this is what is so fascinating. america has a million sides. >> when you are out in the country, how do you keep track of everything? >> the library of congress does not let me submit anything without the data base. that keeps me honest. now i put the number of the shots, and exactly what this was, or i record wherever, and this is such and such. -- on my ipad two. i cannot submit this to the library of congress unless they know what this this. so i can tell the public what it is>> here is a picture of some. state borders. -- skateboarders to>> this is a louisville ky. this is 20 years old. >> and is this in the library of congress or does this belong to you? >> i have about 20,000 images. -- 300,000 images. this is just a shot that i took. i think that was used in, texas 1000 years athis is about 20 years ago, from go -- new orleans. >> and you have to ask their permission? i usually get model released>> this is a relative of mine,. in a log cabin my great grandfather and my where great- grandfather were born here.

>> i am fascinated by america. and if i can leave this good earth and have left behind how beautiful that we are, for people to appreciate these places, that is all that i need. i will have accomplished everything i needed. >> will people be able to stay at home and look at these projects? >> not only that, i don't know many other places you can go. if you want a high-resolution image, you can download this from the library of congress. this is amazing. there is no ending. this is a large, large camera that takes up a lot of space but this is no problem. this is fantastic. they are accommodating me. this is the best place for me to be. >> and how did you shoot this picture of the supreme court? is this from the ground? >> this is very high resolution. you can see the quality of this. >> sometimes this was for a few minutes. >> it is very quick unless i have the time for the interior. >> do you bring a lot of lights? do you have any help? >> sometimes i do and sometimes i don't. i have decided i need to travel with

gosh there are so many things that are fascinating right now. my wife and children the united states of languages the future of human society per my next book is about a series of things that are foreign most fascinating my next book is about traditional societies tribal societies like those of my uni friends who raise children differently from us in the united states then they all people differently from us in the united states and the religions are different from us in the united states in the first world in europe and japan and i'm fascinated by why these differences from between traditional societies and modern society and what we can learn from these traditional societies in many ways some aspects of the way that they bring up children are infinitely superior to what we do in the united states and some ways in which they treat their old people are better than the tragedies that play out in the united states so i'm fascinated by these differences between traditional societies and widened in the first world society i am very much looking for

i know you're fascinated with this topic. let me start with pain. this is a vexing problem for military and civilian doctors alike. you've talked to the dalters at walter reed. what are they telling you about their approaches? >> they're telling me just what you described, a new way to address pain, pain management. whether you suffered from a traumatic injury from war or pain from a disease or something you're dealing with as a regular civilian. looking at it, not just as a symptom. but as a disease, if you will of the nervous system. how do you interrupt that pain signal that goes to your brain. you get injured, you have a problem, the pain signal goes to your pain. how do you very quickly interrupt it so it doesn't become a neurological pattern? they're looking at things like regionalan anc regional, anesthetics, nerve blocks, if you have an injury to your arm, do a nerve block right away so the pain signal doesn't get started and go right to your brain. they're having a lot of success with this. and what they're learning in dealing with so many

it's a fascinating topic. it goes all of the way back to george washington and the revolutionary war when there was the first real use of smallpox vaccines or inoculations. think about that. all of the way into the civil war when they started doing amputations and really understanding we have large numbers of wound we, how to do triage, how to prioritize like they do in emergency rooms today. if you've got cases coming in, who do you deal with first? wars have actually proven to be great arenas for learning medical lessons. >> it's amazing to think about that history because triage is just the way we do things now but to think it has a genesis perhaps in the civil war is fascinating. what about vietnam? >> that is the case that most people can relate to. as you know, in vietnam it was the first use of helicopters landing right on the battlefield under fire to take wounded trops out of there and get them to medical care. the so-called golden hour, getting someone off the battlefield, getting them to care within

