howard hughes. as one of larry's friends back there told me, this guy is somewhere out there where the buses don't go. that was their impression of larry. he furthered this impression by saying really odd things to people, like his best friend he told he was going to make a lot of money and move far away and never talk to him again. which his best friend sort of took offense to, and larry just thought this was, you know, totally acceptable thing to say. he told him that he was going to make a lot of money and marry a catholic girl because catholics don't get tworsed, and he didn't want to give half of his fortune to a catholic girl or, you know, to a woman. he told him various times he wanted to be an actor, and he decided he wanted to be an evangelist, so he would study jimmy swag earth late at night and got the pictures to black out everything but his eyes so he could study how this man manipulated and hip hypnotized people with his eyes. and he also vilified his mother for some reason. he would t

until her husband, hugh, ordered her to stop teaching that boy words and language. slaves are not to be literate. but nothing could stop him. he learned about language in the streets of baltimore from little white boys. he made real friends among the little white boys. most of them irish immigrants. until they reached the age of 12, douglass wrote about boys being natural believers until they turn about 12. he was sent back to the eastern shore in 1883 because his owner, aaron anthony died and all of anthony's slaves had to be parceled out. he had no less than 14 brothers and sisters and first cousins, sold south from the eastern shore of maryland during his lifetime as a slave. the 20 years he lived as a slave. his lucky break was that his new owner was to be thomas ault, who sent him back to baltimore to live with his brother, hugh. again, i would stress had he not had the fortune of going to baltimore and living in the urban environment, we probably wouldn't even know who he was. it was in baltimore that douglass sort of began to see pieces of the world. he lived

so she believes she will get that vote, and that will end his ambitions once and for all. >> hugh, iather there's a video on youtube of kevin rudd issuing some fairly trenchant opinions in the direction of his aides after things go wrong. i believe it's a new year's message in mandarin, which, by the way, he speaks fluently. how is that expected to play because the language is a bit inappropriate for children. >> reporter: you can look that up on youtube under vegamite. i hesitate to explain what that means. but you'll find kevin rudd having a rant, speaking freely, saying dismissive things about a chinese interpreter, banging a table, all this sort of carry on. the people who worked closely with him said that was fairly typical of his behavior a lot of the time. he was known for rages including blue language rages at people around him and his underlings, and yet the public had an image of him as being a rather cuddly benign character. very bright, as you say, a chinese speaker, and a good sort of a guy. the interesting thing that will follow from now is that if, in fact, julia gilla

what hugh wants him to do is get the money back. >> what would that mean for hugh?uch money is that? >> couple hundred thousand dollars perhaps. that's not the point. this is a $460 million loss created by paulson not doing his job correctly. >> what is it you would have to show to win your case about him being negligent in his due diligence? >> we have to show he was grossly negligent. that he did not analyze a chinese timber company. this is not bank of america or citi bank. this is a chinese timber company. he has heightened duties here to really understand the business, understand the area before he invests. >> i want to read you part of the response from paulson company on this negligence suit. they say we firmly believe the lawsuit is without merit and there is no basis in law or fact for the action. they also say they must rely on auditors for some of their information and in a paulson company letter to investors, they go through the various reasons why they might have a reason to believe what they were saying about the business was in fact true. including be

it's a dangerous, risky ploy for her. >> hugh, how do the numbers look? this has been a festinger problem for kevin rudd. he never really quite got over being shafted. >> reporter: well, kevin rudd was an enormous hero of center left politics in australia he swept to power in 2007 after a dozen years of conservative rule. he was immediately popular. he was, in fact, the most popular australian prime minister in history for a period. however, there were problems underneath the surface. ministers and senior public servants who were working with him describe terrible tantrums, a sense of kai os, a micro manager who didn't consult with anyone, insisted in being involved if every area of policy to the point where decisions weren't being made, dysfunctional leader, to such a degree that in the end julia gillard had to step up and take control of circumstances here, take control of the government and lead a challenge that she won in 2010. now, since then, it is alleged kevin rudd has run a campaign of essentially leaking against the prime minister. she barely go

earlier today i spoke with michael hughes independent journalist and foreign policy strategist about who's advising the g.o.p. candidates and what it would mean for america if one of them were to be elected and take a look actually i think compared to george bush that there are these characters is even more frightening than bush which is amazing even you can say you know. for black i mean they based on their policies they want to see was on the. you know americans who. are almost obsession with the right wing christian. back in the whole thing in the in the israeli connection they have this obsession with armageddon kind of frightening and they're back and people like santorum and gingrich they want these guys in office you know making these decisions earning frightening. and it's it's funny to use the word armageddon because we saw words similar to that in last night's g.o.p. presidential debate where the candidates took turns kind of pandering to their base and talking tough when it comes to cracking down on syria let's take a listen to what rick santorum had to say. we are going t

karen hughes did much better. she went around, and she made a point of listening. but there was no connection between the listening and policy. and it's hard to make that connection. jim glassman worked very hard to try to bring us into the internet age and all the tools of social media which is where it needs to be because it needs to be a two-way conversation. it's not just telling people. and we're going to see how well they do. the biggest problem is that even though the obama administration and hillary clinton came into office with strong support for public diplomacy as to whether we should be doing it, the budget was frozen and will probably be substantially reduced in the 20% reduction of state department budget's now about to get. so there'll be no money for it. now, on the other hand -- oh, and incidentally, other countries always do it, think of the france alliance, the centers from germany, think of the japan foundation, think of the new confucius centers that china's putting all over the world, thousands of them.
