he first ran for public office upon graduating from harvard law school at the age of 23. he has never lost an election. [applause] [laughter] he was elected to the u.s. senate in 1998 where he worked side by side nator moynihan. he has been and is an advocate for moynihan station, and he will report, i am sure, on today's groundbreaking which was made possible with federal stimulus funding that senator schumer helped direct towards this project. and we are all so grateful to you, senator schumer, for this. and one quick aside, i also ife, iris, who i think is here. she is a wonderful friend of the museum, and now i would like to ask senator schumer to come and just give him the biggest round of applause. [applause] for moynihan station. >> well, thank you. thank you, susan, and thank you for the great job you do as directer of the museum. i want to thank my fellow panelists. to have such a distinguished group of panelists and such a distinguished audience is one of so many tributes one can give to senator moynihan and thank them all for being here. i want to particularly

i audited his government class when i was a freshman at harvard. i would have wanted to take it, they didn't allow freshman to take it, and then he was whisked off in the winter of 1968 and went to the white house. once i entered congress, i remember as a young congressman i got a call from senator moynihan. and he said, why don't you come over to my office later, his hideaway. i didn't know my way around congress, let alone washington, and there he was inviting me for a chat. i went over, we talked, he asked me what i thought of the house, gave me the first of many tutorials on congress and the many subjects that would be before us about legislation, about history, and that continued every couple of months for my entire 18 years in the house. every few months i'd get a call, i'd head over, and over a glass of wine i'd learn a whole bunch of new, different things. in 1997 it was in one of those tutorials that senator moynihan urged me to run for the senate, not for governor. which i was thinking of doing. [laughter] his encouragement was very impor

. >> well, we came up with an idea for a web site called harvard connection. we connect to you. and mark zuckerberg stole that idea. >> i understand. i was asking what you want me to do about it. >> the wtwins portrayed in "the social network" which came out on dvd tuesday. they were on the very same day asking for more money from facebook. howard mintz was there, too. he is covering the federal court for the san sho"san jose mercur" and debra gauge and maggie shields with bbc. so, i thought these guys had this worked out with facebook where they got some money, not a small amount, and they could go away. what happened? >> they don't want to go away. they did set this will case years ago for what at the time was valued $65 million, $20 million in cash and $45 million in stock. that stock obviously today is worth more and may be worth more down the line. so, i mean, their own lawyer has estimated this at over $100 million now. they want to undo the deal. they feel they were led in negotiations about the stock valuation and it's a comp collated -- you know, it's not hollywood stuf

classic american dream story, won a scholarship to harvard. on his way home to see his mother, he was detained and threatened with deportation. well, fortunately, that deportation order has been put on hold, and it seemings as though -- seems as though he'll get legal status. but granting legal status to children like him should be our normal policy, not a lucky exception for those who happen to get the support of a powerful community. in fact, there is a proposal before congress. it's called the dream act, that would do just that. and i must say i'm bewildered as to why anybody would oppose that. now, the principle that irregular status becomes irrelevant over time is clearest for those with young children, but i think it applies to adults as well, especially when they have close family connections to citizens or residents. take another case, the case of miguel sanchez. in this case i've changed some of the identifying details. so miguel sanchez could not earn enough to pay the bills in his hometown. he tried for several years to obtain a vis

he has been a brilliant student at harvard college and harvard law school. he was a clerk for judge henry friendly in new york, often a steppingstone to prominence. he clerked for the associate justice william rehnquist. he had been assistant attorney general. he had been associate counsel to be present. he had been the deputy solicitor general to the united states and represented the united states to the simple -- to the supreme court. he was a partner in a law forum where -- a law firm where he was thought to be the best constitutional lawyer in the country. was it inevitable to the young student that he would reach those lofty heights? or was it so clear for the college student, like many canisius students, spent his summers working in a steel mill? or was it something about his college years that brought him to distinction? we know some things about his college life that are instructive. he was a liberal arts major, essentially a history major. his pay -- his paper on daniel webster won a prize for undergraduate excellence in english composition at harva

