it's cut and dried, it seems that grandma did this. where do you go with this and where do you go as far as prosecution? >> you've got statements from the woman, but it doesn't end there. the cops have to continue to do an investigation. they have to do an you aautopsy on the body. so all the steps, so nothing comes up to be a surprise at the trial. what's so frustrating about cases like this, it's senseless. it's not like preventing something like a burglary or preventing robberies. this is something almost unpreventable and really comes down to psychological issues sometimes not seen in a person until someone does snap and tragedies happen like this. >> wendy, let's get back to that when we talk about motive here and the divorce, that she couldn't stand it, to think that her grandson would grow up in a divorced home. >> well, it's my understanding that her daughter, who is the mother of this child, had been divorced from the father for three years, since 2006. so it's not a new, sudden event. and that's why it's confusing to me to ha

trips to grandma's, day trips to the beach, most of our members were positive. and as we started talking to americans, we came to realize how powerful nostalgia is in reinforcing incidence of positive ideas around the automobile. at the on the museums they understand. we went to a few. at one we met a gentleman named dave, who was there for his saturday morning drive in his beloved ford mustang. and he was wearing a watkins glen jacket over his car print shirt, and we asked it, we said, when did you become interested in cars? and he said, when i open my eyes and realized i was born. [laughter] >> and in many ways, that's true for all of us. and my sister, the anthropologist, likes to put it that to humans, coulter is like water is to fish. because it surrounds us. is often quite invisible, even though we are in it. and the ideology that supports our car culture is something that is largely invisible to us, and that we started to explore fairly early in our research. the images that bombard us daily from the media are quite different than those family snapshots.
