edgar hoover.his is a book called wild billion donovan, the spy master who created the oss in modern american espionage. joining me is the book's author douglas waller, he's a defense analyst from bloomberg government. and he began his ceer working for donovan during his ambassadorship to thailand. i'm pleased to have both of them at this table. welcome. good to have you back. so where did the idea to write this come from? >> >> i've always been interested in historical figures and glossed over by other historians who are very controversial in what they did. in the case of wild bill donovan, people either loved him or hated him. very f people -- he as you say headed up the strategic office. he was franklin roosevelt top spy master and he was introducing the united states into a form of warfare, covert warfare, espionage, propaganda, psychological operations. things that conventional admirals and generals found deeply disturbing and found his id is deeply disturbing and he was a, he had a personnity

that is regardless of language, program, and preference for hoover or toys.to make this work, we need support for transportation. a question for you is, and of the community is not alone. a question to you is, that is going to cost a significant amount of money. i want to know what you have in place to evaluate the cost of what needs to be put into place before as these folks have said. before you put into place and pass this proposal. i want to encourage you to go back to the language you adopted in march before the proposals were added on. i also want to encourage you to think about building middle schools in the region. have 17% of all middle school students and we need a middle school in that neighborhood. a good one. monroe is bursting at the seams. we want a k-h monroe in our neighborhood. please. we want you to build schools in our neighborhood. [applause] >> my name is.rodriguez, and i am here to talk about the buena vista school. in the beginning of the year, there was an agreement made with the school and with the educational placement center that t

hoover declared. a vietnam war hero had become hoover's worst nightmare. >> he was clearly the target of this area. the person who had to be put behind bars for the black panther party to be stopped. and consequently they said, well, if you didn't do that who cares. we think he belongs in jail anyway. >> reporter: internal fbi reports called for him to be neutralized as a panther leader. >> it might get someone fired, screw up their marriage if they are married, play havoc with, you know, the landlord or whatever, or having someone framed and put in jail or assassinated. >> reporter: and when pratt and other members were arrested this letter shows he had nothing to do with it. [ music ] >> still to come on "second look" chris harris continues his look at the pratt case and the charges there a miscarriage of justice. plus we will take you to his joyous bay area homecoming after his release in 1997. >> follow sick sick "second look" on facebook and twitter. [ ding! ] [ boy ] lookin' good mr. g. thanks,

and the reason hoover had mills there was that hoover had wanted some sort of bipartisan confidence-enhancing measures during this ambiguous transition period. and he wanted to get roosevelt onboard. of course, nowadays we would think of this as wonderful bipartisan cooperation, isn't it nice, republicans and democrats getting along and uniting for the good of the country. well, fdr was deeply annoyed by this. he didn't want to get anywhere near uniting with the hoover administration on anything, um, and declined to issue the statement that hoover wanted him to. nevertheless, the one person that roosevelt did meet with during the transition from the hoover administration was henry stimson who was hoover's secretary of state. who was another new yorker, henry stimson lived on the north shore of long island, but he, like fdr, came from an old new york family, so they probably had a lot of concentric circles in the roosevelt/stimson orbit. but roosevelt actually asked stimson who was secretary of state to come here to his house in hyde park where they had a long meeting, with they discussed -- w

hoover didn't like that. at all. and he said that the case against the six was airtight unless they had to prove intent. excuse me, you always have to prove intent if you're going to find someone guilty. and he didn't give up on it. and lo and behold, by 1950, after the soviets had detonated a atomic bomb and shock the world and we found there were atomic spies, he gave a lot of information, leaked information to mccarthy, who leaked it to the present started this spies and communist agents in the state department. and he gave a speech at many of you may have heard of in wheeling, west virginia, in february of 1950. and he said he had the names of 250 card-carrying communists in the state department. he only named for people, and one of them he singled out was john service. this is what he said about them. service sent official reports back to the state department urging that we torpedo our ally chiang kai-shek and that communism is the only hope of china. later, this man john service, and please remember that name,

my final question is we have some families saying they do not want to go to hoover, and the staff responsive and suggestion for families who would do the right thing and give people access to middle schools who may not necessarily be in their curriculum -- what would you say to these families? >> on the first question about the program, as we were designing the system, we found one of the greatest inequities' about the old system is a prioritized on time applicants. choice is not mentioned as . tuesday with the same set of priorities all the time -- to stay with the same set of priorities all the time, it would reduce the opportunity or incentive to put a fine choices -- to put down choices they might not want. the program placement fees -- piece i will not be able to elaborate on except that you were suggesting how can we make sure that all of our schools are attractive and what do we need to do to provide that opportunity to families? i think it is part of a broader discussion they are having in looking at what are the changes we need to make. in terms of monroe and some of the families no

