i am a student here at harvard.ecific question about -- i would like to get your thoughts on zimbabwe. your predecessor said that he regretted not toppling mgabe. do you share the same regrets about not toppling mgabe? what are your thoughts on this? do you think it this time, for the sake of progress, that sanctions are removed? >> it is a tragedy. i think the people who look at the zimbabwe see this tragedy of a country that is potentially the richest country and most prosperous country in africa. it is laid low by massive unemployment, by the crane -- grain basket of that part of africa and not being able to produce what it needs. last year, several people suffered from cholera from the failure of health care and sanitation policies in that country. what can you do about something that is completely abhorrent to us? they entered into a power- sharing agreement. the issue in africa is not whether britain or america can take unilateral action in relation to the zimbabwe regime. the countries surrounding zimbabwe, w

could say, you have to give us proof that you're not guilty, and this president who has come from harvard law school and. >> paul: due process being part of it. >> due process, one of the essentials and you could have imagined what could have happened if the republicans had said anything like this, they would have had meetings led by moveon.org at the mall. president obama would have gone forth speaking golden cadences about our best selves and americans and you know what, he's he's done beginning

. >> that was harvard and 1990. >> no, utah. harvard confirmed it. i confirmed it with mri and other tests and evaluations and it was confirmed. since then, i mean, for the first couple months, it was probably the -- like a lot of us that get this news it was the most devastating -- >> there are five different types of news. >> there is benign, remitting relapse, progressing remitting relapse -- there's progressing and now no longer spoken of, a fifth category, it is being redefined and put into three, we're starting to find more people fall into the remitting relapsing category so that's a broader category than we've thought about. >> tell me what you do in stockholm, you visit there in connection with ms. >> i've been traveling the world trying to make sure i can glean as much information as i can to make available through a website on my own, i go to stockholm, sweden to see specialists there because they have a different way of imaging the brain with an michigan there that can take a look at the plaques and scars on our brain and if they get it d

he stole your idea when you are back at harvard but you sued him and he settled and you will not tellthe amount but he settled for somewhere around $65 million. you got the money. what to you want now? >>guest: essentially when we entered into an agreement in 2008 part of our consideration was equity and the other side, facebook, they value the equity at one price but internally they valued it totally different than ours and, therefore, we are challenging the enforceability of the agreement. >>trace: but credit counties say, -- critics saying you struck a deal for $65 million. is it, what do you amount, what is amount of want? $100 million? , $1 billion? or is it principle, where you want zuckerberg to say, yes, it was their idea. >>guest: it is principle-based marry. we entered into an agreement and they failed to upkeep their side of the bargain and that is why we are challenging it. naturally, we are looking for recognition for our contribution. in our mind there is in question that mark stuckberg would not be where he is today if we had not approached him and met and dealt with hi

you had this rich, famous, arrogant, harvard professor -- to say arrogant harvard professor is a redundancy. tired, cranky, coming home, his door won't open, jimmies his way into his house, and he feels a certain status about himself, and a certain sense of himself. here you have this working class white police officer, a sergeant who -- a police officer in cambridge, mass, probably makes a good living but doesn't make the living henry louis gates, jr. does, and doesn't wine and dine with presidents and he wasn't on his way back from china, having filmed his latest pbs special. you know. it was a different thing. so, you have this clash, and what happens? well, skip gates, the powerful person in this encounter, nonetheless goes off, and goes immediately to, you know, you're harassing me because i'm a black man. and acts like an arrogant harvard professor but goes over the top, and officer crowley is being given lip by this uppity black guy who has the nerve to dress him down, and the result is, of those two examples of bad behavior, skip is handcuffed and taken off to jail. i thought that w

six harvard and three yale. i'm proud to have gone to harvard law school, but it's just ridiculous. how can you have a court like that in the united states? >> i'm a little disappointed that we only have the three. >> it's not right. they're very heavily centered toward the east coast and they come from a very narrow band of lawyers. we used to have supreme court justices who were governors, attorneys general, a kind of bureaucratized judiciary who come up very much through the very highly credentialed ranks without the judicial world or the world of real people so we don't have diversity of the kind we had a century ago. >> in 1954, brown vs. board, eight of the nine justices had never been justices before, that was the first time that all nine justices were federals appeals justices. i'm not saying eight of the nine should be, but there should be senators like hugo black, people who have broader experience. >> if the best we can say is that elena kagan hasn't been a judge, although nominated to the d.c. circuit, she basically might as well have been because she very much lives in

by the way, i think it was harvard university -- or is it b.u.?vard university said the real debt, liability, is $200 trillion. all of the money on earth is about $50 trillion. at the end of last month, feds announced $30 billion bailout of the credit union system. don't worry about it, it said. it'll all backed up by $50 billion in trouble assets inherted from failed institutions. so we're bank iing that the troubled assets that caused the other institutions to fail, are somehow or another going to save these troubled assets. does that make any sense to you? the dollar is continuing its slow decline. slow decline. every time i hear that i think of spooky dude george soros saying the dollar needs managed decline. really? does it? oil is currently at $84 a barrel. it held fairly steady there while gas prices are declining. why is there demand for oil when we have record reserves of gasoline that no one is buying? did you know that we have record reserves of gasoline? we are in a slowdown now. are you going on all the trips that you would like to? w

there's a legend that ben franklin applied to harvard and was rejected.e did. founded in 1740, it was called the academy of philadelphia. later it was renamed the university of pennsylvania. today, penn has more than 23,000 students on campuses that sprawl over hundreds of acres. its wharton business school is world famous. and while there are many other excellent colleges around the country, for some only the ivy league will do. >> applications are at an all-time high. and only a fraction of those students will be accepted. >> but the more challenging it is, the more attractive a school becomes, and that's one of the reasons the ivies are more popular today. >> reporter: dean stetson adds that students and their parents shouldn't obsess on the ivies. they should broaden their options to find the college that best meets their individual needs. >> there are plenty of other options out there. >> reporter: the man who became famous for his experiments with electricity would probably be shocked to see how his little college has grown into one of the country's

after that, gordon brown speaks at harvard university. . >> he would have been the fiercest in the drives. the people who knew washington best and did so by that same personality, someone but was much more personality. we tend to think of washington as a bland but were the character. he was anything but. there was a tremendous will. he was tremendous in his personality under this very reserved facade. >> you say in your preludin to this book that you want a fresh portrait. after all that has been read, how did to do a fresh portrait? >> hamilton had washington in the revolutionary war. hamilton wrote a series of very perceptive letters about washington. i can remember being absolutely startled. i read so much about washington. these were significant things that were overlooked by previous biographers. the more that i read about washington, he was a man of many moods and many passions. because it was covered by this intense self control, people did not see it. what we have done in the very understandable and laudable desire to generate washington, we have the rough edges of the personality

you know, it's interesting just this past week i noticed harvard came out with a study where they've studied 200 instances, countries around the world of fiscal policy and without a doubt, the best way to stimulate growth was to cut spending and cut taxes. so, look, i'm willing to get on whatever side of the equation is going to work, but it-- from harvard, not exactly a bastion of conservativism they've found that exactly the policies that the right wants to do. cut down on governments, cut taxes and we'll help stimulate the economy and this, this administration's going exactly the wrong way and going to increase our deficit. >> richard, what do you think? >> well, a lesson from 1937 is that exactly what gathry is saying what brought us not out of a depression, but back into an even worse one so i think the lesson in the u.s., no, actually we have a hole, the private sector is not filling and spending is the answer. that said, if you want it look at some of the bills you ticked off. arms control, not a spending bill. stopping epa in its tracks from issuing greenhouse gas regulations
