could go to the board gallery and walk around and compare things and get a visual sense but even now that is harder to do which is unfortunate. >> they have a ton of great stuff. the jetblue flight trying to go. anything else? no? okay, thank you so much. [applause] >> like it says up here, misread on sale now, "the monopolists: obsession, fury, and the scandal behind the world's favorite board game". mary will sign a copy for you thank you.

. >> reporter: greta darrow says fewer students are going into the field because child psychiatry not only requires more years of schooling, but considered less prestigious compared to other specialties. compounding the shortage many if not most child psychiatrists don't take health insurance. so families need to pay out-of-pocket and that can cost hundreds. that price ms. families right out of getting the care they need. >> it's critical to get mental health care when it's needed. the reason is now we're seeing through research the earlier someone is diagnosed and treated, the lesser the long-term severity of their condition. >> we knew we needed to get help. >> reporter: christie gallagher eventually got her daughter meg the help she needed. 000 know the whole family is in therapy and they pay out of pocket for every sgloimt all of our providers don't take insurance. you have to be able to put that cost up front. her psychiatrist is around $200 an hour. there are families i know that are suffering because they can't do that. >> reporter: the lack of access to psychiatric help inspir

it's easy to bring a clarence darrow or a william jennings bryan. but george washington, we have this view of washington, for many people he's like a wax figure in madam trudeau's museum. or a carved figure up on mount rushmore, he is distant to a lot of us. i think a lot of it is that terrible picture painted on the $1 bill, that was paint near death with a bulging, he looks like a squirrel with his oversized false teeth. actually, that's not what washington was like, and i got to see that in this period of his life when he was much younger before the presidency and after he was a general when he was not in political power when he didn't have -- or military power. he didn't have an office. he was a farmer. he was a plantation owner. he was a private citizen. and i could find out that he was a very, very affable person. he was a wonderful conversationalist. he was a great retail politician. he could tell stories at parties. he loved to go to parties, he loved to dance. he would go to a party -- of course, he was the choice, he was -- when he was you

dennis riley along with his wife sue thompson and their friend claudia darrow are sightseeing along thesachusetts. >> we decided to take kayaks up the estuary as the tide was going up -- coming in, get there at high tide, and just kind of leisurely go back out with the tide. >> claudia puts down her paddle and starts taking pictures. but as she looks through her lens, she doesn't realize her kayak is slowly drifting toward a drainage tunnel called a culvert. >> just, you know, a baby's bath. and then all of a sudden i was slammed up against the bridge and being sucked down underneath into the culvert. >> so we made a bee line for her as fast as we could. but it was immediately obvious that we were in a very bad situation. our kayak started to tip and i'm all of a sudden out of the kayak in the water. >> bystanders witness the accident and call 911. as dennis tries to hold onto both claudia and suelina. but the powerful current sweeps his wife into the culvert. a local resident captures the terrifying ordeal on camera. claudia is already pulled out of the tunnel, but dennis is still insi

it harkens back to the clarence darrow days. >> you took the words out of my mouth, except he actuallylty plea. in this case they did not enter a guilty plea. she's allowing this jury to have the satisfaction if you will of finding him guilty not once not twice, but writing the word guilty on the verdict form 30 times so that when it comes time to ask the jury to spare his life, she has some credibility left with them and she just might succeed. >> a lot of people have compared this to the d.c. sniper trial where it was the younger man who was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison. do you think this strategy works and as a prosecutor how do you counter it? >> i think the strategy will not work here. i think the government has a much stronger case. there's a lot more evidence that dzhokhar was acting very much on his own. there's video tape of him planning the bomb. there's video tape of his innocently running away. there's video tape of him running toward the police car where that actually was eventually killed. there's so much evidence that he wasn't just a forlorn

some people believe that darrow was the inspiration for some of the early mr. monopoly characters. the only problem is that story isn't exactly true. the actual game originated with a woman, this woman, elizabeth magie. who was she? she had a patent for a typewriter gadget. she was an outspoken feminist. she had a lot of views on this and her father was this gentleman named james magie who wasn't just an influential newspaper owner but had traveled with abraham lincoln during the lincoln/douglass debates and was around for the founding of the republican party and was very impactful in that. lizzie magie had appeared on stage, she wrote short stories, she wrote a book of poetry which you can see the plate for that, and she was very impacted by this man henry george. so in this room i'm sure a lot of people know about henry george, but a lot of people today don't. and the very very short version -- i am not a henry george scholar -- is that he was a proopponent of single-tax theory, and he had this idea if you taxed land and only land the working class would have a better shot at equ
