um -- this is from forest hamer who is a bay area poet who wrote berkeley late spring. this is berkeley late fall. i have been browsing the peet ree section had come to lose the unconcern but persistant rain that followed me in as a trail of damp shoe prints and dripping conscientious hacompanied to a solitude. i ran my right index if anything are across each spine flesh going along volume and groove. imagine the book seller anding by to fold and flatten we down to on an oblong shape and reshelf me into an americay sandwich between the t's and v's stacked up along the unexpected and unknown. i notice that the pe ems i imagine crowding around you were the unquieted the unrequited. distant citizens far from the disposition of the safety of s's the determinant d's and resultant r's where the poems are make believe. unlike the bumpy organic one i find myself wandering into. this one is about the moon. mabel and maureen. the moon regrets it's father's avd vise, take the night shift.

dean hamer: almost 50% of people try to stop every year but simply aren't able to do so. we've been very interested in whether or not there is a genetic basis for why some people find it easy to stop smoking, and other people find it very difficult. if we could find that, we might be even able to develop new therapies or new drugs which would help the most recalcitrant people to quit their smoking addiction. we have actually found two genes that seem to be involved. one is involved in dopamine metabolism. it's the gene for the dopamine transporter. it's a very interesting finding because one of the new drugs for smoking cessation affects this same transporter. that's a drug called zyban, and it affects dopamine metabolism in the brain. the other gene that we found involved is the serotonin transporter gene which is involved in personality traits like depression and impulsitivity and anxiety. people with those traits find it hard to give up smoking because they use the cigarette to self-medicate. karen miotto: because it's such a difficult addiction to recover from or to b

dean hamer: some people think that it's all a matter of metabolism, that some people have a slow metabolism and that makes them fat. well it turns out that the same genes that control metabolism also control appetite-- these are genes coding for hormones and receptors that are released in response to how much a person eats and how fat their cells are, in essence. it turns out the same hormones and receptors control how hungry you are. so when people eat a big meal, the hormone is produced. the hormone tells the body, "burn off the fat and use it as fuel," and it also tells the brain, "you're full, stop eating." if a person has a problem or different variety of these hormone and receptor genes, then their body doesn't burn off the fat so well and they want to continue eating. so often people will say, "well, he has a metabolic problem, but she doesn't have enough willpower." actually both of those are at least, in part, affected by a person's genes. one theory is that these genes are leftover survival mechanisms from thousands of years ago, when humans lived from one meal to the next-- or on

you know, he sold out fanny lou hamer and the mississippi freedom democratic party and kept them from being creeded by selling them out to the democrats in atlantic city. that was martin luther king, our great courageous leader had nonetheless done that, silence and rusted others in his movement because they were too hot, so i just think it's so important, not only humanizing him in his personal safe but that he was an imperfect leader and still exceptional. >> i think we don't think about the latter part of kick's life very much. we don't talk about the post-victory king. >> absolutely. >> it was only a few years because his life was cut short, but he was struggling with this problem of what -- what are the demands, which is something we hear about right now, economic justice, what does that actually look like and then more specifically to maintain the sort of -- his sort of centrality to the movement and non-violence as centrality to the movement and this sort of extremely religiously grounded vision of christian brotherhood and sisterhood. >> i just like to make a point. i was very
