nazi germany. now jewish palestine, which of course, was abruptly surprised on january 30th with a takeover by adolf hitler. it now looks at the number one customer which is the third reich. if those oranges are not purchase there cannot be economic vitality for jewish palestine and there was a constant threat by the third at reich that we will not buy jewish georges from the palace but but fascist oranges from spain. the valencia. this is one of the undercurrents it is easy to see this in black and white my challenge and a four history to see what establishes the murky picture. >> host: but obviously just touching on what you said so far. it is not simple there is a lot of moving and shifting and maneuvering in terms of international merchandise so can you share what were the dynamics and what were the assets? >> it starts off with it starts off with a good jew in germany taking his money and putting it into a blocked account. reich marcs were hard to identify. there were different marcs and there

strong germany as a buffer zone between eastern and western germany.o that he pushed for the new currency and when that new currency came the soviets took that opportunity to set up the blockade. simic that example is one of miniet seems to me that emerges from the story where do have a local commander in this case lucius clay who is the governor of the american sector taking actions that are not really waiting for the chain of command to be and operation. >> ackley was a very strong man, quite brilliant. the only four-star general and american history who never commanded troops. he never got to command troops because he was so first in his class at west point, followed as a senator from georgia and he was a wizard of organization and basically was an industrial czar working in washington during the war. he did what people did in those days and maybe it's unfortunate he can't do that now. people like lucius clay with confidence in their own abilities, there was a bunker underneath the american military headquarters in germany and part of that in berlin

nazi germany. now jewish palestine which of course, was abruptly surprise to january 30th would be a takeover by a adolf hitler now looks at the number one customer which is the third reich and if oranges are not purchase there cannot be no economic vitality and it would is a constant threat by the third reich we will not order oranges from palestine by from spain. this is the undercurrent. wrote it is easy to see this in black-and-white. my challenge of history is to see the complex way that established a very murky picture. >> host: let's go to those complex things. this was not a simple thing. it sounds like there is a lot of moving and shifting and maneuvering in terms of international merchandise. can you share what were the dynamics of the transfer agreement? what is the essence of it? >> guest: it starts off with a jew in germany taking his money and putting it into a blocked account. reich marks are hard to identify. they had dozens of different types of reich marks and values plan of all o

we later expanded romania, poland, croatia, hu ngary, germany. i want to conclude my remarks by saying it few words from the cases. the most famous case really on like all of the others was the case of dr. albert who was a most wanted nazi war criminal in the world. he was the only case which was known to us that was made the targets of "operation last chance" because he was a doctor and a notorious, he was called dr. debts he would kill inmates by directing the knoll directly into their hearts castration he would keep body parts as souvenirs comment no anesthesia and a horrible person. he was about to be arrested by the west germans in 1962. he was working as a gynecologist be better not. in one of the most beautiful places in germany and he set up a successful than a logical practice and they were about to arrest him and he was tipped off and disappeared into thin air. simon wiesenthal was one of the people who was looking for him. he always used to stress this case. make up the west of most wanted and make sure dr. robert is on the list. in 19

>>pieper: opel iby far the weakest player in germany... they need 5 percent less people a year...so i see no solution...i mean we dont come out of this...i mean there is no magic. >>reporter: despite all the talk of the future, the global car industry, and that includes the volume car makersin germany, still has all the characteristics of a 20th century industry struggling in a 21st century environment. as world leaders come together again to wrangle over climate change in copenhagen....a small amount of comfort has emerged from the economic crisis. those government scrappage schemes to encourage people to buy new cars mean that there are more clean, new machines on the roads than ever before. >> abirached: with revenues of around $8 billion, americas nfl is the worlds richest sports league. 19 of its 32 teams are worth more than $1 billion, and in 2008 over 90% of its games were sellouts. quite simply, in every measure its a financial success story. a large part of that success is down to the image the game portrays of itself, and the myt

east germany is still only at 70% of the income level of west germany to east germany still has massiveunemployment. i would not take my family to the eastern part of germany. i've only got to see a little bit myself. but it is not safe. -- but it is not safe for people who might be eaten or middle eastern. it is not a safe place. -- might be asian or middle eastern. it is not a safe place. even after 20 years it is not. so it is an ongoing process and i think it will be that much longer and more expensive when it finally happens with north korea. also, east germany had 1/4 of the population of west germany, so was relatively easier to absorb them north korea has half the population of -- actually, i think it is the next slide -- we will give you a few of the indicators -- proportionally, there are more north koreans than there were east germans, and east germany was at a higher level of economic development. basically, economically speaking, the process of unification with north korea is going to be much more traumatic than it was. north korea is only 1/20 the size economically of sout

