helen johnson didn't have enough money to buy a dozen eggs to feed her five children and grandchildrenare toddlers. she took just three eggs out of a carton and planned to buy them but a store worker thought she was stealing and called police. when she explained what happened to officer william stacy he felt she didn't need to be arrested, she needed real help. so he bought her the dozen eggs and sent her on her way. but someone as you can tell because filming it all and after several people saw the video well the food donations for helen started pouring in. >> she started crying. she said i just need help. i need help officer stacy. i need to put food in my baby's symptom max. that's what got to me. that's what hit me the hardest. >> oh, my god. thank you. you're so sweet. i just thank you sir. >> helen's family has been signed up for a holiday toy drive. >> such a touching story. >>> at the big board big talkers and another touching story. if you could talk to yourself from 20 years ago, what would you say? what would your hopes and dreams and how are they different now? well, thanks

and helen is his very nervous wife and they have two children and those two children are buffie, the eldest, and adlai. the problem here is that because the parents don't get along, helen, adlai's mother, insists on, really, to some extent, suffocating her young son with affection. i mean, there are other mothers who go to college with their sons. i guess we can remember macarthur and franklin delano roosevelt, but helen davis stevenson went off to princeton when her son adlai matriculated and she would stay there several blocks away and try to tend to him and take care of him. c-span: what was the impact on him? >> guest: i don't--you know, there are two ways you can go on this. you can say that really helps you if you have this dedicated mother who's given up her life, in a sense, to be with you. but then you can go the other way and say that you sort of never come out of this umbrella that's been put around you to be yourself. c-span: another name that you--i think i only saw it once in here, you mention that he had a relationship with a dorothy fosdick. >> guest: that's right, ye

incidentally, he will be signing his book after the event as will sister helen prejean.ase do get a copy of "just mercy." and "dead man walking" which benefit the ministry against the death penalty. in just mercy, stevenson writes, "my work with the poor and incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth. the opposite of poverty is justice. in another passage, bryan writes in theis grandmother 1880's in virginia. when i visited her, she would hug me so tightly i could barely breathe. after a little while, she would do you still feel me hugging you? if i said yes, she would let me go. you cannot understand most of the important things from a distance, bryan. you have to get close, she told me all the time. --ds bending a few weeks weeks, heing a few met the director of the s pdc. punishment means them without the capital get the punishment. finally, i would like to read to you the final era groep of the introduction to this extraordinary book. have come to believe the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our co
