. >> major general marcia anderson, you were shy? >> i was kind of a bookworm in school and was much happier reading. i hated to be called on in class. i knew the answer, but i was not the one to be popping up to answer the teacher, and unfortunately, when you are one of the smartest kids in the class, and the teacher wants someone to give the right answer, you do get called on a lot. my palms were always sweaty, i would literally get physically ill when i had to stand up in class to answer a question or read a book report. over time, that has changed and the military is a big part of the rb that changed, because you're compelled to give briefings to people to give motivational talks to your soldiers. you have to put that all aside and either at some point learn how to do it or gut your way through it. >> you made a speech to the opportunity nation, i want to run 30 seconds of it, show you in your professional uniform and making a presentation. >> ok. my parents, my father, was a korean war veteran, and what he really wanted to do wh

marcia, starting with you. how are these cases alike and how are they different? >> well, they're different because they involve either different laws or different provisions within the constitution. they're alike because they all have to do, if you step back from them, with the proper role of the different branches of government as well as the relationship between the federal government and state governments. if you boil it down simply, they all have to do with power. who should exercise it properly under the constitution. >> ifill: in your experience covering the court, how unusual is it for all three branches of government to get supreme court review like this? >> i don't think it's unusual at all. but i think what's unusual about these three cases is the potential political ramifications they may have for the upcoming election. as well as issues that people really care about and could have an impact on individuals' lives. >> ifill: let's talk about that, jeff. how big a political impact does the almost accidental collision of these three cases have on this cou

marcia divorced him in 1981. began that next summer. >> maybe if i would have killed her, i wouldn't have killed the others. that was the cause of my pain. >> ridgway tried to lay the blame for his murderous rampage on his failed second marriage, which sheriff reichert rejected. >> there's no reason that you can give that can justify what you did. >> the accepted theory on serial killers is they can't stop killing or even slow down. that's why when the bodies of young prostitutes were no longer being discovered in clusters around seattle in the late '80s, many thought the green river killer had moved on to another city, or had been put in prison for some other crime. gary ridgway had not moved on but he had changed. and the reason was surprising. in february of 1985, gary ridgway met the woman who would become his third wife, judith. at first he said the old fantasies returned. but as was the case with his first two wives, ridgway knew that he'd be the prime suspect. ridgway says his new wife was loving and depen

cross talk to me that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it but first marcia is this a major milestone in american foreign policy you know i think as far as getting the troops out it is a milestone with only a few thousand troops waiting to depart from iraq by december thirty first president barack obama's address last week officially spell the end to a nearly nine year military mission the pullout fulfills one of obama's key electoral promise says and winds down the war that has cost the lives of nearly four thousand five hundred go soldiers and more than six hundred thousand iraqis despite iraq's still fragile security and this could be the first real lol in violence after four decades of political and social turbulence this is an extraordinary achievement one made possible by the hard work and sacrifice of the men and women who have the courage to serve and there's a lesson to learn from that a lesson about our character as a nation. but there are more lessons to learn than the one about the american fs people on both sides of the fence have been left and b

go see marcia, diane, the rest of the group.ake another brick off that wall today. >> solano offers several therapy programs, but this one is unique. it asks inmates to share personal stories with a very difficult audience, their fellow inmates. they start at the beginning, their childhood. last week, convicted murderer jack mcgarey shared his story with the group. he talked about his traumatic childhood and the road that led to his heinous crime. >> the crimes were not okay because they had a difficult or challenging family life or childhood. this is about understanding where you come from and holding yourself responsible for what you have done. choices you've made. >> today is inmate haro's turn to begin his story. >> so today what we have to do is we had you do your time line of events in your life. everybody good to go on that? okay. who would like to go first? all right, eddie. >> as a native american and a son, the task is difficult for haro. he had planned to be home from prison in time to take care of his ailing father,

i don't mean see them naked like you're marcia brady trying to get over nervousness, i mean see throughen you're among family, everything is coded. when someone says you just know everything, it means you're really obnoxious or when mom says can you please pass the salt? it means this dish sucks, i wish we did christmas at my house like we did when you were little and everything was perfect. once you realize what people are saying you can learn how to avoid responding. number four, invite outsider, i always thought family will behavior better when nonfamily is present. everyone's got a friend or two or three who is a christmas refugee. invite them. that's the true christmas spirit muzzling the family passive aggressive olympics. number five, deal with the wrinkle in time. accept that when family gets together, we magically and tragically resort to the old social arrangements. whatever roles you played in the family within the unit in high school, they will be played again or they will be rebelled against. i didn't come to this table to answer your resentment from 20 years ago, but here