it was a lucky escape for schoolchildren on this bus in germany. the driver got all 30 children off before itas struck by a trained. in northern england at several airports temporarily closed, including manchester. it was a day off for thousands of schoolchildren and a number of matches have been cancelled. poland's modest river is completely frozen with temperatures -- poland's long this river is frozen. this leads to fears of flooding. a dramatic malan rescue in japan. there are a series of climbing accidents in the country. at least three people had died. snow-related problems continue in china. passengers on this train were stopped on board for more than 24 hours. -- they were stuck on board. it ran into a wall of snow, forcing people left in freezing temperatures with no heat. in this city the freezing weather has not stopped these bathers. it is the city's annual snow and ice festival. getting out is as painful as getting in. >> the former -- the formula one racing team had his lifetime ban from the sport over term. the penalty was imposed by

cams run by germany's allies and satellite states. five will deal with another set of cams under another branch of the ss. six will deal with forced labor camps not under the ss run by pry firms and other organization and 7 will be a catchall thing that didn't fit in anywhere else. >> were the folks who did a lot of your research, did they things, anything in the german archives? >> oh, yes. yeah. >> else sp -- especially volume one most of the information comes out of german archives. >> is it well documented these camps? >> it depends on the camp but generally yes. >> host: and what kind of documents would you find? >> guest: we'd have documents setting up the cams. documents testifying to who was sen there. how many people what kinds of prisoners. what kinds of work they did. things of that nature and then we have prisoner testimony about what life was like in the camps. what kinds of treatment they received. people who were killed that sort of thing. >> what's your goal? with these encyclopedia. >> it is really twofold. one is to

aid is about five men that basically are refugees from nazi germany that escaper nazi germany and then dared to go back behind lines. i am just going to digress a little bit about that group. they had three other missions that changed the course of world war ii. but what happened is the german operational group goes back into italy and they linked up with modern roxy and it is absolutely wild. the group gets lost in the shuffle. they go to ruppel depo. many of them in including the jewish five are going to be cannibalized into a replacement unit to be paratroopers for the 82nd airborne division. chapel somehow finds a mission and he finds a mission to go back and find stephen hall. what happens is, this separate mission is prepared to give stephen hall a radio operator. going back to stephen hall now, with the operation mercury, everything is going wrong. he becomes depressed. his feet are actually frostbitten. he has to pack them in grease because it is so cold in the pre-alps in the dolomites. and he is scaling mountains and avoiding german patrols. what is fascinating is this book i

he wanted a soft peace to reconstitute it japan and germany. by 1947, the third major problem was how to contain the soviet union. the third thing that attkisson never thought straight was the force deployed by anticolonial people movements in vietnam. also in many other places. it is card for people to recall the towering influence of third world leaders just 30 years ago and movements that assessed the u.s. most of the people thadid not believe that there would be problems. racial prejudice was sometimes involved in this. one crystal ball in 1945 would have been rather predictive of the constitution of the economy. they would have been flabbergasted if they were told that they would fight two major wars in south korea and vietnam. you would have a stalemate in one and lose the other. they did not pay attention to millions of people who were in colonies or trying to get out from under them. my analysis of september 11th can be a [inaudible] very briefly. we have grossly over estimate of the threat that came from that terrible act. i anders and

because they take the people from germany and east germany everybody has the same reference to the things here he exposed omnibus in the same way. and dealing with the the things that happen in the world that are not exactly in the same order of time. the most important was the hungarian uprising and the cuban missile crisis that came up much later. president kennedy was involved and then the assassination in dallas. it is interesting because i did not know something coming that we found out we were both hiding under the tables with the fear of the nuclear war because it was the solution at that time the students would be hiding under the table would solve anything. i think i did not like what was happening prague. not very friendly. it was dark. not as much fun greg up so with everything in our house , i was afraid my father with the fund a big trip but then i found in the use old shares for people who wanted to be my friend and this is a famous circus artist and a player. at that time nobody knew i would become an artist in my life. let's face it as an old person i could say, this chair

in germany, is "kussler." in the united states it is "kessler." it is generally "kessler."in europe it is "kussler." >> how many years have you spent with him in your life? >> we are talking 20 years. >> teaching where? >> i was teaching at cornell until 1994 and then i moved to columbia to teach nonfiction writing and translation which is my other hat that i wear. >> so, you are meeting with him. >> back in 1972, i founded a magazine called "index on censorship." it was about censorship in the arts and censorship of political books as well. i edited this for eight years until 1980 when i resigned to write my first biography which was of another man. i was a dinner at david's one evening and he invited arthur koestler to meet me and talk about passing this information on to people who knew that were writing in soviet occupied eastern europe and hungary. >> you said that he spent time in 14 different countries. >> is it 14? i had forgotten the number. >> give us a broad view of where it was. >> he grew up in hungary. his family was thrown out in 1919. they had reacted agains

