gandhi was also there. also present was the great leader of -- what i'm going to read to you is a description of what's happened at the meeting given by a man who was present, a very well-known literary figure and also a lawyer who held high political office in india. before this convention was a resolution which in very strong terms condemned what had happened on the april 13th day, the killing of 370-plus people. it also criticized, deplored violence in the crowds a few days before that incident. this is the account of what happened. the hearts of most of us revolted at the lack of the resolution. this muff been -- must have been the work. you know, indians at that time made no distinction between an irish woman and an english woman. a white person today would be? american. this must be been the lady's work because she was british. one leader gave expression to the feeling rather crudely. no one born of an indian mother, said he, could have drafted this resolution. the latter part of the resolution was lo

which, bill, is a quote from gandhi. a new installation. >> did she know was a quote from gandhi? >> she did, she put a little -- quote, gandhi. we'll give her that credit. >> this comes to us from kusa 9 news in denver, colorado, where in nearby aspen, navigating the ultimate play ground of the well-to-do wouldn't be complete without the ultimate taxi ride. john operates what he calls the only recording studio theater night club planetarium toy store and internet connected taxi cab in the world. he does it all while driving, but says he draws the line with cell phones. so how much is 45 minutes going to cost you? $175 big ones. >>> i'm lynn berry and this is "early today." just your first stop of the day today, on your nbc station. >>> talk about a tasty tradition. in mexico city thousands of people gathered to take in the new year by eating a giant cake. the enormous pastry seemingly took all of 2010 to make, and required more than 30,000 eggs, 400 pounds of fruit, 5,000 pounds of sugar, and 2,000 bakers. but only a few seconds to gobble up. >>> well, one recent showdown had two

and gandhi was the alternate nonviolent pacifist you know we're not going to have a violent revolution to get our freedom from england now what gandhi also said was we're going to we're subjects of england if we're going we're going to support england in world war one and world war two if england's cause is just and the only way it could be just is if anyone was attacked to protect your life and your limb well what he's also said was if their cause isn't just we're not going to support you and that's what dr king said about vietnam for dr king the say well support afghanistan and iraq and maybe attack iran he would never support something like that because that is not the the cause is not just and if even if the cause is just that the conduct of the war if somebody attacks you and bombs your house does that mean you get to kill their women and children he would say no why and he would say no right to our country spending more on the military while of course our poor people are unemployed it was about social justice do you think though that you know you said that it's kind of our fault

we know, you know, that gandhi read thoreau. we know that king read gandhi. we know that we all followed martin luther king. there is a-- there's a lineage here. the most common thread was pete seeger. i think they should give a course in pete seeger in high school. pete seeger is a great american. pete exemplifies what we're talking about here in terms of a human being that lives their life in such a manner that you want to be like them. you know, you see pete seeger, and you say, "gee, i want to do that. "i want to stand next to that man. i want to stand shoulder to shoulder with that guy." he's the guy who never compromised his principles, even when he had his back to the wall, government was saying, "you're not a real american." house of un-american activities committee, you know, he just told them, "sorry, i'm not buying your stuff." (bender) one of the things you'll see in the documentary is a wonderful moment where pete describes that, and he said, they're-- "mr. seeger," you know, "are you--were you a member of the communist party?" and he answered, h

me and my wife had done a book on gandhi., i strategized with martin luther king on his own death of knowledge about gandhi. i heard corretta say to my wife clare, from the time martin chose this course, i have had a nightmare that keeps coming back. at the end of this road he has chosen, he will be killed. martin turned around to her in the car and said, i told you to stop that nightmare. dream of what we can do when we are alive. i did not choose this. they asked. he was asked by the group that said, let's have a bus boycott. the women who were in the lead of it said, we need it the pastors. somebody said, let's ask martin, this youngest, newest pastor, to be our chair. he had stayed out of these types of struggles. they asked, and he said yes. then in the car, " after he spoke to coretta, he hummed a song. what did we learn from being lucky, being able to hear and see, as if they are here -- martin luther king, robert and john? a lot. king told us a lot about what he thought should be done in the community, in this nation,

suite by gandhi and margaret thatcher. this is his most traditional restaurant located in the same building. and from. the space gets. to me. thank you very much. and you arrived in one thousand nine hundred fifty. i would say it wasn't very. very . no signs of anything nor advertisement in the streets or anything i can tell you for one example but there was a big billboard in the city where first lived in the eastern ukraine a huge billboard saying eat ice cream it's nutritious and tasty but no brand marks because. the state owned everything. there is only one brand of ice cream you could buy just as there is only one brand of beer you could buy it was a most of it was draft beer there wasn't any bottled beer at that time but as far as i can remember one final question joyce is there anything that you miss about the seventy's you i'll be honest with you martin i can never forgive the taste of the ice cream that was sold in the. department store in red square. which means department store and i understand that people from

