and so there is a great quote in a book by evans and novak on johnson about the johnson to become how he would persuade senators to go along with them. just to give you a flavor gum his term could be supplication, accusation, cajolery, exuberance, complaint and the hint of threat. it ran the gamut of human emotions. it is breathtaking. interjections from the target rare, he moved in close, his face a scant millimeter from his target. his eyes wide and narrow. his eyebrows rising and falling. far from his pockets were clippings memos, statistics, then it becomes humor and the genius of analogy made it an almost hypnotic experience and render the victim stunned and helpless. [laughter] >> when people talk about harry reid -- [laughter] >> that's what they are imagining, right? scholars of the 1950s in six understood that that sort of johnson dominated was really overdrawn. it wasn't a sort of johnson imposing his will. i love his endless drive from the fact that he had an extensive communication network. he could talk to liberal democrats, conservative southern democrats, republicans, a

but karri ellen johnson and maryland showing a lot of patience on the end.ated a free possession former land and any time you can create a free position in the 8-meter and 12-meter, it is a great opportunity for your team. you can get a quality shot to score a goal. >> mike: it is a great point jack. johnson now with her 32nd goal of year leads of team former land and now maryland -- for maryland and now maryland has the lead 4-1. once again karri ellen johnson has done it all so far tonight for maryland. she does it again against erin brennan. they will control it here and we are coming up at the halfway point. >> jack: another point, the girls were allowed to move before the whistle was blown so we saw penn come up with that 50 / 50 ground ball. >> mike: she is up high and ali deluca goes behind the cage to emily szelest. one goal for help help. >> jack: i don't know if you notice this mike, but they have to get the cutters to come through and maryland is going isolation from atop to the open player throwing and dumping. >> mike: courtney lubbe has it agai

karri ellen johnson has taken every one of them for the terrapins. karri ellen johnson has been involved in a lot of the offense too. >> jack: she has a lot of -- a lot of the offense too. >> mike: what a play by sarah mollison. scoring former land right like that and now they regain the lead 4-3. >> jack: she was left all alone on the wing had plenty of time and space to drive to the goal. she was very quick. it was on the ground but again -- nobody came in to double team it a lot of space for her to get that shot off and bring it to the goal. >> former -- for maryland and every time penn seems to come back, it has not been that much longer that maryland regains the lead. >> jack: and they won the last draw. >> mike: karri ellen johnson former land once again. and maryland is trying regain it at the center. >> jack: nice job for laura merrifield to come up with that ball. very skilled player. >> mike: very aggressive so far to be able to kind of respond, i was wondering for penn they are having some a -- such a great year and this could really jump

>> by johnson's cabinet members.they raised a bribery fund of $150,000 and entered into negotiations with a variety of senators and their agents. >> that's a huge amount of money back then wasn't it? >> it was a lot of money. and there were people walking around washington just wads of greenbacks. we didn't have electronic controls and antimoney laundrying rules then. people just had cash. and they passed it around. it was a very corrupt time to be blunt. and the corruption affected the impeachment. there's a lot in this story that was compelling. >> how did you do your research? >> i spent a lot of time at the library of congress. it's a tremendous resource. of course, the trial itself is of -- you know, the transcripts are all available. but, you know, you have to get a feel for what people were saying to each other about it. you want to go to correspondents and original sources. and the newspapers. which were very partisan at that time so you again get some insight into what people were saying about the figures, t

let's go live to ashburn, virginia where kelli johnson is standing by covering the press conference. i know you said that things were all buzz out there yesterday. i imagine the excitement today got notched up a level. >> reporter: it was absolutely crazy out here, probably biggest press conference i've seen in six years of covering the team. donovan mcnabb has the presence about him that fills a room. he's confident but not ar gant. he's a natural born leader and he continuing solicited the attention back to him -- back from himself to the team. winning a championship that brought mcnabb to washington d.c. >> it feels like -- it feels like being drafted again. you've been selected by a team and you're going through the motions of learning a new play and being here with the guys and working out. so it kneels like i'm back 22 again. the body may not respond that way. but when the trade was done, i went back to when i don't know played and jay was here and the things that they were able to do in the offense. and it starts with the run game. i know probably a lot of you come from philly