in germany, is "kussler." it is a german name. in the united states it is "kessler." i am not sure if this is a result of american difficulty with foreign languages, although this country is absolutely crammed with people from every country of the world. or maybe it was just before he appeared here and tell people how to pronounce his name. it is generally "kessler." in europe it is "kussler." >> how many years have you spent with him in your life? >> we are talking 20 years. when i say 20 years, i spent that time teaching, so 20 years of vacations interspersed with sabbaticals. >> teaching where? >> i was teaching at cornell until 1994 and then i moved to columbia to teach nonfiction writing and translation which is my other hat that i wear. >> so, you are meeting with him. >> back in 1972, i founded a magazine called "index on censorship." as its name implies, it was about censorship in the arts and censorship of political books as well. i edited this for eight years until 1980 when i resigned to write my first biography which was of another man. souls and need sool

. >> host: east germany khrushchev east germany, is getting. so that made for an awkward relationship. and of course, stalin had cut off the road to berlin. at one point in 1948, and it was the famous berlin airlift. in 1958, khrushchev had made some menacing remarks about berlin and gave a six-month ultimatum about having some kind of treaty about the future of berlin. and the six months had passed, and nothing happened. and the soviet union and the three western powers were negotiating about it in geneva at the time. eisenhower hoped to break the stalemate, and he hope to do so by issuing this invitation to khrushchev to come to united states. the invitation was written out and delivered to a soviet official by an american state department official named murphy. murphy was instructed to tell his soviet counterpart that the invitation had strings attached, that any event that the talks in geneva resulted in a plan, and other words if they came to fruition, and then khrushchev would be invited to the united states. unfortunately, or perhaps for

is delighted in japan and over germany. one of the big debates in p.m. comes from the unitarian pastors. the p m cartoonists -- they were celebrating the annihilation of the german cities. one of the worst cartoons in the book was at the end, a blank page. the day after your a shima with caption so sorry, making fun of the japanese inability to pronounced those words but that was the mainstream opinion to the credit of its readers, a number of people did complain about the ruthlessness of the cartoons and these, without any mention of the real war crimes of the germans, no cartoons accept a very few addressed to the state department about the holocaust or the equal number or greater number of non jewish civilians massacred by the germans in poland and russia that we were talking before whether it was the fact that the jewish press did not want to make it look like a jewish floor and the leadership certainly, the american jewish committee were very careful in pressuring roosevelt's. they could have said christians are being massacred as well as many catho

but that was the link and in germany and particularly berlin you feel that. i write stories of the reunion of these people. but they pretty much feel that way anybody, not only old enough because they teach this in the schools, they feel about americans the way young wolfgang sanibel dittman leal ferguson came into his life. >> that's right. this was a city that was still starving in 1948, 49 and as you said 80% of the housing stock was gone, people were living in basements and so on so of rubble women were clearing things away, building things, it was quite remarkable. still in the 60's and 70's i have to say landing at tempelhof in the jets' use still sort of went like this, and i often think i'm being hypergolic but i'm not. you could look as you were landing over into those apartment buildings and see people in the kitchens preparing lunch or dinner so one can only imagine what it was like when the planes were coming in and then these bad conditions. >> one of the ironies of course when the plane stopped coming the airlift continued after may 12th because

the east germany is still only at 70% of the income level of west germany come east germany still hasassive unemployment it's not safe. i would not take my family to the eastern part of germany. i've only gotten to see a little bit myself, but not safe. for people who different, people who might be asian or middle eastern and appearance. it's not a safe place. berlin has relatively well integrated other parts of east germany are not. so even after 20 years it's an expensive ongoing process and i think it's going to take that much longer and be more expensive actually when it finally happens is north korea. and east germany only had a quarter of the population of west germany so it was relatively easier to absorb them. north korea has half the population. actually if you can show the next slide -- will give you just a few of the indicators that proportionally more north koreans then there were east germans. the east germany was at a much higher level of economic development. so basically the economically speaking the process of unification with north korea is going to be much more germ

the same is even truer of the breaching of the berlin wall and the subsequent unification of germany.all these things would have happened now insists years earlier, but decades earlier but for the perfectly correct assumption in east central europe busted the might of the soviet union and the soviets' military ary superpower ready to intervene with all means necessary to defend what it regarded, what the soviet union regarded as its legitimate gain from the second world war and its victory in the current war against nazi germany. the soviet invasion of hungary was a stark reminder for east and central europeans of the limitations on autonomy. poland was the least disciplined, but even in poland, solidarity was stopped in its tracks by the imposition of martial law in december 1981. the soviet, as we now know from the transcripts of the soviet bureau at that time, seriously considered military intervention in poland august 1980. by then they decided it would create more problems than it would resolve. i am sure they were correct in that assumption. there are already bogged down in afgh

