lawrence probably thought he was the most likely one and, in fact, the story is told that lawrence and arthur compton went to groves and told groves that if and when oppenheimer doesn't work out, we expect you'll come to us an we'll run the laboratory. in the case of groves, groves knew the important thing was if you could find somebody like open e oppenheimer, he called the greatest bunch of prima donnas ever assembled in one place that that was the important thing. groves could administer the laboratory himself. the important thing is to find somebody who had the charisma and the attraction that oppenheimer did. next slide, please. this is the mobilization of the lab after pearl harbor and as lewis had said that it was security consistent of a law student who was chosen by lawrence and equipped with a 410 shotgun and put at the base of psycho tron hill and told to stop anybody he didn't recognize. i just came from livermore, the 50th anniversary today. i have a new appreciation of how much that world has changed. how much that world is over. lawrence was the man who organized the eff

lawrence argue that's point, too. lawrence will be chosen by eisenhower in the summer of 1758 to represent the united states at the geneva talks on nuclear testing bull the lead to the test ban. a lot of people assume he went there to sabotage the talks. i think actually that he, and this is really from the evidence of people who were, there he was actually a believer in putting an end to nuclear testing. i think that he did undergo a kind of conversion experience, if you will, near the end of his life. but he was such a conflicted figure by this time that he comes -- he has another colitis attack. he comes back. he is operated on at stanford. they discover in the course of the operation that his circulatory system is basically compromised. and he dies of circulatory shock. just shortly thereafter. shock age of 57. next slide. this is my oppenheimer out to pasture picture. but oppenheimer does -- this is at his brother's ranch in colorado. and he does go. he's director for the institute of advanced study at princeton

he is the theorist as opposed to the experimentalist of lawrence. the man at berkeley when he was teaching him took sandscript so he could read the hindu classics in the original. a man very much other worldly. almost exactly the opposite, in fact, of lawrence who was the meat and potatoes man the experimentalist, the man most at ease with a solder gun in his hand as opposed to oppen imhere.

thank you, lawrence.g up, next, in the rewrite, the plea to spare the life of an admitted killer. a white teenager who drove his car over a black man deliberately to kill him. his life was saved in a mississippi court yesterday by the sister of the black man who pled for the life of the killer of her brother. if you are one of the millions of men who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your monthly prescription.

and the entry to the saint lawrence river. the point is though, the british military in acadia was weak. they only had a few hundred men. and even though they would have liked to have removed the french catholics if they could have in 1713, they did not. and they found it more politic and wiser to allow them to remain, and they did remain. and basically over the next several decades, the french population grew. it had a very high birth rate, higher than the number of deaths even though the population was small. nevertheless, it was growing by the time we're talking about in the 1950s, there were about 13,000 french colonistin area of acadia and cape breton island and this island which was called by the isle st. jean and now is prince edward island and in surrounding areas. there were about 13,000 french. well, a couple of things happened to lead to the main that is the expulsion of the acadians. please. >> when did you say there were 13,000 french? >> the population reached 13,000 french colonists in nova scotia by the 1750s.

lawrence?ve got the erks around the bay area this morning -- the earthquakes around the bay area this morning. we have nicer weather to come. more on that when we come back. >>> we have breaking news to report. we've had two separate earthquakes here in the bay area. the first, at 5:33. it was a 4.0. according to the usgs. and then a second quake at 6:03. a little less, at 2.0. but people really reporting that they felt this one, very strongly, on this monday morning. we're hearing that it happened near richmond. we actually have chopper 5 over the area there. and one of the locations, where a lot of people might have felt it, was the mira vista country club. these are live pictures showing you that area. we are getting phone calls from all over the bay area. as far as napa, and to san francisco, to lafayette, people saying that they did feel it, they described it as a jolt. grace and i did feel it on the set here as we were anchoring. >> we are hearing a lot of pots and pans banging around. a

>> you know, lawrence, you're absolutely right.llenging because when you look at what the police did, they came and they took zimmerman's word for the gospel of what happened and they didn't look at anything objectively to look at maybe, just maybe, trayvon martin might be innocent. just maybe his life might be worth taking a background check on the shooter, taking a drug and alcohol analysis, not letting him walk away with physical evidence on his body after talking to him for a couple of hours, even though he just shot this unarmed boy who had a bag of skit tells. >> reverend, i want to play your interview with mr. bonaparte where he talks about his own experience of problems with the police, what he calls walking while black. >> i have been found guilty of walking while black. i have been stopped by the police officers. i believe simply because i am plaque. i realize that. i have sons and grandsons. we want to make sure the martin family gets justice. >> reverend, that's the sen sa built that you want at the city but do you thin

lawrence mentioned fog may be an issue. across some parts of the bay area.. this is nice and quiet and it looks great, all the way to the coliseum and out to downtown oakland. and southbound 880 is fine, toward hayward and the headlights are moving southbound by the way and some of the slow spots, antioch starting to show brake lights. and pittsburgh bay point area still looks okay and coming out of the altamont pass, some changing color on the sensors. not enough to impact the drive time. still looks okay toward the dublin interchange. and downtown san jose, starting to get a little busier, now that we've reached our 5:30 hour. and overall no mayor delays to cupertino and the bay bridge. maybe a couple of cars waiting in one of the cash lanes, but the metering lights, they remained off, and the peninsula drive, 101 and 280, the live traffic sensors are picking up top speeds through san mateo county, and if you're headed to downtown san francisco, your east bay drive times, not a one in the yellow, so nothing to slow you down really on westbound 580. and the

