who was john edwards? >> john edwards was bacon's last great muse. he met him in '73 or '74 right after george dyer's death. he was an east ender like george. he was ill illiterate, hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine that people could not read or write that was john edwards. i think bacon was especially attracted to that, because he thought he was untouched -- he was uncorrupted by civilization. and says that edwards was just a lovely man, very kind and gentle. a very patient and caring about bacon. a great companion for him in his old age. i think one sees in this painting in which tellingly bacon puts edwards in the pose that george dyer had right here on my right. he has edwards supplant george dyer in his art. but there's no defamation to the figure or to his face. this is the period when he is looking and trying to come up with that kind of resolution, skill, harmony and balance in his painting that he observed. >> charlie: the last one that we take a look at is triptic 1991. late work that sort coming back to earlier subjects. >> you know, t

i am proud to be here today with edward humes. welcome. >> guest: thank you. >> host: to start out why did you write this book? >> guest: i share this with a lot of people i know that the news about our environment and the various crises we face with global warming to dollying nation's and fossil fuel dependence has become overwhelming and even paralyzing if you saw an inconvenient truth i sort of walked down with my head slumped wondering what's going to happen to my kids. that evolved into an idea to tell the story of a member of individuals i am calling "eco barons." you may not have heard of them but their work is very important in the area of climate and grain transportation and in other environmental causes. they are having a great environmental impact and setting a great example for those of us who may worry about the idea there's nothing we can do at this point. there's people rolling up their sleeves and doing something substantial. >> host: the book has three types of eco barons. there's dreamers, schemers, and millionai

"after 54 years together, our parents died peacefully and under circumstances of their own choosing," their children said. when sir edward conducted here at london's royal albert hall, his wife, joan, was in the audience for every performance and every rehearsal. colleagues and friends say they were completely devoted to each other. >>

everybody in the industry should follow in the example of edward jones.n this show i've been focused on making regular investors like you aware of the dangers inherent in these products. from now on i'm going to encourage every brokerage house to adopt the edwards jones position and protect clients from these. selling these pumped-up steroid-infused etfs to investors who intend -- people don't intend to hold them for longer than a day. if you do, you don't do well. this is like a pharmacist selling medicine that makes you sicker. luckily, we have the fda to regulate medicine. if we didn't, you'd probably stop shopping at the bad pharmacy and take your business to one that refused to sell harmful products. maybe investors should do the same. take their investments to firms with a sense of responsibility that don't sell leveraged etfs that are designed to blow up in your face if you don't understand the true purpose. most people don't. shame on the s.e.c. bravo to edwards jones. i hope other financial services firms follow in its footsteps. if they don't, a

i think i can hold unjohn edwards and eliot spitzer. think the american people are sick of it, whether the democratic side or the republican side, frankly. i don't think anybody's out there condoning the behavior. i think the way that governor sanford handled it today was right. i don't think people want to hear a lot about it. i think it's an issue between him and his wife and his family and his god and, you know, the people that voted for him and elected him want him to take care of the issues that matter to the people of south carolina. >> larry: when you go around promoting family values is it a question of hypocrisy, jim. >> it's always a question of -- sorry, that was for jim. >> sure it is. but i agree, i don't think you ought to resign. i think larry craig should resign, i didn't think ensign should resign. but when you go around you have -- and they always moralizing about family values and this stuff. what they ought to do is try the best they can to govern and shut up about this other stuff. let churches and schools deal with

congresswoman edwards, how do you react to this? ms. edwards: i thank the gentleman. i was listening to my colleague, mr. hall, and mr. johnson. i want to say particularly something about the critics' charge about we don't want government running health care and government is going to choose your doctor. i grew up in the united states air force. my father was in the military. when we were young children and had to go get health care coverage, we called, made an appointment, you know, got the tonsils checked, got whatever medication was needed, and went home. we saw a primary care physician. the government provided system. my father on his retirement was in the v.a. system, got excellent coverage through the v.a. system. my brother retired from the united states air force. excellent service and care through the v.a. system. those are government provided systems, medicare. medicare is one of the most efficient, efficient health care systems that we have. so what are we talking about here? the critics can say what they want, but they know that when it's medicare or veter

our last call for edward montgomery is from illinois. this is tom watching us. he is on the republican line. caller: good morning. thank you for letting me talk on c-span. i think toyota and kia and saturn -- a lot of the smaller car companies that moved down south and do not have union workers. the problem with unions are -- this has happened always in the past. the end up getting too much power in the company. they strangle companies. this is what is going on with the car company right now. if they would have had stock options to own more of the company instead of having negotiated wages. negotiated wages. it is all the other thing i would like to add, too, is your job. you know, you answered it a little bit ago that you work for the president. so is a politically appointed job. i am a board member in hancock county, where a live here, and when the three economic developments people. and we are in a depressed area. and it to tell the truth, i cannot figure out what you people do other than collect money. i do not mean that in a derogatory sense. i mean it in t

[laughter] remember rose. >> if your name were edward kennedy, edward moore, this, your candidacy would be a joke. >> and, he was right. >> i think what is interesting, bella mentioned when he was 36, he was the patriarch of the family. the area i covered was the 1960's and 1962, he was considered a joke. he was unqualified for the race. it was interesting edward maccormack was talking about trading on your family name and eckford mccormack was trading on his family name. >> on the other hand-- >> brand against the republican, the sign of the lodge family did not even bring it up at that point because he knew he was treating his family name. everyone was, but, but six years, when you go from 62 to 68 is an enormous span in his life and the life of the country really because in 1962 i uncovered this letter from ted complaining to his father, again these letters were priceless, saying that at the maccormack, this was before anyone had officially announced that eddie mccormack was convinced that teddy was not going to run and he was convinced because he had been at a reception in washingto

and senator edward kennedy, democrat from massachusetts, should also continue to miss time as he battles a brain tumor. harry reid's spokesman said the seating will not automatically give democrats absolute power.
