that kent for example was a social relations major.g what ideas were in the backs of minds or what assumptions their professors had of them was creepy. i'm going to give you a couple quotes to raise your hear about it. for instance, in one of the books that ron blau quotes, called the mark of oppression by canton or oversee obviously well-respected sociologist, they said that their mothers were often loveless tyrants, their fathers frequently either's occlusive taciturn violent and punitive or submissive to the mother. the marriages were multiple and discordant, their families unsettled and their communities devoid of genuine religiosity. he sums up the end of the book by saying the negro has no possible basis for healthy self-esteem. every incentive for self-hatred. luckily ron, possibly because he actually knew the guy in love with them. he said several times in the paper, these guys don't fit the stereotype. unfortunately ron's professor who was reese man, i forget his first name. david reason, he tries to argue back with, we also h

it was upsetting to read but kent is going to tell you a little bit more about the paper on that one . >> first off, ronnie was a nice guy. we all liked him and as you know when college kids have to do a paper you just have to do a paper so we were helping him out to do his paper and it was kind of amused by it because his first suggestion was that he do a paper on the social life of the freshman negroes at harvard in our class and it was suggested that he would interview us during the week and then go out with us on the weekends to parties and .ake notes and observe but the problem with that was that if he had chose to do that , he would have perhaps gotten a couple of paragraphs given the dearth and lack of social life that we had and i'll tell you about that later so a good thing he didn't do that but the thing he did do and again, it's very different when you read something now 2020 or 2019 versus 1959. he had one question which we really didn't think, when i read about it now i get ticked off about it but back then it wasn't and the question was if you had a chance to be born ag

professor cara smith is an epidemiologist, professor at kent state university of public health. she has been abiding by the ohio stay at home order there. so, doctor, professor, how will this impact rural areas? what are you concerned about, and are they prepared? >> right. so let's start with the last one. i don't think we are prepared. rural areas are a little bit different in that they don't have, by and large, the expertise that a lot of these urban areas have. in many places they may lack epidemiologists at all. they might not have people who are skilled in contact tracing and responding to these types of outbreaks. and most importantly, a lot of rural hospitals are closed over the last decade, is places where individuals can be treated are lacking in a lot of these areas. and then, of course, the equipment that goes with them, ventilators and people that are

we can speak now to tara smith, a professor of epidemiology at kent state university in ohio and peter chowka, a freelance political journalist who is in seattle. thank you for talking to us. regarding those comments at the end of last week, peter, how did you respond? well, the comments were mainly in response to the white house coronavirus task force meeting on thursday, which president trump got into musing out loud, back and forth with several of his experts on the stage. he had apparently seen a new study by the department of homeland security which found that ultraviolet light, a component of sunlight, played a positive role and destroyed the coronavirus in two minutes when it normally takes, normally lasts on a service for about 18 hours and by the way, there was another study along these lines put out by the university of

i think what kent —— one can sense.can sense the real change in coverage and anger for good reasons. sense the real change in coverage and angerfor good reasons. somehow in the messaging today it is not so much we are not getting the full picture but almost let the government doesn't quite know what's going on here and that does i think make us feel insecure. we will look at the daily mail, the same subject as we have been saying. let us show you the headline there. and the other papers say that was syrup .16% of nhs staff. —— 0.16%. it's interesting that you say the government is losing goodwill. arj if the government loses goodwill in a crisis, how does it get it back? it needs to show correct and to give straight answers to the public the questions asked which is how do we get out of this and how does testing play into it? otherwise it's a difficult situation. it's interesting if you look at opinion polls. this hasn't fed through from the media possibly to people eat yet people seem to be giving the government the be

kent is teaching students on a daily basis now.ten years ago, we were finding the tapes to be startling and r shocking in some respects when you hear nixon and johnson as well. if we played other kennedy tapes, you would hear more obscenities from jfk than you thought he uttered, but he would. that whole sense of what's public and what's private and what's acceptable anymore. private lives are being played out publically in ways that just would not have been the case before. the very private nature of what they're talking about here is i think partly what leads us to think of these materials as so extraordinary. now when you have decrees, when you have pronouncements, when you have potential presidential pardons coming out in public, the difference between public and private and the ability to play out the private lives in public, i think it changes the way we understand the past, we understand the presidency itself. certainly, what we now know about john f. kennedy i don't think could have happened. john f. kennedy could not have