by what is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some call him a populist in terms of number of votes his number three in the country today he's going to create quite a stir in parliament. indeed winter is here and with it comes famine and extreme urgency as he has just discovered that the food aid hasn't reached the villages yet . it was too much. to go it was so i protest that for the same reasons as last year. your remember i was expelled asked you this moment if i'm not mistaken with the money you asked for last year has not been cleared by the budget divide this is illegal. to avoid a scandal the president of the assembly cut his microphone. on s.r.c. any thoughts i thought after the go fish that we've heard the figures you're quoting dozens of times i mean i had thought about it but if you want to we can check it right now and that's cool villages and the local authorities to see if the food supplies have a right to get there i would like to get it when it. is exactly the same as last year thought they had lived and they continue to do so caught up with that peop

or gandhi's that are going to make or you know rage against the machines or don't make it that far because of the compromise that has to occur so it's basically what i expected i mean it's you know maybe to a less egregious state to the you know during the bush administration the economy has been in the hands of hands of wall street but it's certainly in the hands of wall street tom what do you make of international organizations like the u.s. you can be absolutely live up to their objectives of helping developing nations and ending world conflicts or do you think they actually cater to the benefits of the more wealthy or developments well i mean if the question is has the you know how successful is the u.n. been the u.n. security council is basically in the hands of the united states and its closest allies you know that. one hundred fifty countries you know around the planet can vote to that this has been a war crime the u.s. just says no it's not and that's the end of the discussion so it's not really so much a united nations as it is a. body of countries that is beholden to the interest

aside from gandhi is the only person in the western world who ushered in and led a fundamental political and social transformation in a major country without violence. think about it. one the things in the book though that struck me that i didn't know about was the whole measure effort on your part to copyright that speech. not for profit's sake, post posterity. >> guest: it wasn't so much posterity, it was because i had cumulative, i had had it up to here with so many people ripping martin off. i had no sense that it was going to be -- i knew the event was going to be major. i had no sense it was going to be a major speech. but i did have a sense that whatever he said was going to be used and exploited. i figured this time, let's stop it right at the pass. >> host: uh-huh. >> guest: so i -- in the -- in the limited copies that were made available in the press get, i made them pull it out and i put a couple with a c in it. >> host: circle c. >> guest: yes. to be sure that common law copyright was not terminated by the large distribution. if you have a common law copyright of something, a

gandhi, one step at a time. encouraging words but gandhi likely never had a year on lohan's 2010.twice. went to rehab twice and last month an employee at the betty ford clinic accused her of assault, a charge later recanted. so is the tumult over? lohan's expected to complete the 90-day treatment this week. addiction specialist says that lohan's most difficult work is ahead of her. >> you either change your behavior and your life style or you're going to end up institutionalized, crazy or dead. >> reporter: samuels anies lohan should lay low for a while. over the weekend, new photos emerged, pictures taken in august about which the starlet reportedly quipped, these are for my comeback and then there's this. a new website. lindsay lohan.com which promises to be coming soon. another indication the troubled actress wants to resurrect her career. if that's possible. >> she's going to have to kind of prove that she is reliable. she can't just ride on the coat tails of what she did when she was a teenager. >> reporter: can she deliver? that remains to be seen and if we believe the tweet

he's the gandhi of modern times. >> host: i think he was a former president. >> guest: i don't think he would quarrel with that. a great man, not a great caesar. >> host: it raises to me, someone at the bottom of the ex-president si. it may very well be the largest part of carter's legacy it to redefine the nebulous office. which has pluses and minuses. if you look at bill clinton's center, it is as ambitious in it's outreach in humanitarian efforts. but correct me if i'm wrong, it's not an operational, diplomatic element to what bill clinton does. grounded in the resentment that he and others felt towards jimmy carter who they thought was operating as a kind of -- freelancer. >> guest: exactly. it can be embarrassing if he feels he's being over shadowed. i think it happened when richard nixon during president ford's time when richard was going to china. i gave this man a pardon. that was the center piece. >> host: that was one the ford library. unlike lyndon johnson, he lived long enough to have the satisfaction of knowing that most americans had come to the point of view what he di

