in eckels a few hundred yards where julia lived. then on to his professional career as a journalist, editor, publisher and author. but this isn't just another autobiography. this is also a biography of the newspaper industry over many, many significant decades. and the book describes that almost industrial process of producing a newspaper over really the best part of the last century. now, all that in one way vanished but the book is decidedly not an obituary for print journalism. mark twain said i'm not an editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that god will not make me one. [laughter] harold evans is 14-year tenure as the editor of the sunday times and for a year as the editor of the daily times of london. produced work of really extraordinarily high standard. in 2001, journalists named him the greatest british newspaper editor of all times.

[inaudible] tell us about korea and the sellers are dee dee to -- silver star. >> i will tell you about korea. i assume not to discuss the awards. >> [inaudible] >> why or how were we integrated or desegregated as a starting point in august of 1950. very simply, when it will give regimental commander, cc sloan, that we've got all these people coming in and they are not coming in by the racial breakup of the regimen and sloan said put them where they are needed. and with that we started our desegregation. and interestingly enough, as a template to leader i got one of the first non-blacks. yet it to pieces hispanic, excuse me, chicano from texas to revitalize our don't let nothing happened to this fellow. we are not going to be the first screw it up. nothing happened to him. we did a pretty good job i might add because we demonstrated third battalion, the battalion commander was a super guy well led by his boss and we did what we had to do. my first award came with a purple heart breaki

>> hi, i'm julia appleby with news.you mentioned that one of the drivers was the increased enrollment on medicare advantage. is that because it costs more for enrollment and traditional fee for service or was there another reason why that was part of the original fee or increase. >> well, enrollment increase it costs more. particularly the increase in cost is driven by depeas in enroll bheant and many people have been switching to managed care because packages may offer some dibble benefits for the same prices. but we don't have specific information that teases out what kind of packages beneficiaries are buying, and a good comparison for similar types of beneficiaries and fee for service for managed care but a at the aggregate level usually health spending is driven by the increases in enrollment. >> so it was just a population change? >> the population, if you take the effects of enrollment out, like i said before growth was 6.8% on a per enrollee basis. so that was a combination of cost and price growth at 6.8%. >> an

it was the early morning after leading through these more than quote 100 circling camps that julia wrote down the words that had come to her as an inspiration in the silent watches of the night. the battle hem of the republic. my knives have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. he is is trampling out for the grapes of wrath are stored. he had lost the faithful lightning of the sword. his truth is marching on. thank you all.

[laughter] go ahead. >> phil, what is your next project that you are working on? >> the biography of general phillip carney. in fact, i have an account. he commanded the first new jersey brigade at the cross roads. at the time, this again -- the army of potomac was just being born. nay -- they have yet to be numbered. it wasn't until after the review it was time to start numberrering these brigades. carney's brigade, the first in new jersey infantry brigade, it was considered by mcclellan and called after that review the first brigade, first division, first corp, because it was th

perhaps the jackass move of all time in broadcasting, second perhaps only to arthur godfrey's firing of julia ormond on the air? take a salad, put a fork in it and stir it up, things were going rather nicely. i love the way politicians and network people will always say in a disaster, this is exactly the way we hoped it would work out. >> you thought the shows would achieve lower ratings, angry hosts and affiliates wanting to dump out all over the place? is that what you are happy with? i promise you that the man or men responsible for this, because you and i and donald trump know how these things work, will very soon be promoted and given a pay raise. >> larry: do you think conan will go to fox, dick? >> probably. they don't understand performers. i guess there's no way they would, they come from different worlds. but what do you think the hosts feel? they don't understand the sensibilities. you take conan and say, you're not good enough, conan, to start the show so you need a wamrm-up man. maybe we can get a warm-up man. how about jay leno? we'll give him a third of what he had and put him

that's since arthur godfrey fired julia larolarosa on the a. we were on about this before, weren't we, larry? i wonder if i said to you then at the height of the frenzy that i could see nbc from the window here and they put out a banner saying mission accomplished. >> larry: tom, did conan do the right thing, do you think? >> i think as much as he could. he didn't have much latitude either way. what else could he have done? if he is walking away with $40 million and a contract to do a sitcom for nbc which is another little irony of all this, you know, they all hate each other but they'll do business with each other even so. it's a kind of a crazy bunch of contradictions and ironies in this thing. yeah, i think conan of all of them looks the least culpable in this. he seems like mostly -- more the victim certainly than jay who doesn't have a victim's bone in his body i don't think. >> tom, isn't this something -- maybe this is what you already said. of the idea that people go around saying, why, they didn't keep their word. people keep their wor

host: julia, democratic line. lackawanna, new york. caller: the woman before this one about the media brainwashing us, we do not need another gop congress, we need gop real participation. just let the president said when he was asked the other day about the republicans, if they do not get 100% of what they what, they do not want to play. they were in total control for eight years, ramming everything down our throats. now they are not in control and they still want everything we had before. tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. host: let's go to a comment we got from massachusetts. "yes, democracy works better when balanced out between three segments, however, current republican leadership are more concerned with making obama failed and they are with improving the government." what do you think of that? the president was invited to their issues summit, you saw it appears -- side here on c-span. there were exchanges for about 90 minutes. you can see this on your screen. let's go to our next caller in denmark. scott, an independent line. caller:

