crabs is working for newsweek in new york city. that is the man i met in 1951. they got together and had lunch. one chapter write-off about that at the university to get treated, how white paternalism may help african-americans. a native who worked as a custodian, he is helped by essentially being a student befriended by him because he is an impressive young man. dean love gets to know him and get ready to go to college and helps him get admitted to hawthorne and get an apartment place family and get a job on campus. it is a success story. several chapters later, one of the controversies in the university -- come to the university in 1958, and african american professor, king is very quickly taken into court because he must be crazy. while he was teaching at hawthorne he had been very controversial. so controversial that there was a student strike that closed the school down and that was ernest mcun. these things come back. one final example, stokes/robertson. some of you may know judge roberts in. he presided at the lunacy hearing in jackson in 1958 that sent k

he was the one with a column in "newsweek." he had that incredible talent for writing and taking economics to a public audience. he was a political adviser to many governments. he played a very, very important role. the focus of the book is much less on him personally that on -- van on -- than on the university of chicago and the particular world at the university of chicago played internationally. the university of chicago had an aggressive program. attracting international students, particularly students from latin america. it had nothing to do with milton friedman. this was a decision that came out of the state department. there was a concern that latin america was moving to the left. it certainly was. it move further and further to the left in the seventh -- the 1970's and 1960's. this idea was cooked up between the economics department and the head of the usaid. they would bring chilean students and it was outside the mainstream of american economic discourse. because it was so conservative, and in the 1950's, it was seen

just a year ago i was reading an article in newsweek magazine, a long feature article, three or four pages. at an end of the first paragraph, something jumped off the page that said business as usual was beginning to read like the end of the world. it struck me not because it was a new revelation for me but because it was a mainstream news magazine saying this. business as usual is no longer an option, no longer a viable option. we have got to change quickly and the key changes needed, plan b has four component, stabilizing climate, eradicating poverty, stabilizing population and restoring the economy's natural support system the progress land and fisheries and so forth. we don't really have any choice if we want to sustain civilization. i was in a meeting in raleigh, north carolina. someone -- i can't remember for sure -- was at that meeting. it was called something like the american society of higher educator's for sustainability. for sustainable -- i can't remember exactly but that was the thrust of it. i thought about the terms for sustainability is what it was. as one who was in

you see the new cover of "newsweek," have you seen that? >> no. >> sarah palin in running shorts. took a picture of "running world" magazine and "newsweek" cherry-picked that photo and put it on the cover of the magazine and blast sarah palin in the magazine as well. we will talk about that with joy behar. call in, 1-877-tell-hln's the number. e-mail, cnn.com/primenews and hlntv. >>> i heard an interesting question, canshsarah palin, can make a comeback? i thought interesting question. i wonder how it will be addressed. thank you, mike. >>> we want to get news and views you that we're just getting in here, pictures here for you of a crane crash. this is a couple of residential streets in santa rosa here are going to be closed for most of the day while crews remove this large crane. it fell into a home and split it in half during an attempt to remove a large tree from the yard. look at that. trying to remove a tree, your house gets pummeled. the weight of the tree apparently was more than the crane could handle. the crane toppled backward and crashed into that home. boy, what a mes

on the cover of newsweek this week, nuclear explosion, or words after iran gets the bomb.the same fear mongering, the same lies, the same type, the same baseless claims that took us into iraq, be afraid, be afraid. guess what? almost all americans are saying no, we don't want to be afraid this time. we did that. we expose the lies about iraq, and the lies about iran are not getting anywhere. and we have turned this nation against wars between a heavy majority against the war in afghanistan that we are right online and win a majority against escalating it. we did that and we didn't have that before the last election. so we don't want politicians who say i will stand by what i said before the last election. we want people who represent who we are right now. and so we are actually more successful than we know, you look at opinion polls and we are huge majorities on all kinds of issues where would think we are some sort of leftist group because our television tells us that all the time. we have to realize our strength, but when you come right down to it, why should it have to

this is something that came out in a piece on "newsweek."he had interrogators who came from the revolutionary guard. i was fortunate enough to be arrested by the minister of intelligence, which, at least, because of the chain murders of the 1990's has gone through a certain process of reform, so i had interrogators who were relatively educated, respectful men. obviously, the fact that i was a forerunner -- forerunner -- foreighnener really helped. there were not about to start bidding up someone who was going to be released in the near future. the journalist from "is a" was kicked and punched and also exposed to some outlandish accusations, like he had participated in six parties in new jersey, which was one of the signs of american corruption -- participated in sex parties in new jersey, which was one of the sense of american content -- corruption in the eyes of his investigators. because identify primarily as being greek and because i live in the region and also because one of my interrogators spoke arabic, we kept off on a more serious di

host: this is from "newsweek," the argument is why dick cheney should run in 2012. "there can be no ambiguity about the will of the people. what we need to have is a full and frank exchange on issues, then a vote. this would offer a bracing referendum on competing visions. a victory for dick cheney would mean that america wants unilateralism and not multilateralism. host: i think then it is not likely that happened. if dick cheney was going to run, he would have run. he quit the job with no intention of doing it. he served the job as city had no intention of a further political career. it was on popular of him to do what he thought was right for my policy standpoint. damaging what was a pretty good political reputation. he had been a fairly well respected guy, not really thought of as an ideologue. it is this idea that elections are a referendum on one stark policy charley against another, which is not the american reality. years ago george will described the american look of game as a contest between the 50 yard lines. we run campaigns, use polarizing language abou

at the age of 62, things that are very similar now are starting to mix together like time and newsweek. all mixed up whether i read it. i didn't do that when i was younger. if i was 30 i would never done that. i would not make that "time" magazine with nature because it is totally different kinds of magazines. >> host: next call for temple grandin. not in north carolina. >> caller: i was wondering just when it comes to, like when they're showing a longshot, the guest and the moderators seem to have more distant than usual. is that just the way it happened to be set up today or is that in fact something related to autism? just don't know, that is something that is just the way the studio is set up. >> host: what is deceiving is we are closer than it appears. wouldn't you agree? >> guest: yes, i can picture her foot. >> host: catherine in north conway new hampshire. >> caller: hello and thank you for this program. i appreciate hearing all the news and information. i have two questions. if my young child has visual or auditory problems, they use glasses and hearing aids so they can see an