this is a fascinating revelation.ey anthony been convicted this issue with the chloroform searches would have been grounds for a new trial. i mean, is that right? >> it certainly would have led off a motion for a new trial, this and all the other junk sky athens the prosecution presented. i think this just kind of points out to the fact that the jury got it right and this just supports everything that i kind of suspected from the get go. this idea that somehow there were 84 searches of this or that just wreaked at the time of somebody who just didn't know what they were doing when they were looking at the searches. >> would you have said, as a defense lawyer, what would you have done in the situation? if it just smacked of not making sense? >> i've had this precise case twice over with murder cases where somebody has gotten up and purported to be an expert and then take an look at the search. and it's really just the fact that they can't read it properly. >> you know, paul, needless to say a lot of people are paying a

it's also a fascinating look at washington during the depression. and the characters behind the headlines. paul dickson is the author of more than 45 nonfiction books and hundreds of magazine articles. recent books include the hidden language of baseball, "and sputnik" the shock of the century. he's a founding member and former president of washington independent writers and a member of the national press club. thomas a. allen is the author of "george washington spiremaster" chosen by the new york public library as one of the 100 best children's books of 2004. and co-author of "spybooks, the book of espionage," the principle sourcebook for the international spy museum. also a member of the press club, he's written extensively for national geographic society and has appeared on television as an authority on military and intelligence subjects. please welcome paul dickson and thomas a. allen. [applause] >> thanks a lot. we're extremely happy to be here tonight. this has been a long odyssey for tom and myself. and people always said, how did this thing

. >> fascinating watching you because i know you don't like watching yourself, do you? >> i'm -- i have gotten a lot better. since i've been producing i've gotten a lot better with it. i hate my voice. i hate the way i sound. i think that was always -- >> it's not your real voice, that's the problem. >> maybe because it sounds very foreign. but since i've become a producer and i've had to sit in editing rooms for hours and watch footage be cut together, i think -- i think i've gotten better to kind of take myself out of it and really look at it as making a film and you kind of take all that weight off just yourself, which has been really great for me as an actor. >> you bring incredible intensity to this stuff. scared the life out of me. i'm just watching you from a monitor. you're like a raging volcano in some of these parts. >> a raging volcano who likes to clean. >> yes. the most weird type of raging volcano. >> look, that film, taylor hackford, the director of that film, cast me after several screen tests and auditions. and the studio didn't want me. the studio thou

why didn't you ask that because one of the things i'm really fascinated about and i am still coming up with ideas from a third book even though my publishers already asking or even already asking you know what do you think you know one of the things i'm really fascinated by is is the most high racial society that's emerging in america and i'm sure you've seen the same numbers i have in terms of census the passing fastest growing population in this country are children who identify themselves as biracial or multiracial as a parent as a you know different race and so i think that that really is part of what's going on here right is that people can no longer easily sort of you know put people on the convenient box as we've always relied on and so you start looking for other boxes to put people way i think that's part of this conversation the other thing that i've heard i want to be very clear here in terms of writing this book my role here in the book is not to judge it's to make us ask questions and think about things and one of the things i do keep hearing whenever i write about this to

which makes it really fascinating reading. but family values play a big role and relationships play a big role in what occurs, and i wonder if you could draw out the relationships that occurred -- what the family man in this story. people sometimes forget the gun fight involved three sets of brothers. and what that added to the mix. >> when you are out in the frontier, when you were prospecting, when you were trying to run a business or ranch, everybody else in the area to a certain extent was a competitor. it was hard to know who you could trust, who wouldn't be trey you and for that reason family was so important. it was so critical. the earp brothers were desperately loyal to each other. insult to one was an attack from all of them. that was also true of the clantons and the mcclowerys. you trusted your family, you defended your family. sometimes you might be a little too pro and to defend them. these were the kinds of relationships that were important out there. in a place where you are struggling to create yourself. in th

that's what's so fascinating. the language issue-- the language issue-- sometimes we're like, "oh, come on, can't we say blank blank?" you know, we've obviously pushed the envelope with that. we did a whole episode with the "s" word and why you can't say it on tv. but that stuff's not that interesting anymore. it's an economic kind of thing. that's a good example. they called and said, "we want to do the 's' word 162 times." it's very classy of you to say "the 's' word." we don't want to sully your program with the "s" word. (divney) we're lucky we're even on here. but i thought about it. you know, i was not going to do it because of this language issue. i said, you know, "we can't do it." and a sum total of how many times? 162 times. but it was so satirical. it was so smart. how can we not do it? and advertisers sponsored it; that show was sponsored. (paulson) and it was really reminiscent-- and we got 5,000 e-mails the next day from the parents-teachers council, my sister-in-law being one of them. those were neg

