margaret your son. at first this but grabbed my attention because of my english canadian heritage, but ultimately i just like the way the letters slowly reveal the story of how these two families intertwined and about this child evacuation program during world war ii that i was completely unaware of until i read this book. i think it would have appeal to high-school students as well as to public libraries. thank you. [applause] >> hi. i'm hilary albert. my books are now filled with lots of pretty pictures. if anything the will but that has lots of pictures, the most disturbing images. these books are meant to be referred to repeatedly. they have something to offer everyone, something -- sometimes it may be for the high-school teacher, and sometimes is for the world leader, but the thing they have in common is that they teach a lesson, and that's important. nothing more important than giving knowledge. whether the reader walks away with the same knowledge is a different matter. each book challenges the r

michelle dunn, welcome back. >> thank you, margaret. big a move is this on mohammed morsi's part and why did he do it? >> president morsi did this to roll back restrictions on his power that were put in place just before he was declared the winner of the presidential election in june. so he has overturned this supplementary constitutional declaration that gave the military broad political powers, and he also, of course, replaced the powerful defense minister who was in his job for more than 20 years, and the chief of staff as well as several others: the commander of the air force, the navy, et cetera. there was a whole bunch of military replacements. >> warner: if you look at it in the big picture, is is this president morsi trying to shift power, consolidate power in the presidency and to diminish the military? was it a question of getting rid of elevating people he thought were more loyal? >> it's a matter of putting the military back into the place that they occupied before president mubarak was removedn february 2011. so putting the

joining me now cnn contributor and republican consultant margaret hoover. this is a real mess, isn't it? >> yh, we could have asked for a better story. i think romney preferred to talk about other issues today other than social issues. it's not good. akin clearly is resisting at the moment strong pressure to step off of the ballot, step off of the ticket. he has, as we know, till 6:00 p.m. tomorrow to do it. you can bet there is a very strong chorus of republicans, from social conservatives, to even social moderates in the party -- the senate hangs in the balance. and if he decides to stay on, claire mccaskill, which was considered a republican pickup, could well likely win her seat back. for the republican cause, if he is a loyal party man, he should step down. that's what republicans across the board are asking him to do. >> right. isn't it rather gutless of mitt romney and paul ryan not to come out and say that? if they believe that, why don't they just say it? >> well, you know, perhaps they will. certainly john cornyn did. john cornyn, is the senate in

>> i ate already, although eric ericsson and margaret hoover are next to me eating. had breakfast before the show so i could give the show my full attention we're at patch's place, a local watering hole here in tampa. last night mitt romney launched the final phase of his campaign for the white house with a high-stakes speech at the republican national convention. he accepted his party's nomination with an appeal to disappointed and disaffected americans and he asked them to vote president obama out of office. >> if you felt that excitement when you voted for barack obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's president obama? you know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him. >> romney said what america needs are jobs. lots of jobs, and that he's the man to make that happen. now governor romney recruited a rising gop star, florida senator, marco rubio to start making the point on achieving the american dream. rubio introduced romney by sharing his personal vision of success, h

>> good evening, margaret. i think the overall effect is analysts had anticipated that the corn yield would be low, but they were expecting it to be eye bit higher than what the government report actually showed. so this means that you'll have an increase in feed prices and the resulting impact of that is higher meet, poultry, dairy product. it's much higher too than people thought it would be. and the government with corn, soy beeps, meat, also. >> warner: and corn is also an essential ingredient, or corn derivatives in a lot of processed foods as well. >> it is. it's in quite a few things, everything from starches to toothpaste to cookies. it's in a number of products, so when you have a drop in production like this, it's going to spread throughout the food chain. >> warner: so give us an idea for people who are going to the grocery store who that's going to mean. >mean. is there any way to quantify yet what we're going to see in the coming months? >> well, last month, the u.s.d.a. put out its food price inde
