[indiscernible] hughes, reflections? guest: it is interesting to compare and contrast the way richard nixon spoke to richardson directly, which was cordially and respectfully, but on other tapes, they talk about richardson behind their backs and there is hostility. richard nixon at this point, may of 1973, realized his presidency is at stake. for the first 11 months after june 17, 1972, watergate .reak-in, there wasn't any talk there wasn't any indication the president was involved in the break-in itself, and there had not yet been leaks he was involved in any way in mayruction of justice, but 1973, the public finally heard from the director vernon walters, who had been called to the white house a few days after , directedate break-in by the president's chief of staff, to go to the fbi until the fbi director we want you to hold off on this because to go angle, you will reveal cia activities. walters complied but then went, checked to find out whether that was true or not and discovered there were no cia activities that w

sole owner in howard hughes. thoughtful master plan, continual reinvestment of land, buying out our partners, long-term approach, judiciously selling land but not dumping land on the market, and being an appropriate long-term steward. we have a conservative balance sheet. we stopped selling commercial land. when this was owned by others they would sell off land to pay debt service. we stopped land sales and started buying out parts of the mpcs we didn't control because we understood once you get to a certain tipping point the commercial development opportunity becomes large. once you get beyond a certain population you can build vertically. and we control effectively all of the commercial and residential vacant land and we control the zoning. when you own these assets in the later stages of a master plan community you can build enormous value. it's a business with a cycle so you start by selling lots of home builders to bring in a population that creates demand for shopping centers, office buildings. you build th

hugh, so glad to have you here tonight. like me, your sense of history and sue's as well goes back through many crises over the years. >> mm-hmm. >> how should we think about what's going on now as an investor and how can we keep cool helads when the headlines are so hot? >> it's not easy. i remember the nixon crisis and the clinton crisis. even though we try to keep our heads, even though we tried to focus on what really counts, which of course are earnings and the economy and things of that sort, the truth was in both periods we were very focused, obsessively so, on what was going on in washington. that was true in both of those instances. and i think it's going to be true in this instance as well. and occasionally, periodically, we're gng to get some sort of a shock, a shock that suggests the president is going to be impeached or something is going to happen in washington. and that could cause a real ripple through the markets, a real decline. so this is going to be very much i think, you know, we're going to be walking