. >>> let's check in with lawrence. a little cooler and wetter. >> scattered showers around the bay area and that's the case at least in the morning hours. but i think it will be the winds the big story by the afternoon. hi-def doppler picking up on some of those scattered showers as a weak cold front slides on by here. but boy, what a difference as we medical toward the latter part of the day. gusts at sfo of 44 miles per hour. expecting some gusts this afternoon as high as 55 miles per hour especially out toward the coastline and over the coastal mountains. northwesterly winds a good 25 to 35 miles per hour. so it is going to blow. it is going to be much colder than normal as these temperatures for highs only about 54 degrees in pacifica if we're lucky 55 in san francisco and 56 in livermore. a very cool brisk day around the bay area. the showers ending early this morning. and then we start to dry things out. looking toward tomorrow, the weather improves and by thursday and friday we have offshore winds going again. t

so here we have a sheriff who ignored pressure from the lawrence county g.o.p. to step down after the affair surfaced we have a sheriff who plans to run for his fourth term in the upcoming primary as a republican and the pieces start falling into place right back to the pledge itself remaining faithful to spouses in the only know where the parts you promise to oppose affirmative action also kind of interesting right considering the lawrence county is the home of a controversial neo nazi clothing store run by a former k.k.k. leader the store sells white robes as well as other southern memorabilia but now i'm sure the race has nothing to do with that oppose affirmative action clause obviously not and the ban on premarital sex well i mean there's no words for that so for trying to make out of the side an archaic hearing sledge then claiming that it wasn't mandatory when critics point out that it was illegal and actually just doing it all the possibly trying to keep certain candidates off the ballot the lawrence county g.o.p. is tonight's told time when. our guys it

in fact,, lawrence's friend soon raise the pundits on his ship called the uss lawrence named after the late capt. and it was sown with his famous phrase and became the model. ironically a horrific loss a hero and a rallying cry. i do not have been a video of the war of 1812. but in my mind's eye i can envision a book journalist how hollywood dennis and the highlights would have to include the battle of baltimore, a crucial conflict with the land and the sea, them bombardment of those who were held captive on a ship. he recorded on the first publication the defense of fort mchenry but somebody else renamed it the "star spangled banner." also the smoke from the battle of lake erie still in the air to dotting in no to the secretary of four unused and willow peoples from his pocket. he has met the enemy and they are ours. and then there was a surge wielding a saber. then jump to the president or the dolly awaits james return which is the lead time in american history when they have been at the front. only mr. madison did their return. instead retreating soldiers fled to the town dolly look

here's elizabeth with traffic. >> thanks, lawrence. the roads have really been a mess so far this morning. numerous flooding reports coming in and they are still coming in now. chp working more than two dozen different incidents all across the bay area as you saw from anne makovec's live report. we have had trees down. all the accidents we have seen so far pretty much noninjury and they have been clearing them pretty quickly out of lanes so once again, here's a live look across the golden gate bridge, where it's obviously pretty slick all across the deck. elsewhere, so coming through marin county we were following an accident southbound 101 by the waldo tunnel. it was already cleared to the right shoulder but there may still be some activity out there so you may find a few brake lights, a little bit of slowing. the nimitz 880 obviously pretty windy as you pass the coliseum towards downtown oakland. we had flooding reports in the northbound lanes. bay bridge no delay and no metering lights so overall everything looks okay right now but

and that right there, jennifer lawrence.out the film, but how she trained for all these action-packed fighting scenes again. we've seen the film. and there she is, out into the crowd. she looks terrific, as well. i'll tell you what. what a movie it is. what action it provides. and there's going to be some in times square in a minute. >> when i was talking outside, i was seeing flashes to the side. what is going on? that's what was going on. >> yeah. it is a big day here. >>> plus, this woman, everybody. we're going to switch the shot now. this woman you're about to see, she thinks she's planning just a simple get-together with friends. well, ha, ha, ha. she is about to get the surprise of her life. there he is, emeril, will be doing the cooking for her. really fun. that's coming up. >> and her girlfriends, that she was cooking lunch for, they have no idea either. wait until you see. >>> first, our weekend anchor, dan harris, with the news for us. >> good morning, once again, everybody. let's kick it off with a big, new devel

