i think that's really a lovely, a real significance, that contribution. i know in the past couple years you have been able to establish an immigrant law center providing legal advice and legal support for immigrants facing possible deportation and i think that is a huge significant contribution that you have made to the community. when i come to your church, your community events, it's a place where clearly everyone is welcome, all are welcome, in fact that is one of your philosophy that you have about your church it's. economically, racially, and the languages as well. i believe that's all what you have been able to create over the years in your commitment to temple united methodist church. district 11 has the unfortunate distinction of not supporting same sex marriage. we didn't have a good turnout against prop 8 in district 11 in 2008, yet i know your church has been a place, a supporter of same sex unions and officiated some of them as well and i want to thank you for your courage and commitment and one that resonates throughout your community. we look

so what possibly could i contribute to the body of knowledge on abraham lincoln or george washington? pretty much everything that could have been written probably has been. the great historians have pored over the letters in evidence to produce the hundreds of books on vinc in washington so why not look at the person who knew them the best? because historians have largely ignored the role of the first lady as well as mistresses prices back to lot of my colleagues in many older men educated in a certain way with the matters of the heart. so by setting the first lady the first thing thomas jefferson did after spending 17 days writing the declaration of independence the first thing he did is went shopping. he missed martha she was pregnant and had a miscarriage and he missed her. then he begged off from serving the rest of the summer to go home to monticello to be with his wife. every winter of the revolutionary war right there besides george washington and suffering through the cold weather was martha washington right there in canso by setting the first lady's make it in sight from the

i t. contribute to afshin rattansi says the alliance's of global activities actually do more harm than good. journalists from all over the world seem to be covering the straight line that nato is this complex system of fine military generals and military armor when of course every time a day goes into a country it ends up in either disaster or blowback disaster as it has been in libya which is given power to however many militias and of course one only has to look at afghanistan to see what it's done there not many people actually covering the aftermath of the war in yugoslavia to see where the costs are always better off now that perhaps the worst fears would be that the nature of drone attacks on that killed so many children in the outback border regions and so forth will result in profound blowback this week a fire broke out in a psychiatric ward outside moscow killing thirty eight patients and staff only three people made it out alive r.t.c. got to be going up was at the scene looking at the possible causes of the tragedy. it was around half past one in the morning when a nurse of that

growing up on stage, loving to be a stage actor, it led me to be able to contribute. i learned from tim robbins, a brilliant actor and director. forever indebted to him. states,in one of four and happiness, sadness, fear, anger. you are at age 10, you just won the lottery. i performed on stage like that at all time. was emotionally over invested in everything, and the downside of that might be, if there is one, if you create a dimensional character that seems authentic, people will confuse you for this character. that is kind of what happens to me. i am not playing the victim in any way, shape, or form. but it is difficult to shake. i am not an abrasive money- hungry -- tavis: erascible. >> yeah. tavis: let me follow you there. it does that mean that you are the processning that you use for the roles that you pick? >> absolutely. it without a doubt. is, hey, we out need a fast-talking agent character. let's make jeremy an offer. the easy way out is, let's do that. but it is not that interesting. harrys fascinating about is, to make this choice where he is always smiling

write about thomas nast and it's a story that originated in graduate school in california where i was contributing material for an encyclopedia being being produced by mike by zerneck chose his name off of the list thinking it would be entertaining. then when i went to look for material about him i couldn't find any i thought i'm the worlds worst graduate student and they should shoot took me out. i called my advisor and i said i don't know what i'm going to do. she said let me look and she called me back and said no it's fine. it's not you, there is nothing. so it turns out that what he did at that time was a biography published in 1904 by alfred payne a writer for a children's magazine and to this was his big break was writing this book. there was a picture book to martin keller published in 1958 which has wonderful text but approximately 57 pages of the so that's not enough. and then there is quite an odd book but a great book if you're interested in eccentricity published in the mid-90s by roger fisher which is both a book about nixon and a book about nast's campaign so if you can imagine that
