president with zachary taylor in in 1940. zachary taylor died after about a year in office and millard fillmore becomes president. he is like a celebrity. that ask him to head the ticket. the interesting thing is millard fillmore is not anti-immigrant or anti capitalist. while they are holding the convention in philadelphia, the so-called city of brotherly love, millard fillmore is in the vatican meeting the pope. nobody knew that. it was not a problem. he comes back. the campaign runs. they do very well. they get 22% of the vote. one of the highest percentages in american history. what they wanted was their platform was to extend the citizenship for 25 years. at that point it was five years and if you intend to become a citizen you could vote. they want to extend this period to 25 years and take a franchise away from these immigrants. they don't become the major second party because in 1854-1855 the republican party is formed. they run for the first time in eighteen 66. john fremont is their candidate. he gets 35% of the vot

so i put it in the car, put it in the back, put it in the trunk. just along with the typewriter. away we go. and i'm writing all the time. i'm writing when i'm flying in a plane. i don't mean literally writing. i'm thinking. people often say to me, perfectly good question, how much of your time do you spend writing and how much of your time do you spend doing research? great question. no one ever says how much of your time do you spend thinking? and that's probably the most important part of it. just thinking about it, thinking about it, what you have read, what you need to reread, what you need to think more about, putting things out literally out on the table and looking at them, putting a painting, reproduction of a painting and really looking at that painting or thinking about that painting, or the setting. when things happen is very important to me. this whole book that i have just written is set in paris. where it's happening. another book i wrote was set in brooklyn. another was set in panama. much of several books have been set here in washington, and i believe that the s

often in nice houses in big cities in pakistan. if you google pindy what comes up in english is a million mentions of it as a garrison city. the other place in pakistan you find described as a garrison city if it's described at all is the town from osama bin laden was just found. a garrison city. basically just means that sit a military city. it is a city intensely populated with both military personnel, retired military personnel and military facilities. in a country where the military and the intelligence service are the most powerful forces around, where they run everything. where they're way more in control than the nominal government is, where khalid mohammed and osama bin laden were found where were those people live. where the nation's elite live. where the nation's military officers live. these garrison cities. both of these guys caught in nice, big houses in garrison cities dpr which that country's elite military and intelligence personnel have been telling the united states that terrorism is over. that bin laden was nowhe

i think one of the things he has going in his favor is that he lived in the pakistan in 2005-'6, returned to pakistan again in the summer of '07 and '08, visiting research associate. and so, and he's co-authored chapters in a book called "religion and security: the new nexus in international relations." so i'll stop there. as i said, 25 minutes or so for you, anatol, would be great. and without further ado -- >> thank you so much, kalpana. thank you all for coming. i'm deeply flattered to be invited to the world bank. it's also a great pleasure to speak alongside two people whose work i greatly admire. and, indeed, i'm indebted to josh for -- >> [inaudible] >> sorry? can you hear? oh. so sorry. and i'm indebted to josh for many insights into, in particular, the frontier province. i thought i'd begin with my latest visit last month in which i went up there to pashar because it's a good way of leading into the fact that despite a good deal of the western media commentary, pakistan is not a failed state, nor even yet -- nor, in my view, in future -- a failing state. these are terms, you know

so yellow was stuck in the middle of, he arrived in winter. he was stuck in the middle of winter. he couldn't found a job. he found a job in fact cleaning urineals. that is best job he could get. somehow through series of exchanges he found a job in the department of biochem mystery. he made several fundamental discoveries. yellow discovered atp. he discovered as some of you plight know is very important molecule and several other seminal discoveries. because he was indyap he was denied tenure. he was sent off sent off from harvard, sent himself off to a pharmaceutical company in new york called lederle. a subbranch the american cynamid company. he took up a problem very great interest to him. he began to sin that advertise -- synthesize many site inches minutes. one vitamin he was particularly interested in was called folic acid. and in the past, an english physician, a young woman, had figured out that folic acid was responsible for the growth of normal blood cells. so in or the words often in women, particularly pregnant women, deficiencies if you didn't have enough folic acid

litigation we are saving $4 in loss in future loss. with recent budget cuts and states getting deeper in debt we have seen major reduction and settling up in many places, i out right elimination of mitigation programs. the result will be devastating. if future -- if we reduce our research mitigation budget, we will not be benefiting from the current advances and we will be putting our communities at even greater risk. moreover, we need to invest funds specifically to study the great earthquake of march 11th. this is the first time that a magnitude 9 earthquake has hit a country that has a building and infrastructure that's very similar to ours, that has design practices that are very similar to ours, that have a general, social and economic environment similar to ours. and where we're seeing for the first time and have evidences and measurements from the largest tsunami we have observed. some of the tsunami waves were as high as 37.8 meters, close almost to 100 feet if not higher. the lessons to be learned are enormous, unprecedented.

