"american idol's" katherine mcphee.s around singing christmas songs. and we also used to perform as a family at like retirement homes and hospitals and those are just -- those are some of my favorite memories we had. being able to give back to other people. and in any way we can. i mean, like we -- didn't feel like i could do much for other people but music was something i fell we could give back. opening presents by the tree. and having christmas dinner together at my grand parents' house. and it is just -- just fun things. we used to have talent shows. we used to do talent shows and have family -- take turns performing and stuff. >> i think when it snowed it made may little gray industrial town into this magical landscape. i used to work with my daddy on the run. we were the first people, 5:00 in the morning, to disturb the s snow. i loved the snow. it was cold and after a few hours i was pretty miserable. when we first went out there, this is great. >> the song that i sang -- that i sing called "god love the holidays

we can save lives i was talking to katherine pearson last evening and i figure will be difficult to measure how many lives we are saving. many people will not come forward and tell us. long after they graduate, when we teach is education, we are teaching them life skills. it is no different than anything else that we teach in health class. we teach them about heart disease prevention, the chances of becoming involved in abusive relationships in high school are for > them developing heart disease in high school. >> i recall in 1999 when i was attorney-general, we did a film and high school and distributed khthat program e test of persisted. i will take that lesson from you today. >> i was trying to find that tape to see if we could duplicated and handed out to our schools >> in my last

katherine, the lady from "desperate housewives," 42 years old. her mother had cancer. two kids. husband leaves her. she has nothing. she gets three jobs and does one thing. what do i love? even though i'm not skilled in it, acting. terrible actor. ten years, she doesn't get one line. 15 more years before she says any lines. 25 years later, she's on a top show, "desperate housewives," two emmys. short term will be tough here for everybody. you know what, winter is the reason we are in and get tougher and stronger. people are stronger than they think they are. they don't know until they put themselves on the line. if you sit and wait, i want to see government do anything they can. but you and i as individuals, can't sit and wait. we have to feed our families. >> larry: what's google do, eric? >> in our case we are back in business in terms of hiring. we are going to hire a couple thousand people over the next 12 months. from our perspective, it is all about keeping our employees current and also trying to help these businesses especially small businesses get some money. in the cas

>> if you know katherine, you know that she is stubborn. i mean, she was and she remains very committed to her cause. if you keep in mind that this was as much as a political adventure as it was of a jurisprudencetial enterprise, katherine knew what was on the line. it was a high risk. i mean, she was really rolling for a major loss if she either offended kennedy or o'connor. because she clearly needed both of them. and from the excerpts that we played for our audience, it's clear that both of them came into the arguments skeptical of her go for broke approach. i don't think it was -- well, you could probably say it was an aberration in the sense that not many causes are that emotional. i mean, dahlia's chapter is about one of the ideas, and a death penalty case is, too. but most of the time when you go into an oral argument, the issue is not quite as close as it is -- as it was in this case. most of the cases are not bound to be 5-4. i mean, the 5-4 is still an exception. the court still decides more cases by 7-2, 6-3 so when you know goin

she said, do you know katherine graham? she looked at me as if she was seeing -- that book was able to speak to someone of a total different experience who was not a billionaire who would inherit a newspaper. the book does a couple of things that really stand out, how did you motivate children. i asked how his father was able to motivate his kids to do so much in life. he told me a little bit about that, which is captured in the book. his father came to him at a crucial moment and said ted, you can do what you want with your adult life, that decision is open to you, but you should know that if you do not use your life to do something serious, i will not have a lot of time for you, because there are other siblings of yours who will. he writes about what enormous influence that had on him. that is the kind of lesson you can get from reading this book. many people probably think this book is all about politics. it is more about ted kennedy the human being that it is about politics. all of us as witnesses to his life and our ow

juste kennedy was alsoçó pushing, buts you can hear in a rather deft way when catherine colbert -- katherine to your point, but i want to get backed to the standard. the argument went that way throughoutñr, and justice kenney also jumped in with a similar kind of attempt to push colbert back on to the specifics. [inaudible] [inaudible] >> the statutory provisions are not necessarily undercut in roe vs. wade. [inaudible] [inaudible] >> i am suggesting to you that that is not the only logical possibility. >> the pattern that was set earlier continue. i should mention that there were two other lawyers arguing this case, and the chapter that i wrote deal briefly with them, but the performance of catherine colbert ultimately proved the worst of her choice, because she did shake the conversation that thereafter occurred among the justices. in the end, justices kennedy, o'connor, and david souter got together and fashioned a way by which the court could sustainçó> roe vs. wade, at least in substantial part, and they did indeed strike down only that one çiÑiÑipart, the requirement tha womanjf conte

and this is another good tennessee state student, katherine brooks. she was originally from birmingham. but she was a student here in the early 60's, unlike rip, very much involved in the sit-in movement. non-violence is the key to the civil rights movement and most of the people who were involved understood the idea and readily embraced it even though for some people it was a struggle. and catherine like several of the black southern freedom riders i interviewed talked about getting her start as a protester almost instinctively as a child and just sort of acting out and just sort of natural and i want to read an excerpt from our interview in the book. it might have been around fifth or sixth grade when i began to protest the way things were. i refuse to step aside walking downtown when a white person would approach me. in high school we've road city buses to school and one day my friends and i through the colored sign out the window. leader during the sittings and picketing in 1960 and now of course we are in asheville it was tough to have someone pu

there was a wonderful book written called "dangerous doses" by katherine eban. she traced this drug to a 16-year-old boy named timothy afghanan whose health was dramatically affected by what has happened here. this drug, by the way, found its way all the way through these places, including -- it is expected, including a strip joint in miami, a cooler in the back of a strip joint in miami, in the trucks of automobiles, distributed through all sorts of strange and unusual places and gets to a 16-year-old boy with devastating results, devastating results because this drug had 1/20 of the strength that was supposed to have been given to this young boy for his disease. now, does anybody have the capability to understand where all this happened, how it got tracked? no, a journalist did the investigative work to find this out. fortunately for us, we now have a track on this one drug that affected this young boy in a devastating way. that's not reimportation. that's the domestic drug supply. how can this happen? because we don't have batch lots and pedigrees and tracers
