eric boehlert and democratic strategist alexis mcgill johnson, always a pleasure to have both of you. thank you for your time. what about the boston marathon as a sporting event? we'll talk to sportswriter dave zirin about the future of this consumer institution. >> john: what can a lone act of terror do to the world of sports? i'll talk about it with dave zirin, sports editor with the "nation" magazine. thinking. >>ok, so there's wiggle room in the ten commandments, that's what you're saying. (vo) she's joy behar. >>current will let me say anything. >> john: sporting events are supposed to be an escape. a chance for people to get away from the frustration of everyday life. but with any sporting event, there is always the chance for disaster. thousands of people crowded into a confined space for an extended period of time, makes them an ideal target for these kind of disgusting attacks. over 200 were killed in atlanta at the olympics and eerily similar to the boston bombing 14 people were killed and over 80 injured when a bomb was set off at the start of the 2008 sri lanka marathon. w

and to tie it back to science, i had a graduate student at uc-berkeley who came to work with me at mcgillhis doctoral dissertation, he wanted to study the extent to which we can understand what musicians are doing by looking at them, observing their movement. it is worth pointing out that there cannot be any music without movement, no sound without movement. sound is the molecules in the air vibrating in particular ways. there is no sound in a vacuum because there are no molecules to vibrate. all sound, including music, has to begin with some motion, movement. in the case of movement, -- music, it is the body moving, somebody pressing a key, striking, blowing, plucking. even singing, there is movement of air through the vocal cords. what bradley did is he took performances of musicians, in this case, a clarinetist playing stravinsky, and we had people come into the laboratory and we turn off the sound. as they listened, they had to write what they heard going on emotional and structurally. a different group of people came in and they had the sound on and the video off. a third group had b

subspecialty out of southern journalists and they have quite a distinguished roster, starting with ralph mcgill, the great claude siton, john herbert, i knew i would do this. reese clyburn. marshall frady. sell lease sibley. many of you know her. i'm very proud jack's papers are here as i said, where they belong. now to return to hank's question, actually initially i had a very negative approach towards jack's papers and, that the experience didn't start out very well. when jack retired he came back from, he brought home with him about 20 boxes of the biggest mess you ever saw. jack wasn't just disorganized, he was opposed to disorganization. anyway, i started out to help him sort the papers, and so, i had bought all these file boxes and i bought folders and everything. and i pick up a paper, where do you think this one goes with "the atlanta constitution" or the marvin griffin administration? he said give me that. he would start reading it. he would read, read every piece of paper, he couldn't part with a single one. so after two days i just gave up. i said, okay, it is always yours. i can't d