. >> it was fascinating. >> thank you. >> i thought they were all fascinates. a fascinating piece on comparing jacqueline kennedy and michelle obama, and iconic figures in american history and american society. and one the things that she explored was that i like here discussed how has michelle obama influenced ideas on first lady and first families in american life? >> well, it's hard to answer that question because she's still in office and we are only part the way through a first term which i hope will be a second term. and that's part of the problem. when a person comes under secret service protection and at the time that jacqueline kennedy ran -- when john kennedy ran for office and became elected president of the united states, her secret service protection did not start until the day she walked out of their palm beach florida house to go to washington to get ready for the inauguration. once you come under secret service protection every moment of your life is a public record. where you go, what you do, secret service logs are public documents. so we are

been a fascinating day for us. >> what can you see right there as you are tracking mission control? give us a tour. >> reporter: sure. sure. all right. if you look behind me here, just right behind me is where the flight director sits, and that is the person that they have teams that will rotate here. this will be manned 24/47 during the course of this mission. and what's fascinating is that there are very few monitoring that actually show them video of the space shuttle. the main monitor gives them the course of where the space shuttle "atlantis" is in orbit. right now, just past the eastern seaboard and out over the atlantic waters right now. so it has been fascinating to see just how quickly that space shuttle, "atlantis," john, has been whipping around the earth, travel agent 17,500 miles per hour and it takes about 90 minutes to do a full orbit around the earth. so they are already hard at work. the cargo bay has been opened up and they are planning to connect with the international space station sunday morning. >> and ed, as you are thering they obviously have a busy 12 days a

it is a fascinating situation. we have jeffery tubin with us. we have been talking about this in the past. the judge says this is in the hands of his doctors, primarily. how does it work? can prison doctors hold loughner down and force this medication into him? >> the defense has one goal. to keep him from getting executed. that is the only goal. at the moment, he has been found not fit to stand trial. as long as you are not fit to stand trial, you are not getting executed. the status quo is pretty satisfactory to the defense. the problem here is that the medical authorities are trying to get loughner better. they are giving him drugs. they are treating him the way any severely mentally ill patient would be treated. that may get him sane enough for trial and thus, excuse. the defense is trying to keep the status quo and not get him cured so he doesn't get executed. >> jeff, thank you. for the psychological aspect of the story, we turn to jeff gardier. he has been following the story. jeff, let me start with your expertise on this. what is wrong

it is fascinating. i think what's--what's--one of the fascinating things is that the founding fathers and the next generation, they knock out slavery where it's weakest and they leave it where it's strongest. and they almost make the civil war inevitable by doing that. c-span: and how did that happen? >> guest: wa--well, it happened because they--there were reformers who took the initiative and abolished slavery in the north, and the absence of slavery in the north not only meant that they didn't have slaves, it meant that it freed northerners to imagine a world without slaves, to write critically of slavery. if slavery had still been in the m--in their midst in the north, you wouldn't have had people being so freely critical of it. i--so i think it's both the absence in the north and the presence in the south that keeps it in the public eye. and then, of course, there are vocal anti-slavery people. congress opens each session, and there are a bunch of petitions, some of them from free blacks, some of t

>> i think it's a very fascinating period. i thought the, i mean he didn't do justice to a description of the assassination itself. just the intrigue, even more fascinating than the aabbe ssination is the aftermath, wait forces were beginning to jockey and trying to figure out what was coming next. nobody realized the republic was finished, you know. the way people fought for political power, the issues of the day, of the few wanting it all and the many wanting, wanting something back, those kind of issues, it was a very fascinating, very relevant time in a way. >> how many times did ceasar marry? >> ceasar had three wives. >> who were they? >> the first one was a young one, oh, you are going put me on spot to remember their names? now i can't even remember my girl friends' names. let me see. calpurnia was the last wife. the one who begged him not to go to the senate house because she had had a precognative dream where she visualized ceasar covered in blood and she felt something terrible was going to happen. his first wife, h

