here is smith on the block. >> mike g.: think mike dement mike did he ment could live with nc state not making the basket. threes on the perimeter. >> mike h.: nc state now just 3 for 9 from behind the arc. smith yet to hit a three-point in the first half. >> mike g.: that's just not now they're built. much more of an attacking kind of an old school team. >> mike h.: gonzalez for three. splash. javier gonzalez, 36% from behind the arc. that's a big bucket here in the final 30 seconds. shot clock is off. cole with smith on him. five seconds. evans, ball fake and a bucket. what a play for brandon evans. the transfer from east carolina has come up big with eight points. that man tracy smith 14 first half points, shooting 60% from the field. here's evans. >> mike g.: here's the guy at the end of the clock who's going to have the ball. we talked about his ability to create his own offense. he got to his right hand and made a nice finish. >> mike h.: g-man i thought uncg had a chance to get blown out of here early. give them credit. they fought hard and are very much in this game. >> mike g.:

mike hogewood and the g-man, mike gminski back with you where nc stat

jackson is the kind of player, mike, that just can absolutely take over a game. >> mike: and for this last stretch, when sanders was out, he's had that free rein. it's going to be a switch for him as far as what he needs to do for this ball club. >> tim: steal on the inbound pass. right away, gives it up to roche. >> mike: nice play by jackson. didn't force the action. roche is a perimeter shooter. >> tim: 16-15, boston college by one. halfway through the opening half. richmond. i love those lean ones. >> mike: richmond has only taken four free throws in eight games so he's a long-range specialist. you have to identify him out on the perimeter. >> tim: he's launched 46 of them this year, more than any other ram. 16 for 46 now from three-point range. sanders. what a jumping jack. that was a strong move by richmond. again, boston college able to set up shop defensively. wilson nearly stripped by sanders. they want a one-four set. he's being checked by elmore. shot clock at five. ulmer decides to drive it right to the rack. >> mike: that's normally as long as jim baron wants to go in pos

game >> mike: the first foul. odu continues to miss some free throws. frank hassell misses that one. >> derek: they are now 0-for-3 from the charitystripe and they come into the game a pretty good free throw shooting team >> mike: yes. there is one. that's two-point game. flyers in front. lowery in a hurry. >> derek: monarchs in an extended zone. they force you out in the high portion of the court. all dayton passes are taking place above the three-point lane. >> mike: lowery in the corn e chris johnson, swings it across to marcus, marcus, the pull-up in the lane, he is short and the rebound comes down to old dominion, they are looking for the tie on the break. they missed the easy lay-up. loose ball, rob lowery comes away with it. lowery behind his back, gets bumped, no harm, no foul. double team on johnson down low goes benson, benson in trouble now. he gets it out and the flyers all kind of trouble against this defense. lowery penetratessings goes up with it and gets the roll. >> derek: that's what the gap in t

count that basket. >> mike: they remind me of, what's his name. >> tim: i was working on it. >> mike: i could see the wheels grinding. >> tim: bucket does count. 57-49. uri. raji. raimpble on the offensive glass. he's fouled on the way up. >> mike: initially, i thought that's one of the best ways to beat the trap, they're starting to throw over the top of it and get a break in the run-out. >> tim: outerbridge picked up the foul, his second. boy, you really need know ho bail out a partner, you know that? >> mike: that really wasn't a shovel full of dirt that i had. >> tim: jones giving it up to richmond. shot clock nearing ten. he's going to put it up. you knew that. delroy james again. he's got 13. >> mike: he's been the only one to hit a three in the second half. they're trying to jam the perimeter as much as possible with rhode island. he shot that one right over trapani. >> tim: jackson. raji again on the offensive glass. corey raji with six. >> mike: if you're guarding raji you have to commit to him, face guard him and keep him off the glass. almost give yourself up as a rebounder