johnson is all about personal connections and understanding each senator. taft was much more about policy, ideology. he had a conservative ideological vision and policy program that he wanted to put forward and was much less concerned with the personal my cities and getting along with people. he could be rude to people but he was also brilliant and ineffective party leader in other ways. so again, this suggests there are multiple avenues for gaining influence in the senate. influence in the senate. a second thing that is missing so dismissed by people like william as wide and lyndon johnson actually were just isolated individuals. if you think about it, and put them all together, these are people who often were reelected many times and often have a big impact on public debate. they are really public figures working with liberal interest groups among democrats than among conservative causes such as those concerned about domestic communism among the republicans in using the senate as a platform to become important figures in the country , so i think this noti

nick johnson is looking for his first hit. and he is the only member of this lineup for the yankees to not have a hit. jabba chamberlain is getting loose for the yankees in their bullpen. 1-1 on johnson. here's the 1-1. i want to hear you say again for the record because we opened up the whole e-mail pandora's box. it has been fun. baseball fans, yankee fans are pleading with us to stop talking about the no-hitter because we are jinxing is but when david coen did that to the montreal expos, talked about it in the fourth inning. susan and i talked about it. bobby mercer and i talked about it. we talked freely about it. there is susan. but i mean, you know, the whole thing is just ridiculous to think that announcers have anything to do with what is going on on the field. >> now, that is where i disagree with you. >> tim: oh, you do? >> joe: here is the pitch that misses. ball three. 3-2. >> tim: so much superstition in baseball. even guys in the dugout, they don't talk to the pitchers except in david wells' perfect game when dav

here's sherrie johnson, tell us the rules. >> reporter: good morning, jamie. listen, all is quiet right now at the best buy in timonium, but later this morning, it's going to get busy over here. a new rebate program kicks off right here. cash for appliances kicks off this afternoon in conjunction with earth day, as a matter of fact. basically this program is designed to stimulate the economy while encouraging consumers to save energy with more efficient appliances. the cash for appliances program kicks off today with earth day. now this is a government-federal cash for appliances economic incentive program. and right now, we have jeanine nichols joining us live. she's a shopper going to cash in on this rebate. you're out here bright and early. the store opens at 6:00 a.m., you're ready to go. >> i was here at 5:15. i wanted to beat the crowd, i think i did. >> reporter: you did. early bird gets the worm. what are you shopping for? >> a front-loading washing machine. my washer broke a few weeks ago. it stopped working. i'm really here because i need a new washi

"today," "early show." local morning shows. and every one of these clips happened this morning. >> speaking of very -- we have to move along. we're going to skip over the next one, we're going to go -- whoa! >> don't bite. oh! >> yo

and johnson with the pitch away. the orioles -- much nicer plight in seattle if they can come to this one. second base. just off turner. that will be a base hit for buck. those added runs, two in the 9th inning, so important. here's patterson, who had one at bat. single. came on. >> jim p: at the time of the game -- if you're justin turner, obviously you have the speedster at the plate and you want to make sure you don't cheat in and over for the double play because it's more important to get one out than two. probably play in a little bit because eric patterson can run. he has speed. >> gary: hitting just .143. very few at-bats, primarily a bench runner. >> jim p: you have seen over the years young player that seem to do well at aaa when they play every day, struggle sometimes in the big league when they're not everyday plaifers. >> gary: dave trembley hoping they get their second win and get their first win against the left-hander. brett anderson the pitcher of record. the young phenom lefty for the as gave up six

book by evans and novak on johnson about the johnson treatment, how he would persuade senators to goalong with him. just to give you a flavor, his tome could be accusation cajolery exuberance, complained in the hint of threat. he ran the gambit of human emotions. interjections from the target rare. he moved in close, his face is scant millimeter for mistarget, his eyes widening in narrowing, his eyebrows rising and falling, from his pocket support clippings, memos and statistics, mimicry humor and the genius of analogy made it a hit not experience and rendered the victim stunned and helpless. [laughter] people talk about harry reid. [laughter] that is what they are imagining. scholars of the 1950s and 60s understood that portrait of johnson personally dominating was really overdrawn. it was in the story of johnson imposing his will. a lot of this insolence derive from the fact that he had an extensive communication network. he could talk to liberal democrats, conservative southern democrats, republicans and find out what it was each member wanted and needed an broker compromises and

