in hamlet with daniel day-lewis all i could think of was corral brown as gertrude in the one -- who is sublimely wonderful so i thought i would copy her and copy her when it comes to corral brown, but you learn absolutely -- i mean, in the -- when i went to the vick, the opinion was run by john neville, and he taught me all i ever learned about behavior in a company, and actually how, you know, so that you don't come to a rehearsal unprepared, so that you do, do that amount of homework. >> rose: you say he taught me all that i learned. >> all that i learned about being in a company and part of a company flew part of it was don't come unprepared. >> don't come unprepared. >> rose: what else? >> don't come unprepared. always be on time. don't mess about. and there is a certain amount of homework you have to do. don't come and use the time to do your bit of homework, that you have not done the night before and take up everybody else's time. >> rose: ah. so it is an insult to them if you not prepared. >> it is just consideration that other people are doing a job as well. >> rose: who el

to discuss the ad-rating project, we will hear first from john geer who is the gertrude conaway vanderbiltfessor of political science at vanderbilt university. john is the author of five books and over 20 articles on elections and presidential politics. his most recent book is "in defense of negativity: attack ads in presidential campaigns," published by the university of chicago press, and it won the goldsmith book prize from harvard university. so john will make a short presentation about the ad-rating project, and then we will hear from some of our other experts. john? >> okay. thank you, darrell. given that this is about political ads, let's start with a political ad. and some of -- this ad is probably one that a lot of you have seen already. >> i'm barack obama, and i approved this message. ♪ o beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain. ♪ for purple mountains majesty, above the fruited plain. ♪ america, america, god shed his grace on thee. ♪ and crown thy good with brotherhood -- >> okay. so when an ad like that comes out, let me just start here, um, it came out about ten
