hughes. so nobody was really fooled by roosevelt and his proposal. everybody saw it for what it was. it was an attempt by him to undercut the conservative court and try to restore the new deal constitutionally. and hughes who, of course, said nothing publicly was furious. and he was asked by the senate judiciary committee if he would write a letter which he did. it was a seven-page letter in which he documented how that court was completely up-to-date. he also said that if there were additional justices, be -- if court came to 15 justices, it would slow down their work because there'd be many -- more conferences and more opinions, and it'd take more time. so he very emphatically rejected the idea that this court-packing plan was a good idea. and the plan was resoundingly defeated. later roosevelt in grudging admiration for hughes said that he was, he was the best politician in the country. [laughter] he just had to deal with one of the most popular presidents in our history, and he did that.

roosevelt thought hughes had one. also the next morning returns came in and it turned out will send one the election, barely. and as the assistant secretary of the navy then went back to practice privately in your city. but then becoming the vice-presidential candidate running with governor james cox of ohio. there we're entrapped by warren harding and calvin coolidge. at the same time then appointed secretary. one year later the fortune one goes up and one goes down. he convened a disarmament conference 1921. negotiated the 10 bid of warships from three major naval powers from united states, great britain and japan. of great day should great triumph. roosevelt 1921 was paralyzed from the waist down with polio. that would seem to be a promising career. in 1824 that he was this paralyzed. hughes goes up and roosevelt goes down. but then with that spirit, to have that political career again, the then madison and square garden he did with braces up his legs. then madison and square garden he did with braces up his legs.

as you can see, hugh has a personal stake in this work.ack when he was a kid, all he wanted to do was climb mountains. >> by the age of 12, 13, i was considered a child prodigy in climbing. was climbing walls never climbed before. >> but then, at age 17 -- >> in 1982 i was mountain climbing, we got struck by a tremendous blizzard. what we intended to be a single day turned in a four-day trip. i suffered severe frostbite. after months of immediaeffort, decided to give up. >> it is a personal quest. >> i was a terrible high school student, at best i got c's, i often got f's. then my accident happened when i was 17, it inspired me to begin to developing them for myself and other people. >> losing both legs, a lot for anyone to overcome. but with hugh, it lit a fire. >> whenever i sprint upstairs with my limbs, when i get to the top i giggle. i grew up with the television show "the bionic man" and "six million dollar man" so when i'm running up steps, i hear the motors -, oe o -- hysterical. >> one of the first designs, adjustable legs, at mit

hugh? [applause] >> thank you, sir. good evening. it's wonderful to be here, and i think eric for those kind words, and mark and alec and all the other folks here at the bookloft. not least because independent stores are becoming more and more important i think in this world. and so those of us who enjoy the process across passionate browsing books as both reading and writing, bookstores, whatever merits of the web, are special places. so i thank them for being here, both to welcome us tonight but also to sell us their wares. to begin then, a question that comes to mind is why a book on the war of 1812. partly the answer is because i can read a calendar. this is 2012, and, therefore, it's the bicentennial of the war of 1812. and and diverse i found have a kind of doppler effect. you don't really care that much and then they speak loud to the have been of thing happens and then they fade away. i was hoping that i could catch that moment, and to judge from the folks we have here i would say that maybe it's working. another reason for a

howard hughes was spun out of when general growth properties emerged from bankruptcy, howard hughes was a collection of 34 sort of development or turnaround properties that didn't really fit with the mall portfolio of general growth. and we actually think this is the more attractive piece. we have sold. howard hughes has 34 fabulous properties. four of them are master planned communities that are really directly related to housing. the rest are various malls, southside sea ports in new york city. ward centers in honolulu. and the key is that they're all either need to be turned around or just development properties so they're not currently cash flowing but you've got an incredible operator, the ceo, and a great capital allocator who's chairman of the company and shareholder and we're betting on the overall portfolio of assets and the management and the board, the chairman of the board here. and it's even with the run-up it's had recently, still trading at a slight discount to book value and we think it's conservatively stated and hard to say exactly what it's worth but we think more tha

to the hughes court.ef justice hughes was a brilliant lawyer and had to deal with some very broad economic and social legislation from the new deal. there may be perils with what happens in 2012 and what happened during the 1930's when chief justice hughes was presiding. host: some have said this could be a defining legacy for the chief justice. guest: this is the most important challenge to broadbased economic legislation in 75 years, over 75 years since chief justice hughes was presiding. in the mid 1930's, the court first struck down broad base legislation and found a constitutional. that legacy continues -- has continued for the next 75 years. chief justice roberts is facing a similar challenge that chief justice hughes did in 1935, 1936, 1937. host: what impact could this have on the roberts court? guest: this will be a defining moments, to be sure. i think the court realizes the gravity. they are giving this three days, which is an eternity. justice roberts is an interesting person to watch. many of

analysts suggest the baker hughes challenges are its own and not industry-wide. the warning from the number three oilfield driller comes as energy prices continue climbing. crude oil settled up more than $1 per barrel, raising above $107 per barrel. the u.s. energy department said crude oil supplies fell in the past week while the market was expecting supplies to increase. also in energy, we learned after the closing bell, three giants are talking about teaming up to ship liquified natural gas from the u.s. to asia. according to the "financial times," exxon, b.p. and conoco are negotiating a $40 billion project focused on sending liquified natural gas from alaska to asia. other media reports indicate a multibillion-dollar international drug deal could be coming. generic drug maker watson pharmaceuticals reportedly is close to making a play for actavis out of switzerland. the price tag could be close to $6 billion, creating a global generic drug maker. shares of watson shot up on speculation of a deal, rallying almost 9% on very heavy volume. this is its highest p

i want to thank hugh for taking the news in stride as we try to come up with an economic solution for the project. and i think we have done a pretty good job of that. the letter of intent proposes it will construct of 20 megawatt system using an electrical contractor. it identifies highly-qualified company to do this kind of work. they are in the process of trying to meet the city's various requirements for doing business with the city, and we will continue to assist them with that. mayor lee and supervisor cohen have introduced legislation to enable the port to work with them on the project an amount not to exceed $5.7 million, and that includes a $600,000 cost for disposing transformers that have been at the site for a very long amount of time and are well beyond their useful life. that is a pork obligation to dispose the transformers. under the term -- that is a port obligation to this force the transformers. we would come up with the initial sources of capital to pay for the work. bae would pay an equipment charge of 4 cents per kilowatt hour used by the system. that cost would be

ben bernanke -- >> can you put baker hughes in that category. baker hughes has a problem with shifting towards -- away from natural gas. they are sort of left flat-footed so it's not just necessarily rising costs. >> baker hughes saw a 400 to 500 basis point draw down in the margins so margin compression is a big issue. when we look at big cyclicals which are short something like freeport, people say i buy it because it's cheap. you don't buy a cyclical when it's cheap and margins are coming down like this. before you know it the stocks are getting down when it get more expensive. >> where are we for the week? stocks are on track for the worst week of the year. equities are still intact and you can find the proof by checking the charts. let's bring in michael harris, director of trading at campel & company. michael in, terms of what you see for the s&p 500, where do you look first for clues? >> our systematic trend following models have three distinct time horizons. as i look at chart, the first thing i see is the one-year lookback which is firm