bill: like the game came from germany it would have a german name. >> yeah.e how quickly i catch on. >> yes. bill: yes, always have been. crocodile tears? >> crocodile tears. fake, you know, emotion. romans and greeks were crocodiles that would be crying and dropping tears to attract more animals so they would eat them. bill: why would animals go to a crocodile? >> because they would feel sorry. bill: animals would feel sorry. what's the wrong with you and -- now, come on, the romans and the greeks were making this up. >> need to come up with something interesting. bill: i got it. >> faked. bill: like a fairy tale. >> it's a fairy tale. crocodile tears. where does beef come from? >> to beef used to mean to slaughter. then it meant to slice. >> i double dare you. and then since all the fights start out with some kind of a complaint. bill: now it means complaint. >> yes, exactly. bill: thanks for coming in as always. >> thanks for having me here. bill: what do jane arnaz, alf all have in common? they're best of bill: it's a fun program so far, right? now, we ha

and germany weren't good and the map stayed in germany, and staff of the library of congress can tell you better the blow by blow how the map ultimately came back here. i believe it started in the late '80s or early '90s and maybe somebody can help me out and there were long and i think complicated negotiations, that there was a member of the library of congress staff, margaret crousson, is that how you pronounce her name, instrumental in negotiating with the german government and the prince who owned the map and finally arrived at this price and i think in 2001 agreed and then, 2003 it was finally purchased. so... >> i'll intervene here, we are running out of time and i know toby is here also to sign for his book. first, just to clarify slightly, he's absolutely right on how it came here, but, perhaps a little bit more complicated but i want to indicate one thing and that is that the portfolio in which the item appeared is also here. in the library of congress. when we acquired the original 1507 map, the prince sold it to us separately. as if it would be out of the portfolio and so t

and germany were not that good and the map stayed in germany. and, the staff of the library of congress can tell you better the actual blow by blow of how the map ultimately came back here. i believe it started in the late '80s are the early '90s and maybe somebody can help me out. there were long complicated negotiations, a member of the library of congress that named margaret who was instrumental in negotiating the map. finally they arrived at a price and i think in 2001 they agreed and in 2003 it was finally purchase, so. >> we are running out of time and i note toby is here also to sign his book. first, just to clarify slightly, he is absolutely right on how came here, but perhaps a little bit more complicated but i do want to indicate one thing and that is that the portfolio in which the item appeared is also here in the library of congress. when we acquired the original 1507 map, the prince sold the to the separably as it would be out of the portfolio to so the whole world of cartographic scholarship was furious that this would take place

was working for the os us if they had the clever idea to have them draw cartoons to be dropped over germany newspaper. and that paper of course, appeal to the germans after the four it became the name of the leading east german paper. they continued without his illustrations unfortunately. [laughter] these pictures are here for the first time in american printed form as well as cartoons from al hirschfeld and other people that were known for classic yorker and political cartoons but yet they were all very committed. and they were editorial cartoons appearing on the editorial page and expressed editorial opinions and very often complemented what was being said and by others. but they also have a very clear political stance which i will talk about a little later. which was typical of the american left at the time both with the strengths and weaknesses. we will go into that with greater detail. but before i tell you more of the sidebar in journalism, paul would give you a little context of what "pm" was about and how would deferred from other papers at the time. >> "pm" was actually the perfec

it would blow up everything else he was working on, the unification of germany within nato, strategicarms control and gorbachev did not want to bring it up because of the new about the defector. he also realized talk of a biological weapons program on his watch would cause them to ask questions about new thinking on glass noss so there was a little bit of a conspiracy of silence but the soviet nation worry terribly about how it they were asked questions and this continued to envelop gorbachev and bring in his top advisers including four in mr. schevenoski. we will propose to exchange experts. on may 14th, 1990, the american and british ambassadors make a formal day march to the kremlin to anatoly it was gorbachev's national security advisor brent into the foreign minister of laying out the whole story, what we think you are doing. it is quite specific indictment in secret and they also told the soviet leadership we would not make it public. we have all these seven things going on. that got their attention in the very next day he wrote a letter to gorbachev about biological weapons. is