early in his career he thought all he had to do was to say i was the first black president of harvard law review and get anything he wanted and up to a certain point* that was the case. that is how he got his job, but contract thomas support to run for the state senate. and running for congress push that as far as he could. and then working on his colleagues and working with people he considered intellectual interiors and having a student who was very gifted is to your benefit to be the smartest% in the room but never to your benefit to say i am the smartest person here. [laughter] but regarding jesse jackson i don't think there is a big place on the public stage and unfortunately the times have passed and i don't think it had to play itself out that way and it is even worse to me around to read it. so to be in that enviable position, one of the things that happened in 2008 is he blew his big opportunity to become the king maker hoping it is not too disrespectful reminding me of the 38 year-old boxer who has since the future of bay trainer trying to get a title shot. a and i think tha

collision of the competing views of the role of government is the gift for a very popular course at harvard taught by michael sandel, a professor and political philosopher. >> the main purpose of a tax system is to raise revenue for the common good, for the public good. that's its purpose. but it has to do so in a way that is fair, that involves shared sacrifice, because really it's a matter of sharing the burdens of a free society and a good society. that's, morally speaking, what taxes are about. so unless a tax system meets the test of fairness, none of its other advantages really matter. >> for peter wehner, a former deputy assistant to president george w. bush, the issue is freedom. >> this country was founded on liberty. it wasn't founded on income equality. and there is a certain view, which i subscribe to, which says that people ought to be able to keep much or most of what they earn, and to have the government in the business of taking it and deciding how it, the government, will spend it rather than youas an individual, i think is flawed, and i think it's contrary to much of the a

jerry avorn of harvard medical school is one of the nation's leading authorities on pharmaceuticals. he says that eckard's story is an extraordinary look at what can happen when there aren't enough investigators to follow up on the federal inspections. >> avorn: the fact that there were so many different kinds of problems, and that there were even other issues about diabetes drugs and antidepressants on the same line getting allegedly mixed together, the sterility issues. it speaks of a really pretty chaotic, out-of-control manufacturing process. this was not, apparently, one isolated incident. it just looks like nobody was minding the store at this plant. >> pelley: what do you say to someone who says, "well, the drug manufacturing process is very complicated, very hard to do. there are bound to be mistakes." >> avorn: just because something is complicated doesn't mean it's okay to get it wrong. we don't accept that of our brain surgeons or of our airlines, or of other complicated things in society. the reason we pay so much for drugs, more than any other country, is that we expect

but we do have a harvard economist to back us up. david cutler, professor of applied economics at harvard, released a study on january 7, finding that repealing the health care law would destroy 250,000 -- can you yield 15 seconds? mr. mcgovern: i yield the gentlelady 15 seconds. ms. moore: would grow 250,000 jobs annuallymark of them are women's jobs, x-ray techs, nurses, and even the cleaning person wo who cleans up the emergency room. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from california. mr. dreier: at thistime i'm happy to yield one minute to my good friend from north carolina, many mchenry. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for on minute. many mchenry: last night, house republicans took a major step in our pledge to america by passing a repeal of obamacare. now we must work to replace this budget-busting law with sensible, market-placed policies that lower costs for families and small businesses and expand access to affordable ce. small businesses are the job creators that

he likes people to know he went to harvard. early in his career he saw all he had to do was say i was the first black president of the harvard law review any would get anything he wanted. up to a certain point that was the case. that is how he got his book contract. that is how he got support to the senate. when he ran for congress he reached a point that he went as far as he could and had to start working with his colleagues and people he considered his intellectual inferiors to get something done. >> i had a student who was very gifted and said to her it is always to your benefit to be the smartest person in the room. never to your benefit to sam the smartest person here. regarding jesse jackson, i don't think there is a big place for him on the public stage anymore. unfortunately in some particular way is the times have passed him by. it is very bad -- -- one of the things that happened in 2008 was he blew his big opportunity to become a kingmaker. this analogy that hope is not too disrespectful, in the last decade he remind

this was at harvard.i think we did a poll, the harvard student body, it was like 91% for mcgovern, 5% for cleaver, black panther, and 3% for nixon and i was one of that, that lucky three, 4%. >> host: that's a wise move.