>> mike: that was a nice hustle play by cortney dunn. he missed a point-blank tip attempt on one end, didn't skulk about it, hustled down and got the block. >> mike: look at it again. he just sprints and stays in the play. >> ron: that's his second block of the afternoon. malcolm grant on top to thomas. air ball by adams. tracks it down and here comes paris. collins takes his time. paris being guarded by scott again. southern set. 12 on the shot clock. southern knocks gamble over. they will call that a blocking foul. that will be his second personal foul. mcgowan comes back into the l p lineup, dews comes back in for miami. >> mike: they have to look at malcolm for leadership. this is only an 11 point game. this is very do-able, especially with the ability miami has to shoot the three. it's four possessions. >> ron: that's exactly right. 8:40 left to play the ballgame. >> mike: i think he got away with a moving screen that time. >> ron: they go inside, out of bounds, belongs to miami. still plenty of time left. six turnovers for boston c

along with jenn and mike, i'm ron. missing one of their players, sanders who played only four minutes. here's jenn. >> the bad news is he will not get any more than four minutes from talking to the coach. the good news is they have a player in warmups. he went up for the shot and held his right foot. he's been out since he hurt his ankle november the 20th against st. joe's. maybe we will see him next week but tonight they have to go without him. >> we talked with coaches prior to the game and said rakim wants to play in this but when you have a high ankle sprain, you have to be careful. >> if you tweak it again, it could become chronic. it's early december, i realize it's a lead game, they need him healthy in february and march. >> let's look at the starting line lineups for hurricanes and miami. mcgowan and keep an eye on them today. boston college. reggie jackson will be making his seventh start of the year. he is also quite the spark plug. the head coach of boston college a member of umass hall of fame, the winninge

mike, it's no secret about the first 20 minutes rebounding the basketball? >> mike: no question. thought miami got off to a good start trying to establish things in the post and mcgowan stepping in. and doing a nice job coming out and establishing himself offensively getting into a nice rhyt rhythm, six points for him. bc missed 27 shots in this game but got them back. and right there, the drive inside and miami unable to coral things inside and southern finishing up a shot and reggie jackson a strong finish for bc and that really gave them the lead. five rebounds for him and very aggressive inside. >> ron: miami is reestablishing themselves as mike was talking about. can they get threes to fall? straight up ahead. ♪ [ male announcer ] the day you give someone a lexus is just the first of many memories you'll make with it.

plan >> mike: welcome back to the university of dayton arena, mike hartsock with derek duke. derek, you look at the first half numbers. they are not very pretty on either side but somehow, dayton managed to eek out a league. >> dayton shooting 50% from the field. the challenge is that they have not taken any shots in the first half but when they had good shots, they were able to knock them down. they have been able to keep their lead largely due to the monarchs' inability to make free throw, only shooting 29%. you look at the battle of the bobs, what we called the battle of the boards. at this point, the mop narcs have 8 offensive rebound, the magic number when they exceed 14 defensive rebound, they are undefeated this season >> mike: so you look at one other number that's glaring it's the 12 in the turnover department for the flyers, seven of those by chris wright i. unfortunately, those turnovers have come as his ability a result of his inability to recognize the zone. chris needs to to better in the second half. controlling the basketball of course chris seems to be antsy

mike knuble cleared in. and then working the floor check with brendan morrison. >> craig: not a good clear there by sneed. along the wall, allowing the caps to come in and keep the play alive. >> joe: 1-0 for the oilers. horcoff here in the 2nd. looking at the breakout beginning. it happens quickly behind the net. morrow down the lane. armed away by dorber. i did see a quote saying we will not allow alex ovechkin to get three goals tonight. >> craig: that would be that quote. >> joe: that youngster should learn that could be quickly used as material. bruce going to the oilers doing a nice job keeping ovechkin and all the caps for that matter off the floor. o'sullivan with the good skate. there's no rebound. cadillac has the local primary dealership in the area for 50 years. demandmore.net. caps' fans are wondering how they work in the snow with all that snow at home. >> craig: put it in four-wheel drive, you will be fine. >> joe: green hovering back behind the cage. rolling one to the front. stone is there.

mike green, and tomas kaberle, tremendous players. racking up points on a nightly base. >>> you hit right on top of the hit. these two are on top of the charts. >> and green and kaberle with 22 and 7. and the nhl leader, mike green. >>> he was a central figure last night. >> wow was he ever flying around last night. gets crushed. he was laying out guys all night long. that bad give away, that was his one negative of this game. giving that one away leaves him short-handed, but it pays off in overtime. watch this nice little snapshot t. green machine wept four over -- went four overtime. >>> the big club will send interview interview to the -- michal neuvirth tonight. >> he had won his first two starts last february. now he lost the last two. he is really athletic atlantic too and very quick. >>> he is an old man now at 21, but he broke in as one of the youngest in goalie history. >> 19 at the time. varlamov, neuvirth all 21. >>> don't miss this one, toronto mapleleafs and washington capitals, from toronto, ahead. welcome home, man. >>