is missing is that these mavericks that are so dismissed by people like william as wide and lyndon johnson actually were just isolated individuals. if you think about it, and put them all together, these are people who often were reelected many times and often have a big impact on public debate. they are really public figures working with liberal interest groups among democrats than among conservative causes such as those concerned about domestic communism among the republicans in using the senate as a platform to become important figures in the country , so i think this notion of the maverick is just lacking influence is wrong. you can see that echoed today, in greater frequency with some of the maverick senators today. and then, the final point i would make about this conventional portrait is that one aspect of the johnson senate that people think about is it is an institution where ideological and partisan warfare has receded and you have this normal cooperative institution. my sense is that actually only captures, to the extent of captures anything, captures only about three years or f

there was a big reaction to that among democratic senators in johnson's own party who did not like to have their arms twisted once a day, thank you very much. the republicans were not too happy about that. so when johnson became vice president in 1961, the senate selected mild-mannered mike mansfield to be majority leader. let everybody have their raw opportunity. robert byrd became majority leader and said, "i would like to have the strength of lyndon johnson and the understanding and engagement of mike mansfield." it was howard baker hughes said that leading the senate is like herding cats, and and trent lott came out with a book, "herding cats." it is a good metaphor because the cats may go in a direction for a limited period of time but that does not last long. one of the most difficult things is to have a large majority. throughout history, you get factions within that majority. it is much better to have a tight margin and then everyone has to pay attention and be serious. but it is a very difficult job, and my hat is off to the people who try to do it. >> questions? we have a co

>> krista: this car is not where jimmie johnson needs it. they were talking about how to make it better if they come in to pit again. they're having trouble on the throttle and saying this is not a winning racecar. chad says just go after 'em! >> darrell: that's what i love about a crew chief. you're riding in second place and the car is not good and the crew chief says, "go after him. get im!" >> mike: he's quicker by not quite a tenth of a second. jimmie is quicker than kyle busch, the race leader. >> good job. >> mike: jeff gordon is faster than both of them. out of third place, gordon is four seconds back. >> darrell: the 48 car historically gets better and better and better in a run. we see how it works out tonight. >> mike: check the speeds at the line. >> darrell: it's not much, 47 to 38. but a little speed difference. >> larry: that equates to jimmie johnson with a 29.16. >> larry: that is the driver that won the most races in the last two seasons, but even though kyle busch won 12 races combined in 2008 and 2009 it's been a long dry

and here's rob johnson. johnson has had an 0-3 so far.8 runs and leave hits for seattle. >> jim: it's a painful lesson for mickolio. if you're not going to get the breaking ball over and throw the fastball in the middle of the plate they will hit it. >> gary: the good news you have to make adjustment. if you do, you can move forward and be a service able major league hitter. otherwise you will be like anyone else. the guy that pitching for the mariners proved that tonight. >> 0-2 count with 2 away. johnson waiting on it. and that just misses outside. a 1-2 count. the mariners finding their offense here in this ball game, having their biggest inning of the season with the 7 runs in the third. he's gone. johnson is out of there, run in, a couple hits, 2 left in scoring position. 8-1 mariners. >> they get him from toronto, eric byrnes will assume centerfield. he played last night it was an adventure. actually yesterday afternoon. he will come in, he played for orioles for a short time. brandon league last year his first full year in the big

i think johnson may have had a little gripe there. that pitch a little inside, because, hey, when you have been around the plate all day long, you get the breaks. >>> he has not hit a batter, but he has nipped all three batters. and casey mccollum, one for 3. singled in the 5th. fast forward off the handle. that is a souvenir. do you remember as a youngster doing to the battle park and chasing down foul balls? i can still here the brick address system, turn that ball in for a snow cone. >> yes. when you use today get a little turn it in for a free coke or hot dog, there was always a little added incentive. >>> they don't do that anymore. the guys get to keep them. now all the schools have big budgets. they can keep the foul balls. that one rattled around in the dugout, in the bullpen. i turned turn in many as a kid, because we reduced them on the weekends. -- we used them on the weekends. >> and johnson hit to killingsworth. >>> right, now back at the top with mccollum. he looked a little jumpy today with the pitch from ray. ray has k