harvard like so many universities was founded as a seminary. have to answer questions about islam and the koran. it almost appears when you send your children to school and interact with national borders and folks along the coast more and more often it feels like we are talking at each other. we don't have the same common experiences and vocabulary. i am a proud son of the south. one of those poor souls clinging to guns and religion in louisiana. [applause] the example from the book a want to share with you. chapter 16 is called its the culture, stupid. we have a very famous political consultant in louisiana. james carville. he did a blurb for the book. he came up with is the economy, stupid. america is great but america is not great just because of our economic system. i am a strong believer in the free market system. i have written for the wall street journal and spoken at the heritage foundation. free-market is better than any alternative in the world. america is not great simply because of our government. i have a strong believer in democra

as it turns out it was in education far beyond that one may have been obtained at harvard. for the first time to see the mom and pop stores the little machine shops and perhaps learn to do visualize the financial structure that would transforms them into the building blocks of the economy. a year and a half later marcus goldman had accrued over $100,000 of capital turning out over 30 million per year and was so overloaded with work and please with the performance, he offered to let him by a partnership for $25,000. for then the business was known as goldman sachs and over 50 years all members were part of the interbreed family is. assets were tied up in a firm providing working capital as well as savings. marcus also agreed he could withdraw money from the firm without making a formal petition to the senior partners and all needed to be an agreement before making investments on behalf of the firm. so we remained until goldman went public 100 years later and totally changed its face. when henry joined the firm he was named a junior partner rising to the position of the senio

actually, the harvard study found the exact opposite. in fact, i will read the quote from the author of that study, the leadoff. some critics have suggested that the malpractice system is inundated with groundless lawsuits and that whether a plaintiff recovers money is like a random lottery, virtually unrelated to whether the claim has merit. these findings, the harvard school of public health findings, casts doubt on that view by showing that most malpractice claims involve inrythlaitror and sou riarfa relio idhait. there is a lot of extensive research done on that study and the headline of harvard press release was study casts doubt on claims that medical malpractice system is plagued by frivolous lawsuits. >> you didn't -- the gentlewoman's time has expired. thank you, miss doroshow. we will recognize the gentleman from virginia, mr. forbes, for his questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank all of our witnesses. i truly believe all three of you are here to do what you think is in the best interest of our patients and of t

>> guest: daniel bell was there and is alive and well at america's professor at harvard. one of his closest friend of man named martin diamond who died much younger in the late 70s that really was one of the key people in revitalizing the study the founding fathers. he would be happy to be light today and see the constitution cited everywhere. it was such a loan enterprise when he did it. my father had a piece in this book and i was flipping through the 1987 celebrating the constitution. that was 23 years ahead of its time but there were many famous people went on to be famous intellectuals. people want to be famous in other ways. another famous sociologist and i think it was a very good education. i think it is true today of college. most of the education and much of the education came from fellow students and of course from the faculty buddy went through that and meanwhile my mother was a brooklyn college but they were opposed trust the eyes of at a trotskyite meeting and that was a good effective trotskyism that put my parents together. as a personal stake in saying it

he was invited to join goldman sachs. 10 years have passed since his father marcus dropped out of harvard due to his failing eyesight and hired his sister louisa's husband sam sacks as his assistant. marcus' father a schoolmaster had been friends since their school days in germany and this was the second marriage which had taken place between sons and daughters of the two families. henry had undoubtedly anticipated if anyone were to be offered the job, it would be he. hurt and disappointed he decided to accept an offer to join a firm as a salesman. as it turned out the experience provides him with an education far beyond what he might have attained at harvard. for the first time since he was a traveling salesman, he was able to see the mom-and-pop stores, the small-town banks, the little machine shops that that.the countryside and perhaps even visualize a financial structure that would transform them into the building blocks of the economy. a year and a half later, marcus goldman had virtually accrued over $100,000 in capital and was turning over 30 million a year. he was so overloaded wi

