when we look at what agent branch meant or what francis met or what a john lucas meant, they were keyn dixon won a national championship. >> ron: exactly. he has to be mentioned in that category because he is getting the numbers. imagine if you take him out of the maryland terrapin equation. what this team would look like and how it would be. he is definitely valuable to this team. i think he made the right decision in coming back to school. i don't think he was ready. >> steve: a basket again. of course you have tom mcmillan and lenny elmore. buck williams. a lot of great players. >> ron: came out of here. >> steve: yeah. >> ron: lonnie baxter. steve blake. the list is long. >> steve: goes on and on. we saw stevey blake yesterday in verizon center when the wizards knocked off portland. and he is another guy that came out of the school in typical point guard the fashion, gets the ball up and down the court quickly, makes good decisions, excellent passer, and yet he's improved his shooting as well. >> ron: i think when you come to maryland, i think you're going to get a coach that is n

nbc's francis coe reports. >> reporter: winter's grip just won't let up. >> my earrings are freezing my ears off. >> reporter: frigid temperatures froze the detroit river, where a boat got stuck, stranng three teens. visibility was virtually nil in grand rapids, michigan. locals battled the snow on all sides, from the residents to city snowplowers to the independent contractors. >> busy since 5:00, 4:30 this morning. >> reporter: lake-effect snow hammered south bend, indiana, with whiteout conditions that made maneuvering tricky for drivers and pedestrians. >> sort of slippery out here. i'm telling people to be cautious. >> reporter: meantime, philly's big chill forced many into a big bundle. in parts of new england. snow settled into a stubborn layer. >> i bushed the driveway with a broom the first time and now i'm going over it again. if you keep up with it, it's not so bad. >> reporter: but in maine, 8 inches of fresh powder has fears flying high. >> it's like a winter wonderland. >> reporter: frances coe, nbc news. >> no snow, but it is cold. >> too cold. let's go to tom kierein.

francis points out that a landmark legislation has always been passed with bipartisan immaturities. that is the case if you look at the case they tend to be lopsided. but if you look at amendments boats that is from the content of the legislation. and a more important, it be looked breed 1980, use of the across partisan election building. after 1980 we see a slide toward a more partisan breakdown within the two chambers and disproportionate chambers holding the congress you have to have a degree of bipartisanship to get anything done. now we're in that era with a partisan house and senate and that is not a great surprise. the important legislation being passed basically with the knockdown drag out those pretoria may be more predictive of what is to come than the recent history would suggest. i really enjoyed what john said and this is a new book based on what i have heard he is raising the process we will hear more about in the next 10 years to carve a like to talk about those and other stuff on the agenda briefly pritzker it is useful tooth look at previous efforts into categories

and also those bombs bursting in air that francis scott key was so impressed by that those would be counted as weapons of mass destruction. so you got the exaggeration on top of exaggeration. now there is one thing which is important for the rest of my case, is that in some respects, at least these first three, nuclear, chemical and biological weapons have a similarity in that they are very messy on the battlefield. in the case of nuke weapons, if you use them on the battlefield you've increased the radiation, then that competence things they times. chemical weapons have a similar sort of thing. they can blowback on you and so forth and you have to wear those horrible gas mask which is extra and inconvenient and sweaty and everything. and a case of biological weapons, you can get contemn a. takes a long time to make sure the area is safe. to where you want to hit the and me and take over all three of these have these kinds of disadvantages. okay. let me turn to the next issue. the question is how much of a consequence have nuclear weapons been? since world war ii. and it seems to me they've

more about his death than about his life and i had the pleasure of being with al very and being with francisfather who passed away a year ago and getting a feel for the family and getting a feel for the cousins' and the people who knew fred early on. i heard stories about when he was ten years old, fred organized the neighborhood kids and brought them over for breakfast on saturday morning because he knew some of them were hungry and he could for all the neighborhood kids. he had his own breakfast for children program when he was ten years old. when fred was done he also had a big head and people used to call him peanut head, so fred decided that he wasn't going to be called peanut head so he learned to be very good that repartee and by the time he was 14 and 15 he was known as the king of the nines. nobody took on his mouth. similarly he had a lisp, and in order to overcome his list the practice oratory and he particularly modeled himself after preachers and when to church to listen to preachers and the also memorized all the speeches of dr. king and malcolm x. so it was no accident. he too

she passed through to her three sons, charles francis adams and his two brothers, gave it to the grandson's that abigail had disinherited. that is, that she left nothing to and i don't know what abigail would have thought about that. would she be mad that louisa catherine for defying her own wishes that the money should go to women? that is a possibility but it is also possible that, when louisa katherine, a married woman, took that money and gave it not to husband, not to were husband to but two were three sons, and did so on her own authority, that what she was doing was affirming what abigail had always insisted on and what the law denied, and that was the money was hers. one last thing. the document you are holding if you are good at reading the handwriting you can see she says in the very first line she is distributing this property by and with the consent of for husband, john adams, but, his signature does not appear anywhere on the document. so it is not a legal document that any court is bound to respect. tense so, john adams would have been perfectly within his rights in taking tha