. >> julia mixed inburg have a book out a couple years ago the political content, we will bring her in for a cold war seminar program in the spring. take a look at that book. she really does make the political under current and substructure of dr. seuss pretty clear. >> there are three children's authors of note to cut their teeth. john freeman saying pictures for the sunday magazine, you are familiar with the cartoon -- johnson did this strip, later became famous for the children's book that i am forgetting. the kid with the magic crayon. he did this surreal -- in a way almost calvin and hobbes. i am sure you are familiar with calvin and hobbes. he is an imaginary tiger in calvin's mind. barnaby had an imaginary leprechaun. it continued in other parts of the press. >> this gives new meaning to infantile leftism. >> i was wondering there were two things i wanted to ask about. one was the discussion within p.m. around the hitler/stalin pact and how the editorial stats coped with the change in policy and how p.m. was treated later. what happened during the mccarthy era. >> the pact happe

of course we also look at how alcohol has become a major craft movement and it goes along with the julia child's movement, but we liked craft beer and wine that comes from single vineyards and bourbon that is made in small batches and so once americans change the attitudes about alcohol and it's shipped over from something to get drunk on toward something that we appreciate and can't socialize with. >> looking at the social aspect of alcohol in america, was it a moral choice at the beginning and now we are moving away from that? >> can you rephrase that? >> at the beginning when we look at the beginning of the temperance movement we see this as a moral crusade if you will. are we becoming -- is a moral choice to drink or not to drink? >> for most americans today and two-thirds of adults drink alcohol today, alcohol has long since lost its sin. we don't call it demon rum buckholtz cadre de degette as i call it in the subtitle. the idea of the alcohol being wrong is feet away from society like i said most of the street now and most of us don't want to be told anymore like you shouldn't dri

julia lived very close to me and he is likely because we never met. [laughter] because he knows tino what might happen if i had met the gorgeous julia coop became a scientist and like me ended up in the united states. tonight really should be a celebration, not only me but of reporting. that is what my book is about. it is about what newspapers can achieve, not what an editor can achieve but what the reporters on the ground can achieve. that is why i am particularly honored tonight to have been bradley here who represents journalism at its best and many other excellent reporter's here. i am also glad of course that we are here which is a synthesis i think of remarkable quality about what's best is going on at the moment in because few people apart from me to really read the newspaper every day, and so provides that synthesist as well. celebrating reporting means actually, which all this feel what reporting is, news is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress. everything else is advertising. [laughter] and in fact of course everyone knows the truth of

his sister, julia loomis, had married a very, very promising young banker named landon k. thorne, landon ketchum thorne, and he was quite the salesman. and by the time loomis came out of world war i, thorne was already known in sort of the "wall street journal" and the newspapers as a real up-and-comer, a sharp-eyed deal-maker, and he was considered to be one of the most promising young security salesmen on wall street. and he had his eye on a firm called bonbright and company, which was a very sleepy firm. most of its big clients had sort of lost their money, and it had sort of lost its way. and he and loomis partnered up. he talked loomis into quitting the law firm and joining in with him, even though loomis was not at that point a banker. and they took over bonbright in a kind of bloodless coupe, and they took it over and went right into public utility financing. and over the next 10 years, they would become the absolute leaders in public utility financing on wall street and would write over 15 percent of all the securities issues, billions of dollars in deals, and beca

. >> jewel -- julia appleby with keyser health care news.f the drivers was the increase enrollment in medicare advantage. is that because it costs more to have folks in medicare advantage than traditional fee-for-service, or was there another reason? >> enrollment would increase because it costs more. typically the increase in cost is driven by increases in enrollment. and many people have been switching to managed care because the packages may offer some additional benefits for the same prices. but we don't have specific information that teases out what kinds of packages beneficiaries are buying and aok good comparin for similar types of beneficiaries in fee-for-service vs. managed care, but at the aggregate level, usually health spending is driven by the increases in enrollment. >> it was just a population change? >> the population, if you take the effects of enrollment out, like i said before, growth was 6.8% on a per enrollee basis. that was a combination of cost and price growth the 6.8%. >> that compares with 5.8% overall. it was the c
