tavis: i have the honor to have on this program and number of times james taylor, and he has talked about times in his life when he was drug-addicted and what he had to go through to get off of it, and he has joked about not remembering so much of the good stuff early on in his career because he was so high for a good part of that. do you recall, or do you regret not being able to remember and be present in those moments when the music was so rich and being enjoyed by so many people? >> i tell you, i have a hell of a memory. not in immediate memory, but a long time, and i can remember stuff that my good close friends would say, "man, you remember that?" and i would say, "yes, you don't remember this and this and this?" you remember it just plain as day. tavis: so you recall a lot of the great moments on stage. >> i do, i do, i do. >> -- tavis: obviously, when you make it into the rock-and- roll hall of fame, it is a major statement on the part of those folks about your musical contributions. but let me ask you gregg allman what your sense is. what is your sense of what the contributioners

observer and supporter of the martin luther king middle school since the good days when my friend james taylor was the principal. my observation now was that the middle school has suffered tremendously throughout the school year and is at its worst state historical. the new administration placed by the school board was about -- without consent. the school was formed in came into existence in 1984 as the result of a mandated court order from a lawsuit filed by the naacp. as a result of a mandated court order filed by the naacp. staff members were selected by a committee consisting of staff, parents, and community members. staff was to be the most qualified and most experienced. this was not the case. the recommendation for this year was ignored with no regard to what the community felt was a crucial component to the education of their children. the first choice was an african- american from the bay view community. the only candidate with experience to work with black children, the basis on which the school was founded. there needs to be a connection with the students, staff, parents, and commun

james taylor is a senior fellow at heartland. >> we've seen that soil moisture globally has improved. we've seen that droughts have become less frequent and less severe. we've seen expansion of forests. we've seen crop production reached record levels. we've seen tornadoes and hurricanes to the extent that we can ascribe trends. we've seen that they've become less frequent and less severe. across the board we've seen the warmer climate, warmer temperatures have always benefited humans, and continued to do so. >> sreenivasan: views challenged by scientific evidence. in cheryl manning's classroom, she is trying to get her students to tackle both the validity of the science behind climate change, and what society can do about it. >> i want you to look for when did the conversation change from being just among scientists to being amongst more than that-- amongst policy makers, amongst industry people, and amongst the general public? >> sreenivasan: she now asks her advanced placement environmental class to create a timeline. students chronicle both significant scientific advances and poli

taylor's little army the best in which he's ever served. more than 30 battles and skirmishes. from start to finish, it was polk's war though. from the white house, president james polk oversaw every detail. commanding generals in the field, scott and taylor often were not consulted at all. polk's plan was to capture the mexican provinces north of the 22nd parallel -- 3 32nd parallel, today's u.s./mexican boundary. that's up here. and to send taylor's army to conquer northern mexico. this was taylor's army. when mexico still refused to concede after he did this, polk opened the second front down here at very -- varian cruz. more than 08 ships, more than p -- 80 ships, more than 10,000 crews. vera cruise surrendererred. scott embarked on his famous march to montezuma, 260 miles away. interestingly, the duke of wellington who was the victor after waterloo, kept a wall map of the campaign in his study and followed scott's campaign. he thought scott was just the greatest general of his time, which he was. polk wanted to be president of the whole country, not a partisan president. but he was a democrat to the core. he worked hard to prevent scott and taylor who were

in looking crucially at the pivotal role of james murdoch in the settlement of the gordon taylor case, i think we have been reminded to follow precisely the evidence we were given which doesn't contradict anything he said to the committee and, therefore, it's probably impossible to say that he misled parliament. but i think we can be critical of the actions of the senior executives at that time in the failure of the company to disclose information about phone hacking, the failure of those in the company to investigate it fully and, overall, a failure of corporate leadership. i would just also touch, like to touch on the role, the pivotal role that led -- [inaudible] we have been critical of because it was stated in the leveson inquiry last week that it was what senior executives in the company knew -- which was very limited -- and there was what lawyers, managers and editors in the company knew which may have been greater. but they did have someone who had the opportunity to sit down with clive goodman and interrogate him personally about his employment claim. he was aware of allegati
