hello, i'm karen dewitt in for bonnie erbe. welcome to "to the contrary," a discussion of news and social trends from diverse perspectives. up first, wal-mart's legal victory: after their supreme court loss this week, american women who want to sue wal-mart for gender discrimination, on behalf of 1.5 million co-workers, say they'll continue their fight. this time with smaller lawsuits in lower courts and claims with the u.s. equal employment opportunity commission. in a 5-4 ruling, the court ruled against allowing the largest class action lawsuit to move forward. the justices did not decide whether wal-mart had discriminated against the women, only that the women could not sue as a class. the three female justices, along with justice stephen breyer dissented in part to the court's decision. justice ruth bader ginsburg said there was evidence "gender bias suffused wal-mart's corporate culture." women comprise 70% of the hourly workers at wal-mart but only one-third of management positions. >> those statistics are shocking. and t

sign it no no and i'll yell it at the president, i'll yell it at roosevelt, i'll yell it at general dewitt and it matters. it has to matter. and to me it's the speech i gave him was in part all just drawn from what's happening i think in the country right now in relationship to the war, who is considered patriotic, who is considered a traitor, and the point of a play to me is that it isn't just a museum piece, that in fact it does have relevancy right now and that it does kind of spark a certain amount of controversy in relationship to what goes on now. so that's how things that are happening in one's life feed into it. other things feed into it, too, like my wife and i have been trying to build this house in the berkeley hills for about 5 years so all of that also kind of feeds into the play even though it may not surface in the way the characters are building a house, but it may be something about money that comes up in the play but actually was drawn from our financial struggles trying to build this house in the berkley hills. but it also sort of shows you how real life intrudes into yo

dewitt fell over a rope tight between poles and the end zone. so the game gets under way into harvard scores a touchdown. under the rules of the day they don't get any points. they make their attempt and a mess. no points at all. at halftime it is a scoreless tie. zero to zero. they drive into harvard territory. a freshman named walter camp em football was a player that they tried to shuffle the ball backward and make a tester teammate, a lousy pass, the ball bounced, it took one of those funny copps football can take and confuse the most veteran player. one of these funny hops and oliver thompson in the backfield another yale player decides to take a chance to read kicks from 35 yards out and add an improbable anchor the ball sailed over the rope between. it's one to nothing, yale and that is how the game ended. over harvard in 1876. the loss frustrated roosevelt. in a letter to his mother the next day he didn't say whether he enjoyed himself, the future president knowingly a football future popularity with couldn't anticipate their role he wou

. >> guest: dewitt resist a general peace agreement its hard to say if there is a new syrian government to find a peace treaty with israel and therefore either internally or explicitly gave the government the option of signing the peace treaty with israel hezbollah would probably do anything it could to make that he's not a viable, but it would also have serious difficulties convincing other lebanese people that it should be supported in this because like we mentioned earlier, one reason that hezbollah has some support in the country is because some lebanese people believe the leading the chiefs the israelis from invading is the deterrence that has the law creates, but if israel assigns with the government, then it's going to be more difficult to convince the lebanese people that it's necessary to keep them out but the israelis are proving fit the have no design. hezbollah will do whatever it can to prevent this from ever happening because it will seriously hurt the organization and they know at. >> host: how monolithic is it as an organization today? >> guest: there are like any organi

blake dewitt. >>> all this week cnn has been shining a spotlight on modern day slavery.e woman has fought to save sex trafficking victims for nearly two decades helping rescue and rehabilitate more than 12,000 women and girls. that earned her the title of 2010 cnn hero of the year. >> i wan the u.s., if someone s i want to -- families, they are tricked all the time. girls are brought from the villages by people who can lure them and tell them that they're getting a nice job. the border between india and nepal is the conduit point of trafficking. once they are here there so no way to escape. i am anuradha. it's my strong hope to stop every girl from trafficking. >> when we go to the border, at this point we are intercepting four girls to five girls per day. after the rescues, the girls are. we take everyone. the girls who come back, they are totally psychologically broken. we give them whatever work they want to do. whatever trains they want to do. one day we will really stop it. the trafficking will end. they are my strength. >> actress demi moore recently went to nepal

candidates to run and if you want to run outside of the democratic party, i think if the context is right, dewitt triet in 1988i was told not to run because i got a lot more votes than the democrats. so you've got to be judicious about it and also whether you choose to run within the democratic party or outside the democratic party this i do believe. i think that the republican agenda, tax breaks for billionaires' and savage cuts on the need of the middle class and working families. these guys really do want to take us back to the 1920's where if you're old and poor your on your own, no health care for you. if you were a kid, didn't matter these are serious people. they are not fooling around. they want to take us back to the 1920's to the of the article society where power rested and they had very, very wealthy people. i think that their views, that ideology is way, way out of touch with what the american people believe. one of the problems we have is a pretty poor job which is also corporately owned to a large degree not to mention a television station so you've got that problem, but i think wh

characterize my work and my answer indicated i had worked in the office of civilian radioactive waste at dewitt was well-known and was on my resume. i indicated i did not work on the yucca mountain license application. i worked on ways to inventories and transportation of materials in that program. i drew the distinction in my testimony. i do not agree the document you are referring to is accurate about stating that report that worked on were underlying the debt yucca mountain licensing application. i do not agree that is accurate. >> that is there. i would just like to say what i sum up and said, so you did not work directly on yucca, i did not mean you were in the mountain taking tests on it. i meant were you working on the whole subject and you were. i would just say to you that this is troubling to me and i would leave it at that. i believe the focus should be on ensuring the safe operation of the 104 nuclear reactors and communities across our nation, not on old or already resolved issues but to ensure everyone is clear the laws were broken, i'm going to ask you, chairman, to questions abo
