and for that time harvard maintained a committee over its lot of diversity. while it wasn't hiring any republicans. john mcginnis of northwestern put it this way even as the tory party or rather in sorry the anglican church in great britain has been described as the tory party of the pulpit for the legal and most good all schools can be described as the democratic party at the lectern. now, that has been changed and i mentioned it's been changed at harvard and indeed most schools that have any self-respect these days will house a libertarian or conservative of spoken law professor. they may hesitate to have more than one for fear that they will breed so things are changing. and this is not new, this ideological slant goes back a good long way, and if you wanted to you could trace it back to roscoe about a century ago who said that the law should be conceived as applied social engineering. isn't that a wonderful phrase, which means the law schools might think of themselves as schools of engineering. but it really began taking up momentum during and after the n

i went on to harvard college, the first in my family to go to college, to harvard law school. i've lived in chicago and boston and los angeles and new york, here in d.c., in atlanta, in the sudan. i've done business all over the world. i've had some remarkable experiences, improbable ones in the eyes of many. i've argued in the supreme court, i've hitchhiked from cairo to khartoum, i've counseled two prime ministers. i've served as the first black governor of massachusetts on my first time running for office. but as i reflect on each of these experiences, each has its roots in the lessons i try to write about in this book. these lessons have given me a sense of the possible, and that has made all the difference. i write in the book about the transition from the south side of chicago to milton academy, about the experience of trying to bridge these very different worldses where each one seemed to demand that you reject the other as the price of acceptance in the one. and how important it was for me to understand, ultimately, that that was a false choice. i write about the way t

how badly did you do at harvard? [laughs] i think i had-- i mean, i think it's true of a lot of people in journalism. i had in those days what we didn't know was attention deficit disorder. i did not focus well on schoolwork, but i was good at something called journalism. i was on the undergraduate newspaper. and i can now think back to the fifth and sixth grade, and if i had a teacher that did not connect with me, i can see my mind sort of flying out the window. but i didn't know that then. well, i assumed the great distinction because you were the editor of the harvard crimson, which meant you had some talents. and, i presume, given that education, even in the bottom third, you would have some choices in life. and then you decided that of all places on the planet to go to to begin your career, you would go to west point, mississippi. what were you thinking? well, west point was involuntary. there was a nieman fellow up there named tom karsell, who came from hodding carter's paper in greenville, mississippi. and you

harvard university has taken the lead on this one.c level and you can get into harvard, they're going to pay for you to go. isn't that what we want? don't we want schools who want children regardless of their circumstances? we know that they can do it for athletes, why can't they do it for great students? harvard is showing it it can be done. >> but you need a huge endowment to be able to do that. >> one would argue that, but somehow these schools find a way to put a basketball player in the school for free. they could put a good student in the school for free. it would seem to me that it benefits the school to have good students in their school regardless of how much money their parents have the opportunity to make. >> principal perry, thanks. >> thank you. >>> we'll be right back. this past year alone there was a 93% increase in cyber attacks. in financial transactions... on devices... in social interactions... and applications in the cloud. some companies are worried. some, not so much. thanks to a network that secures it all and k

. >> now your book, "common sense: a political history" is published by harvard. why? >> well, that's a good question. harvard does wonderful books that i think straddled the realm between the academic and the trade, really trying to reach a broader audience with intelligence series books and marketing them as such. and it's hoped many of the publications will so that particular space in which they can be read by university audiences, whether it's students or the faculty, but also ideally make censored dance in public discourse, which a readership is interested in ideas and politics at harvard was going to situate this book cannot space and i hope that's what will happen. >> what is your background? where we raced? >> okay, so i was born in new york city. i grew up right outside new york and new jersey in a town called leonie m. and grew up with parents who are in the arts. my father is a cellist, now retired. and i went to the university of princeton in graduate school at harvard and ended up about 14 or 15 years ago here in charlottesville, where he had been teaching