ten years had passed since his father, marcus, had shunted him aside after he dropped out of harvard due to failing eyesight and hired his sister's husband as his father. marcus' father was the second marriage which had taken place between sons and daughters of the two families. henry had undoubtedly anticipated that if anyone were to be offered the job, it would be he. hurt and disappointed, he decided to accept an offer to join a soft good firm as a salesman. as it turned out, the experience provided him with an education far beyond what he might have attained at harvard. for the first time, since he was a traveling salesman, he was able to see the mom and pop tores, the small town banks and perhaps even then to visualize a financial structure that would transform them into the building blocks of the economy. a year and a half later marcus goldman had personally accrued over $100,000 in the capital and was turning over 30 million a year. he was so overloaded with work and so leaded with sam's performance -- pleased with sam's performance that he offered to let him buy a partnership

europe, he certainly had spent time on the eastern seaboard, lived in new york, went to school in harvardnt hunting in maine. but seeing the badlands and capturing what some people call the closing of the frontier or the end of a certain era out here, it gave him a taste of what it was like at the battle of little bighorn, or what it would have been like, while he was out here, to have sitting bull still alive at a reservation not far away, and to have buffalo herds, the last indigenous ones still roaming freely. he improved as a horse rider. he became a better shot out here. but more importantly, he started building his physical stamina up and his strength. so he used to say, roosevelt, that without north dakota, i wouldn't have been president. what he really was saying was without those experiences in self-reliance, he wouldn't have had the fortitude to go forward and put together the rough riders, which was made up of great plains cowboys and harvard dandies, in some ways, or intellectuals. and that rough riders then became what his famous calling card was-- colonel roosevelt. ♪ ♪ (nar

when i got out of the harvard business school, it was not a popular thing to be in 1953.ked in the states for a while, and i came to montreal. what i found in montreal was that there were several graduates over the last two or three years before me who had gone around to mcgill and said, "look, this is important stuff. your commerce department just isn't doing it". [bob laughs] - entrepreneurs. yeah. - and their answer was, "well, graduates of our commerce department go to work for the government, or they're cas". that's a different ballgame. so they got the junior board of trade, which is no longer around, i don't think. - no, i don't think so either. - they sponsored these guys, and they went down to harvard, and harvard gave them--free--all the cases that they wanted to take to teach at night--not for a degree, just for knowledge. and john dobson was one of those people. - ah. - and he had been in it awhile before i was, but we ended up in this thing. there was no mba given in canada in those days. - incredible, eh? given the fashion now. - and now it's overrated. i me

i asked then president larry summers at harvard. we were talking about diversity, and you look at it in different ways. i said, you know, we were having a conversation with jessi ventura, a editor from the "washington post," and it's an interesting group. [laughter] they add milt in a survey they voted for a democratic candidate. college faculty is a decisively more liberal tilt. i asked, why is it at harvard? where are the conservatives? they are not here on your campus like the rest of the country. he said, well, the reason that is, he says, you know, evangelical christians don't send their children to harvard, and he said, that's good for them, and it's probably good for us. now, a couple things. i think he was being honest, not ugly, but i think he was trying to be honest in what others may think and just don't say. i'm not here to criticize larry summers. he was honest. he said, a percentage of the student population, they are not what you expect in the rest of the country. i did think it was interesting. if he said that about

[applause] it's my pleasure to introduce kwame anthony appiah. the philosophy of mind and language, african and african-american intellectual history and political philosophy. appiah as a thinker and a writer is as urbane and as warm, as reflective and as accessible, as challenging and as generous as he is as a friend. a premier scholar of contemporary philosophical thought, his work crosses disciplines as it crosses national boundaries and celebrates human rights, ethnic and cultural pluralism, individual identity, intellectual liberty and a sublime mode of cosmopolitanism. let me review just a few of appiah's earlier accomplishments before talking for a moment about his new book with, "the honor code: how moral revolutions happen." educated in ghana and england where we met some 37 years ago at claire college, appiah quickly rose to prominence as a philosopher at the intersection of the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. he is now the lawrence s. rockefeller universi

