mrs. hughes was the daughter of walter carter, who was the senior partner in the hughes law firm. as lore would have it, they met at a party with her father. she was a very educated woman and influential in his life. he also had three daughters who together with mrs. hughes, i think, or we believe had a great affect on his views, including his support of women's suffrage among other things. >> and last week we learned in our program that the partners were not partners in politics. mrs. deb stayed home while jean deb was campaigning all the time. what about these two as a political couple? >> getting back to their marriage, their courtship is very slow. they meet a few times. it's like every few months or something, and because she is the boss's daughter, he won't go near her. when people say he married the boss's daughter, that's really a distortion of what happened. it's only until he is partners, full partners with carter that the courtship really begins. but she is -- there's -- particularly if you read in there about their retirement together, how close a couple they are. they

that's mrs. hughes on the cover who was obviously a very important person in justice hughes' life and in particular with respect to the issue of the magazine she's on here because of his support of women's suffrage, which she supported as well. something we learned in the magazine that we weren't aware of beforehand, which isn't often talked about wrespect to justic hughes the republican party platform in 1916 was simply each state would have the right to determine whether or not women would have the right to vote. justice hughes gave a speech which is reprinted in this magazine after that in which he said that he wouz as goingside dissolves and leaves the field open to hughes. they're in a bad mood. not resolved to who they're going to be endorsing. one of the people with a bad temper is governor of johnson of california. johnson is running for the senate in california, united states senate. he's got a primary and he's a ornery guy. hughes because of the limitation of travel in the days has to get out

washington and his wife arrived, justice hughes escorted mr. washington and his wife to his own table and sat him there. which at that time unfortunately was a very controversial thing to do. justice hughes took advantage of that to speak to the assembly about the importance of diversity, and tolerance. he was disappointed that a group of religious people themselves would be intolerant to having booker t. washington at his table. >> we have about 22 minutes left to go in our two-hour look at the life and legacy of charles evans hughes, the contender, a man who sought the presidency and lost but changed american history. we've brought back one of our first guests, david pietrusza, who is joining us still on the plaza of the supreme court. and david, one aspect of his life we have not spent any time on as we should, is secretary of state in the pivotal post-world war i years. can you talk about the contributions he made in that role? >> absolutely. he regarded not only as one of the great chief justices, he's regarded as one of the great secretary

mr. hughes. >> paul clement, you brought a book of his letters i understand. >> yes, it's this book that he wrote, actually a collection of six different lectures that he gave at columbia university. and as i say, it's really a unique insight. because here's ruminations about the supreme court of the united states from somebody who had been an associate justice and would soon be the chief justice of the united states. but it's a candid look on what at this point a lawyer really thinks about the supreme court. >> still highly readable today? >> very highly readable. and it's fascinating, actually, how contemporary a lot of the discussion is. >> very quickly, when first your law students come in, and you teach them about this era, what's the one thing you want them to know about it? >> i want them to know about the switch in time. it may have been political or may not have been, and also what the consequences were. >> i want to say thank you to our three guests who have been with us tonight on our charles evans hughes program from outside the united states supreme court. we appreciate your

mr. don hugh has made and we would have the sea bed authority and we would have the right to object to any provisions that are put forward. that said, there's nothing in the treaty that i've read that indicates that we would have to join kyoto or any other treaty of that type and that's coming from an organization that does not support kyoto or has serious reservations about a cap and trade regime. >> some treaties argue that if the u.s. joins the convention we'll lose jobs. does the chamber of commerce agree with that? >> no. if you expand the economy, and many of our jobs in the future come from mining, energy and trade and this clearly is a treaty that will enhance that, not detract from it, and i believe that as we have said publicly, not only about this treaty, but about the whole energy mining and other issues, these are where a lot of the jobs in the future are, and i think they'll create jobs. >> anyone else want to comment on that? >> senator, surely, it will be a job creator and let me add one other anecdote and the keystone excel pipeline. a lot of people don't realize that the

mr. simon hughes. >> to turn up the volume with the central message of the budget, which is that some payo tax at all. >> there have been riot, and that has anchored motorists. even though prices had dipped a little, they were still a major issue. a handful of conservatives call for a common vote opposing any increases looming. the chancellor came to the house. >> rising global prices have increased the cost of living for families here in britain. this coalition government will do everything it can to help. we have already kept mortgage bills low, and abolished a duty. i can say we will stop any rise in the fuel duty and freeze it for the rest of the year. that field duty will be 10 pence -- by the last labour government, and this will fuel our economy. it will be fully paid for by the larger than forecast savings and department of budget, and we will set out details as usual in the august statement. >> mr. speaker, if i were not on crutches, i would be jumping for joy. it proves once more that this government is on behalf of the hard-working families. >> the chancellor told a program a f

