miss kagan was a great dean at harvard. she is expert on constitutional law, highly intelligent and has a fine sense of humor. neither or testimony nor her professional record have given you reasons to believe that she would protect the second amendment rights of the american people. thank you. >> thank you. our last witness is william olson. he's the principle of the law firm of william j. olson, pc. he received his jd from the university of richmond and his ba from brown university. mr. olson? >> thank you, senator schumer and senator sessions and senator hatch. our law firm represents one of the nation's leading second amendment groups, gun owners of america. we have filed amicus briefs and supreme court cases such as heller and mcdonald. despite the court's decisions in heller and mcdonald, americans understand that the right to keep and bear arms continues to be in jeopardy. both victories were achieved by narrow 5-4 votes. and miss kagan is not a person who could be expected to defend the second amendment. early in he

she was the first twom be dean of harvard law school. something that i think will serve her well on the supreme court. democrats and republicans given good testimony on the preem court of the united states sochl the real test that i think all of us would like to know is whether she as associate justice will follow legal precedents giving due deference to congress, and protecting the rights of americans against abuses of power. i think that's how most of us define judicial restraint. she will be in the mainstream of american values. affects all of us. we are all impacted by the decisions made pi these nine justices. and recently we have seen a trend where the narrowest of margins the so-called conservative justices being in the majority have legislated from the bench. it was in those cases that i did my questioning when i had an opportunity to talk -- to ask questions during the confirmation hearings. . reversing prior holdings. i think it's going be healthy for the american people to have more women on the supreme court of the united sta

harvard also learned of her. and a very well no one fill per heard about here. they connected the dots we decide we would create twinning relationships almost neighborhood sister neighborhood as opposed to sister city relationship with broodmoore and see if we could help. we do all the relationships with citied around the world but we don't help our neighbors down the road. it's really been a remarkable experience for guys like ed lee our cao, for daniel and others who have gone to broodmoore and felt the remarkable connection. and have felt a great sense of responsibility to help out. in the spirit of that, we ask latoya cantrell to come here and talk about her struggle, her challenges and her resolve. because i think what she represents is the best of what so many of you represent. and for the grace of god every one of us could be put in the same position as latoya but how many would have the courage to become latoya? and actually step up and not give up. and so that's why we thought we couldn't get a better speaker today for a neighborhood empowerment necessa

. >> yeah, and one thing which i really want to emphasize, we have so many harvard law people on the supreme court we put so much emphasis on educational credential. here was a guy who went to college after law school. he couldn't go to college out of high school. he finally as a politician wanted to learn the law, became a lawyer and then wanted to get the college degree. it is a reminder of the power of order didact. he taught himself history, wrote the book on senate history. his lectures, speakers were filled or lectures on history. we place some of emphasis on credentials these days but the power of a lifelong -- is far greater than somebody who has a harvard yale or university chicago degree. >> populism rears its pretty head. >> woodruff: we have two pretty heads right now and we hate to say good-bye, but thank you. mark shields and david brooks. >> she was talking about judy and me. >> brown: and as judy said, the memorial service was held today for senator robert byrd in his home state of west virginia. hundreds of people, from the elite to the everyday, gathered at the stat

harvard did a study showing that professional women were leaving the work place in greater numbers than those joining. they were hitting that crunch moment of children as opposed to careers. you can take that power, go into your boss and say i do not want a big bonus. what i actually needed more time. >> you say that women are in demand. there is a supply, demand think. the smarter the company is, the more women than what on staff. you mentioned that pepperdine, all of these people did the study is can they find out that they bring the value, assets, shareholder equity -- all of these things to the company. why do women approach things, or how do they approach things differently in the workplace than men do? that is one of the reasons they want to have them on board. >> this is a tricky issue. it gets that something that a lot of women have fought against for 30 or 40 years, our forbearers were struggling to say that we are not different. now, i think there is a recognition that men and women have different management styles. women are collaborators. we look for solutions. we are less d

beer diplomacy began brewing last summer, after a confrontation between a harvard professor and a cambridgeatened to boil over into a racial controversy. the president intervened, hosting what was quickly dubbed the beer summit. the idea, sheer a cold one to show no hard feelings. last june, the usa/england showdown at the world cup, prompted a bet over, what else? beer. the president and the prime minister each promising to drink an ale of the other's choosing. the game was a draw. so, as a compromise, the two swapped beers. >> yes, i did enjoy drinking the 3-1-2 beer cold. >> reporter: it is no surprise that beer was front and center in our relations with britain. back when george washington was president, it played a starring role in our fight for indianapolis. washington's new york office, is right here at the bull's head tavern. in 1853, he stopped by for a porter on his way to watch the british troops play. the first president had his own beer recipe. thomas jefferson petitioned congress to grant a brewer american citizenship, in hopes beer became more popular. and fdr mayo his presid

here's tonight's commentator, justin fox, editorial director at the "harvard business review." >> the dodd-frank wall street reform and consumer protection act that president obama signed into law last week is 848 pages long. that's shorter than some earlier versions of the legislation, but mainly just because this time they used really small type. the new law is a monument to the bloated ways of modern washington. in 1933, congress transformed wall street with the 37-page glass-steagall act. today's lawmakers went on for 23 times as long to achieve what is likely to be a far less dramatic result. so, when a skeptic asked me the other day to name one good thing in the new law, i initially threw up my hands. then i reconsidered. sure, the dodd-frank act is flawed, but so was the state of affairs that preceded it. and there are at least three aspects of the law that could make things better. first, the bureau of consumer financial protection. it's a watered-down version of the agency originally proposed by the obama administration, and its certainly not going to put an end to financial

he has a degree from harvard and works at google. what we can say for sure is mike cassidy is one of the winningest entrepreneurs in the valley creating and selling companies. i first met mike about ten years ago. he was already a millionaire but working in an office with just one other employee and a dumpy office at that. our photographer lit it with red lights to make it look more interesting than it really was. mike was at the time working on a program he called xfire that helped friends find each other in the growing world of online gaming. >> there are over 90 million people in the world today playing games online. >> he and his partners sold xfire to mtv networks for $110 million. it was his third million dollar deal. he sold his first company for $13 million. his second, a search engine, sold for a half billion dollars to ask.com and xfire 110 million. even his dad told him to quit working but to that he added a stint as a venture capitalist and then started up another company called ruba that enables every day internet users

fred, a lot of people don't realize is a magna kum ladder graduate from harvard university. he went through one of the most painful nasty divorces in his life. while he was out cruising the love beau hehe was in the middle of a terrible divorce. i think his advice is very wise. >> your book is complete with all kinds of detail on all aspects of divorce to the lawyers to the judges. while you have a very strong judgment against adultery, and you have very strong judgment on -- favorably of course, you examount -- exalt love and the love of marriage, you nevertheless give advice to those who might want to take alternate views. you say do not use credit or debit cards to pay for affairs or use cameras with your paramours. phone records tell a story. use a land line or pay phone. the grass is almost never green on the other side. the passion of sex always changes over time. what is exciting with your lover will eventually become quote, unquote the same old thing. if you commit adultery assume you will be caught and be prepared to accept the consequences. you say it is impossible
