you know, i still marvel, terry, and andy, at just less than ten years ago i was at dpw and we were signing off and getting rid of my mission bay driving range. signing off on getting rid of the railroads and turning this over to what was visualized by mayor brown and then gavin newsom later as the place that we're going to really create life sciences and now today, just seeing what with bay area is doing and the innovations that they have at really putting in the meat of why we all our city the innovation capital of the world. it's not your bay area and pfizer working alone, but they are literally using their drugs and their development of drugs to really incentivize the therapeutic uses and just like with the other tech companies, this is a very successful model that is happening between big and small, established and new. the collaboration that is going to go on here, i'm excited about this. it will especially with the two companies that you are naming today and i have to admit, terry, that when i heard prolynx was here, i thought you have finally gotten a replacement for the driving ran

he also marveled at her stamina at age 65. at the state dinner he observed that her fast pace had left even the secret service panting. one of the queen's secret service once said she has too great assets. she sleeps very well and secondly, she has got very good legs. she is, he said, as tough as a yak. i got another insight from of a woman named valentino who, for many years, oversaw blair house which is where the queen and prince philip were staying during a visit. she happens to see elizabeth one morning before she set off on a half engagement. the queen was standing completely by herself. it was as if she is looking inward getting set. this is how she wound up her batteries. there was no chitchat. standing absolutely still and waiting, resting within herself. bill and hillary clinton had a warm relationship with the "-- queen as well. like other presidents clinton was impressed with what he described as the clever manner in which he discussed public issues, probing the for information and insight without venturing too far

it would be a terrible place to live, but what a marvelous place to keep things for eternity. pharaohs' tombs, equipped with all the necessities for a voyage into eternity, were hidden here. this is hundreds of miles from the great pyramids. the problem with the pyramids was that they were too conspicuous to robbers. in this valley, the idea was that no one would know. this fascination with the afterlife, and the state of mind of the ancient egyptians in general, can be best understood by learning something about their environment-- which basically means... the river nile. all activity centered on its water and its fertile banks. ( sheep and goats bleating ) the desert, literally a footstep away, was a constant reminder to the egyptians that, without the nile, there would be no life. the nile offered ancient egypt more than just its life-giving water or the transportation lifeline that unified an empire. it offered the gift of renewal. every year about july, the floodwaters of the nile would gradually rise, carrying fertile silt down from the headwaters until the farmland had

can't help but marvel at their size. chasing buffalo through water makes them incredibly strong. every story they tell, every image they capture is an effort to create a global uproar because these are, quite literally, the last lions. when the jouberts were born, there were 250,000 of them in africa. now as few as 20,000. each year other countries in africa sell 600 lion-hunting permits, the vast majority to americans. >> we think that these wild lions will be extinct in ten or 15 years. >> really? >> yeah. >> hunting is a big part of the human condition for thousands of years. do you think we can ever eliminate it entirely when it comes to species like this? there's always going to be somebody who will pay a lot of money to shoot a lion. >> that's the key. with species like this, we have to contain those urges that we have. going out to shoot for the pot, going out to shoot deer in new jersey or wherever you do that, that's a completely different conversation. shooting the last of the 20,000 lions is dramatic. >> do you have children? >> no. these are our children. that was a c

but anyway, i embraced the planning as marvelous. the very centerpiece of the ryan budget is a dramatic shift of even more wealth to those at the top, huge new tax cuts for the richest 2%. the senator from california pointed out, if you take the bush tax cuts and extend those, which mr. romney would do and mr. ryan's budget does, then add on to it the tax cuts in the ryan budget, which mr. romney supports, so i can call it the romney-ryan budget ou or the ryan-romney ought about, if you do that if you make over $1 million a year, you're going to get nearly $400,000 a year in new tax cuts. think about it. that takes your breath away. $129,000 in the bush tax cuts would be extended, plus an additional $265,000 that would be in the ryan budget. now, you know, madam president, we hear a lot about entitlements. going to cut entitlements, cut entitlements, and i will refer to that more in my continuing remarks. but this is an entitlement. think about it. if you make over $1 million a year, you're entitled to that. you don't have to do anyt

she has done marvelous work with dolphins and things like that. i should be honest and tell you she is my wife as well. but she was just a visitor in the class. i highlight three physicists who work in experimental and theoretical physics to compare the two of those. i highlighted a couple neuroscience who work in various areas with new questions abounding we hadn't even thought of a few years ago and curiously i use myself as a case history. that happened because in one class we have a speaker who got ill at the last minute and couldn't make it and i knew what to do and my wife said why don't you be the speaker and i will interview you. so i did and it worked out pretty well and i had the transcript and i thought i will be honest about this and use myself as a case history. >> host: how important is money to this research? >> guest: how important is money to almost anything? it is extremely important and something we have to think about carefully as a culture and how much money we want to put into research and where we want to put it and how to m

after the war, they got on marvelously.nhower to moscow and i'll say a word about that because eisenhower flew in a russian plane and they flew very low from berlin back to moscow. eisenhower saw the destruction. not a house standing really for that long, long trip, convince eisenhower that the russians did not want war. but it had been so terrible and the losses have been too severe. but it convinced him that the russians would not dissolve either. he took into the presidency. after eisenhower served as chief of staff for two years. he really did not want the job. it is really winding the service is down. he retired in the beginning of 1948 and then wrote crusade in europe. crusade in europe read grant's memoirs before doing now. crusade in europe does not approach grant's memoirs to turn the literary style. but it's probably the best coming out of world war ii, the most complete, the least -- eisenhower did not grind axes and eisenhower rated himself over a period of four, working 16 hours a day, seven hours a week. he di
