part, in an indian language. the first issue, february 1828, contained excerpts in english and cherokee from the just-completed cherokee constitution, the lord's prayer, and an editorial by boudinot. recognizing that most whites still viewed all indians as little more than savages, boudinot focused on indians' capacity for progress as justification for a hopeful future. indians with the proper advantages are as capable of improvement in mind as any other people. but his optimism, even as he declared it from the pages of the phoenix, would soon become suspect. in fact, what proved more prophetic was the greed of their white neighbors. when a cherokee boy discovered gold on cherokee land in the summer of 1829, land-you can hungry georgia januaries invaded in crowes. the cherokees bitterly complained, but it became quickly obvious that the invading whites aided and abetted by a president, andrew jackson had just been elected the year before, a president who shared their convictions that indians occupied lands that p

there is a photo of the west indian work force in the canal zone.n this biracial approach put white workers, u.s. workers on the so-called gold wrote -- and backward groups in the west indies were on the silver role and paid in silver. life was very different for those two groups but a lot of what is fascinating about the canal zone is so many workers didn't quite fit into that black versus white structure. the spaniards. fascinating group. the u.s. imported 6,000 spaniards to work on the canal thinking they would prod the black workers to work harder. in fact they did have a lot of energy but in ways that complicated life for the other officials. they were classified as non-white or sometimes referred to as colored or semi white workers. they were excluded from the white hotels and cafeterias, excluded from white dormitories and the spaniards were very angry about that and they mobilized and engaged in an artist movement. when i am in the archives i am interested in moments of tension between the workers and the officials so you are looking in the

>> indian point is right here. >> o'brien: right on the fault. when they were designing indian point, this was unknown. >> this was unknown. the original design for indian point one barely mentions earthquakes except to say that this region is quiet compared to alaska and california and japan, which is true. >> o'brien: if they were designing the plant today, says sykes, the nrc would certainly take into account the newly discovered seismic data. let's start with the earthquake and paint the series of sequences that worry you that could lead to a loss of water and lead to that release of radioactive material. >> right. so one would be if the reactors themselves are damaged by an earthquake that is large enough to crack critical components of that system. >> o'brien: that would be a pretty big quake, wouldn't it? >> well, it could be a magnitude six. if you have an earthquake that is very close to indian point, it doesn't take as large an earthquake to cause damage, and particularly if it's shallow. >> o'brien: and yet you still live here. >> i st

( laughter ) it's impossible to tell an indian consumer that, because there is such a strong belief, and this belief has been backed by its own performance. >> chauhan: you're dealing with tradition. you're dealing with culture. you're dealing with history. >> chauhan: and you have to also understand that, unlike diamonds and platinum, which are much more expensive than gold, gold is considered sacred here. >> pitts: the bavikatte wedding was a hindu ceremony, the religion for 80% of indians. the bride and groom had gold on them and all around them, a powerful symbol of purity and eternity that hindus elevate to the status of a goddess. they call her lakshmi. every fall, there's a religious holiday, one day when hindus worship lakshmi by shopping for gold. >> chauhan: that day, if you buy gold, it's considered to bring you prosperity, good luck, health, wealth, everything. if you buy gold a day before, you get nothing. you buy gold a day after, you get nothing.

i think that although our projects are relatively small in their scope, the indians have a very good network of working with the many, many villagers and trying to work on this. if i could piggyback on senator udal's comments my experience in nepal with the lanterns, it allowed the children to have an opportunity to stay the school, and do their home work and encourage literacy. it also in a similar way empowered women and provided a source of income for them through the sales of these very small scale entrepreneurships with the lamps, it's good program. >> we will count on you to reduce the barriers for american entrepreneurs. for the benefit of the people. >> thank you. >> you mentioned earlier the dialog between the united states and india on 20 different areas. last year, secretary clinton visited india and addressed the strategic dialog at that time and as you pointed out the dialog includes security, regional cooperation atechnolog, but can you highlight the most effective parts of the dialog and what you hope to make the most progress with in the coming year? >> i think my tim

the indian government has focused its education initiatives on mathematics and science. it has succeeded in cultivating many talented students. countries all over the world are competing to secure top-quality students, especially science majo majors. 100,000 indians study in the united states. that compares with just 500 in japan. there is the director of the university of tokyo india office. he's leading the school's efforts to catch up his first project was to conduct a survey exploring indian students' attitudes toward japan. it targeted students particularly interested in japan or in learning japanese. the results show that even among these students, one out of three want to study in the united states. >> if i go to the usa, i will get more opportunities in terms of jobs. and admissions for a doctorate. u.s. universities are some of the best in the world. >> reporter: feeling alarmed, yoshino tries appealing to the students' examiners. he also set up an alumni association for indian and japanese graduates of the university of tokyo. the hope is that it will help rais

and then the indians began to pick off all the cattle they brought. and then they got mixed up in the wasatch range, you know, box canyons and so on, and the overall gist of it is they got late. and late was something you did not do when you were trying to cross the sierra mown mountains because when it snows out there -- i mean, we've got big mountains up here. these are about three times the size of the appalachians, and there was a pass at about 7,000 feet, that was the pass that hayed that to finish they had to get to before the end of november, and they didn't make it. and they got up there only to discover that the pass was completely blocked with about ten feet of snow. and they couldn't get back down. because it kept on snowing. and they did the wrong things. they didn't -- what they should have done, again, this is hindsight, but you read about it, they should have had a mountain man with 'em. he won't have let them go up there in the first place, but at least when they got up there, they knew pretty early on they was going to have to stay th