for the moment, that is what larry johnson. convince mike shanahan otherwise, the former chief star is now 30 and after several seasons marked by injury and offfield conflict, he joins the redskins. can he supplant clinton portis as the number one ball carrier? johnson said he intends to try. >> i still have a lot left. people forget i didn't really play much in the first couple of years. really, it's smoothing on out. kind of like the cadillac. it doesn't lose its luster. >> meanwhile, the whining and dining of the quarterback continues. expected to visit the redskins tomorrow and saturday. tennessee safety, eric barry visited the team today. >> all right, if the caps took a vacation between now and the regular season, buffalo won all of its regular games, it would not make a bit of difference. they would not catch -- if the actor says to the director, what's my motivation? the caps have not had much motivation lately, losing their last three and getting outscored 9-1 in those games. tonight, the thrashers come to town. possib

jim johnson had a sore shoulder in camp. starters are out early you're in a lot of trouble. >> jim: appears to have a play, circles to the right, has it for the out. three up three down. we play 6. birds have a lead. turn traditionally brewed beer skunky. brown bottles protect better. we use higher six packs protect it from the light. we put so much care into brewing the beer that we want to protect it. >>> orioles are hoping to contain longoria and go home with the win. brian matusz had an effect i have -- effective game tonight. orioles in the 6th inning breaking the game open with a four run inning and have a 5-2 lead as we go to the 2nd. back end of the game as the orioles try to go home with a win before the home opener. adam jones set to lead off. >> reporter: jones is trying to do a lot bring personality to this ball club. he said last year it could be like a different atmosphere. it creates war in the clubhouse . warren crimed in and said he'd like to hear salsa music. it was exactly what adam waned. >> jim: if i bri

abe appointed by lyndon johnson explained why he resigned. was he forced out? were there are dirty -- there dirty tricks at play? what was going on? >> guest: yeah. i tried to explain in "the rehnquist choice" how nixon saw the potential to get appointees while he was still running for office. when, first of all, earl warren announced that he was departing, clearly seeing earl warren not being somebody who trusted richard nixon, they'd had, they'd been at it politically for years -- >> host: both from california. >> guest: both from california. and so, and earl warren a very savvy guy politically and seeing it thinking that lyndon johnson could fill the chair while he was, you know, still there before nixon could win the election and get inaugurated. didn't happen. nixon passed the word through ehrlichman to bob griffin in the senate, pily buster. been a -- filibuster. been a lot of comment about the fact that there'd never been a filibuster by republicans of a supreme court nominee when there were threats of a filibuster during the bush years or some of the ot

and martha johnson, administrator of the general services administration. so i understand you've had a wonderful session. i heard all about it. all of us here today know just how wide that gap has grown. and who we are all familiar with the economic and demographic changes that have brought us to this point, how over the past generation or two, as costs have risen and wages have lagged, many families have found they can no longer survive on just one income. and at the same time, we've broken down barriers and lifted up opportunities so that more women have entered into the workforce, bringing home paychecks that are critical to supporting families. today, 67% of american families with kids are headed by two working parents or a single working parent, and the result is the rise of what one expert refers to as the "juggler family." for these families, every day is a high wire act. everything is scheduled to the minute. no room for error. if the car breaks down or someone gets sick, or there is a problem at school, that begins a cascading domino effect that le

that didn't stop them from picking up larry johnson.ns back field big enough for two stars of that big wattage? dave owens spoke with him at redskins park. >> for the first time since becoming a redskin, larry johnson stepped up to the spike. >> to me, it seemed lick a good fit. >> but both he and clinton portis are pro bowl runningbacks. so who is the man now? johnson's coach predicted it would be lj, telling the washington post in mid march, quote, he'll take over the starting runningback position, that's what i think. he'll push that guy right out of a job. as for coach shanahan -- >> obviously i watched him from afar for a number of years. i've coached him in the pro bowl. i like larry. i'm a big fan of his. >> portis is participating in the redskins off season conditioning program and the team says he is medically cleared after concussions shortened his 2009 season. to his credit, johnson said all the right things when asked about his role. >> i want to be -- it's always been, i know what he has been able to do off the field and on