this is fascinating for me. if piers morgan says the same thing i say, it's okay. if frank rich says it, it's okay. but somehow if we make those same arguments in love and out of respect, somehow we're haters. somehow we're being too hard on the president. somehow inside our own community you're a pariah. why is what i say any different? >> you say in your book is your favorite quote is samuel beckett. if you fail, fail again, fail better. is part of your problem with president obama that he doesn't take enough dramatic action to risk potential failure? he's not doing things fast enough. i mean, interestingly, just when everyone was saying this, he went and killed bin laden. boom bang. took him out. audacious raid. he has it in him to do that kind of thing. then on the debt crisis, on the economyebyzv_bd{oÑ]ean dimp ten. >> i think it's about, priorities. >> how do we get people back to work? if you were in charge, what do we do? >> there's got to be a laser focus on jobs. number two, the president shouldn't be afraid to say the word poverty. you can't be afraid to

i am fascinated by that quirk on the brain. then you have artificial intelligence where programmers have blank sheets of paper and say we don't know how the brain works but we want to do something similar. i have a team in seattle trying to encode initially a biology textbook and put that knowledge in software. is a well trodden path the superhard to do your representation as i am sure you know. he could give you a better link than i could. it is hard to do that in software because real life reasoning involves probabilities and things that are still research areas for artificial intelligence. we are moving down that path and you can see 3 years down the road maybe we will have something really significant. in the meantime we are concentrating on getting a biology test inside computer software in a way that a student can ask questions and get a coherent answer from the software. it is groundbreaking work and people in seattle manager yet. we have had work done to forward that work. >> host: project a low -- halo. is that somethi

fascinating, you apparently love crossword puzzles. >> absolutely addicted. i carry them around my purse. i am stuck on the one, the car driving me here, about halfway through but i did not finish. i said i will finish on the way back. tavis: how did you develop a love for the crosswords? >> i don't know, i love words. i am not into numbers that much, and there are people looked on that, but crossword puzzles. if i get a puppy and a paper trained him, all of a sudden i would open the paper and would be a cross word, no, you cannot go on that. tavis: are you pretty good a crossword puzzles? >> i am not a wizard, but i do them so much, pretty soon you get into the pattern. i love them. tavis: i ask that in part because i am so fascinated, whenever i have met people who are blessed to arrive at your age and their mental acuity is as sharp as yours is, i always want to know what the trick is to being as short as you or when needed to be 90. is there a connection? >> i am not that sure, tavis, god knows, but i think ross proposals or mental -- i am not that sharp,

that was fascinating. one thinged i wanted to mention also was to give credit where credit is due to the african-american newspapers. who had wonderful coverages of presidents and much different from what we could -- the mainstream or the white press. there was wonderful stories there. investigative reporting, for instance, on franklin roosevelt's home and how he was treating the black and whites there differently with salaries and the jobs that they were doing. a lot of great work was done by the african-american press that i wanted to give credit to. as far as the people in the white house, there are diaries and interviews and books that they've written as you had mentioned. very early on, there was a slave named paul jennings who wrote about his experiences in the white house and published a book about it that was very interesting. there was a couple of people who worked for president lincoln who actually gave interviews in the limited way at the time. but a very fascinating. and i think the more we kno

we have more from santa barbara with the royal fascination. >> reporter: american fans are loving thebritish invasion. the duke and dutchess are here in santa barbara for the prince's charity polo match. and curiosity seekers, including the famous, want a glimpse. >> i've admired them from afar for years. he lived his life with such dignity. and he seems like a really good guy. >> reporter: pamela slaven and howard petrone drove all the way from tucson, arizona. >> what is about them that fascinates us? >> i loved princess diana from the beginning. >> their arrival at polo grounds was very exciting. >> we saw the helicopter ground and we're excited about that. >> what do you think about the prince and princess stuff? >> i'm not a big fan of it. >> tickets for the polo match at the santa barbara polo club range between $400 and $4,000. if you want to get up close and personal with the duke and dutchess. and they sold out. after the match, the duke and dutchess head back to los angeles. they will attend a black tie dinner at the blasco theater honoring young british filmmakers and they

