elliot viewed him as just another standard issue communist dictator. [laughter] angela davis, my third protagonist, was in the class of 1961. that class included robert deniro for a time, his parents were artists that lived in the village, and kathy pew doone who later became involved in the 1981 -- she took part in the 1981 brinks robbery in which a guard and two policemen were killed and served many years in prison for that. angela grew up in birmingham, alabama, at the height of jim crow, and to escape from the wretched, segregated school system, she entered ei in her junior year on a scholarship from the american friends' service committee. and i will just read a short passage about her. when she entered the school, although angela braced herself for outright hostility, she had not foreseen her host's tendency to be oversolicitous of its few black acquaintances. angela did not question the community's desire to eliminate racism, and she knew that bringing her to the school was an earnest action toward that end. but from day-to-day, she questioned t

in elliot's opinion that fear was overblown. increasingly appalled by the school's ideological slant elliott began to vocalized his own political views. he debated his classmates in the basement cafeteria. is chief opponent was tom hurwitz. is equal in intellectual precocity and love of a good fight, the impromptu discussions often ended in shouting matches between the two. a hot topic was cuba and fidel castro who had come to power in 1959. most students are him as a romantic revolutionary bringing economic and social justice to his people. elliott saw him as another standard issue communist dictator. angela davis was in the class of 1961. that class included robert deniro for untimely. they lived in the village and kathy levine who later became involved in the 1981 -- took part in the brinks robbery in which a guard and two police men were killed and served many years in prison for that. angela davis lived in birmingham, alabama at the height of jim crow and escape from the wretched segregated school system, she entered e. i.

[chuckles] uh, saw what happen, sir? [squeaking] so, dr. cox, can you, uh, look at her chart? newbie, did you not see what just happened? kelso is so far up my ass that i can taste brill cream in the back of my throat, and, you, you're-- you're a third-year now. wake up. this whole "dr. cox riding in to the rescue" part of the show is over. [pager beeping] no, you're on your own. j.d.: elliot's unlucky streak continued with the head of the radiology department. dr. moyer, uh, you told me my patient had colitis, and it turns out it was just traveler's diarrhea. so? that sounds like good news. yeah. he took it as bad news, maybe 'cause of the unnecessary colonoscope i shoved 3 feet up his pooper? what do you want me to do? uh, a-apologize to my patie

in elliot's opinion, that fear was a bit overblown.increasingly appalled by the school's ideological point, alia begin to vocalize film political views. he debated with his classmates in the basement cafeteria his chief opponent was tom hurwitz. is equal and intellectual and their love of a good fight. the impromptu discussions often ended in shouting matches between the two. a hot topic in those lunchroom debates with cuba and fidel castro would come to power in 1959. most of the students are cast as a romantic revolutionary who would bring economic and social justice to its people. angela davis, the third antagonist. that class included robert de niro for a time. and kathy, later became involved in the 1981, she took part in the 1981 brings robert in which a guard and two policemen were killed, and certain years in prison for that. angela grew up in birmingham, alabama, at the height of jim crow, and to escape from the wretched segregated school system, she entered the i in her junior year on scholarship from the americans friends co

.: and elliot was still searching for something to turn things around for her. oh, my god! isn't she beautiful?! i mean, this car has totally maxed out my credit, but my self-esteem's been so low lately that i think it's worth it, don't you? i just deliver the cars. she's all yours. frick! j.d.: really, the only difference is that by the third year nothing catches you by surprise. mrs. farr's still having acute abdominal pain. so, what's wrong with me, doctor? j.d.: oh, good lord. i have no idea. ok, don't panic. just do what all doctors do in this situation and fake a page.

people were just beside themselves and they wrote in high lee pingree terms triet and elliot has always been able to drive his classmates crazy and by extension the entire left wing community crazy and it is a role that he has relished. >> so in all of these years of research that you did for the book what was the sort of most surprising thing you found about them -- about one of the three characters, or what detail did you uncover that really kind of took you by surprise? >> oh, golly. let me come back to that.

let's ask attorney and former homicide prosecutor elliot selig.ou for joining us. >> pleasure to be with you. >> the judge overturned the ruling but moving it forward italian law doesn't force her to go back. but there's something called the u.s. italian extradition treaty. could that mean she has to go back? >> bottom line heather i don't think amanda knox will ever again see the inside of an italian cell. they have an extradition treaty. it has been in effect in 1984. the existence doesn't mean someone is going to automatically sent back. all it means is the legal framework exists to potentially send someone back. even if she is convicted again even if the italian supreme court up holds the conviction and even if the italian government makes a formal request to have her extradited the fact that the u.s. can still oppose that extradition she can fight extradition and the authorities won't extradite her unless among other things that probable cause exists to believe she is guilty of this crime. >> let's talk about that. initially there was a lot o

and elliot kept touch with the school as a set until about the 1980s. and then he just felt like, you know, the people had, you know, his classmates turned their back on him. so yeah, he hasn't been back in a long time. and as a matter of fact, i forget when, in the mid '90s i think ei published a 50th anniversary commemorative book, and everybody sort of submitted their memories to any action is a very nice letter saying, you know, i remember the arts were. i just had wonderful expenses there. i hope the old left pieties have departed. i hated everything about the politics there, and i hope that's gone now. and as for everything else, i loved it. it caused a tremendous uproar when it was published. people were just beside themselves and they rode in in highly angry terms. and elliot has always been able to drive his classmates crazy, and by extension the entire sort of left wing community crazy, and it's a role he has relished. anyone else? so, in all of these years of research, what was the most surprising thing that you found about them or about one

update news reporter elliot al-a-goo-zee-an shows how apprehension still lingers for some students. ">>>"there does seem to be a lot of robberies, a lot of issues." junior tommy mccormick believes that there is more university police can do to address the safety of students as well as the crime on campus. "i don't know if they're doing enough to prevent it, i don't want to say that they're not trying to prevent it but i do think maybe there could be more on campus that the police department could do." mccormick is not the only student who feels the fear of walking on campus at night. "it is scary especially when you're by yourself, because usually at night when i'm here i'm by myself." photography major jerica lowman thinks that posting officers at certain locations on campus would put students' minds at ease. "so maybe have the security that they do have on campus maybe more populated toward the entrances or the exits so that students will see them and they feel safer knowing that they're there." "it would be a good thing because their presence will be known and people won't commit

