now lou gehrig developed als at the peak of his career. he had been an outstanding hitter for many seasons, .330, .-- .350 batting average. and he first noticed the disorder when he noticed that his swing was not as sharp as it used to be. a terrific hitter. he noticed all of a sudden that while he was seeing the ball perfectly well he wasn't getting his bat around fast enough to really meet it effectively. and i think it's wonderful that we have griffen and peter here because these are the lou gehrigs of our round table. >> rose: they're athletes. >> they're fantastic athletes. they're extremely skilled. griffen is an outstanding athlete in many categories. now an outstanding javelin thrower, and he first noticed his difficulty which is sma in the course of seeing and an interference with his athletic performance. and his mother beth is with us. and she can actually describe the early evidence that he had this disease. with peter who is a phenomenal baseball player, comparable in many ways to lou gehrig, he also noticed it in his athletic

this week lou's been thinking about dandelions. here's author and educator lou heckler. >> my son is not a little boy any more. he just turned 40. i was smiling the other day when i thought about a special moment when he was about the age his older daughter now is. he came into the house and handed my wife a bunch of dandelions he had picked in the back yard. "these are so sweet," she beamed as he looked on with pride, "but they look kind of smashed." "i know," he responded immediately. i stomped on every one to make sure there were no bees. as a business speaker and writer, i think all the time about what business is really about. i know it's about finding a need and filling it. but the older i get-- maybe i should say the more experienced i get-- i think it's really about stomping on dandelions. the people who do business with you, customers, clients, patients, whatever you call them, they're out there in the backyard of their lives and they also wonder which dandelions have bees on them. your job-- my job-- is not just to make a

mary lou, can you stand up? >> she was in charge. [ applause ] >> don't you want to tell that quick story, mary lou? >> no, i'm not going to tell that story. >> anyway, as jack mentioned, we went on the eisenhowers' plane and we had ten men and one woman, and the woman was mary lou, which is quite interesting, and we did drop an engine there. but getting to liberia, president tolbert, it was the inauguration, and of course he invited president nixon. president nixon couldn't go so he sent mrs. nixon. >> bill, if i could, before we get to that story, i want to stay on one more thing on the vice presidential years. we have some great pictures that are going to go with that and i don't want to spoil it. i want to just ask don briefly to talk to us about the trip to south america and specifically in ka iraq das where the nixon mothered cade was attacked. >> that's the centerpiece of the whole vice presidential years. it was a trip that the vice president really didn't want to do. he felt that it was needed and so fo

mary lou, can you stand up? >> she was in charge. do you want to tell a quick story, mary lou? >> no. well, anyway, the eisenhower is playing, and we had ten men and one woman. and the one woman was mary lou. which is quite interesting. and we did drop an engine there. but getting into liberia. of course, he invited president nixon, of course. president nixon couldn't go. so he sent his best. >> i want to stay on one more thing from the vice presidential years. we have great pictures to go with that. can you talk to us about where the nixon motorcade was attacked. >> that's the centerpiece of the whole vice presidential years. it was a trip that the vice president really didn't want to do. but the state department and president eisenhower asked him to do it. so he did.

and i love this country but we are too violent, lou, you cannot deny that. >> bill: here now is lou dobbsnson believes that violence is a way of life in some precincts. is that what she is saying? >> i infer that there is a rationale about the culture or subculture that is the reason for gun violence. i reject that personally. >> bill: let's explore it a little bit further though. she says that the violence in chicago which has very tough gun law but doesn't really enforce it by the way. isn't the fault of individuals who are shooting people. it's the fault of society who made them shoot people through deprivation and oppression. isn't that what she is saying? >> i think that is in large measure what she is saying. and that poverty the context. the action that a racial base may be the context or the crime. all of that may be contributory. the reality is if we are not enforcing our laws. if we are not setting certain standards and enforcing those sanders as a society. we are going -- we are going to watch this chaos continue. okay. now, the colorado massacre shooter, he wasn't deprived. th

tonight, lou's been thinking about the art of the elevator speech. here's author and educator lou heckler. >> do you ever have trouble so what is your elevator speech? this is the description you give when someone meets you on an elevator, or at the grocery store, a school function with your children or grandchildren, at your place of worship. what do you say? a long-time colleague of mine suggests that you combine a brief naming of your job with an example of a recent project. i might say, i am a business speaker and writer. just recently i spoke at a major bank conference and talked about how to get the best from people around you. one of my favorite elevator speeches came from a friend in california who is a successful financial advisor. he says, i'm a financial advisor, but what i really do is help people sleep at night. have some fun this next week by asking the people who work for and with you write down how they'd like to describe what your organization does. limit each person to one sentence. i can't wait to hear your elevator speech. i'm lou

this week lou's been thinking about the three "c"s. here's author and educator lou heckler. >> i get lots of online surveys from airlines and hotels when i travel. they ask about the aspects of their service they want to improve. we all need people to help us grow and improve? if the feedback is helpful and constructive and not the bashing and smashing i read in so many online forums. instead, concentrate on the three "c"s of feedback. comfort. sometimes we just need someone to give us a knowing back pat and just listen. we aren't looking for solutions from them? just to listen. clarify. this person says to us, "i have noticed your actions in certain situations and they aren't going to be helpful to you. let me show you how it's coming across." confront. yes, this is the toughest assignment for all. this is someone who cares enough about you to say, "just a minute, i think you are way off- base here and i want to tell you this behavior needs to stop." i can't say if those three "c"s will make us champions, but i do know that they will