that's true, lawrence. mean, i suppose you can step back and look at it and say, this was the tight race that everybody expected. but the order of finish means something. and had mitt romney actually prevailed in one or both of these contests, he would have been able to say, okay, let's move on. i'm the presumptive nominee. clearly this has eluded him once again. i think the story is really more about newt gingrich at this point because they have demonstrated clearly that there is enough of a basis for resisting romney in this party. the question for newt gingrich, is it going to be about ego? is it going to be about getting a conservative nominee? the gingrich race all along has been about ego. one expects that will continue, and he is certainly being mitt romney's best friend in this competition. >> chuck todd is back with us. chuck, what did it for rick santorum in mississippi? >> look, i think one of the problems -- and i apologize, somebody was talking in my ear in the middle of your question, so i'll

the american captain, james lawrence, berks buffer. even as she slowed, the ship and entered firing range. standing order worf for his crews to shoot when the guns bore on the second port of the chesapeake. den 14 was the first to fire and the second report was heard from the british frigate before the gunners on the chesapeake reply. thereafter the air thundered and then the next six minutes the ships exchanged three full broadsides. dimly heard above the deafening boom of the canon was it crackles and pops of small fire from muskets, rifles. the hellish cannon fire and low blasted into the decks and holes of both ships. don't try, fire into her quarters maintained and the main deck, quarterdeck and codec. kill the men and the ship is yours. on both ships many men fail. a rifleman high in the rigging shot helmsmen of the chesapeake. the man who took his place soon met the same fate. a round shot beheaded a lieutenant in an explosion of bone and brains. two midshipmen were killed outright and another had his leg blown off. in the openi

this is a fairly arcane area, lawrence.s don't like to be near controversial or potentially offensive programming. and they will instruct people quietly, please don't put us there. and advertisers move in and out of this all the time. we just don't hear about this. this one we happen to be hearing about. >> and do you think that two weeks is an amount of time where limbaugh and the syndicators can figure out what their next step is? >> sure. and i think they're now formulating strategy. if you notice the statement late last week when rush refuses to let longtime advertiser who had been with him since he was a local radio talent in sacramento on kfbk, refused that let that advertiser back on the show. that was actually handled by an outside crisis management person. and that's kind of the first time we've seen that. so i think you're seeing them try to get a handle on it. in fact, my headline in the newsletter tomorrow morning is, a rush to chill. that rush limbaugh and premier just want to cool things down for a while and l

lawrence karnow, ladies and gentlemen. >> thank you.scattered showers around the bay area this morning. it looks like it is already beginning to taper off a bit but the winds kicking up already behind this cold front and that will be the main story for today. out over the bay skies beginning to clear out. this is going to be one of those cool crisp and brisk days around the bay area. temperatures right now mainly into the 50s. the winds whipping up 20, 30- plus miles per hour already going to get stronger as the day goes on. around the state early-morning showers in sacramento, snow in the high country winter weather advisories at 5,000 feet. it's going to be rough getting into the high country. windy conditions after a few showers, strong gusts. and it looks like this will be the brisk day and then things settle down tomorrow. today we are looking at wind advisories going up at noon. gusts up to 50 miles per hour at the coast and mountaintops. winds sustained a good 25 to 35 miles per hour. so so windy today. we begin to clear things o

romney's been hurt badly it seems in this. >> i think you are right, lawrence. i think that mitt romney hasn't become a better candidate. he hasn't improved as a candidate in terms of how he carries himself, in terms of his confidence in public, certainly in terms of his message. mark is an expert in messages and i think he would agree that mitt romney doesn't have a message. he doesn't have a narrative or a convincing or appealing message for how ease he's going to change the country. it is too thee credit call and gets off of his game too quickly to attack through super pacs and so forth. it poexed his weaknesses on the right wing of the party. he hasn't made that sale to them. he's hurt his credible and his standing without getting the votes of the people he's been appealing to. >> how can bill crystal think that every day a republican is campaigning against mitt romney on health care? is somehow in the end a good day for mitt romney. >> i heard an interesting theory from someone who worked for bob dole. the argument goes like, this bob dole wrapped things up

>> all of the above, lawrence. that our right-wing republicans are taking, particularly males who don't have a clue about what it takes to be a woman. obviously they have some type of hate going on with women. i would say to men who have mothers, men who have daughters, men who just love and respect women, that this track that we're going on in this country is absolutely outrageous. so, yes, i was motivated by the greater sex, and since poverty doesn't matter to them, and educating our children certainly doesn't matter to them, only the regulation of a woman's womb, i thought, my goodness, we need to spread the love to men and make sure we guide them to make the right decisions. lawrence, we should be absolutely embarrassed as a nation that we are going backwards in time instead of forward. and to treat women as if we're feebleminded and uncapable of making decisions for our bodies is shameful. >> let's listen to the global per perspective that secretary of state hillary clinton gave this over the weekend. >> why e