in syria. this is just a sampling of our coordination. it is by no means meant to be exhaustive. i would say we are working together to ensure that we do see the kind of middle east emerge that we would like to see. we are, of course, all concerned that terrorists will try to exploit this moment. because although the arab spring, as you mentioned, has been, nits oin its own way, a strategic blow to al-qaeda, because they were not part of the movement, they were not part of the story there, and, in fact, the events themselves demonstrated the falseness of one of their core beliefs, which is that only violence would change these countries. we view these as very positive elements, but terrorists will go whenever they see an opportunity as there is distracted security areas in the region and border security is not what it should be, they may see this as an opportunity. we're working closely with diplomatic intelligence, law enforcement and military channels to do what we can to ensure the region ma

and, in fact, i deal with it in the book.when i used to chair the national intelligence council, i would say to the various analysts after they'd done their alignment of scenarios and assign probabilities to them, now tell me what could make all this wrong. which makes you sensitive to the assumptions you've put in. and so as i wrote the sixth chapter of the book in which i think on balance the americans are still going to be the most powerful country in the next couple of decades of this century, i asked myself that question: what could make it all wrong if the and there are a -- wrong? and there are a variety of things. if we fail to deal with the deficit, handle our secondary education problems, there are a variety of things. but the one that would make me most worried is a nuclear terrorist attack on american cities. perhaps not one, but a series. in which we decide the right response is to close down, to curtail our civil liberties, our freedoms, to curtail access to the outside, you know, and hupger down. that would imm

officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition in returning to. here is the requirement in islamic law. individual vary but in twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were informed and held for eleven days after being killed by u.s. forces but there are so many in consistencies in all of this that it's incumbent upon the obama administration to be as forthcoming as they can be about exactly what they do and do not know and did and did not know or in this case know what to say before you speak and not just one week ago it was brock obama at the center of a two year. conspiracy died down once america's leader released his birth certificate but now obama's actions surrounding the killing of osama bin ladin paved the way for a whole new set of missing questions surrounding the transparency the u.s. government. r.t. new york. the fight against al qaeda inspired terrorism continues in russia eight militants were killed on sunday and their own going to terra operation in the north caucus

in for me. how westward expansion had become dammed up in the ohio river appeared beside the northwest territory was a huge real estate event waiting to happen when chapman arrived on the shores of the river at the end of the 18th century. the way the second great awakening thought overall it does with meanings meanings that grew 10 and 20,000 people had not evolved as many as two dozen preachers her rainbow coalition observers splintering reforming christian denominations. john chapman lives and often lonely life deep in the woods, but was also an integral part of all these forces swirling around him as a nursery men, real estate speculators and evangelists in the off year election of 1806 and settlers in and around al creek, today's mount vernon got to go for the first time. john chapman was among the 15 eligible males who cast their ballots through a triumph democracy. wherever this polling place was. the second great awakening led me to another fascinating character, almost last in modern me

in fact, history is dubious, but it is in the biography.here is even speculation that a law was so upset by thinking of having to be first lady which she saw as an empty ceremonial role , she did not want to participate, she wrote a letter. in that letter she threatened to leave franklin and run away with her zero bella. you have to remember, we think of these people as saints, but their flesh and blood just like us. we don't know if there was such a letter, there are people who supposedly saw letter. the letter, supposedly destroyed by louis hell who was the first friend and confidence. also political genius. at any rate how does it happen then that this unwilling woman who really didn't want to the first lady rewrote the script for first lady from 1933 until 1945. it made the job of first lady part of the white house political communications process as it yesterday. it is a script that all of her successors have had to take note of, whether they voted on not. most of them have followed it, at least in part, by finding appropriate causes t

we did it in the '70. we did it in the '90s. when you look at the data going back to the '30s, our defense budget goes up and down. and it does so on a fairly regular basis. so certainly this is not unexpected from my point of view. what i've seen and i've been in the pentagon most over the last decade, with the increasing defense budget, which is almost double, it hasn't forced us to make the hard trades. it hasn't forced us for prioritize and it hast foed us to make the analysis and it hasn'torced us to get to a point in a very turbulent world of what -- what we're going to do and what we're not going to do. and so i see that on the horizon and we need to be paying an awful lot of attention to that. i have said the defense needs to be on the table. and i'm comfortable with that. that said, i'm required to articulate our national security requirements and certainly advise the president and others but particularly the president about how we best can achieve them with the force that we have and we find ourselves at a particularly