a man by the name of mike tracy lives in north las vegas, nevada. his 26-year-old son has been an insulin-dependent diabetic since he was a baby. the insurance mike's son gets through work won't cover his treatments and the tracys can't afford to buy insurance on their own. but their problems are about more than money. since they couldn't afford to treat his diabetes, it developed into a disease called addison's disease, which of course they can't afford to treat either. this disease can be fatal. this is what mike wrote me two weeks ago. again i quote. "i don't know what to pray for first. that i will die before my son will so i don't have to bear the burden, or that i can outlive him so i can provide support to his family when he is gone." end of quote. quite a set of prayers, mr. president. this shouldn't be a choice any american should have to make. it shouldn't be a choice any father or mother should have to make. and when given the chance to help people just like mike, our choice should be very easy. that's what this legislation is all about.

. >> mike: talking about bill self questioning his team's toughness, he's right.doesn't know how good his team is but he said maybe the best thing about us being ranked number one this early is that it will put a bulls eye on our back and we will determine how tough we are and hopefully get to that level because if you're going to win a national championship you have to be talented. as you guys are talking about you have to be mentally tough to put up with the situation they faced two years ago against memphis. >> marques: michael roll. forget percentages and quality and all that good stuff. get some shots up if you're michael roll. you got to think aggressively. he's been more of a role guy the last years because of so much talent here for ucla. this year he's going to have to score big points for them to win games. >> steve: no but foul against jerime anderson. earlier this week ben howland was talking about playing a zone defense against kansas university. but we haven't seen it yet. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... what are you doing? put... the jug... do

mike green is going to come in. you can see kaberle on his stuff.i think sit only going to be green highwaying off as he decks kaberle with no puck around him. and they should have the extra man with the face off in the capital zone. >> joe: toronto has split it's last 10 here. bruce boudreau is 1:10 away from falling against the mapleleafs here. if this score continues to remain the same, the mapleleafs get a win, wilson will be pleased. morrison not happy with the face off alignment. and white scores. >> joe: so, mike green's time in the box last all of 10 seconds and the mapleleafs strike in a power play. to add insult in injury, they doubled up the score 6-3 after such a great started by the caps in the 1st period. look at how he freezes the goal- tender, neuvirth. he went down to the butterfly right there. look there, he is looking around for the puck, but held onto the stick by poti who had an open net and a pretty good opening against neuvirth. >> greg: and interviewer looks like a young boy in this hockey game. earlier in montreal -- nice on

come on, mike moser. don't do it like that. jarvis. >> steve: he's a sophomore from simi valley, california. >> marcus: spotting him up in the corner right now and penetrates. give tyler a shot. honeycutt knows. there's a guy -- oh. there's a guy who knows how to play to the crowd jarvis. >> steve: there you go. with the crowd right now favoring rick stansbury and his mississippi state bulldogs as he knocked off ben howland's ucla bruins, 72-54, the bruins fall to 2-6 on the year. mississippi state pushes their record to 7-2 >>> under a minute to go in the first half. turtles up by 8 at the break. haste, milestone game for him. 6 all time. maryland 3-pointers. 155 passing. eastern kentucky still trying to keep it close. the turks too tough. melbourne 19. turks win it 83-72. the wizards turning everything around tonight with the pace are ares. they are without the leading scorer, danny granger. we will head right out to downtown for the post game crew. get a little prove of this one. chris miller and ron thompson. guys, very tou

mike moser. long with the three. he's thinking about it too much. >> marcus: on his tiptoes at the three-point line and that's not a very good job of balance for mike moser. jarvis. >> steve: varnado misses the jump hook. >> marcus: telling the team to be patient offensively. don't try to take your guy one-on-one. take it off the pass, off the movement, off the screen jarvis. >> steve: drag jim just looking awful from outside. 0 for 5 to start this game. >> marcus: and that's the stat you can get any time you want and the possession. still had a nice little rhythm going and a nice job of ball movement and dragovic takes that long 23-foot jump shot jarvis. >> steve: ray verne johnson with the pull-up. he has 12. >> marcus: can he shoot or what? jarvis. >> steve: the prunes need a time-out. they are down 14, and mississippi state pulling away and looking awfully strong. >> marcus: johnson with mississippi, he's such a threat from the three-point line and ucla is trying to have to close out quickly. does a nice job and