on germany. he grew up down in texas, got into the army air corps and was a protege of general arnold who was the founder of the modern, the u.s. air force during world war ii. then with the work on scientific, bringing science into the air force, the utilized science and saw that this weapon would guarantee the peace because if we had it, we could deter the russians from doing anything that would trigger a nuclear war. and then we ended up, he ended up creating a nuclear stalemate. he's referred to as the nuclear people as mutual assured destruction. in other words, neither side could get a surprise attack on the other because they would destroy themselves in the same process. >> in the book you talk about the resistance that the team had putting this together. can you talk a little bit about that resistance? >> sure. the -- because this is a book not about hardware, but about people. they had tremendous resistance from curtis lemay who was the head of the strategic air command, the great bomber

the guys in career or germany -- in korea or germany would not buy something that did not have a aaa rating. the ratings executive said if it had been tightened up, this whole thing would not have happened. right now, they are not being regulated. the relationship with the banks is still the same. the only thing that you see is that there are a couple of dozen suits around the country. >> go back to that tribeca film festival in new york city were you showed this three times and there was the discussions that broke out afterwards. were you in the audience? >> it started by people asking us questions. the house was basically full wall street people. pretty soon, someone else would jump up and say that it was your fault, not ours. it turned in miinto this mess. >> did anybody blame you? >> no, in a way, they were pleased how we laid the whole thing out. this was a foreigum where they could have their say. >> attitude how did you to divip responsibilities -- two/possibilities. >> who wrote the script? >> leslie. there is not much of a script to this film. it is just people talking. we h

germany does not even use government. it has a consortium of insurers to do their own bargaining and then they pass up, and reads to providers. to me, -- and then they pay out, and rates to providers -- and then they pay out common rates to providers. i should mention the safety valve. some can get supplemental coverage which is necessary for political stability although it takes away from the equity of some of the systems. there are some other event inches for this coordinating of buying. one is that providers do not have an incentive to choose one patient over another. right now, medicaid patients are not worth much so doctors to not want to treat them. that is not true under a system like this. also there is no opportunity to cost shift. everybody is paying the right amount for their patients. one player does not take the advantage of another pair. -- one pay youor does not take advantage of another payor. we rely on private insurers competition for medicare, it is not as effective as the va which does take advantage o

one of the biggest differences with germany is east and west germany never thought a war with each otherand they didn't have -- the kind of intensity feeling, the experience of the horrible suffering at the hands of each other. so, how do you see this play out in a unification scenario, do you think the generational change is significantly lessening that aspect or i would be interested in your thoughts. >> that's another really good question. when my wife was growing up, her parents taught her -- when she was five or 6-years-old she had to memorize her home address but it was in her address in seoul, it was her address and north korea because the assumption was in chaos broke out again and the family was separated, my in-laws they were literally dating they were separated and met by chance again in a refugee center and got married, but given that had been what had happened to them their assumption is that family would be separated. they would meet up again not in seoul but in [inaudible] you're right there's a generational quality and those people are literally dying but their children -

if the soviets -- germany has 900 troops on the soil at the time. that is more per square mile than anywhere else. there is potential for violence and chaos. it applies letters to the east german protesters. there is a venue by which this is happening. the federation seems to be viable. they believe it might be the idea behind the german nation. it seemed to be a viable alternative. the heroic model never rally crystallizes. it was harder to judge. you see similar sentiments throughout eastern europe and the soviet union. one thing that emerged clearly to me is that there is a real dichotomy between the people who cause the event in new because the event and those who gave the -- who caused the event and those who gave the reaction. that really happens to a small group of people. we have not talked as much about economic issues. they should be considered as well. if gorbachev had gotten his act together with european leaders who are pacifists and wanted the lesson of the cold war to be that central europe to be permanently demilitarized and become a

and my client was from germany. process stations about bush and demonstration policies were not in the end particularly sympathetic to our clients. and recognizing and then actually bought and very easily to the caricatures of detainees there. so we tried as much as possible to humanize him through personal stories and personal anecdotes and his mother in particular was quite heroic and putting a human face. and would like to think with the help of his german lawyer that sort of effect did some public opinion. although, i mentioned a story in my reading about to beard. and there's only so many stories you can do to get over caricature and presupposition and the sort of fundamental distortions of guantÁnamo. i mean come even the progressive german media with a were now convinced he is innocent, but we heard he proved this huge beard. that must mean he's crazy, right? he's lost his mind. so even if you went to normal, his mind is converted and ready to blow people up. there are limits because images conveners were pow

she's from germany. her daughter lives in georgia. grandma and grandpa been on vacation with the boy. this is at st. george island. the grandfather told police he returned from shopping monday, found grandma dripping wet and the boy halfway in the tub, his head underwater. how devastating. take your calls. 1-877-tell-hln is the number. >>> joining us to talk about this, wendy walsh, clinical psychologist. more of wendy's thoughts can be found at her website momlogic.com. and also mike lucich and the city editor for "the apalachicola times" covering this. david, what details do we have here? little camden you think on the vacation with grandma and grandpa and then things just take a tragic turn, right? >> yes. the father came home after a shopping trip in apalachicola. came back to the island and discovered his wife coming back from the beach soaking wet and she had -- she told him that she had killed the boy. he tried -- he ran to the nearby fire station and -- with her and ran in and said, she killed my grandson, arrest her, take her