among the things that he said martin luther king, jr., aside from mahatma gandhi, the only person in the western world who ushered in and led a fundamental political and social transformation and a major country without violence. think about it. >> host: one of the things of the book, though, that struck me that i did not know about was the whole measure on your part to copyright that speech, not for profits sake, but for posterity. >> guest: well, it was not so much posterity. it was because i had had it up to here with some many people ripping martin of. i had no sense that this is going to be -- by new the event was going to be major, but i had no sense that it would be a major speech. i did have a sense that whenever he said bonn was going to be used and exploited. i figured this time let's stop it right to pass. and so in the limited copies that were made available in the press kit, but pulled it out and put a little circle. be sure that his common-law copyright was not terminated by the large distribution. you lose your ability to copyrighted. so i did that. i didn't know how i

aside from gandhi is the only person from the western world who led a fundamental political and social transformation and in major country without violence. think about it. one of the things in the book that struck me that i didn't know about was the whole measure ever to on your part to copyright that speech, not for profit say, post to posterity. >> guest: welcome it wasn't so much for saturday in that it was because i had had it up to here so many people ripping off martin, and i just, i have no sense that this is going to be -- i knew that he meant was going to be major but i had no sense of was going to be a major speech, but i did have a sense that what reason was went abused and exploited, and i think this time let's stop it right at the pass. so in the limited copies made available to meet him without indicative little circle to be sure the common-law copyright isn't terminated by the large distribution because of you have a common-law copyright of something and it's distributed without any limitation you lose your ability to subsequently copyright under the statute, okay. so i

. >> gandhi liberated india from britiscolonial rule by leading a movement of non-violent resistance. king adopted his methods and soon his boycott stretched from weeks to months. the bus company and downtown businesses starting losing money. the white community grew increasingly agitated. king was arrested twice, threatened. and then, on january 30, his house was bombed. his wife coretta and nine week old daughter were inside. >> when he rushed home not knowing whether or not i had been injuredtor baby had been injured my father said to me "well, coretta i came to get you and the baby." and i said to him "well, dad, i can't go. i want to stay here with martin because i feel this is where i should be." >> he said we'll just have v to keep praying for strength. the strength to keep going and fight what they're trying to do. that was preach. all the time. is we can't stop. >> despite the dangers he faced, king held fast to the boycott and his non-violent philosophy, a revolutionary strategy that stunned even his followers. >> it was a place of murder, a place of mayhem. non-violence in

and these have helped india to rise above in circumstances come as gandhi said wipe a tear of everyday indian face. so much it would obama is not that he is anti-colonialist but in some ways i fear he is frozen in the tim time machine at his father's anti-colonialism. his father wasn't and tied -- frozen in the epic as an of the 1950s. my fear is that in some sense america today is being governed by the dreams of a tribesman from the 50s who was in a sense of locked into a view of the world that is completely irrelevant today. countries are coming up all over the world today, and they're coming up but exploring what one economist called the advantage of backwardness. and manage of backwardness. what does that mean? what it means is if you're a poor country your labor costs are low. and if you can use that to make stuff that other people want to buy, you can come up rapidly. that's how china is coming up in india and brazil. and even indonesia. were obama lived for four years. when obama was elected, they elected a statute in a park to celebrate triumphantly demand, obama, now president

and machiavelli or gandhi said later on that he was most influence he thought i strauss.less because they think any particular teaching of either one of them than either one of them had simple teachings but because they really, they were both critics of a simpleminded liberal progressivism which i think we -- a dominant that was at the time nor were they on the other hand romantic reactionaries who love you know, 14th century sir walter scott's britain or the monarchy or the church. they were very cute no clear-eyed about the limitations of these different regimes in the past so they were friends of liberalism who were critics of modern liberalism and to read text that maybe were deeper than some of the current liberal tax and i think it had a big influence on my father. >> host: he went on to encounter in london to encounter magazine. the very beginning of 1950. >> guest:i spent most of 53 when i was still six years old in london. he co-edits counter mixing with the well-known poet stephen spender and i think he really enjoyed that. i think getting to know the british in