a second job acceptance was to harvard. if things had switched, he might've gone to harvard, never invented the computer. because he is walking -- when he had the computer ideas in his mind he was walking across the campus. he ran into a guy he knew from the engineering school. he said, say, do you have a graduate student over there who could help me? and the guy said oh, yeah, i know just the one. and it was an engineering student from north of things, glad brooke, who had spent his a child childhood fixing radios in his dad greater shot. so that's the thing that eventually got me so interested in this whole story. because there were so many things that happened that could have gone another way. one of the most interesting ones, where the stores i talk about and it is the story of colossus, which was british code breaking computer during the second world war. and engineer on colossus was a man named thomas flowers, and in september, late august, early september 1939 he happened to be in germany doing some research. and the

"world on fire," the idea for this came when? when did you -- you talked about writing the articles. when did you know you had a book, and this was -- doubleday bought this? >> i actually never imagined that it would be this kind of book. i started off just as an academic, writing academic articles about the relationship between market reforms, democratic refarms and ethnic conflict. so i produced three bar review articles and then i thought i would perhaps put it together, and many people suggested that i do so, so i put together a proposal originally for oxford university press, and, you know, it had -- the proposal was 3,000 pages long and had 2,000 footnotes, and through a series of coincidences, a friend suggested that perhaps i should have an agent look at it, and i have a great agent, and they sugges

[applause] david halberstam is, as i know all of you probably know, was a graduate of harvard in 1955 and managing editor of the crimson. but he was also a significant figure in american journalism in a different kind of sense. he was really the beginning of a new kind of american journalism. highly educated, idealistic, committed in a kind of social way to being a journalist in order to use journalism to make this a better place. it is not time. there was idealism in many cases. he was someone who really looked at journalism as a profession that was suitable to a man who went to harvard. that was very unusual in his time. david halberstam graduated in 1955. he went to the smallest daily newspaper in mississippi to began his journalism career covering civil rights. he then went to the national tenn

harvard like so many of our universities was founded as a seminary, first so many years ago. ever regret it from harvard has to be a labor, but how can one consider oneself educated in today's world without understanding the basics of the western civilization? thank you got in oxford i have to answer questions about islami and mohammad and the koran and it's amazing to me that when you send your children to school, when you go and the internet with national quarters and folks along the coast were and are often it almost feels like we are talking past each other so we don't have the same common experiences and vocabulary. i'm sure to tell you i am a proud some of the south, doctrinaire conservative. i guess i'm one of those poor souls pointing guns and religion in louisiana. [applause] the it simply want to share with you this is chapter 16 of the book. it's called it's the culture, stupid, and we have a very famous political consultant out of louisiana. [laughter] he did a blurb for the book but he said he came up with the the great thing in the economy, stupid, and i'm here

that obama speaks less harvard when he's at these rallies. what he really is doing is using the style of the black preacher. anybody who's ever been to a black church, a church where there are black preachers as i as a baptist spent my life and still spend it or think black church on sunday, you're used to that style. what the black preacher does, he uses rhetoric combined with substance. and the way it's done is you start very low. the preacher starts out with you can barely hear what he's saying. it's usually a he. you can't hear what the preacher is saying, but there's a text, and there's substance. and then it gets a little louder and a little louder and a little louder. and finally the message is reinforced and delivered, and there's a crescendo. and by then the congregation is all excited. and involved. and then what happens is that it does what we call, we call that rising high, striking fire which is what he does then as martin luther king sang, free at last, free at last, good god almighty, free at last. and then he sits down. and by

actually, the harvard study found the exact opposite. in fact, i will read the quote from the author of that study, the leadoff. some critics have suggested that the malpractice system is inundated with groundless lawsuits and that whether a plaintiff recovers money is like a random lottery, virtually unrelated to whether the claim has merit. these findings, the harvard school of public health findings, casts doubt on that view by showing that most malpractice claims involve medical error and serious injury, and that the claims with merit are far more likely to be paid than claims without merit. there is a lot of extensive search done on that study and the headline of harvard press release was study casts doubt on claims that medical malpractice system is plagued by frivolous lawsuits. >> you didn't -- the gentlewoman's time has expired. thank you, miss doroshow. we will recognize the gentleman from virginia, mr. forbes, for his questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank all of our witnesses. i truly believe all three of you