if a couple of gay 'guins want to swap a little beak in germany, that is ok.ins are gay? do they wear tight t-shirt? how do you know? what is the barometer? >> there sex is very formal, the gaping when -- their sex is very formal, the gay penguin. they wear black and white. when they do have an egg, it is already pre colored. bill: if the penguin is gay, leave it alone. god made the penguin that way. >> ♪ that is doing the penguin ♪ bill: more of "miller time" isx >> here is dennis -- bill: here is dennis miller's take on the airplane controversy and pelosi. >> if they have a plan that can be cross country, i will take that plan. bill: air pelosi. that is interesting. >> the last -- the worst thing about lending pelosi in aircraft is it always comes back with an eye job on the cockpit where the shields are pulled up in and a disturbing arc. somebody thinks this empty headed manikin has to be guarded from people. it shows you how absolutely mad the world has gotten. the woman volunteers to go to summit because she thinks the gulf stream is rolling out the new

germany, 2 million, finland, 1.8 million, italy, 1.5 million. that is the initial aid relief going into the country. also, this is "the wall street journal" that we showed you and it has a graphic of the u.s.- military led relief as it is arriving. today they are expected to get another large aircraft carrier into the country. 14 helicopters and relief supplies, that is "the wall street journal" this morning. urbana, illinois, dave on the independent line. good morning. caller: i have been watching pretty closely the news event and some of the facts that i have heard is about 60% of haitians were unemployed before that, and about one out of town were receiving some sort of foreign aid. so i would like to see the united nations take the lead role. this will obviously take a long time to heal this country. i and just concern for u.s. orders at this point, including puerto rico. host: we found on the state department website yesterday that the unemployment rate in the formal sector is between 70% to 80% and 54% of patients live on less than $1 a da

again, the asl used the occasion of world war i, once the germans, once we declared war on germany and the germans were the biggest ethnic binary in the country, and also the worst, were pushed aside that led to the 18th -- the asl to propose the 18th amendment. >> some of the interesting think about the temperance movement itself, it was really an evangelical white protestants movement. this was a faith-based initiative to get the country to dry at. this was a part sbus in the 1890s known as the progressive era. this idea that society can be reformed. a lot of good stuff came out of this era. women got to vote. we got our food laws but we got income tax -- well, that's a good thing or not, we have to decide on her own. but we also had prohibition. that backfired orinda slid against the temperance movement itself. this wasn't a three decade long period where we thought we can actually have a socially pure society. this is for the benefit of all americans here. to clean things up. at the same time of course, because it was so protestant lead, it really violated a lot of rights of ethnic

do you know who nazi germany learned propaganda from? this man. this man in world war i.you read the words of gerbles, they learned propaganda from us. back to what she was saying or what the blog was saying. now sergeant has been tossed overboard, making him beck's second victim in his campaign to rid the administration of perceived radical socialist communist, fascist, anarchist and other manner of nefarious influences. boy, yeah, he hate to have those people do gone. they say they haven't done it. but this is art created with your tax dollars through the nea. healthcare for all. indoctrination and bribe. >> and bribes. the final pieces of the puzzle, glenn spelled out all week. they will try to silence you. if that doesn't work, they will try to turn the politics of destruction. glenn pointed out last night that candidate obama promised a new era of positive politics. but we have seen some nasty attacks under his administration. attacks on the left, from the left. and they even went after -- ready for this -- senator joe lieberman's wife when they did not like what the

be vulnerable to seizure or certainly attack from european powers, and in particular, in very old germanynder kaiser wilhelm the second, who was looking for his own place under the sun. and will certainly interested in the caribbean. he was also interested in some all in the pacific. and so that in large part was, i think, the reason for the platt amendment and the insistence in article six of the platt amendment that we would either buy or lease stations in cuba. over time, it became the winter headquarters for the u.s. fleet, as i said. it was in the darkest days of world war ii that guantanamo provided the greatest service to u.s., cuba and allied interests. in 1942, and for much of 1943, guantanamo serve as the caribbean hub of an interlocking convoy system that provided protection for allied ships, particularly ships, marine, merchant marine ships coming up from places like a rube that were carrying oil or other precious strategic supplies that we wanted to go either to new york or to halifax, to aid the allied cause. the sheltering of these merchant marine ships with a destroyer esc

