not graham greene's. if you are courting a woman and say to her, "you look just like your mother," she would slam the door on you. but if you say "just like virginia woolf," even if that person is less beautiful than a mother, she will be thrilled. we want to attach ourselves to something great. we are who we are. essentially, you cannot run away from your show. that is what the book is about. tavis: should do father have been offended, in salted, or belittled by this affair you are having with graham greene? >> every father has to tolerate a son rebelling against him. but the sun will always come back in the end. my father died 16 years ago. at that time, he might have been wistful that i spent so much time on the other side of the world. if you read this book, he would see the more the years go on, the more i come back to him. in this book, i was in a little house in india. i happened to meet an old friend of my father's. this man said, "i remember when your father was 14 years old, he was in love with

you never met graham green. >> right. >> rose: and this is not so much... you tell me. this is so much what? >> it's a mystery. i could give you lots of reasons and lots of things that we have in common but i don't think the things we have in common would explain it. i grew up in oxford, the same street next to which he lived. i went to classic english boarding schools he went through. because of those classic english boarding schools i'd never been good at settling down and i've found my way to saigon, havana, paraguay. and i've always been interested in the complexity as he famously was. and yet i think the power of affinity lies outside. you walk into a room, see a stranger and somehow you feel as if you know her better than the people you came to. >> rose: you feel that way about graham greene. >> i do and i feel he knows me better than my friends and family do somehow. >> rose: because of what he writes? >> that's right. and because of some shared patterns in our behavior. >> rose: the shared patterns having to do with the trail that you just described. >> partly s

this is obviously graham greene. >> yes. >> rose: this is your father and this is you? >> that's right. in oxford in probably 1959. >> rose: congratulations. thank you for coming. >> thank you, it's been a delight. captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org captioning sponsored by rose communications

. >> i would credit strobe with the unquiet american, and, and with a bow to graham greene because wed slip the green title in his head. yes? >> will you kill passionate will you tell the trampling story? it would be fun. and also, do you think mr. holbrooke could have anyway have interest in turning his perspective to the economics problems that's going on and his effect on diplomacy? in he was totally un-arrested in the whole business. >> he would be glad there were other people who are more interested than he. [laughter] >> there was, as i said earlier, there was nothing that he was not interested in, and that covers economics, but i think strobe is correct. richard, richard was a humanist. his brand of diplomacy was unique because, because he believed that diplomacy had to be based one human being at a time. he was not a bureaucrat and, therefore, economics was really beyond, beyond his range of passion. but i think that, you know, even since richard passed away, the world has changed so much that, you know, the unraveling of the world financial sector has happened so quickly. and

graham, hateful cracker. they've taken hate to a new level. who hates dr. seuss? green eggs and ham not my favorite book but the hate towards dr. seuss is ridiculous. and it's insane that lou dobbs is blaming the lorax and his mission on president obama. how is he responsible when at the time that book was written he was a ten-year-old kid swinging off a monkey bars. he had nothing to do with that book. >> keep one story together. if it doesn't fit the timeline do not come and tell me that he wasn't born in this country but he influenced a book that was written nine years before his birth. and this reference to occu-toddlers. this is a gave away. a desperate attempt to stand at the ocean and not just push the tide back but not ever see the tide. it's the future they're fearing. >> he doesn't under what occupy stand for. they don't understand what occupy is trying to do is ensure a future to these kids that you're trying to disenfranchise. if they occupy anything, it should be a corner because rick santorum is right. satan is in america and he's wearing a sweater vest. >

to be on "fox and friends" on monday and this morning in the green room i got to meet two great young guys, musician, singer, andy grahamers trevor baine, the youngest daytona 500 winner. >> kimberly: i want you to play for us on "the five." >> eric: back to grammys last night. huge fan. listen to how he is talks when he is accepts an award. listen you hear it. >> my life changed when i wrote this song. it felt it before nip heard it. i just felt it. thank you. ♪ could have had it all ♪ rolling in the deep >> eric: what happened to that accent? >> dana: a lot of famous singers from the u.k. have that ability. to lose their heavy accents when they are singing. >> bob: she is probably to from newark and is making up the -- >> dana: sting is the same way. >> bob: mine is more serious on this. i looked at the "newsweek" cover last week about the war on christianity in muslim countries. i got curious about it for a lot of reasons. one is the united states, we try for the most part to try to give muslims the right to practice religion and stay out of arms way. but the christians are not only not allowed to par tisnate religion,