[captioning made possible by king world] [captioned by the national captioning institute www.ncicap.org--] to the scene shooting begins. there's new questions about whether law enforcement missed signals from such a clearly troubled man. we've learned that last year alone, campus police were called five times for classroom and library disruptions involving loughner. in may, a teacher requested police protection after he became very hostile and intimidated her. >> did the community college police ever make that information available to your department? >> no. that came to light as this investigation occurred. >> the official said there was in no reason to pass the information along. sources say loughner has been sitting in his jail cell, still smiling, still smirking. pierre thomas, abc news, tucson, arizona. >> and our coverage of the tucson tragedy continues throughout the morning. you can get the latest on th

you don't know about it and i think it is kind of like gandhi.he saw this man who committed nonviolent and he's sitting there about afraid he's going to die and looks very sad and gondhi looks at him and says what's wrong with you? he says i'm about to suffer. he says if you can't stand for truth and smile and be happy go home, you to our cause no good. in the mix of the struggle. even if you are hurting on the inside, smile. suck it up, move your feet forward. that's what i tell my kids if they are hurting smile because people who smile it's hard to throw rocks. i'm gerry optimistic about muslim relations in america. you may think i'm crazy but i really am. let me tell you why. using a yardstick to measure know it's not that is like the sunni and shia getting together. it's not. we may not get along good but ultimately we are going to do that. they were europeans. here's what you have to compare to. please don't be offended. we were having a conversation, right? let's have some fun. the reality is -- here is the reality of you to understand rela

guess what, i read gandhi and there's nothing cowardness about facing the enemy, speaking truth to powerbeing unarmed and saying i'm not going to exceed the limit. you sent me an e-mail off camera. >> uh-huh. >> saying 83% of the people who are killed by the radical extreme is are other muslims. >> yes. >> who are they really working for? right? they are hiding in the crowd in pakistan or afghanistan because they are afraid to meet the enemy, but they are going to hide behind women on their way to the market. call them what they are and engage in a notion that says war as we know it now would not be acceptable based on the understandings that i have from the son of the prophet. [applause] >> i just wanted to make a small point. earlier you asked about positive communities in a u.s., and i think one community we often overlook is the online community, and so he brought up the issue of radicalization through the web, and the antdote is there at the same time. also the question of social empowerment and social change. it's at a political level definitely and grass roots activism and the rol

you don't know about it and it is kind of like gandhi was coming into this village and he saw this man. he is sitting there and he is afraid he is going to die and he looks very sad and four london coffee looks at him and says what is wrong with you? he says if you can't stand up for truth and smile and be happy about it just go home. you to our cause no good. the point is in the midst of your struggle smiled. even if you are hurting on the inside, smile. up, move your feet forward. that is why tell my kids if they are hurting. smile because people who smile, it is hard to throw rocks. i also want to agree with ms. oh. i am very optimistic about muslim relations in america. i know you all may think i'm crazy but i really am. let me tell you why. we are using the wrong yardstick to measure. we are saying it is like when the catholics change. that is like sunnis and shia's who get together. we may not get along real good but ultimately we are going to do it. neither is it like the irish are the italians. they were europeans. here's what you have to compare it to. please don't be offended

after the euphoria upon her release, aung san suu kyi, who calls gandhi an inspiration, is refocusing her nonviolent movement for democracy. in your effort to free your people from oppression, you say you are willing to engage in a dialogue with the military regime which has been condemned for ongoing systematic violations of human rights. including rain, arbitrary decisions, disappearances, and torture. what makes you now willing to negotiate with a regime accused of such crimes? >> you have to talk to people if you want to bring about peace for change. even if you 2340e whknow what t done is very, very bad. >> you indicated you are willing to reconsider your position on international sanctions. >> we want to review the position of sanctions. we want to see what the political and social effects are. >> are you saying international sanctions are on the table. >> it depends what the outcome of the dialogue. >> what's allowed you to cling to your dreams for freedom and democracy from burma for all these years? >> freedom and democracy are goals you never give up. >> not even in her case

the future depends on what we do in the present, which is a quote from mahatma gandhi. >> one step atary of is she drinking, is she not. >> why do i even want to talk about this today? it bothers me when people who are so blessed and have so much, opportunity, beauty, wealth, talent, when they squander it and when they don't take good care of it because it is a gift. it is a gift. and you're supposed to -- it's a blessing from god and you don't realize it until you've lost it. it drives me crazy that somebody's not loving her enough to say "you are squandering this great gift god has given you!" i want her to go over to the dream center in los angeles and spend maybe a month there with my friend drew hammer. ministering to the drugged eddr and crack members and gang members. see people with real problems. i think every time you get out of yourself and get into somebody else, your life is better. >> yeah. i think a lot of people can't even afford to go to a betty ford and they wish they could. when you can do it and you have the means and you have everything. >> no more excuses. >> let