there's a lot of fascinating things in the book. i decided i'm going to read this second book which is really a little more down to earth. the other thing is as congressman, everybody who writes a book sends one to the office and says you ought to read this book, and so we get all kinds of books, many of which i put into a drawer and send to my office in seattle, but i also get people who recommend books to me and say you should read this book. friends. and so forth, and one of the books was sent to me by my long time secretary, nancy james, and it's about china, the man who loved china. this is a ymca director who went to china in the late 1800s and chronicled, thee most definitive chronicling of china's contribution to science in the world. you ought to read this if you want to understand the boom is coming from in china. it's not like yesterday they discovered science. they've been there for 6,000

. >> that's fascinating to me. >> how do you see the game if you are busy tweeting? >> particularly in games where you wait for something very sudden to happen. >>> up next, 77-year-old u.s.

it's a fascinating story.he's the trailer. >> once upon time ere was a princess, the most beautiful princess in all the land. >> kinky sex, religion, the beauty queen, mormon missionaries, kidnapped at gunpoint. there was something in that story for everyone. it was a perfect tabloid story. >> it was like in the movies, when juliet looks at romeo. >> she had fallen in love with him, became obsessed with him. >> he vanished in thin air. i found him in england. the mormons had him. >> i knew there was only one way to get kirk out of mormonism. that was to make love to him. we went to a a cottage and made love for three days. it was like a honeymoon. >> this bizarre story began last wednesday. a young mormon missionary was kidnapped, driven to a house, blindfolded, and his legs shackled. >> i couldn't believe it. it was, like, shock. >> it was in all the papers. >> were you surprised? >> i didn't feel i'd done anything wrong. >> chlororm, tied up, sexua improprieties. second version is joyce's story. e mormonsget

and here's the fascinating thing. here's what it all came down to. so now we're a week away. we're a week away from the movie coming out, and it's still an nc-17. you know, we've done this give and take, but we really kept just making it worse and worse, 'cause they just made us angry. and, um, finally, scott rudin, the producer from paramount-- (stone) there was one joke. i can't remember what it was. and we called up and said, we are not cutting this joke. i don't care; i don't know what we're going to do, but that's just too bad. and then scott rudin, he's like, "okay, i'll call you." scott rudin called somebody, probably sherry lansing. she called somebody else. and the next day, the movie was an "r," and not a frame of it changed. so paramount pictures basically finally telling the m.p.a.a., "you really need to make this an 'r.'" and they're like, "okay, it's an 'r'." that's disgusting. there was a time in this country where government was leaning on creators, and all the pressure comes from-- i'd be less scared of government. they'd be accountable, 'cause we could vote

. >> you are quite passionate in your obvious fascination with him and did you read ada? >> that was the first book i read. >> did you understand that book? >> you know, i like unlike anybody else, i read that book as a fairytale. i was very young when i read ada in the 70s and one of the first people i fell in love gave it to me. >> you think it's as difficult to understand as joyce you'll lille sees -- ulises? >> not as difficult but it has so many layers and allusions. >> you have something in common with my wife because she's fascinated by nab barb cough and add da. >> -- ada works on so many levels. on one level it's very deceptive because it's fairy tale -- fairy tale lish. >> do you think nab bark cough was a snob? >> he was more a cultural snob. >> that's what i mean. >> i talked in my book that if my family could be accused of anything it would be cultural snob business sim. >> we're spending extra time on this but it's fascinating that you close the title, you're clearly intrigued by him and his work. you've read all his works? >> yes. >> you've written a book a

's in a way i saw senator obama and mccain were the least fascinated.s turned their lives upside down fascinated me and that's what i wanted to write about. >> talk about the spousal relationship. you get into that as well. has should people expect, without any spoiler alerts what should people be thinking about? and what got you intrigued to make it part of the story? >> this idea that, running for office is one of the few professions where you are asking people to sacrifice to keep your job but to get a job interview essentially. i wanted to do something on a loving couple, but how the spotlight effects their relationship. >> keli goff, "the gq candidate." i'm looking forward to finishing. it's absence the "l.a. times," they've called this a recommended summer selection, and another side of keli, which we needed to see.