mike green puts it back into the corner for mike knuble. they continue to cycle to alex ovechkin.just set up number 19 in the white in expert fashion. nicklas backstrom going along with a nice clip did not convert. protects it along the well. boss:hey, glad i caught you. i was on my way to present ideas about all the discounts we're offering. i've got some catchphrases that'll make these savings even more memorable. gecko: all right... gecko: good driver discounts. now that's the stuff...? boss: how 'bout this? gecko: ...they're the bee's knees? boss: or this? gecko: sir, how 'bout just "fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance." boss: ha, yeah, good luck with that catching on! anncr: geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >>> and welcome back, baseball news now, the o's have made it official, they signed free agent pitcher, mike gonzales to a two-year contract worth $12 million but it could be worth as much as $16 million with incentives. he went 5-4 with the braves and had an e.r.a. of 2.42. >> i feel really

hln law enforcement analyst mike brooks has new information on that and joins us on the phone. >> good to be with you. i'm hearing from my federal law enforcement and airline security sources that apparently this man got on this northwest flight off of a flight that originated in nigerian but it was a clm flight. i used to travel from washington, d.c. to africa through the airport. and very, very good security there. when you get to the gate, you go through additional screening. they put you in a holding area. what a patdown search most likely would not have found, whatever it was -- i don't know exactly what kind of device this was. they said they're not sure if it was on the body, on his body, or maybe secreted in his clothes. he apparently suffered second and third-degree burns to his thigh area. he was hospitalized but is not in life-threatening condition. they don't know if the device was a black powder, flash powder or as peter just pointed out, could be like richard reid used, a hydrogen peroxide-based explosive. they're taking the evidence overnight to the fbi lab in quantico w

good call by mike carey.the leader again in the national football league punt return average in season. it's berger. this will be returned. here's jackson. takes -- shakes off a hit. another flag down back at the 20-yard line. paxton, the long snapper, made the hit on jackson. referee: there's no foul on the play. all of the action was legal. first down. jim: first down from the 42 of denver. phil: now you got the time on your side. jim: mcnabb with three touchdown passes. the first one went to jackson from two yards out then an open brent celek. and then the one to avant. phil: so many big plays in the game. go ahead, i'm sorry. but mcnabb's scramble changed field position, allowed the eagles to get the ball back after a punt. jim: and that's mccoy into the pile for two. we talked look how some of these a.f.c. teams can control their own destiny after today. but you have the likes of all the fans down in baltimore, pittsburgh, houston, all right now hoping that somehow philadelphia could put together a winni

mike is joining us from sacramento, california. what is your story, mike? caller: i'm an inmate, or i used to be an enmate. i think that part of the problem is when you go in there you can't get anything. you can't get any education. you can't get any job help, any nothing. so, when you get out you have nothing and you go back to nothi nothing. you get out here and you don't have money, you go right back to doing the same thing you were doing before. people don't want to help you or give you any jobs. it is really an economic issue to me. host: how old are you, michael? caller: i'm 39. host: what were you convicted of and when? caller: i was convicted 20 years ago over drugs. and when i get out here i'm still being hassled over ex-felons right now. right now in these times it is hard and it is really frustrating and makes me feel like i really want to go back and do the same thing i was doing before. host: how are you surviving in caller: my wife. that is the one thing about it. your wife or your family members. when you are in there, when you make the call

let's go with mike tracy who lives in northwest las vegas, nevada said. his 26-year-old son has been an insolent-dependent diabetic since he was a baby -- an insulin dependent diabetic since he was a baby. but this family's troubles are about more than just money. since they couldn't afford to treat their son's diabetes, it developed into something called addison's disease, the disease president kennedy had. if you have money you can treat the disease. if you don't, it's a very bad disease, likely could be fatal. this is what mike wrote me this past friday -- and i quote -- "i don't know what to pray for first: that i will die before my son so i don't have to bear the burden or that i outlive him so that i can provide support for his family when he's gone." end of quote. this shouldn't be a choice for any american. and when given the chance to help people like mike, our choice should be easy. here's another example. helen o'rourke wrote to me last tuesday about her friends who live in nevada, a town on the shores of lake tahoe. the family's two-year-old d

