mansfield? >> hazmat the 1980's, 1985, in and out of the county jail, and i graduated from the prison system in that 1985. i somehow had the state -- the sense to go to the lynsey street in 1995. i became part of the process trying to afford others the same opportunities i got. i feel strongly and passionately people need to be given the opportunity to help themselves. there will be tremendous changes and a lot of volatility in the city, and i think some big changes have to happen . i think i bring a different perspective and insider knowledge. i currently work at ucsf in global health sciences. i participate in a master's program. i sat on the citizens' advisory board for the central subway and i am in your district. supervisor kim: i know, thank you for being on that board. >> this is my passion. i still work with the people at the lansing street. we u facilitate groups and work with residents when they reached three months prior to leaving clancy street. they start looking jobs -- looking for

mansfield sits down and he's a very mild-mannered man. he just sort of start talking about plato and courage. i think those women were sort of like where are we going from here, i thought we were going to talk about gloria steinem or that we would talk about some sexist things that we could start harassing. my point is that so many of the professors that i had, i appreciated the fact that their politics or not part of the curriculum. >> you say that in 1994 that there was -- they cannot restrict the age that you had to retire. we have to retire in this country of 65. it was originally passed in 1980's. schools got to 94, was in des? >> has exacerbated the tenure problem. many people say to me why get rid of tenure, why not just to institute mandatory retirement? what you have on campus now is a lot of aging baby boomer professors who are not really doing their jobs very well. they're just kind of waiting until their 401k gets big enough they feel comfortable retiring. if every time the market takes a hit, they say if i will stick it out o

i should not say, but certainly harvey mansfield is well over 70 now. many of my professors at the time were certainly well over 65. they had great experience and happened to be good teachers. why should we arbitrarily kick them out just because some people decide they are not going to do their job anymore? >> if i have tenure at the school, does that really mean they cannot fire me? >> it is technically not supposed to mean that, but i have talked to many, administrators who have said it is almost never worth it to fight that battle. we mentioned at churchill a moment ago. when i started this book, a result of was not a point to mention more churchill on every page. -- ward churchill on every page. he will be old news. the week the book was published, the colorado state supreme court decided to hear his case. six years after he was fired, he is still fighting this battle. you are the president, hank brown, who has stepped down. he must wake up every morning and think this man will not give up. it cost the university so much money to get rid of these pe

david mansfield gave brilliant arguments with her when growth in what we were not doing bigot nobody listened. here in washington d.c. i gathered some of these people around the table with ambassador holbrooke, general petraeus, the senior officials kindly listened. but in the end it seemed to make no difference at all. why was it that these people who have so much experience let me pause on that. you need to contrast this probably 54 earners like that and those who turned up after 2001 had none of those experiences we served if we were lucky, in the british embassy you do o 10 or two year two lourdes. you are extremely restricted it is difficult to spend a night in the village house and do not speak plume a and assailed by an incredible amount of demands but you are diplomat working in an embassy you spend time sending emails back in dealing with a german request. even if you are on the front line talking to somebody who is a company commander, what are you really getting out of the afghan experience? you are the afghan amid -- afghan major maybe you don't like afghans but you don't

he was a frat boy at mansfield university in pennsylvania, planning a career in academia, when a college administrator suggested he apply for a job with the fbi. >> soufan: when he said that, i was like... as if he was telling me, "you're going to be, like, in the circus, or you're going to be, you know, a racecar driver." i mean, "fbi? what are you talking about," you know? people were laughing. my friends... >> logan: your frat brothers. >> soufan: yeah, were laughing. i'm like, "they will send you back the application." >> logan: a little bit of a challenge. >> soufan: i was like, "okay. we'll see about that." >> logan: in 1997, after getting a master's degree in international relations, he joined the fbi's new york office as a rookie counter-terrorism agent, and he was little more than three years on the job when he was made the case agent for the fbi's investigation of the attack on the u.s.s. "cole." in march 2002, the u.s. captured its first high-value terrorist operative, abu zubaydah, after a fire-fight in pakistan. ali soufan and his partner were called in to assist in the cia

>> jeanne mansfield, thank you very much for joining us tonight. thank you very much for telling your story. >> yeah, thank you. >> you can have the last word online at my blog. "the rachel maddow show" is up next. >> i'm glad you got that interview. >>> thank you for staying with us for the next hour. quick visual test. you ready? on what is this a picture of? look closely. is this a picture of a vase or two faces staring at each other? which one do you see? what do you see here? do you see a little cartoony saxophone player guy with a big nose? or do you see a young woman's face? which one do you see? i can only see the images in white when i squint at these things. i don't know that means. this an artsy drawing of a man's face with big eyes or is this the word liar written in curses ive if you look at it on the diagonal. this drove our segment producer nuts today. he can only see the old woman in this image. the old woman. he can see. the young woman, however, he does not believe me it's there. can you see the young woman or just the old woman?