a really fascinating article that came out recently. with that i would like to turn it over to jim and have him tell us how we got into writing about earl warren. >> a cue for being here. before i say anything, it was a finalist for the book prize in history last night. what she should also tell you, the winner of the los angeles times. [applause] >> earl warren. i started poking around in 2001. i became an editor at the time and was responsible for california government and political coverage. i was initially drawn to his curiosity about his time as governor. you know earl warren until quite recently, to the history of california. it was a remarkable achievement--the first race he won, and incumbent democrat in the middle of the war. a very popular president in 1950, a third of those elections, not only beat us on -- and jimmy roosevelt, over a million votes. in the middle, the most interesting of all people in those days they practice cross filing which meant if you could run for any party's nomination warren is a republican, in the d

>> reporter: fascinating developments. the top republican in the house, the top democrat in the senate unveiling dueling plans. what they think will be a solution to this debt ceiling crisis. pretty much within a half-hour of each other and this is what it boils down to. in order to raise the debt ceiling, house speaker john boehner's plan calls for two votes. first a vote on $1.2 trillion in cuts that would raise the debt ceiling through early next year. and then a second vote on $1.8

. >> host: john adams fascinates me. abigail adams, of course, exhorted him not to forget the women or enslaved people and he really talked in their correspondence which you go a little bit but lots of folks talk about their correspondence about having the union or having enslavement. >> guest: right. >> host: there was a choice to be made that we would have to pay for as a nation much later. >> guest: yes, and they understood that and adams was from massachusetts. he was not a slave owner and opposed slavery. his wife was more than an abolitionist than he was and you could see that in the correspondence as you mentioned. and she felt that slavery was not only wrong for the country but it was a sin. but her husband would never do anything about it politically again 'cause fear of the southern states. the fear of that -- that he would have a secession on his hands and, of course, that is what happened later under lincoln. but there's always been this fear for many years in the united states that the south, if it was force

i find it fascinating. and essentially, and you can correct me if i'm wrong, but cloud computing, when everything is in sync. it's as if all of the information is just up there. and you know, this is a big deal for business because it cuts back their costs massively. >> right. you talked about the scale of the issue. on top of what we're worrying about this year, it's going to double in size every two years. so, the problem of massive amounts of information will only become more challenging. now, the things that aren't changing the number of skilled professionals to deal with technology. the amount of floor space or power. we have to approach technology in a different way. that's where cloud computing comes in. think of it as a 747, that a company needs to ship packages on two holiday days a year. but they need a smaller plane the rest of the year. that's how companies have had to architect building technology. they had to have big scale for when they need it most. cloud computing allows you to use what you

i find his words fascinating. there are many men in the territory of the mexico who, by living constantly in the open air and exposed to the rays of the burning sun have become bronze and complexion. whatever may be their color, the treaty stipulation's between the united states and of the republic of mexico have invested them with all of the privileges and immunities of american citizens. the first duty, which the government owes to its people is to give both military and civil protection. in this case, the government is under a double obligation. mexico was compelled to relinquish the right to a portion of her territory and the right to protect a portion of her people by the 10,000 pleasant memories and hopes and vv endeared by 10,000 painful for birding's for the future. but painful for earnings for the future? they can be described as what was a five letter word, a very dirty word on both hispanic population among the rio grande. i will just spell it, t-e-x-a-s.

he is a fascinating actor. you go back to his original career. he has a quirky role in this movie. >> here is the deal. i consider myself a critic who -- i appreciate action films regardless of their -- if there is script problems, dialogue problems being bad asking. i can turn my brain off and appreciate beautiful action that michael bay shows us in these films. transformer, drk of the monday is not a great fill. it is a great experience. you walk into this movie, you turn your brain off and you enjoy the ask he has created for you. it dates back to the space race and a fictional story. we went to the moon because of an alien crash site landing n that alien crash, there was a -- we'll call it an artifact that got into the wrong hands and it could destroy earth. there are good and bad transformers. it gets into the hands of the bad transformers. it's generic plot line -- >> and convoluted even to hear you talk about it. >> it is very nerdy. all you have to know that is the autobots are on the good guys and the action scenes take place. the 3-d, i