he doesn't like harvard. he becomes the profit theboard of trustees, and the original plan is to steal williams college. williams college is having a lot of problems. they had $3,000 coming from the endowment and $4,000 of expenses. so they're in trouble. and williams protects himself. ends up -- it founds the first alumni association. so it can send off webster and the people in amherst. but they steal the williams president, this fellow moore, and a quarter of the students, and webster presides over the induction of the president in 1821, and he is very proud of this achievement. and this is a phrase from his memoir, and it's written in the third person, and that's not common with webster. think of the education of henry adams, classic 19th century memoir. you think it's about somebody else but it's henry adam that writes it. and this is house webster writes about himself. the principle event which took place -- he didn't like his first name, noah, -- resided in amherst in which he was concerneds a an actor

i mean, he was going to harvard, he was one of the youngest to graduate harvard university with a phd he later became the superintendent of schools of boston, and i was in and out reformatory schools, so my father had to sort of choose between which one he's going to support, and i confronted my brother because when i came home from the military in 1956i heard that my brother was hanging out homosexuals and the children growing up when we were children all of these folks used to dress up on halloween like women and they looked better than the women on the streets, you know, some of you is on vacation from harvard university and they were doing the same thing. so i confronted my brother about that. and we start to fight and of course i beat him up and that is when my father got involved in this, and my father jumped because of that. and i pushed my father away and told him don't put his hands on me and i would allow no one to put their hands on me in ander anymore. and so my father ran and got his shotgun and i ran and got my shotgun. this is the same thing that happened to marvin gaye

there's that huge archive that paul and julia child left to harvard. other families also provided me with letters and diaries. and then i did an enormous amount of research in the military library, and repositories. where i found all the telegrams and intelligence report that they filed, many of julia's memos, jane foster's reports, all of their superiors reports about them. and so i could really tell you where they were and what they were doing much of the time they were abroad. and then they all state such close friends come and they kept exchanging letters throughout the '50s. so even after the war i was able to keep up with them, and they were very frank in these letters. they are very moving about their fear of losing their jobs and what's happening to their friends. so you can really get a feeling for the time. >> the teleframe was very vague, and, in fact, they even thought in the beginning perhaps he was going to be offered a promotion. and when he got there, nobody would talk to him or tell him what he was doing there, and it finally became cl

he went to harvard law school, practiced for three years and decided i don't know enough. my education is not sufficient. i want to know more. i want to learn more. i'm going to go to paris. so he borrowed $3,000 from friends, closed up his office, and he went over. attending lectures, and all classes. >> in french? >> in french. everything was in french. he organized taughtors, and in about a month he was -- taughtors, and in about a month he was able to do it. the undaunted courage was inspiring. he attended the lectures, and he kept a journal. the journal is fabulous. it is four volumes. in the journal he writes about what he is listening to, who he is meeting, what he is learning and so forth. there is one entry where the speaker is sort of tedious, and he found himself looking around the lecture hall, mind wandering, and he noticed that the other students, and there were nearly 1,000 people in this lecture hall. that the other students treated the black students who were there just as though they were like everybody else, dressed the same, acted the same. >> what year

how about harvard. steve perry tells us who qualifies. >> i have to admit, when i first saw an e-mail that said that harvard was offering up a no-parental contribution for students whose families made under $60,000, i thought it was an urban myth. what's the likelihood of finding a student whose family makes under $60,000 who is going to post the scores and the gpas that harvard has? >> we have about 18% of the freshmen class this year who fits that category. we want to make sure that people can come regardless of their financial circumstances. >> reporter: alyssa mackey is one of those students. >> i was actually applying to schools and my father passed away. that dramatically changed our financial situation. so that's why i'm in need of the assistance. when i applied, i didn't know about the financial aid initiative. i remember my mom opening the letter and thinking that there was a mistake because it said family contribution zero. >> there are many college presidents struggling with how to attract st