and let's take the case of germany.germany's a system that sends far -- spends far less than we do. their medical outcomes appear to be better than ours and they don't have to wait for services. actually waiting time for services in germany is a little bit lower than the united states. other countries that i've talked about, france, also have excellent outcomes, so i don't think that you'll necessarily be sacking -- sack fiesing quality. a commonwealth fund has done a survey of six countries, a combination of surveying the population and surveying physicians in the countries. and they've ranked each of the countries in regard to six different elements. the u.s. comes in last altogether and comes in last in most of the six elements in terms of quality. canada interestingly came in fifth. it's the other european countries that it tend to do better. so there are examples of what i'm calling no monopoly power where it appears that they can pull it off with a system that still provides high quality care at a lower cost. >> j

germany has a consortium of insurers. that do their own bargaining and they pay, and rates to providers. to meet, the key is not to have one buyer as in canada, but if you have multiple buyers you want two things to be true -- you want payments to the coordinator between the insurance companies, and you want the insurance companies to be nonprofit. that is something we do not have in the united states and are likely to have. -- unlikely to have. other countries do allow people to buy supplemental coverage to give greater benefits. that is probably necessary for political stability, but it takes away from the equity of some of these systems. there are other advantages of this coordinated buying. the providers to not have an incentive to choose one patient over another. right now medicaid patients are not worth much, so doctors did not want to treat them. there is also no opportunity to cost shift. everybody is paying the right amount. one pair is not taking advantage of another paper. yer,. . we have one example in the uni

when the united states went to war in germany in 1917, the largest ethnic group in the country at thattime were germans and guess who also were their burgers? the germans. so, you had a whole ethnic group whose rights are basically pushed aside. suddenly there was this huge anti-german hysteria in the country and drinking beer, which is what most americans drink at that point suddenly looked literally on the asiatic area to the afl at that point. people thought we needed this year for the war and hence and went on to the states about people really even thinking about it very much. congress voted on a very quickly when i'm the states and all but two of the states ratified 18th amendment. the states were rhode island and connecticut. both states had very heavy catholic population, therefore, realize that prohibition was targeted at them because the temperance movement have a very strong nativist provident sentiments behind it. >> our next stop year is the striking brick church, calvary baptist church. >> the church itself was designed. starting the period of the civil war all the way to

this man was like nazis in germany. he had invented substances that were put in cigarettes the day and chocolate sold in the townships of the black people and so the black race would disappear. i have brought you here a small passport this document have to be owned by every black in south africa. this document with a photograph there and with the words telling everything about a man, where he was born, where he had worked, who were his parents, from what tried he was it even said where he had the right to be buried and it is to burn those documents like that that one some of the biggest rights to place during the 60 years of apartheid. but in the night and come in the nightmare of that time there were some flights and ellen lieberman was one of those lights. she was a speech therapist and one day in the hospital, the big hospital k-town, she had tried to help a little boy, a little black boy who had just been operated from the cliff paulette and she knew that this little boy would die if he did not receive and on tv all

. >> one reporter asked him what germany? >> i'm kind of looking forward to it.fore i came in the army, we were planning on tour europe. >> it was in germany that he would meet his future wife, priscilla. they married in '67, had a daughter, lisa marie one year later. booming. he met the president. won three grammies, had more top 40 hits than anyone and the former maid said he still kept his sense of humor thanks to practical jokes. >> in a few minutes the fire cracker went off in the bedroom. i jumped and i hooping and hollering. >> but in '77, it all ended. an icon dead at 42. two days later, the funeral procession through the streets of memphis and then the king returned home to graceland for the very last time. >>> an update on the mom from mity what has been missing for more than a month. the only person of interest in the case, her husband, is packing up and leaving town. susan powell disappeared december 7 under what police say were suspicious circumstances. now the cops say it looks like relatives are helping her husband, josh powell, prepare for a move

weather is also causing problems in europe, canceling or delaying it dozens of flights in france and germany. nobody was hurt when an airplane got stuck in the snow, but the airport was closed more than two hours. >>> to get a check on the weather conditions around the clock, just log onto wjla.com. go to the weather tab at the top of the home page. >>> two commercial airplanes were diverted last night. an air france flight was diverted to colorado's springs after a 40's -- authorities say a man locked himself in the bathroom and refused to turn to his seat. then a hawaiian flight had to land in los angeles after a man started harassing a woman. >>> authorities have found a man wanted in connection with the security breach at newark airport. he admitted he was the person seen in the security video walking past a checkpoint. the terminal was cleared, thousands of passengers were screened again, and flights were delayed. >> i never imagined he would do that. >> is facing charges of defiant trespassing and a $500 fine. he will not face federal charges. the transportation security administration

