these streets are all mixed up in greenwich village. (hoberman) appearances are deceptive. is deformed by the lighting patterns. it's the city late at night. chris gets involved in a violent scene that he can't really understand. and, in fact, it's quite violent. for the time, the idea that a woman would be lying on the ground while this guy is kicking her is fairly sadistic and is typical of more violence. along the sociological analysis, chris feels that to be masculine, first of all, you save women in distress; and, secondly, to be masculine, you also have a glamorous woman interested in you. we might also have been wondering, is she the noir femme fatale? is he hurt? i'll go call a policeman. no, wait! wait! she's kind of fetishized, wrapped up this transparent raincoat, which is both tawdry and glamorous at the same time, a beautiful, mysterious woman who is instantly duplicitous. where'd they go? in that direction. what does he look like? i don't know. i didn't see his face. he took $15. he didn't believe it was all i had, so he began pushing me around. then this gent

the pentagon makes the puritans of old america look like greenwich village and bohemians, but the scent of mcchrystal was in insubordination, but it was in discretion and fraternization. somebody in the military is not supposed to be buddy-buddy with an inferior, and he was, is a soldier's soldier. what you have not touched upon is really, or at least done so in passing, and very scantily, is the problem of corruption in governance in all levels in the middle east. proper security, and that involves the killers, the fanatic killers, the religious killers, the revenge killers, and the thug killers and how you deal with that. all it takes is one shirt to create havoc in a community. and in the third thing in the middle east, at least in afghanistan, our drugs and how you deal effectively with it. so all those things play a role. and then unfortunately in the military, it is reported term and who gets promoted. and that is sometimes less to do with ability but who likes you. >> so is there one question there? >> actually putting substance to the makings of david petraeus. >> those are all

we heard about a talented woman who was singing in greenwich village and i invited her to join us on year. she came on -- i remember this so well -- and she sang "a sleeping bee"from the house of flowers in a heartbreaking way. then she began to take yourself very seriously. difficult, temperamental, people were just beginning to realize how extraordinary she was. and now interesting to talk about. the first time she came on, she had on a granny dress down to hear and she had a bunch of keys. i asked with the keys were and she'd come up "oh, i sit around." [laughter] i have to go home to brooklyn after swinging at bon soir. in any case, our paths did not cross again for some time after that. and she was a glorious voice. i asked her if she wanted to come on "60 minutes." she was at the time publicizing "prince of tides" and she agreed. so i took her back to the unprepossessing walk up flat in manhattan that she lived in when i first met her and she had talked about her lover and i asked about the difficult relationship she had when she was growing up in brooklyn. let's take a look at

colleen is on the republican line from greenwich village, illinois. caller: hi. we knew about this about a month ago. my husband is a retired surgeon. it is my understanding that while tests are sometimes unnecessary, the doctors who persuade patients not to get these tests will be given half of what that procedure is worth. that sounds like. like. i also think there's going to be more lawsuits. could you address this? guest: well, i am not aware of any arrangement of this sort which you have described. and certainly to the best of my knowledge, the american board of internal medicine foundation and the consumer organizations involved and nine professional societies are not aware of those kinds of arrangements. again, our emphasis would be that we are not doing this to help insurance companies or the government. what we are doing this for is to help individual physicians and individual patients have better conversations about these tough issues. as i said earlier, there's no question that we are asking doctors to do things that might make them a bit uncomfortable

>> i was in dallas originally and then greenwich. >> so, we have been talking a lot today about somehe lessons that people have learned from richard rainwater. and i guess if you take a look at what you learned and how you apply it today what's the surest sense of something you really picked up that's stayed with you that whole time? >> i would say richard, you know, really practiced the contrarian opportunistic investment philosophy. with my partner and i that's what we developed at msd. so i think we try to mimic a lot of things that richard did. so that's what really stuck with me which is make your bets. understand them. and do the only things -- do the things that you think make the most sense and don't worry about the noise around you. >> how do you play contrarian today? we heard from the fed yesterday. we got the minutes. it looks like there is not more quantitative easing on the horizon. how does that change the environment? >> i think the environment -- look if you spend ten minutes on the economy you spend nine minutes too long. i actually agree with that. i think what i w

. >> understood. 9/11 happens, you're an outstanding wrestler in greenwich, connecticut and you say that'se seen the towers burn and i'm taking action. i join the navy seals. what did you see there that had you worried about the country? >> well, you know, like i said, the book is about america, freedom and the constitution and about defending it and overseas, we fought for things like that, you know, for the home front and now i'm here back in america and i want to fight for that still. >> what's wrong? what's wrong with this country that has you so concerned to write a book? >> well, there's a lot of things wrong that need to be fixed. first and foremost, i think we need to get our out of control spending under control. we have mindless bailouts for companies. right now, our government is also putting politics in front of we the people. so if they can start getting their act together as far as who the priority here rather than politics, that would be a great thing and the last thing is american exceptionalism is being destroyed. i mean, we're being indoctrinated to settle for mediocrity

as i said last hour, there are women in greenwich that decide to stay home and can afford to do that. women in northwest florida who decide to stay in trailer parks instead of affording a ranch house because they want to stay home and raise their children instead of going and making $18,000, $19,000. it's up and down the scale. >> yes. and we should respect it. just respect. >> let me bring you in, michael steele, and ask you this question as well. and by the way, i will say this about republicans, and i have defended republicans when their words have been retched from the context as well. but in case with hilary rosen, you have the president speaking out against what hilary rosen said. you have the first lady immediately speaking out against what hilary rosen said. you have david axelrod speaking out about what she said. you have jim muhsina speaking out. you have everybody in the white house speaking out against what hilary rosen said. everybody in the dnc speaking out against what hilary rosen said. i'm wondering why should this attach to barack obama and the white house? >> well,
