who wants to talk about laos? in his opinion. laos is important to oceans and to a lot of other people. it became important to us at one point. it was not important to khrushchev. he did not want to talk about arms control very much because it was an arcane subject that no prime minister should be dealing with. at the end of the first day of the meeting he said to kennedy, we have not talked about berlin. we have to talk about berlin. i'm going to sign a peace treaty. i want to tell you what i'm going to do. kennedy nodded. they had dinner together. the next day they met again and started talking about laos again. khrushchev got impatient and they finally got to berlin when there was an hour left that was all, at the end of the second day. then, khrushchev was beside himself. he threatened, they said they were going to sign a peace treaty, he said allied rights would vanish. you have to deal with the gdr. they'd have to recognize this was going to be the new world. kennedy reacted rather firmly. he said, look, you have to recogni

thinking ahead -- we visit a forest protection scheme in laos. ever wondered what a real-estate bubble looks like? we visit a ghost town in china. when you pick up a mobile phone, chances are it contains something people are willing to go to war after. the democratic republic of the condo has some of the richest mines. along with gold, silver, and copper, it is used in the manufacturing of many gadgets we love. frank paulson wanted to know what impact his addiction has on the people that live there, so he went to come and go and found some uncomfortable truths. >> we are in a sales convention for mobile phones. behind the presentations is a sinister story of the appalling conditions at a cold and mine in the democratic republic of congo. while phone maker nokia is based in finland, the suffering and exploitation in the heart of africa goes on. what is the connection between mobile phones, minerals, and war? a danish journalist investigate the issue in a gripping documentary film. kirk's the war in the condo has social and ethnic origins, but very

we're not talking about laos. this is berlin and this is a different kind of subject. we have to be very careful and manage our policies very carefully. belowed and that was the end of it. during linch kennedy said to his staff, i cannot let it go like. i've got to meet with him one more time. although the staff said you're going to be late for your trip to ireland which is a very important trip, of course, kennedy said, no. i want to meet with him one more time so they did meet one more time and again, he went through the whole thing on berlin quickly and brutally. and kennedy tried to resist and couldn't. at the end he said, it's going to be a cold winter. that was the mark of that summitt. after that, he met privately with scotty who was a diplomatic correspondent for the "new york times." they met in a dark room so no one else would know they were meeting. and he said -- this has been the toughest thing in my life. i've never met a man like that. how can i deal with him? one reporter said that kennedy had turned green at the end of the meeting. he was obviously ver

to do so here they virtually destroyed what amounted to a stone age primitive society of northern laos littered with people still buying and people are living in caves several years trying to survive. i interviewed them a lot in 1970 then expanded to cambodia that was the most intense bombing in history following kissinger immortal phrase anything that flies against anything that moves. those were the orders handed down by kissinger from his boss and a brief period of just a couple years that we now know reached the level of all allied bombing in the pacific region during world war ii including the two atom bombs on the poor peasant society. lot of consequences to that. very ugly once but it finally more or less ended but it didn't. the facts of the chemical warfare continued and will continue. this very quickly turned into a crop description -- destruction, a major war crimes in he can tell you more than i can but just to add one more word, there are serious consequences to not paying attention to what we have done in the past. that if we are incapable of facing up to our own history

i seem to recall that the domino theory was proven partly correct when laos and cambodia fell, but i do not want to press that too far. another downside is a 400 space underground parking garage that will increase existing traffic congestion at the intersection of washington and the embarcadero. finally, there is the adverse impact on community recreational facilities. the plan, as it currently exists, white out all nine existing tennis courts, leaving no tennis courts at this location. we endorse this study prepared by the asian neighborhood design group. thank you. >> good afternoon, members of the board. mary murphy, counsel to one of the project sponsors to this project. as you have heard, the port is one of the sponsors, and this is a public-private partnership, and i represent the other side of it. there is also the developer of piers 1 and 5, which many people like. i very rarely have to come to say who the project sponsor is, but based on the testimony today, i need to clarify this for you. you have heard a lot about the current owners. the project sponsor does not own the go

the bombing extended to northern laos which had nothing to do with the war in vietnam, mainly because it was a lot of air force planes were idle during bombing. here they virtually destroyed what amounted to a virtually stone age society, primitive society in northern laos littered with unexploded ordnance, people still dying. people were literally living in caves for several years trying to survive. i interviewed a lot of them back around 1970. then it expanded to cambodia which was actually the most intense bombing in history following henry kissinger's immortal phrase, "anything that flies against anything that moves." those were the orders handed down by kissinger from his boss to the air force and the bombing, a brief period just a couple of years, we now know reached the level of old allied bombing in the pacific region, the entire pacific region during world war ii including the two atom bombs. all in a remote peasant, poor peasant society. a lot of consequences to that. very ugly ones. but it finally more or less ended. but it didn't end, as fred pointed out. the effects of th

i was traveling 4,000 miles across tibet from western china to laos and on to kathmandu and we happened to past everest when the debacle happed that john crack har wrote about in his book into thin air. d the next fall i was back on the east face of everest in the gamma valley with my close friend daniel taylor who is the grandson of medical missionaries in tibet and his father happened to be a good friend of howard somerville, now his closest friend on e mountain. and we got caught in unusual snow conditions and thought we might get stuck there for the winter, actually. and dannel in his way began to speak of these englishman in tweeds who read shakespeare to each other at 23,000 feet and i became completely enamoured so i had from the very start this sense of the war. maybe because i'm canadian, because my grandfather was on the front. and i sent a note to my agent and to k notch and it resulted in a generous contract and three months later the body of mall ory is found by my friend conrad anchor. and there were ten books by fall and i went to knopff to my wonderful editor and said lo