. >> bill: the bremer haven zoo in germany imported four female penguins from sweden who are supposedlyuse the bremin zoo wants to see if they can persuade them to go straight. what say you? >> hard to believe the germans aren't flexible about this, because over the years you know, they're an open tent over there. i don't know much about penguins, i'll say this, but if a couple of gay ones want to swap beak in germany, i could care less. >> bill: i can't figure out how they know the penguins are gay. how would you come to that conclusion, do they wear tight t-shirts. how do you know? i don't know. what's the barometer here. >> a couple of things, their sex is very formal, the gay penguins. >> there's a mysterious ritual that dates back thousands of years. >> they wear the black and white tuxedos. >> yes, and also when they do have an egg, it's already pre-colored which that sets off an alarm. >> if the penguin is gay, leave it alone. god made the penguin that way and who cares. >> when did you turn into such a reflective pya guy. >> bill: if you can stand it more, miller time is coming

like ireland, portugal, greece, spain, they have lost something like 30% of competitiveness against germany. what they have got to do is not regain the competitiveness against a country that does not believe in inflation. what it means is that you have actually got to get prices and wages falling by 30%, which is then going to complicate their fiscal problem. unfortunately, when you get to my stage -- the stage that i am in my career, you know, you have been to this movie a number of times and the last rendition of this movie i saw was the argentine convertibility plan, which everybody said would not fall apart. and when it did fall apart, you really have to get to follow. the inconsistencies are just so great. if you try to go the austerity route, you know, you try to tie it into your budget, you drive your economy down. if you drive your economy down, you lose your tax base. you cannot gain much by the tightening. i think this is a fool's errand. but the way in which it will pay out is that the ecb will continue kicking the can forward until they realize it is not just greece, but four or

your family in germany asked me to help you. i handed a handwritten note to help convince him that i was on his side. this was a considerable concern because in the three years since the only persons he had spoken to were his guards or his interrogators. the simple honesty and loving reassurance of her message still moves me. my dear son, you will be visited by an american lawyer whom you can trust. your brothers go to school and we have been for vacation in turkey. we were shopping with his wife and she is loving you. as i watched his pained expression while reading his first message from home, his first taste of humanity in three years, i felt as though i was delivering a crumb of bread to robinson caruso. i explained his mother and his german lawyer had been fighting for him. that guantanamo became an international embarrassment and millions of people in the united states were opposed to it. because he had been held in communicado for three years he had no idea that anyone knew of guantanamo's existence or his existence. i al

and during the vietnam point* they were in germany or somewhere else. they cannot break out the clinical data so they never complied with that part of the loss limit we have to wrap up. is there a question? >> has the panel looked at any of the of information of the implementation of that each and/or jack? >> >> the category of scientific research addressing the issue of scientific research and the comments is a few noted in my presentation i did highlight the need for continuing scientific research something the vietnamese currencies as necessary and to a certain extent you see some interest in that in the united states government. what is interesting the vietnamese population themselves present the opportunity to do the research that would establish causality between the links between certain medical conditions there is a potential wedding between the two to do with the population here in the united states and of the population of the vietnam. there is a third group and i would feel remiss which is vietnamese nationals relocate inside the united state

so whether it's in the netherlands, germany france, the main migrant community around which the debate take shape, is the muslim community. secondly, muslims to europe are actually working class migrants by and large. they went to work in textile mills, or to work menial jobs in berlin, service, cars, street cleaners in paris. where as in the united states the muslims arrived by large as middle-class to begin with. nor is it was a middle-class migration. that our pockets of, you know, war refugees came from somalia or the kurds or there was a wave of palestinians who went to work for ford motor factor in gm, etc., in michigan. but by and large, the muslim migration to the united states is already middle-class. whereas in europe the issue is whether the muslims in europe can achieve middle-class status. that issue of upward mobility is not a barrier to muslims in the united states. they are educated. their integrated into the economy. they are by and large well-to-do in many ways. they are indices for the wealth as a community, actually exceeds averages of many other ethnic groups in th

[applause] >> we apologize for the heat in here today. we are going to let him rest for a minute by sure he will take a few questions and answer so if anybody has a question we would ask that you would go to the microphone so it can be heard or if you have a loud enough waste that is okay and we will let it go with that and go about ten or 15 minutes and then he will be glad to sign books in the hallway where it's a bit cooler if you want to purchase his books they will be held there. any questions? >> on the last page of "the wall" you write we were like sheet until music from the free world mccracken the wall. for you and your friends it was music that put a crack in this wall. in other periods of history other forms of art seem to have a same affect when one thinks of literature with russia in the 1960's [inaudible] one could give many examples where it seems like the art, whether that be music or visual arts or literature it se
