harvard. >> it is a very northern story.hen you think about the colonial world, until the american revolution, there's actually only one college in the south, william and mary. there are a couple of other attempts, but they failed. the other eight colleges are all northern schools. in they're actually located key sites of the merchant economy where the slave traders had come to power and rose as this sort of financial and intellectual backers of the new culture of the colonies. >> talk about harvard. >> from its very beginning in 1636, the college by 1638 actually has an enslaved man living on campus who is referred to as the more. 2 is directly related to slave trades. i imagine how he gets to cambridge. one is right after the war in which the purists defeat the and dean's for southern -- the indians for southern connecticut, the captive are sold to the west. the ship returns with enslaved africans. it is right after that moment he appears on campus and becomes part of the sort of legend of early harvard. >> for the end of

he went to harvard. he came down to washington, started with the national taxpayers union, went back to harvard to finish his ha--his mba, really just to satisfy his father. he grew up in a very, very tony suburb of boston, beautiful area, where i--as i point out in the book, it's the kind of regulation that grover hates--zoning and everything. actually, it's a lot of very nice suburbs with--without the trash you usually see with suburbs. it's a lot of strict zoning, two-acre plots. c-span: did you go there? >> guest: yeah, i went there. i went to his parents' home and it's beautiful. c-span: what did his parents think when you showed up? >> guest: well, i had made an appointment with them beforehand. c-span: but i mean--but what did they think of the idea of talking about their--their son? >> guest: they were--they were very happy to talk about their son and themselves. they were shy, though. there's a shyness and discomfort with people that i think we also see with grover. grover norquist is very good

universities -- harvard, yale, princeton, brown, williams, the university of north carolina to name just a few -- are drenched in sweat, and sometimes the blood, as africans brought here as slaves. the book is called, "ebony & ivy: race, slavery and the troubled history of america's universities." m.i.t. american history professor craig wilder reveals how the slave economy and higher education grew up together. that "the american campus to it as a silent monument to slavery." welcome to democracy now! talk about america's most elite universities. what relation do they have to slavery? >> i think there are multiple relationships. the first and probably most provocative is the relationship to the slave trade itself. in the middle of the 18th century, from 1746 to 1759,

as some of you know i am a lawyer, a law professor at harvard. i went to law school and graduated 20 years ago and i went to law school with a number of people doing interesting things in life like barack obama. and like most of my classmates i spend the next couple decades working to get something accomplished, and i don't know, round 2006 i was a tenured professor at harvard and i had this book, trying to write a book about civil rights lawyers and what i did was something that people at my stage in their career don't usually do. i sat down and i thought for a while, about a year, thinking how did i want to write the book? i began to think who was i writing it for? who was my audience? who did i admire? whose riding styles really, really and for all of me? one that i admired was the person you're heard just now, taylor branch. what were my objectives for the boat? i paused from this tread mills but i was on and i began to ask all of these questions you are not supposed to ask of yourself at this stage in your career but this is one of the thing

now, for some people, that is harvard.but does that mean in general that you find there is a surprising degree of success that comes out of people who have been big fish in small ponds? >> yeah, so there's some really fascinating research that looks at the publication rates of economics ph.d.s within seven years after they attend -- they get their ph.d. and what you find is that the very, very top students at harvard, yale, m.i.t., chicago economics, they publish enormous amounts of papers, superstars. but it drops off quickly. in other words, even the 70 -- the kid in the 75th percentile isn't publishing that much post-graduation. why? they've had their confidence shaken in grad school. they look around and they see this cohort of people who are clearly more able than they are. by contrast, the top students at relatively mediocre schools publish a huge amount in the tom journals after getting their ph.d. in other words, their experience of being at a school where they were top of the hill was so profound and so empowering

i think what we're doing is raising awareness what dana and harvard food lock clinic did in their report was greatly. others like nick and the hundreds of organizations that are recovering this food are all doing good work and it will help raise the issue. but at the end of the day, it's up to each of us to make a dent in this. doug. >> dug the idoug the fallacy of this, the project you're doing to bring food into nood waste lands, what are you doing? >> my years in the food industry, watching the perfectly good foodstuff that was wholesome or healthy, because of a cosmetic imperfection getting tossed out and it was very difficult getting that food recovered. it's getting a little easier but it's still difficult. we have so much food going into the landfill, the number one source of the stuff in the landfill. people who are insecure or hungry if you would why don't we use one problem to help solve the problem for the other. go down, collect this food, bring it into a retail setting, you could cook it up, if it's produce offer it with pennys on the dollar where it could compete with junk

he's an instructor at harvard, incredibly liberal. as i describe him, he's just to the right of marx. and he later goes on to become the leader of the labor party during world war ii in england. and holmes views him almost as a son. holmes had no children. and the two of them just hit it off even though they were so diametrically opposed in so many ways in terms of age and religion and political beliefs. they, you know, holmes really admired laske'ser you decision, he's an incredibly brilliant young man with this irrepressible personality, so laske has an incredible influence on holmes. felix frankfurter is another influence, he later sits on the supreme court in holmes' seat. and he has an important influence on holmes. the editors of the new republic magazine which at that time was literally new. it had been founded in 1914, so it was the new republic. not the old new republic that we know now. and they were close to holmes. holmes generally didn't read the newspapers, but he read the new republic. and all of these men gathered, the

not so says harvard university's nile ferguson. in a recent column citing forecasts from the nonpartisan congressional budget office, the cbo, last month, the cbo published its 2013 long-term budget outlook, forecasting u.s. debt 25 years from now and beyond. like climate change projections, the cbo uses models, based on current trends and likely future scenarios to forecast the national debt. by 2038, 25 years from now, the debt may rise 73% of gross domestic product today to as much as 190% of gdp, says the cbo. unlike climate change, which has failed to heat up for the past 15 years, the federal debt outlook has worsened substantially since last year's cbo report. if you think rising sea levels are bad, get a load of this. as debt rises, so will the percentage of the federal budget that goes to pay interest. from 8% today to 40% in 2072. even under the cbo's optimistic growth scenario. >>> does that send nervous chills up and down your spine? >> it certainly does, but if you read the cbo report, you'll realize, and all the cbo r
