i teach history at george washington university, and every semester one of the most widely discussions i have with my students is this very question of u.s. response to the holocaust. and certainly very interesting counterpoint on roosevelt's concern and how that might affect the war in north africa. i hadn't considered that before and it will in the future. but some issues my students like to discuss the most, easy to touch upon, things like the impact of the great depression, impact of world war i, domestic politics in the united states, and that's of course begin -- because you begin your discussion in 1941 but it interested to know why you decide to start in 1941 and how you feel those other incidents in mid-to-late \30{l1}s{l0}\'30{l1}s{l0} would impact the story. >> i have lectured about other portions of this book elsewhere. i thought that the holocaust museum, roosevelt's reaction to early news of the holocaust was kind of a natural. i do think that yes, influence of world war i in the way of creating a kind of revulsion against american involvement in european quarrels and the

>> guest: george washington university and part time at georgetown. hello to my terrific students. i teach pretty much everything required for the miner and major, introductory women's history, specialized class on women's sport. over enrolled since 1996 i teach a survey course in women's history which has about 120 first-year students. right now i have athletes from every sport. i have a lot of people in their first year, and i have graduating askers -- seniors who have waited all the different years with a different major just to take a women's study class before they graduate. >> host: what is women's studies? >> guest: women's studies has been a department or program at american colleges since 1969. the first women's study program was at san diego state in 1969. it's an opportunity to look at pretty much all the humanities from the perspective of how women's lives have been shaped. that's material that is often neglected. many people can go from cinder garten through law school and never learn about a women's contribution and be considered an educate person. so if you want to p

. >> i teach at george washington university. sure. this is a long, lengthy process.ecades to begin to build strong institutions of government. in libya when muammar gaddafi fell, he never allowed any tuition to gain enough capability to challenge him. libya, to some extent, was starting from scratch. it lacks the single most important imperative of a national government which is a monopoly on the use of force. every constituency are heavily armed and potentially in combination. it's going to take time. you have to deal with region by region, pocket by pocket. it has a roadmap, getting the new parliament in place. that is going to be a difficult challenge. getting a constitution that much like we saw in tunisia, finds a way to be far more inclusive by contrast than what we have seen in egypt. >> i want to find out where we stand in libya. two years after the fall of muammar gaddafi, it is fragile. an interim parliament was elected in 2012, on february 12th libyans will elect an assembly that will right a new constitution. then the new constitution will come in effect,

joining us from so she now is lisi -- lisa delpy neirotti from george washington university.or faster neirotti where are you now and share some of your physical environment and what it looks like? ready form getting the opening ceremony. we are actually in a little bit of traffic heading toward the olympic park. but this morning i was in the park, and it was spectacular. the venues are shining. the look is just so colorful. there is a lot of olympic spirit here. it is just too bad that more people are not here to experience this. host: we heard a little bit of whining and complaining from journalists about certain hotel rooms, etc., and water conditions. what is your experience? guest: we are fortunate. we are in a guesthouse, which is not new but it is very comfortable, hot water. heat, internet. so, it is just those few new hotels that are really causing the problem. media likes to blow things a little out of proportion so, yes, there were some sponsors and some guests that were put out because they took a risk on the hotels being built. but overall, i think the fan experie

professor of medicine at the george washington university medical faculty.e appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >> when we return. a new warning about a potential threat facing olympic visitors. and we'll meet a young athlete moving at top speeds, to her goals in life as a russian adoptee. >> now a snapshot of stories making headlines on "america tonight." tide to philip seymour hoffman's final days, they arrested four people in connection with the drugs found in hoffman's apartment, found more than 350 bags of heroin in the alleged dealer's den. >>> thousands of gallons of the chemical out of state, the associated press reports freedom industries will move 3500 gallons of the chemical to a coal facility in pennsylvania, last month, it poisoned the drinking water of 300,000 in the state. >>> u.n. report, urged vatican to open its files on pedophiles within the church. >>> count down is on to sochi, just two days to go before the opening of the sochi winter olympics and tonight there is mounting concern about security in the air. specifically air travel.

he's now a professor at george washington university law school. i want to get your reaction first to the cvs decision, are you surprised to hear about that? >> i'm not surprised, i think it was an important and courageous decision. in the long run, i think they're going to make money out of it rather than losing opinion it's going to help discourage smoking or help the 90% of smokers who want to quit to do so, there by saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. it will put great pressure on other companies, other pharmacies to stop selling cigarettes or face inevitable legislation. >> you have been fighting this battle for a long time, right? as someone who looks at it, who sees it -- i've come in at the tail end of it, where the stigmatization has been very effective. was it stigmatizing tobacco, preceded the companies losing power? or did they lose their power and that lead to it being able to successfully stigmatize smoke something. >> i think the simple answer is legal action. some would say suing the bastards. the surgeon general's rep

>> and joining me now to explain exactly what he meant is the man you just heard from, george washington university law professor, jonathan turley. professor, welcome back, good to see you. >> thank you very much, sean. >> a very serious charge. you packed a lot in there. you do not agree with me on a lot of political issues but you may agree with me on this, explain why you took a strong stance. >> you know, the concern i have certainly did not begin with the president. i think president bush also showed the same tendency, but it has accelerated under this president. what we're seeing is a change in the system, that the framers created a branch of three, that exists as a type of orbittal whole, because they lean on each other and are balanced. what we are seeing is a shift, largely of legislative to the executive branch. and that is creating a dominant presidency, we don't have a system for that and as a result it is destabilizing. what people may not realize is that the system exists there to protect individual rights. the framers wanted to avoid any branch concentrating or aggregating its power

i also teach at george washington university. itg sports management class. of my practice on privacy and security issues. i deal a lot with digital crisis management and digital risk management. those are some issues that i think these past olympics have really brought about and several of our speakers today have focused on the physical aspects. peter spoke about some of the issues with the digital issues, especially the laws that have been put in place. what i'm going to try to do is talk about the role of the media along with the different social and digital media issues that have come into play these past olympics. or the current olympics that are going on. i think that is helpful in understanding where our security concerns are currently and where they're going to be moving forward. i think youk back, have to first thing about the media's will in the 72 olympics in munich. that was the television age. you have to think about, the security issues were focused on, how do we protect this venue? no one really knew what was happening. we all know what happene

we begin with jonathan turley who is a constitutional attorney and a professor at the george washington university law school. this is quite something. under republican administrations and democratic administrations, attorneys general have decided in rare instances not to defend a law on the books. but to them, polling the states attorneys general and say, i wish you'd consider doing it to. in particular, the question is, on gay marriage, whether this is a bridge too far for eric holder. your thoughts. >> i find it troubling, not because he's speaking to his state counterparts. the attorney general would reach out to his state counterparts and they'll try to coordinate their position on policy. the problem is not giving advice, but the specific advice that he's giving. you know, many of us were troubled by the role of attorney general holder and the administration in the last challenge. essentially the administration left that litigation in midstream and refused to defend the federal law. and it created a pileup in the courts. it's not clear who could defend the law. and the same thing happened wi