but we do have a harvard economist to back us up. david cutler, professor of applied economics at harvard, released a study on january 7, finding that repealing the health care law would destroy 250,000 -- can you yield 15 seconds? mr. mcgovern: i yield the gentlelady 15 seconds. ms. moore: would grow 250,000 jobs annuallymark of them are women's jobs, x-ray techs, nurses, and even the cleaning person wo who cleans up the emergency room. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentleman from california. mr. dreier: at thistime i'm happy to yield one minute to my good friend from north carolina, many mchenry. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. many mchenry: last night, house republicans took a major step in our pledge to america by passing a repeal of obamacare. now we must work to replace this budget-busting law with sensible, market-placed policies that lower costs for families and small businesses and expand access to affordable care. small businesses are the job creators t

he was one of 6 people with a nonmedical degree to participate in a harvard study in science. george has been in business for close to 40 years. he developed this anger management program to help people get along with themselves and secondly, to get along with each other. the one thing he believes and practices, our emotions are the characteristics that unite us all. the one thing we share in common are feelings and emotions. this is the one area we fail so badly as educators, counselors and therapists. one of the commonalities as an educator and as a counselor is, i was, 10 years ago. i was working with native american students, i am from the midwest and i moved out here 6 years ago. prior to that, however, i was, the counseling department for a native american therapeutic school. we had 260 students grades 4 through 8. 75 percent were on special education ie p's. 90 percent were already enrolled in the juvenile system and in the drug and alcohol programs. later on, i would show up and be a counselor at the betty ford center with attorneys and other professionals. the one com

this was at harvard. "it wasn't just harvard. so there's a real export of personnel, of young students who want to learn. >> rose: there are a lot more chinese students studying in the united states than there are americans studying in china. >> that's right. and i think that's changing. they're going to go back to china-- but these students are going to go back to china. they're going to have a different view of things. i think things will change in china. my only concern, it makes you very defensive when people are coming in who really don't understand your culture and really haven't been to china often, preaching to them. and i really theep these dialogues-- this dialogue between c.e.o.s of companies and c.e.o.s to china builds a bridge that we can get a lot more done dna. >> rose: are you saying to me, the trips you took to china, many of them were not about making a deal. most of them were about building a relationship so there could be a possibility? >> well, charlie, you've known me for a long time. i can multitask. >> ros

i also want to say a special thank you to my classmates, to fritz donovan and the harvard class of 1959, several of whose members are here today and make me feel very much at home. as i was listening to brian speak about this book, i found myself questioning, wondering what they're really it is an antiwar book. it's called "reasons to kill: why americans choose war." and i don't think i would have written it if i didn't believe that the united states had become involved in too many unjust and unnecessary wars. but on the other hand, the question that i'm asking, why do americans choose war goes in a way beyond the question of which wars to you like and which wars did you not like. it goes to the question of how we become convinced that a war is worth fighting or not. because one of the things one finds for a quickly when doing research on a subject like this is the ubiquity, the strength, the power of anti-war movements in the united states with the exception of world war ii there's never been a major war in america that hasn't generated a substantial anti-war movement. and because of t

here's professor robert merton of harvard.it's always a privilege to be speaking with a nobel laureate in economics--there aren't many of you around. and even rarer still is a nobel laureate in economics who's entrepreneurial. and i notice that, as an entrepreneur, you have just bravely weighted into an area of the economy that scares a lot of people. and by that, i mean the anticipated decline in retirement funds, public and private. those funds might go broke, quite frankly. nobody wants to talk about the problem, but it's there. so how do you define it? - the funding of retirement is a perennial problem. it's one that we had to deal with 200 years ago and we'll have to deal with it 200 years from now. it's true in japan or brazil, as well as the united states, canada and europe. and if you want a metaphor for how that has been provided, they often use the notion of a 3-legged stool, which you know is stable. one leg is government, typically what we often think of as social security, the 2nd leg is employer-provided benefits