[laughter] knew well there is a professor named elliot cahn a historian also neil conservative, one of those uphold starting conditions to invade iraq and also part of the defense policy advisory board. he goes to iraq and is the only number that goes there and sees it is a disaster. the insurgency is mounting. he comes back feeling really upset and pangs of guilt because he was advising this administration and advocated for the war. his son had recently joined the army and was going to be sent to iraq coming into this mess he helped to create. he thinks he has to do something about this. so he goes through the rolodex and military journals to invite anybody he can find to right remotely anything interesting of counterinsurgency and warfare. so they'll a symbol for five days to discuss these things. the pivotal part is not what they discussed but that they met. they did not know each other or that they existed, they thought they were out on no limb writing staff nobody would reid, going against the mainstream army, a lot of people were junior officers, mid-level officials, think tanks

currently a senior fellow, elliot abrams. welcome back, sir?k you, good to be here. >> sean: president went on his apology tour. president said he stopped torture and close gitmo. are we better off for it? >> no. i think you can show that by poll data by one thing. there is not more respect for the united states particularly in the middle east. this idea of, you know, reaching out to iran and syria and enemy regimes like that has failed, it has failed to convince anybody friend or foe. that is the problem. you get less respect from your foes and your friends feel weaker. >> sean: discuss about iran and their proxy wars they are fighting through hezbollah and all these different radical groups. they have tentacles all over the place causing trouble. there are numerous threats they want to wipe israel off the map. i believe them. you only go back my mind to 1930s i see an analogy there. if netanyahu is right and one year away from mahmoud ahmadinejad having nuclear weapons, what does that mean we have to do? >> well, i think it means we need to p

[laughter] but i spent 30 years, as he said, going to saudi arabia mostly as a reporter or foreign editor talking to saudi officials about oil, iraq/iran, arab/israeli, so geopolitical issues. and when i retired from the journal in 2006, the one thing i was really interested in doing with my newfound time was trying to understand saudi society. how did saudis look at each other, what was the society like, how did they look at their rulers, how did they look at us. and as i speak about saudi arabia, everyone constantly asks me why did you do that, why did you spend five years month after month going there dressed in my long, black clothes? my editor asked me that, actually, when i turned in the manuscri

archaeologist elliot abrams and two stone masons climb to an ancient maya quarry site. abrams is trying to calculate just how much labor the king had under his command. how many workers were required to build the palace of 18 rabbit ? abrams: it would be wonderful to observe mayan indians building the structures that they built at copan. of course, that's impossible, so we have to set up experiments which replicate the behaviors as best as possible. keach: abrams times each of the construction phases as the maya might have performed them. knowing the maya used only stone tools, abrams estimates that two people could quarry over 3,000 pounds of rock in a day. he times the other processes, like transportation, knowing that the maya had no wheels or draft animals. abrams also times the manufacture of the blocks and construction of part of a wall. five cubic feet takes 80 minutes. by measuring all the walls in a building, abrams estimates the time needed to complete the masonry. he then adds this figure to the times for other processes like back-filling dirt behind the wall

key to replace him and when he served as acting attorney general for three months between the time elliot richardson resigned and william sacks was appointed, not bad for one's first six months on the job. the title "saving justice" comes from bob's decision not to resign after the saturday night massacre, which by the way he thinks should have been called the saturday night involuntary manslaughter because nixon didn't plan it but just blundered into a. bob believed the president has the authority to control everyone in the executive branch and to fire insubordinate personnel and cox had proclaimed his insubordination on national tv. whether a president is wise to exercise that authority is for history to decide to. attorney general richardson had promised the senate that he would maintain of special prosecutor in place and he fought therefore that he had to resign when nixon asked him to fire cox, but bob bork had not made any such promise. he thought the president was untitled to dig is done grave if he insists. also thought that he should not gain by the deep and certainly should not

this is karen elliot house who went from the "dallas morning news" to "the wall street journal" in 1984. and she says: one of the stories i did that i think made the journal want to hire me was during watergate. there was a young man named bud crow who was working at the white house wolfs one of the low-level people that got in trouble and got sentenced to prison. the day he was leaving the court, i called up the white house and asked to speak to him. of course, you're from the morning news -- "dallas morning news", so nobody wants to talk to you. so i said to him i'm that woman whose picture is in the paper standing behind you, and i want to talk to you about how you tell your kids you're going to prison. he said, well, i don't think i want to talk, and he put me awe. and that evening i was driving down 17th street past the white house at night with my boyfriend, and i saw him walking. and i screamed, stop the car! [laughter] and i got out of the car and just went up to him and said i'm that woman that called you today, and i want to talk to you. he said, well, i'm taking my last walk

they give you something to aspire to as a new nation and how elliot and wonderful it can be. you do not offend people who dislike the courts and the royalty of europe. >> she had a parrot? >> yes. apparently it was a terror and would attack people. she played her own part in this last moment when everybody throughout the white house, there is a white french servant, and he takes the bird over to the house where she lived long enough to make it where somebody is the victim of a nighthawk. >> maybe some people in washington secretly cheered.