the walkon in the line-up because mike scott out with a high ankle sprain and sherrill misses his first three-point attempt. the first walkon to start a game other than senior day since billy campbell did it four years ago. that night, shaun single terri was hurt. >> daymeon: as you saw, you saw his potential in the game there and i think the staff is really looking for him to come out of his shell more. >> matt: waller in just his third game back fouled on the three-point attempt and he will be at the line for three. the glimpse. waller a guy whose auburn people call it the microwave. he is a guy that can heat up quickly as you look at zeglinski who can also shoot it well. the two teams are teams that with scott being out of the game will lure him back by the three-point shots. so perimeter oriented and don't have a lot of. >> matt: that was the first free-throw attempt for waller this season. play in just his third game. missed the first six games of the season with a deep thigh contusion. >> daymeon: you had him out with an injury and right now they have pieces back together and had

capitals defenseman mike green will not be going. steve eyeser man who did the picking told green back in november that if he wantd to represent his country, had he to play better defense. team canada has more than enough offensive players. one guy who knows exactly how disappointed green is right now, san jose shark and fellow fellow canadian dan boyle. >> i've been in his shoes before where you lead the league in points and you don't get picked. et cetera an unbelievable talent. he will be there in the future. that's a tough team to crack be a that's an unfortunate situation. everyone knows he is a very good hockey player. >> yzer man and his coaching staff have been up looking at who will be. it came brown to bowme sitter and dooughty. green never was on the list. keith and scott niedmayer will represent his team. >> fleischmann will represent the czech republic who won the bronze medal in 2006. >> i'll be attending the bronze medal game. don't call me, i'll call you. >>> first stop, san jose. the last time they visited shark tank

the impact of this is very real for people like mike norton sitting up here, you can wait, mike, and katie couric is here, too, his partner in the business. they own a company called "team critical care in maryland," and it runs the ambulances that serve the local hospitals. i asked them before they ever drive the ambulances. i think they did the beginning of the business. they started three years ago. everything was fine until they had a conventional line of credit and it was unexpectedly called in. so in june they had to find a new lender, and that linder help to get them a sba loan for $300,000. now they saved $8,000, reduced fees, and they've hired 18 more employees. so mike told us this loan literally saved their business.

this year one of them in the age of reagan 1982 m-mike 1980 name by steven hayward. also looking back a couple of presidencies we covered the book h.w. ray and his perpetrator to his class. here's portsmouth, virginia. this is cliff on a democrat plan. >> caller: good morning. a good book came out in 2009, but it's one of my favorites. it's been said bugliosi's book, how to prosecute george w. bush for murder. now you can extend the policies in this book and prosecution to obama casillas complicit in continuing this illegal war. post go i think that might've come out in 2008, 2007. santa rosa, california is next. what is your favorite nonfiction book of the year? >> caller: thanks a lot for c-span. i favorite nonfiction book has been and always will be the bible. post go thank you. jim on our independent line. >> caller: good morning. i'm not sure if this is 2009, but it's american bloomsbury by susan cheever, based on the literate community that gathered in massachusetts, hawthorne and emerson. and it was just a delight. and i don't read much nonfiction but it was c

but, you know, we live in the age where obama and obra were 18 and mike huckabee and chuck norris for a team so it doesn't matter whether your democratic or republican both sides are involved with all hollywoodian celebrity. >> jason killian meath, author "hockley but on the potomac." stat next call walter isaacson and ceo of the aspen institute and author of biography on albert einstein and benjamin franklin discuss his new book of essays. mr. isaacson's writings include a profile of world leaders, his thoughts on journalism and reports on his home town, new orleans. this is just over one hour. >> good evening. i am barbara meter, one of the owners at politics and prose, and i know that we are going to have a good evening to light because this is the i think fourth time walter isaacson has been to politics and prose, and every time it has been an interesting evening. he was here for his biographies of kissinger, benjamin franklin and albert einstein. in the past he has been the chairman and ceo of cnn and managing editor of time and then i just actually read this this afternoon. in n

