>> no. >> lewis marks never met j edgar hoover and he was a right-wing republican that admired j edgar hoover but he did what he did for everybody he knew slightly. he would send j edgar hoover boxes and boxes of mark's toys to give out his presence at christmas. when i was in vietnam and engaged to his daughter, i got boxes that i can give out to embassy people and vietnamese and whatnot. he must've sent thousands of boxes two friends and associates. he was sent j edgar hoover boxes of toys to give out as an admirer and they knew people in common. because of the right-wing circles my father-in-law moved in. i think he was on a list of friends of the fbi. actually i think his name was brennan, the officer in charge of the investigation, when he listed people that should be interviewed, with respect to me, they listed my father-in-law and stepmother in law everybody. and they had a box next to each one approved or not approved. apparently the records seem to show that hoover disapproved the interview of marks on the grounds it was a friend of the fbi. they apparently misread this and as

jay edgar hoover sat in a habitat even said it was an airtight case.n days of his having read back everything was thrown into reverse. the case was six and the justice department laughlin currie the sky in the white house and a guy named tommy court or in who was in the wheeler dealer rate the case to get john nervous often they did. they got them off and he then spent five more years in the state department giving out there council i'm sure he's given before and anything that got a nod there was joe mccarthy. he came along and blew the lid off of this. this plot to fix their case to rate the grand jury involved the laundry list of federal fine all of it was wiretapped by the fbi. for some totally different set of reason. working with curry to fix the case and knowledge is other people and they wiretapped the whole thing. i have the transcripts of the wiretaps in the book. a chapter called red lies and audio chat. it is just amazing. robert ludlum could do it best. this is all real. and it's not documented in the episode i'm talking about by the fbi. i

someone who worked extensively on the case said, he wrote the letter that was sent under j edgar hoover's signature asking that apple not be put to death. interestingly, the reason that hoover gave in the letter, was that ethel was the mother of small children. >> i am from the university of maryland. i would like to underscore the point that harvey made at the outset, the neglect of the anti-semitic purges in the soviet union which has occupied a far smaller place and the american political discussion over the last 40 years than the rosenberg case did. i have two questions. at the time, and since there have been people who said that the nuclear secrets that the rosenbergs gave to the soviets were elementary drawings of no great significance. is that the case? and the second question, concerns the response to the rosenberg files. as an historian, it seems to me that the response to your work is one of the less impressive moments in the history of the american historical profession. namely, i think there was a lot of denial of fact and evidence what it was supposed to be about. >> thank yo

by this general intelligence division palmer created, led by this zealous young investigator j edgar hoover. his endless career is just getting started. so, when we look at the labor unrest of 1919, we have to remember -- where were the workers coming from? we know because we talked about this. the workers were african-americans at this time seeking to make real the promises woodrow wilson headset for word in bringing the united states into war. from the workers' perspective this meant more democracy in the workplace. in the context of 1919, the overriding fears have just become too much. too many other americans, race riots in the city, violent strikes, feminism, the fear of bolshevism, these all seem to indicate we have entered frightening times after world war i. these all seem to indicate what the irish poet yeats would write after world war i -- things fall apart. the center cannot hold. that what ever it is that holds this world together, it seemed to be disintegrating. a time when young people are saying the following. f. scott fitzgerald in his novel "the side of paradise," he write

edgar hoover. the list has captured hundreds of fugitives over the years. more on the story. >> reporter: murderers money launderers, drug traffickers make up this infamous list and there's a bounty on their heads. the first most wanted poster circulated back in 1950. j. edgar hoover got the idea for a notorious list from a reporter writing a story on america's toughest guys on the run. in 65 years agents have nabbed 473 fugitives on that list, many with the help of ordinary citizens who took note. >> we look for criminals that are out there who have exhibit egregious horrific behavior committed heinous crimes and in addition those that we believe this national and international publicity will assist in helping us to apprehend them. >> reporter: a recent addition to the most wanted list is this man, yasser saeid, the subject of a one-hour documentary by fox news. he's wanted for the execution of his own daughters because they dared to date nonmuslim men. 911 operators listened as sarah named her killer with her dying words. >> 911, what is your emergency. >