so, for example, hoover had chinese and other pathways.you may remember the first proposal, and it did not contemplate maintaining those language pathways, and it was agreed that we should do that, so we looked at some high schools that offer spanish and another, so it made sense to feed them into a school was offered both of those programs, and we know it is not feasible to build both of these pathways in every neighborhood, and mosconi and monroe already had a robust kindergarten through five, and pathways already existed. so the transportation, the board approved a policy for transportation, and in that, it concentrated the feeder patterns, and the board policy actually said it would provide limited and strategic transportation to support the middle school feeders, so based on what is before the board tonight, it would require a shift in rows for middle school but would not require an increase in resources, et so we would, under the new proposal of the feeders, have transportation for the presidio, francisco, and another, and hoover wou

much of what they're talking about sounds like hoover. as a factual matter, one of president hoover's speeches is in your volume of great american speeches? this is news to me. >> well, great in the sense of influential. >> all right. okay. i just wanted to make sure this -- >> i do think for the historical record i think it's worth pointing out in 1932 in pittsburgh franklin roosevelt gave a famous speech calling for cutting spending and balanced budgets. herbert hoover wasn't alone in that. but -- >> david, you're absolutely right. and i -- but i think that the important thing is we learned a lot. i assume we learned a lot during the 19 30z, '40s, '50s. i mean, even richard nixon said we're all keynesians now. and to go back to the 1920s, pre all of that learning, is absolutely -- i mean, it's just extraordinary. >> look, we've got to move on and -- >> but can i say one thing briefly, eliot? >> of course. >> and that is i don't think we're hearing from the president either about ways to create jobs. the larry summers column that was in

middle schools. -- herbert hoover middle schools. and spent much of his time teaching as a bilingual teacher. students remember rafael as a teacher who not only takes his teaching very seriously but apparently never runs out of funny jokes. lorraine perry is a third generation san franciscan. lorraine, her parents, and her grandparents all attended public schools in san francisco. in the fall of 1985, lorraine was hired to teach science at james middle school where she worked for three years. and then she transferred to marina middle school where she has taught math and science for the past 23 years. as well as being part of the gender academy under the leadership of john michaelson. livan chung in 1970 started her teaching career in san francisco. she was hired by the women's junior league to coordinate a tutorial and saturday program for immigrant students. from 1970 through 2000, livan taught at the chinese education center, washington irving elementary, rafael wheel and elementary, and benjamin franklin middle school and marina m

. >> and then on july 16th at the hoover, historical hoover theater in the rose garden area, right acrossthe egyptian museum. then on the 17th, we're going to be doing a private house concert in gilroy, and i'm going to be making a piea, so it's going to be really fun. >> logon for more information. thank you so much for the work you do to promote flamenco. >> thank you for having us. >> coming up next on "comunidad del valle," the east side community district going solar. >>> the largest k-12 solar school project in the country is right here in east san jose. with me is frank veal, vice president of the board of trustees of the east side union heights division. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> let's show the viewers what we're talking about. well, tell us basically what you're doing at east side. >> well, at east side, we've basically had the opportunity to take capital dollars and invest them to provide operating funds for our schools. >> and that means what for the carbon footprint and what for retaining teachers? >> well, for retaining teachers, we think this will save between 25

coolidge and hoover carried on that agenda relegating government to the sidelines as business created the largest economic bubble ever seen at that time that was called the roaring twenty's and then crashed our economy in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine triggering a worldwide great depression but franklin delano roosevelt turned it all around and turned the economy around too thanks to government spending and government regulations f.d.r. showed us all what government is capable of when it has the trust of the people but today even though our country's in the same boat that it was in in one nine hundred thirty two or that close to it president obama and the democrats have been unsuccessful at restoring the good name of government and convincing the american people that government can actually do something that it can be a good force it's a simple idea we do have a market economy to put in a private business but when those businesses get there or get knocked on their butt as they did in twenty nine as they did in two thousand and eight then someone needs to step up and be the spe

edgar hoover whos was then director of the fbi to pursue this aggressively because hoover was a friend of dan elsburg father-in-law who was a toy manufacturer. he used to give toys to hoover to give to his employees for their children at christmastime. now turns out dan elsburg and his father-in-law didn't have a particularly loss relationship. >> so they decided they needed another group to plug the leaks and they created the plumbers. >> brown: now bring us forward here, 40 years later. do you consider the impact, one certainly, you started to talk b the relationship between the government, which is seeking to-- citing the demands of national security and the press. >> well, the irony was "the new york times" first did this because in 1961 exactly a decade earlier, john kennedy went to the publisher of "the new york times" who had told him that we've got this information that you are planning an attack on castro's cuba, the bay of pigs. do you want us to publish or not. kennedy said please don't. the times said okay, we won't. later on kennedy said i wished you had published it becau