mr. simon hughes. >> following the death of our servicemen in afghanistan. his party had a manifesto as did the liberal democrats. agreement is clear -- the agreement is clear. there is no provision for any other referendum. 27 european countries work together to deal with the imminent, urgent economic crisis from europe. >> that is an important point. we said no further passes of power from britain to brussels. we said we should defend the single market. we have promoted the single market in energy and services. we have written safeguards for the conclusion and i think that is all for the good. all party leaders have to think of the future in a changing europe and how we take the british people with us and that is exactly what i'm doing. >> whenever we have such inquiries, the big difference is access information and other background information. such a committee will have the same powers that a judge would have. >> i do want it to have those powers. if people do not produce those papers, they are in contempt of parliament. we're seeing that the whole conce

mrs. nixon twice, including the original trip. hughes was the military assistant to president nixon. he was also his military assistant as vice president. he was commander in chief of the pacific fleet, knew the nixons very, very well, and we're proud and delighted to have him here. and of course -- and of course julie, who's author of the biography of her mother, entitled "pat nixon: the untold story", and also worked with her husband david eisenhower in writing "going home to glory: a memoir of dwight d. eisenhower 1961 to 1969." ladies and gentlemen, your panel. [ applause ] >> well, i hope we can get that video working before we're done because it's really good. we take it for granted these days that senior government officials travel all around the world, but that hasn't always been true. so i think a great place to start today would be to ask julie, who although she was only 5 years old when her parents went on their first international mission in 1963, because she's an authority on her mother, and her biography of her mother, "pat nixon: the untold story", the definitive biogr

mr. simon hughes. >> following the death of our servicemen in afghanistan. his party had a manifesto as did the liberal democrats. agreement is clear -- the agreement is clear. there is no provision for any other referendum. to hand over power from the u.k. to brussels. 27 european countries work together to deal with the imminent, urgent economic crisis from europe. >> that is an important point. we said no further passes of power from britain to brussels. we said we should defend the single market. we have promoted the single market in energy and services. we have written safeguards for the conclusion and i think that is all for the good. all party leaders have to think of the future in a changing europe and how we take the british people with us and that is exactly what i'm doing. >> whenever we have such inquiries, the big difference is access information and other background information. such a committee will have the same powers that a judge would have. >> i do want it to have those powers. if people do not produce those papers, they are in contempt of

mr. bennett, bill benet? great guy, wow. what a wealth of knowledge, powerful, powerful man, and, of course tonight, 710k nas's hugh huitt will be joining us around 7:30 and the reason i bring up those two specifically is i'm steve kelley with 710k nus and it's great to be here from "kellie & company." now you can see why i'm on the radio. i have the face for radio, because i was thinking about this as i was coming here. the conservative camp, this is what we do, to use the metaphor of a fire, throw logs on the fire while our state is literally on fire and i'll talk about that in a moment and introduce our guest who will then introduce senator coburn who is just here and his new book "the debt bomb." that's just incredible. you're in for a treat here. think about what happened though. as i was thinking about this week. are you exhausted or are you exhilarated, i wonder? are you? i mean, you think about this. last week, ladies and gentlemen, arizona had a border. i'm not being facetious. albeit porous, arizona had a border last week, and this president, president barack obama not only won't defend arizona, and you heard govern

years later, mike went back to my lai with hugh thompson and larry colburn, the two soldiers who put a stop to the massacre. >> wallace: she wants to meet mrson. well, here is mr. thompson. and it was such a moving experience, to see the people who had heard about them. astonishing what you learn and feel and see along the way. a reporter's job, as you know, is such a joy. >> stahl: when you think of mike, you think of him barging in on bureaucrats and bad guys, loaded for bear. but over the years some of his most memorable interviews were with entertainers. it was just a couple of years ago we sat down with mike to screen some of his greatest show-biz hits. beginning with an example of almost every interviewer's nightmare-- a performer so quick and so funny that, right from the start, you're not sure who's interviewing whom. in this case, it's mike and mel brooks. >> wallace: tell me something. the show... >> mel brooks: watch? let me see that watch. >> wallace: it's about a $40 watch. >> brooks: really? >> wallace: yeah. lights up in the dark. >> brooks: what a cheap son of a bitch you are. >> wallace: you got that right. you're a great

mr. lynch drove 50 miles. he used a fake name. he put on gloves. and beat up and bloodied an elderly man. >> holly hughes attorney. lynch admitted to the crime. how can you go about defending someone like that? >> well, you make it about the larger issue and the larger issue is why did he do this? and you basically argue he had to do this because the criminal justice system didn't do its job in the first place. if i was his attorney i'd argue to that jury how dare the prosecutor try and convict my client when they couldn't convict the rapist who assaulted him when he was a little boy. >> so if lynch had committed a murder rather than an assault do you think the jury would have come to the same conclusion? >> i don't think so. >> really. >> i don't. it's something we call jury nullification. essentially they look at all the facts and tech flick speniqucal the prosecutor did make out a case for this is an assault. he admitted he assaulted the man. they look at it and say despite all that we still think justice, the right conclusion, is to acquit him on these charges. if you had a murder, don, much more ser