edgar hoover. his endless career is just getting started. ok. so, when we look at the labor unrest of 1919, we have to remember -- where were the workers coming from? we know because we talked about this. the workers were african-americans at this time seeking to make real the promises woodrow wilson had set forward in bringing the united states into war. going to make the world safe for democracy. from the workers' perspective this meant more democracy in the workplace. in the context of 1919, the overriding fears have just become too much. too many other americans, race riots in the city, violent strikes, feminism, the fear of bolshevism, these all seem to indicate we have entered frightening times after world war i. these all seem to indicate what the irish poet yeats would write after world war i -- things fall apart. the center cannot hold. that what ever it is that holds this world together, it seemed to be disintegrating. a time when young people are saying the following. for example, f. scott fitzgerald in his novel "the side of paradise

edgar hoover fbi building. in one of the letters he said the fbi is a joke.l not be catching us any time soon. >> the fbi, of course, had no idea about the unabomber's identity or whereabouts. and ted kaczynski took great pains to make sure he didn't leave a single clue. >> he would take files and he would file everything down after he built something so that he could ensure that he was getting rid of fingerprints. he was obsessed about leaving fingerprint evidence. >> kaczynski also planted false clues to throw investigators off the trail. >> he went to a bathroom at the bus station in missoula, montana, and he actually took hairs off the floor of the restroom. and then in subsequent bombs, he would take those hairs and put them in between layers of tape. and the whole idea was when the subsequent bombs exploded at a crime scene, we would think that hair might have something to do with the unabomber. when he was out on a run to collect information or to collect components for his bombs, he would make sure he had a disguise. he put cotton up his nose so his n

the president wanted this is that tom huston was such an offensive personality to people like j edgar hoover is not john mitchell that it had gone nowhere. you're not of that ilk. i said i see problems with the plan and i can also see there is a real problem here. it seems to me that when i read through all of this and the backup memos, it problem that the agencies are not talking. the cia does not talk to the fbi and they don't each know what they have. if you could just get that --. he said you should talk to mitchell about this who was familiar with the plan and he said it is on call for. he agreed with me that if you could have some interagency committee where they could share information and develop some kind of digest backing up and saying the premise of the plan was that the president was convinced that communists were influencing the antiwar movement. he had been told this by lyndon johnson during the transition. i think he left office convinced of the same. whenever found a scintilla of evidence that this was the case from either the fbi, the cia or anybody else that it was run by h

edgar hoover saw what was developing into a quangruence of goals and objectives if not tactics towards the end of his life. martin luther king was much more speaking about international issues about the war, abrought. not just about voting rights for african-americans. malcolm x had already tried to organize a linkage between african-americans in america and africans in africa and so they were both moving towards an international perspective, the diaspora, if you will the kind of concerns. >> yet today, we are talking once again 50 years later, about the disenfranchise of african-americans and the fact that so many can't vote something you have been reporting on. >> yeah, del. millions of african-americans, one in 13, can't vote because of felon convictions, across america, and i had met some people in alabama who are trying to do something about that. >> this is the real office looking forwards to al busy weekend clients in town to the an anniversary radio. a half century ago, protesters were trying to put an end to racial discrimination in voting a struggle that in recent yield inspi

i do not think j edgar hoover made a distinction between socialism and communism. king was someone who was in favor of the kinds of changes that we are still probably, 100 years from. it was basically a science-fiction writer. america and the 2000s. he was not a very accurate science-fiction writer. mr. matthews: we lost mr. spock this week. dean i want to ask you about something because i do not think you are right, we have to have a national conversation about race . in my experience when you bring it up, the room goes gold. -- cold. because what it is about indy today terms is bigotry. it is -- and day today terms is bigotry. and people do not like talking about it because it is embarrassing to everybody. you cannot have a conversation about race, i tried it on tv. let's talk about the intellectual aspect. people pull back. dean: i am sure it makes that television. i have been in conversations about race with a diverse group of people that have been carefully moderated and very transformative. they are hard conversations but i do not know how -- and maybe the na

edgar hoover. >> he was, 26 years. >> unbelievable.lace to start about truth-telling. the importance of truth-telling. >> yes. absolutely. i have to say, it's so important when someone can actually benefit from the truth, providing it's truth-telling that is something that someone can do something about. in other words, i don't believe in talking to people about things they can't change. but when it's something you can change and wrap your brain around it and harness your resources to do something about it then i believe that it should be talked about. >> tell you what not joking when i say this about mika. one of the things i've learned from mika over the years, she's very direct and blunt with people who work with us and i'm always a politician trying to say, hey, it's okay. mika has taught me it's much better tim, to be up front. tell them what the problem is and then they can learn from it and get better. >> i absolutely agree. particularly true on "project runway." we have no time. i can't sit back think, maybe i'll talk to the de