last baseball on fox, 7:00 eastern, 4:00 pacific, jimmie johnson won four of the last five races here but dale earnhardt, jr. has a good car coming in starting fifth. join us for nascar on fox a little bit later in phoenix. >> joe: chris looks good, looks rested. >> tim: he does. >> joe: the desert has been kind to him. >> tim: yes, it has. >> joe: a ball to sean rodriguez. 51 homeruns the last two years at aaa and a guy who came to the organization in the trade from the angels. here is another piece of the puzzle. should get a lot of action at second base and when the rays he facing a right-hander they willle play some second and zobrist will go out to right. today against the lefty zobrist played second and kapler got the start in right. that is in the dirt, 2-1. >> tim: talk about pieces of the puzzle. pieces of the buzz until his family.

lady bird johnson was jostled.here have been many moments of furry and anger in the country but this feels a little rawer and a little rougher and therefore all the more-- all the more dangerous. and it is not that we've never had conflict. it's not that there is not a legitimate case against the health-care bill. this isn't about that. this is about people who in greater numbers than historians usually can summon right now are actually threatening lawmakers for votes that they made in the congress on a bill that john dingel who has been in the house since 1955 said is to the right of where nixon was. >> right. >> i mean it's still hard for me to understand that it's only about health care it didn't be. i mean what could be so devastating to people about trying to ensure people who are not insured right now. trying to reign in the cost. trying to have people not have preexisting conditions undone against them. it's got to be about the feeling that people have that somehow america is changing in ways that they don't

armstrong at johnson space center right after 9/11. he flew his own plane in from cincinnati where he has a farm, and he was turning 70 and agreed to do one nasa oral history interview. and the late steve ambrose and i got to do it, and we had at him. and it was a marvelous opportunity to talk to him. i grew up in perrysburg, ohio not far from wapakoneta, so neil armstrong and john glenn -- i love john glenn. they were both great boyhood heroes of mine. but i've been -- done a lot when i particularly ran the eisenhower center we would do world war ii oral history interviews. and i liked talking to soldiers a lot because it's hard to understand battle from a perspective, one general's perspective. but if you can get a sampling of 50 people -- i, for example, just got back from haiti and i went around with general ken keen, the head of our southern command, and he's a first battalion army ranger. and then looking at the job that our humanitarian army has done in haiti and hearing the stories of different soldiers of what they encountered

simon johnson. [applause] >> thank you very much everyone, i thank you for taking time on this beautiful summer evening in early april to come and listen to a talk indoors. the -- i would like to talk to you obviously about the financial system and the situation we find ourselves in today and i think this is a very good day and a very good moment to have this conversation. i just came from capitol hill from one of many briefings and sure are going on but people are grappling with the question of legislation should be passed or not passed that will try and prevent a major a financial meltdown from happening again. we faced in september 2008 as you know an enormous economic and financial calamity and it seems only reasonable and completely consistent with the nature of american democracy that we would fix this. something bad happened, we can argue about the details and again that's a very democratic abbas, we have an administration that is packed with experienced professionals, we have a political pro

it was an investigation that johnson's department of justice looked at settled. so mitchell is reopening it and it was clearly to me a ploy to force for this off the court. they were going to go after bill douglas. when douglass learned that he dug-in and said that long as i live on will be on this court. rather than giving the opening. there was of that move and i am convinced he hadn't committed a crime. he didn't want the grief for his wife. to go back to private practice, and nixon got a seat as a result. >> host: welcome to the program. >> caller: happy easter. steve, you do a wonderful job both here and on washington journal. mr dean, i have read several of your books and enjoyed them very much. a quick story and a question. i am usually successful in striking up conversations but six years ago a beautiful woman sat next to me obviously very wealthy and high was unable to get much of a conversation going. she was courteous but quite distant. i put that down later to the fact that i had a book on my lap which was worse than watergate. >> host: who was your s