santorum served two terms in the senate. he was defeated in his reelection bid in 2006. voters in canada have given conservative prime minister stephen harper a majority in parliament. his party won 167 out of 308 seats in monday's election. harper took office in 2006, but until now, he never had a governing majority. he celebrated the victory last night with supporters in calgary, and he appealed for unity. >> we can now begin to come together again, as we must, as canadians, as fellow citizens, friends and neighbors for our part we are intensely aware that we are and we must be the government of all canadians including those who did not vote for us. >> sreenivasan: the election also shook up the opposition. the leftist new democratic party supplanted the liberals as the country's number two party. for the first time ever, the liberals finished third. israel made a last-ditch effort today to halt a palestinian unity deal between rival faions hamas and fah. prime minister benjamin netanyahu appealed to palestinian president mahmoud abbas to cancel the agreement. he warne

in the late 1960s, in the late 1980s, and most recently in 2007 until 2009 in the so-called lawyers movement. there's no country on the planet, according to the pew charitable trust, whose population has a more this favorable view of the united states government than pakistan. the major source of anti-americanism, which i believe is really anti-u.s. government is a, in pakistan, is the popular perception that the u.s. government supports military governments for u.s. geostrategic interests, including the proxy war in afghanistan to dispel, to dispel the soviet union, and a direct war against the taliban today. and in the u.s. government abandons or even punishes the civilian government when u.s. geostrategic interests have been satisfied. the clearest example and most damaging instance of this occurred in 1990 when president george herbert walker bush allowed sanctions against pakistan for its nuclear weapons program, only after the soviet army was out of afghanistan. as long as the soviet army was in afghanistan, u.s. presidents prevented those sanctions authorized by congress from going in

our european allies from russia in the east and italy in the south to netherlands and denmark in the north share our views with counterterrorism policies focusing on building the capacity of foreign partners and countering violence i extremism. while it's the highest priority in the engagement, hamas and hezbollah are a major focus. we will continue to work true bilateral channels to press our allies to take more aggressive action to crack down on fund raising at both the e.u. and member state levels. i made this a personal priority. in conclusion, the magnitude and breath of the challenge makes clear no country or organization can defeat it alone, and the united states will, indeed, we must continue to work closely with our partners around the world especially our capable and willing european allies to identify areas where further work remains to be done and how we can further collaborate ever more effectively only through such corporation can we succeed. thank you, and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, ambassador benjamin, and now we'll hear from mr. secretary coumans

i've lived in chicago, in boston, in los angeles, in new york, here in d.c., in atlanta, in the sudan. i've done business all oh the world -- all over the world. i've had some remarkable experiences, improbable ones in the eyes of many. i've argued in the supreme court, i've hitchhiked from cairo to khartoum, i've counseled two presidents. i've served as the first black governor of massachusetts on my first time running for office. but as i reflect on each of these experiences, each has its roots in the lessons that i try to write about in this book. these lessons have given me a sense of the possible, and that has made all the difference. i write in the book about the transition from the south side of chicago to milton academy, about the experience of trying to bridge these very different worlds where each one seemed to demand that you reject the other as the price of acceptance in the one. and how important it was for me to understand, ultimately, that that was a false choice. i write about the way the old ladies in big hats in church back home taught me to see that faith is not so

exactly the question is the answer actually you see in spain in from the sea in many countries people in the street because the policy of all governments is a catastrophe you have no money for pensions you have no money for jobs in the u.s. schools and hospitals are crumbling and instead of giving money for that. spending billions of dollars or euros to make war for the profits of multinationals in arabic african countries and so on so it's truly a policy of the governments against their people that's obvious you're in brussels just finally do you really think the euro is at stake and it could indeed collapse . well i think you have to consider the question more generally as i said the usa is bankrupt state just consider a huge deficit of the federal system also the states and europe of course if it's facing a lot of problems through so i cannot tell you this will happen soon but it's very obvious that this economic system is crumbling the western multinationals and their governments are trying to impede that we come to a multi-polar world where the people can decide where they won't

the ninth and the ninth of may in russia is the eight of may in western europe and in america is due to the fact that the surrender of nazi germany was signed at a time on the eighth of may in germany which meant that it was actually the ninth here in russia and that's why it's celebrated on the ninth however in some of the countries closest neighbors in fact those countries they were liberated by soviet troops during world war two the red army troops are viewed as an occupying force in fact so nationalists in russia's closest neighbors actually forced alongside the nazis as a legacy of a chef. ukraine is divided once again over its wartime history a bitter scandal has erupted in the west of the country over the soviet red banner an exact replica of the one with the reichstag in one thousand nine hundred forty five as the nazi regime collapsed when the ukrainian parliament passed a law to allow the soviet red flags fly on victory day this year along with the country's national flag it sparked outrage for among some who view the soviet era as a time of oppression. those who initiated
