>> well, john paul was stabbed. he was sitting in the bath, she came, knocked on the door, his wife would not let her in because she knew charlotte represented a segment of the french people that he was opposed to, and she was angry at that time because beheading those people, and he was taunting he'd have all the people she cared about guillotined, and she became extremely angry and pulled a knife from her dress and stabbed him in the heart, and he expiredded quickly thereafter because he basically bled to death quickly so there was probably blood all over everything so that part seems reasonable enough. what i don't find convincing is that you have this blood spattered page opposite this page with no spatters on it at all. now, back in the day of the hand press as this was prevented on a hand press on handmade paper, these plates were presented on different paper, and they were printed using a different method of printing than the letter press, than the type would have been printed, so it's reasonable to think tha

i happen to be in rome when pope john paul's trip to cuba was announced and there have been some interesting differences of opinion. the vatican has tended to be in favor of a gradual, peaceful transition from the castro regime. and the fact that the pope is willing to go there speaks to this desire for a gradual change. some of the cuban community in the united states, the catholic cuban community one should say, are very uneasy about this. they would like a sort of harder push to get that regime out. so there have been some arguments over the years between our cuban community, particularly in south florida, and the vatican. it will be fascinating to see how exactly, what pope benedict says about alterations in that regime and religious freedom. castro himself, is a dictator, he also has had this kind of lifelong fascination with religion. he seems to be an atheist, but -- maybe the "but"'s getting bigger as the years go by. >> folks, our time is almost up and in the couple minutes remaining i want to ask you, in addition to what we've just been talking about, what else are you watching? wh

dickerson is with the paul campaign tonight. jo john? >> reporter: ron paul campaigning in nashua, new hampshire, today, predicted a real nice second-place finish. though surveys have shown that he is regularly come in in second place behind mitt romney. his pitch has been consistent: a libertarian message of individual liberty, adherence to the constitution, and free market. that economic philosophy is so consistent he was the only candidate to defend mitt romney's career as a venture capitalist. his antiwar stance and his unmatched candor have made him popular to a wide variety of voters-- college students, disaffected democrats and even evangelical republicans. if he does well tonight as he expects, ron paul may get the largest share of a presidential primary vote that he's ever gotten before. but the question, scott, as you mentioned, is whether the jon huntsman surge may upend that real nice second-place finish that ron paul expects. >> pelley: thank you very much, john. newt gingrich was once a national front-runner but he told us t

later on my far it and john paul got together and what was it they could talk about. had saved them for a purpose? what was ultimately that purpose? the two of them ended up changing the world. megyn: it's one thing to forget and it's another to advocate for the freedom of a man who was shot. according to the testimony we heard from catherine herridge who has been inside the courtroom. secret service agents are talking about how they surveilled him and he's look at books on presidential assassinations including the one he attempted. it must give you pause. >> the secret service following this man, they are out there to protect presidents of the united states. and they have never forgotten about gerald ford or ronald reagan. they want to make sure they can protect those of which they are asked to serve. if they are sitting there saying this is not a man you can trust out on his own, i'm going to the secret service on this and put him in that mental ward where he's been. he's having this visitation. he should be happy he's having visitations. but to be out on his own wo

we are dangerous to the status quote of this country. >> john paul actually looked like he enjoyed giving that speech last night. the race from here will be a brutal fight on the airwaves with staggering amounts of money involved. gingrich's campaign announced this new ad in south carolina, attacking romney on a social position, abortion. >> what happened after massachusetts governor mitt romney -- romney appointed a pro abortion judge, expanded access to abortion pills and romney signed health care with taxpayer supported abortions. mitt romney can't be trusted. >> gingrich is superpacked winning our future will finally drop the first ad naming romney's record today. romney is countering with six new ad byes in south carolina and florida. and this morning romney is already out with a spanish language ad where he tries his hand at the language.

let's go to joe johns. ron paulrily nevada, where you were? >> that's true. campaigning in colorado, which would seem on the to the average person watching all of this, really de-emphasized florida, because his campaign really saw florida as prohibitively expensive to try to advertise in, also a state where it's win terr take all, which is proportional delegation, proportional del gates to the convention for the republican party. so he has been emphasizing his strength, really talking to those young people around these states, trying to push them to the polls, because that's where he knows his strength is, talking a bit about his anti-war message earlier today in colorado. listen to the sound bites. >> of course, the wars and the entitlement system, the welfare system could not be financialed if we had to pay taxes every month, but sell ductively they empowero, pay it later on, print the money and delay the cost. i used to talk about the next generation will bear the costs. i don't talk that way. we're paying the co
