alexi they say it's not so course but look what i found it it's a fire in mansfield. so could it be that it belongs to one of those firefighters who fought the blaze at the nuclear power plants. then you have saluted no question for you that most of them died. and their gear was radioactive. thrown that it was destroyed almost immediately afterwards. what do you know that used to be an amateur theater here maybe it's there's got to be honest i feel we're stuck with a stick and you got any ideas where we could go next. well there used to be a library here you could check out the rangers profile cards. you know the city was very beautiful. it was meant to be kind of a role model for others. who like the best place communist society could ever be perfectly planned and constructed. rebuilt it was meant to be a paradise for those building communism. wait a minute i found a note inside this picture book it looks like a page from someone's diary this. is dated april the twenty fifth one hundred eighty six we're preparing an exuberant at the station will be bringing the react

it is lord mansfield's court. and a prisoner was being brought in. that is the image of a husband of a woman who had been constrained by him as well so in a way it is a doppelganger image of the with the court is to provide some constraint. he has now been constrained for having previously illegally constrain his wife. one thing i love about the an image as it ends on the cover is there you have the justices in london. and looking down at the jailers and they're bringing in the hapless prisoner who may actually be rightly held in this case by those jailer's but that is one of the things you learn on habeas corpus pleadings is that often prisoners are quite legally held. it is not a get out of jail free cards. >> what do you teach at the university? >> i teach british history to undergraduate and english legal history. kind of a survey course to undergraduates. and graduate students in early modern british history particularly -- i do that as well. >> windier find time to write? >> i mentioned in my book festival presentation file is not proud or emba

host: mansfield, texas. summer. caller: you mentioned the airlines.son there are so many problems with the airlines, people do not realize almost all of the maintenance is done in mexico and other south american countries. it has been contracted out. it used to be the republicans were all good christians, but now they are also the only patriots. they do not want any government, they want to contract out everything, whether it is the government or for business. that way there is no pension, health insurance. if people want to get the facts, go to politicalfact to see what the people are saying. i was caught up in that a few years ago. believe me, i am far from being a millionaire. the problem there, it was never set up to adjust for inflation. guest: great point. in fact, we attempted to get some attention to this when the tax cuts that were being pushed through by the bush of ministration by my republican colleagues -- we said, you are going to structure it so that we have more people in the amt. let's have that instead of having more tax cuts. i thin