>> i don't know if i sound like herbert hoover. i think professor reich sounds exactly like art laffer. in other words, we don't have to take fiscal medicine, austerity is never needed. what we need to do is imagine we can grow our way out of this problem. i think it's too late for that. we can't grow our way out of this problem. the economy has failed. it's busted. we haven't created one new job net in the last 12 years. so as a result of that we have to worry about where the world bond market, the currency market and monetary conditions are going to be. two years ago greece was borrowing two-year money at 3%. this morning they're borrowing at 30%. there reaches a point when the bond market is no longer willing to tolerate the kind of fiscal irresponsibility we have, and i think we're very close to that, and it is very foolish to run a risk of trying to find out how much longer we can go on with this before the reaction sets in. so yes, i agree it would be nice if we could afford to spend money to put people to work or put money i

i just want us to hoover. >> jon: do the hover shake. first episode was so good. >> thank you. and your acting now is getting good. >> you were describing it. i thought you were saying, "you're acting now," which is the way it feels. it feels goofy. >> jon: you and i have worked together for so many years. and we all sucked. they always wanted to make us acteddors and we all sucked at it. and all of a sudden you became good. wait. what about taking the rest of us with you. >> i have more practice, that's allment i've just done it for longer. i still suck pretty bad, though. >> jon: stop it. first episode, the woman who played your sister. >> are rusty schwimmer. >> jon: so good. >> she's great. january jon can we say first episode what... >> it's all about a big fart. the whole first episode is about a fart. and... >> jon: how long is the fart? >> i think it was 42 seconds long or something like that. [laughter] one-tenth of an episode is a fart. more than one-tenth. 20% of the episode is a fart. >> jon: i don't let your children watch your show. i don't let them watch my show,

harrison, cleveland, theodore roosevelt, william howard taft, woodrow wilson, coolidge, hoo r hoover, franklin roosevelt -- >> break, break. >> no, truman, eisenhower. >> cooper, you're gone. anderson cooper with ac 360. very close. >> thanks, rainman. >>> good evening. we begin keeping them honest. a strange saga or congressman anthony weiner and what may or may not be an intimate photo of him that came up on twitter. was the photograph of a crotch shot in boxers sent from his twitter account and addressed to a seattle area college student in fact him? >> have you ever taken a picture like this of yourself? >> i can tell you this that there are -- i have photographs, i don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me. i don't know what things have been manipulated and doctored and we're going to try to find out what happened. >> we'll play more of the interview with the congressman shortly in two parts. he did tell "the new york times," he could not say if he was the person in the picture, in other words, not ruling it out. he does, however, flatly deny sending it. he say

edgar hoover, who liked the attention generated by his newspaper story about the top toughest guys the fbi were trying to catch. the current list includes four fugitives wanted for murder, one for a financial scam and victor gerena, wanted for taking $7 million from a security company. 60 years ago, posters went up in post offices. now, it's on the web and on social networks, facebook and twitter. top tenners are also rotated among the ads on digital billboards from times square to busy highways nationwide. that bulger tv ad was born of the same idea. >> we knew a lot about the girlfriend. we knew about what she looked like. we knew some of her interests. we thought perhaps if we targeted a certain audience and tried to get this information out to the right people, perhaps someone my have seen her. >> reporter: who gets the fbi's attention has also changed. the top ten list was once bank robbers and kidnappers. now, it includes international criminals and terrorists. osama bin laden was on the list, too. but throughout the fbi's history, one thing has remained a top ten staple. fugitiv

were given what you picked out, hoover you had to use your phrase.on't we know who those 20 people are now? >> for some time. they've been on our list of most wanted. we've known a number of the key players. part of the problem, is we've had a lot of success in taking out a lot of those individuals. over the years, part of the problem is they have a deep well of potential recruit. they're going after who you would expect. uneducated, unmotivated. no place else to go. and so from their perspectitarg them. we're taking out the top leadership, limit their ability to bring in experienced, qualified people. before 9/11, before we chased them out of afghanistan. they had all sorts of time to train people and work with them. we see them in the u.s. and we say how come they're not more successful? they don't have time to sit them down and train them. >> and they do lose a lot of skill the way organized crime, any other criminal syndicate will. you raise ad critical point. they're trying to latch on to the arab spring and make themselves relevant to this mass

. >> hoover's institution says the united states risks being perceived as pulling out under fire. >> the taliban will take advantage of this, of course. for political reasons and within their own country, but it is to show they are the victors and the americans are being chased out. that's an unfortunate perception. >> and the president will continue to make his kay for the withdraw plan. it is going to an army base where troops are frequently sent to afghanistan. while there is relief that the troops will soon begin leaving afghanistan, there is also concern. some are afraid that once the american fighters start leaving, those left behind could be left more vulnerable. abc7's lisa amin is live with that story. lisa? >> dan, those in the military and their families listen intently to the president's speech today. and while it is welcome news that troops will come home, there is worry about the ramifications. >> is a the -- as the president spoke, moms listened. >> we are starting this draw down. >> there was silence as the commander-in-chief laid out his plans for a troop withdrawal

hoover people are worse off as were before over. there were. there would be a lot of violence in the streets the people said that when they're turning out into the streets in their millions and the government continues to push ahead with the pace measures well then they deign to have democracy any more the government is trying to grumble but the people who refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous bizzare peaceful pair above the reef tops in athens really a world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question a lot of people have been asking is just when will greece reach boiling point lenny when he was on the streets of athens to witness the violence will know that it's already past that point the question a lot of people are now asking is really how much further does this guy serve. firth was on the streets of athens when bottom protests hit the capital read all about and go think greece and her experiences in her blog you can find it on our website at www dot com. greece