as mike said, i think he indicated had he got the chance to do that again based on what he knows now,e, he wouldn't have made that decision. i believe that's true. >> larry: how did you deal with pardons as a governor? did you have a rule of thumb. >> early on i got a whole stack of pardon requests. i said before we go through these, i need to put together some guidelines so i'm not swung by personal impressions of people. i need to really think this through. we put together guidelines and they were particularly strict as it related to folks who perpetrated violent crimes. and we passed all those through the screening. after four years i had not pardoned or commuted any sentences at all. >> larry: none? >> none. my conclusion was if somebody has been convicted by a jury of their peers and they've been prosecuted and the police were able to get the evidence necessary, why in the world would i step in and reverse that sentence. >> larry: why have a pardon board? >> if you find there's a setting where let's say there's been prosecutorial indiscretion or dna evidence shows there's been a

activist mike tidwell of the chesapeake climate action network say a tough deal is what's required. >> this is a nation of laws and if we want to change to change this nation, we must change laws, ala civil rights movement, >> reporter: tidwell has limited his own carbon footprint. he drives a hybrid car, gets electricity from solar panels and heat with a corn fueled stove. but he says that is not enough. >> individual changes count, they do raise awareness, but we will never solve the climate crisis one refrigerator at time, one household at a time. instead of wagging our finger at aunt betty to go buy more efficient light-bulbs, wouldn't it be great if the next time when she went to buy light bulbs there were only energy efficient light bulbs and you get there through policy and statutes. >> reporter: for that policy, tidwell and others are pinning high hopes on copenhagen. >> lehrer: he is american born, lives in chicago and has roots in pakistani as well as american high society. today, david headley was arraigned in federal court in chicago. he is charged with being a key plotter

. >> to mike ridley it should be a celebration models we frankly but of reporting. that is what my book is about. it is about what newspapers can achieve and not what an editor can achieve but what of reporters on the ground can achieve. >> host: tucson arizona. by the way that was his book party at washington of the british embassy. this is dick. go ahead. you like the culture of corruption? >> caller: it is raising and gives great insight into what happens in washington. it is particularly interesting because this talks about all fought corruption that has existed before with obama and all of the people that he has brought with him. earlier somebody remarked about rahm emanuel. that is detailed in this book but when you read this book it makes you wonder how we can ever, ever straighten out the mess in washington. >> host: paul is next up. the best book of 2009. paul on the independent line will do you think? >> caller: i don't know if you guys have covered it but it is called tree spiker. >> host: treat spiker? >> caller: yep comegys one of the founders of the so

they are hysterically screaming at me about how could i do this to mike charmin. this is an atrocity. what are they talking about? all of a sudden, he said this, we have a three newspaper citations. i am sorry you feel that way, i hang up and your voice mailbox is full. 700 messages from all over central virginia. about how atrocious this was. i will say that that election was 3500 people voting in the republican primary. 25,000 people voted in the republican primary. you can do things in the mailbox to the right kinds of voters because the file -- the whole other thing on direct mail. .. are people who traditionally vote early. why do we want to think about those guys? uniquely. these are the people you should spend the least amount of time and energy on because they traditionally vote early, this is their habit. they're already supporting you. you don't need to persuade them and you don't need to spend a lot of energy turning them out. these are the two purposes of your mail and your phone program. the second thing you want to think about is low propensity voter

host: mike from the democratic line in kansas city. go ahead, mike.ould say it would have to be ron paul. this is a man of lot of people laugh at. his idea of auditing the federal reserve and really taking a look at our financial institutions, how it is set up and set up for big business and shrinking the american people, small business being choked off alive. the middle middle class and the lower middle class are being slaughtered, dumped into poverty. if you look at statistics, people who live in poverty in america are under the level of what people in american consider poverty. it would have to be ron paul. host: sandy ago, independent line. caller: dennis kucinich is not afraid to speak truth to power. he spoke out against the bailout, he has been a major, major opponent against these wars and is not afraid to talk out about the afghanistan war. he is still introducing legislation to stop this war. the federal reserve, i give ron paul credit, he is out there but dennis kucinich is also talking about the federal reserve and how it needs to be repea

[applause] >> this is quite an amazing biography. there have been others, and one of the best was written by ulysses s. grant. he finished his memoir while dying of cancer. one thing that struck me about this book was that everyone here in this room, everyone in the world, knows great amounts about ted kennedy's legacy otherwise, his afterlife. but he had an inner life that is ravaging, and it is all here. all of the promise, all of the hopes, all of the dreams. and i would like to begin by talking about what it might mean that you might not be able to go to communion in rhode island -- [laughter] about senator kennedy's faith. for those of you who have not read the book, he was a man of deep faith. atonement is a process that never ends. let's start with you. ted kennedy. catho
