mckenna moved to new york while she was pregnant. she had this baby here in new york.risdiction to a california court? >> the lower court ruling from that judge is really disturbing. it says that she was irresponsible and reprehensible for appropriating the baby moving when she was pregnant and that the california court where bode miller already filed a case would have jurisdiction. as we know, that's now been overturned. jurisdiction is normally where the baby is born. >> let's go back to the statement you just eluded to. this new york court in issuing this decision on jurisdiction said that miss mcken was irresponsible and her actions were reprehensible. women's group say that will set this back decades. give me your take on this. >> that's right. pregnant women don't have any legal obligation to get permission from the father of their baby before they travel. they have the same constitutional right to autonomy to move state-to-state as they wish. in this case, this is a very sympathetic young woman. she got a full scholarship to an ivy league university and she move

this is sub five who is a professor of history at claremont mckenna college in california and the author of "hitler's furies". wendy lower when did you get the idea or where did you get the idea about writing about women in the third reich? >> i got the idea in the archives. i didn't go on a specific search for women in the not see so killing fields in eastern europe. i was in the archives and found documentation on them and that was the beginning of this book in the summer of 1992. i ended up over the course of 20 years or so working on the holocaust research collecting more documentation from all over europe and israel in north america and across the state of washington. i had enough material to do this but projects of 13 biographies of women from all different walks of life who found themselves in these horrific settings in eastern europe and responded in a variety of ways. >> reese surprised at what you found? >> over the time is the collected stories especially the wartime investigations was really shocked at what they did and they did these things on their own without following off

and claire mckenna, policy analyst at the national employment law project. peter goodman, global news editor of "the huffington post" and author of "past due: the end of easy money and the renewal of the american economy." and heather mcgee, the vice president of policy and outreach. nice to have you all here with your bowls of fruit loops in front of you. peter, what are the things that we think we know about economic recovery that this particular long-term sort of limping along economy are challenging us on? >> well, this recovery -- and i would put that in quotation marks -- beggers the concept of recovery. it's been a recovery for the same people who benefitted from the bubbles that preceded the recovery, the dotcom bubble, the housing bubble. if you are well educated, if you are in the upper income strata, you have done very well the last few months. the stock market has done well, housing prices are recovering, unemployment has never been all that high for you and now it's coming down and the opportunities are coming back. if you're in the camp that ne

about the art and the history, we turn to jonathan petropoulos, professor of history at claremont mckenna college and a specialist in nazi art looting and restitution. he's the author of several books including "the faustian bargain: the art world in nazi germany." i spoke with him earlier this evening. jonathan petropoulos, welcome. first of all, where were these paintings, these works of art, originally? and how did they get into the hands of this elderly man in munich, a mr. gurks rlitt? >> well, it's a very exciting discovery of 1400 paintings that were found by the german authorities in munich, near the university, and we're still studying the origins of the paintings. but there seem to be two major groupings, about 300 of them came from german state museums that were perched by the naughties in the late 1930s, declared degenerate and given to dealers to sell off, and the remaining 1100 appear to be largely stolen from european jews and other victims of the nazis. and they were in the hands of this gentleman, cornelius gurlitt's father, a very well-known art dealer named hildtybrand