so i took government classes with harvey mansfield, with peter berkwiths and with a couple of other number of professors who i think would classify themselves as conservatives. but what i really liked about the professors that i had was that they left politics at the door. i mean, i took classes on spakespeer and plato and even harvey, who was a well-known conservative outside of the classroom, we didn't sit around discussing republican talking points or something like that. in fact, i remember his last sort of popular book was on manliness. and i took a grad wult seminar with him, i think it was my senior year, and a number of kind of let's call them radical feminists showed up. i think they wanted to disrupt the class and get their views heard and protest, you know, the idea that we would even have such a class. and harvey sits down and he's a very sort of mild-manrd guy and he just sort of talking about plato and courage. and i think these women were just sort of like, where do we go from here? i thought we were going to talk about gloria steinham or about some sexist pigs that we could

will look at it differently from news reports, because i spent august in marietta and toledo and mansfieldnd dayton, ohio, and the talk wasn't about cutting the budgets. as important as it is to balance the budget, and about pay-fors and all that, the talk was about what are you going to do about job creation? the republicans heard it unless they were only at their country clubs, republicans heard the discussions too and the admonishments, if they will oppose anything but tax cuts for the rich and war, and they only want to pay for disaster relief and tax cuts for workers, which is a good thing, not a good thing. it is -- i think they're going to have to govern a little differently. the other thing is after -- as we begin to do this, there are things we can do that don't cost money. i appreciate the money going to states to preserve teachers and keep teachers and cops on the beat, teachers in classrooms and all that, but we're going to work on curbs scurrency with ch. the president can enforce trade rules as he has done better than his predecessors and that directly creates jobs. i've seen

real quickly, there was in mansfield, ohio, in my hometown, two doctors started a clinic in the innere, and a poor white zip code and they look at the birthrate three times the national average. they hired community workers, high school graduates, sent them out into these communities getting people to the doctor, getting people to eat better. finding the pregnant women, they dropped the low baby birthrate to just below the national average in just a few years. creating 60 healthier children that you would have had otherwise. medicaid only paid for the doctors visits, they had to raise private money for the rest. those kinds of things are in the health care bill to begin to cut costs in that way that everyone can agree on. and we took some 150 republican amendments, i remember, during the health care mark-up and the health committee, and some of them were about delivery reform. so my point is, there are a lot of those things in the bill we've passed that will becoming law in the years and months ahead. and i think we'll begin to squeeze a lot of these excessive costs. people leaving ho

clairesville, places like cleveland, places like dayton, places like mansfield, places like springfield where in my state alone the cities and communities with proud, proud industrial heritages, where people had real opportunity to join the middle class after they graduated from high school, they could go and be trained and work in manufacturing and usually buy a home, usually buy a car, usually send their child to college. my wife was the -- is the daughter of a since-deceased utility worker at ashtabula power plant in northeast ohio. she and her two younger sisters and brother were sent to -- were able to go to, in her case, kent state, other universities, in part paid for by her father's work in manufacturing, if you will, his union card and assistance from government pell grants and all that we're able to do so that kids didn't graduate with huge debt the way they too often do now. the trade -- the trade deficit with china through july, 2011, totaled $160 billion just in those months, up from from $145 billion over the same period in 2010. we debate the budget deficit here as we sho

go to springfield, ohio, go to ashtabula, go to lima, mansfield, chilicothe, go to zenia. look at what's happened to them. often in smaller communities -- the senator from montana knows this. often in smaller communities, husband and wife both work at a plant. jackson, ohio. i was walking a picket line with some workers that were locked out and then the plant ultimately closed. the number of people i saw, husband and wife both working at this manufacturing plant, each making about $12 or $13 or $14 an hour. they are middle class with combined income, this plant moves overseas, their family income is wiped out. it happens over and over in small towns and it happens in dayton and it happens in cleveland and it happens in columbus and philly and pittsburgh and harrisburg. it happens in small towns, it happens in big cities. and then we see this free trade at any costs crowd come to the senate floor and say if we only had trade promotion authority so we could do more of this because this just worked so well. free trade has worked so well for our country. why have we lost the
