world. >> 150 women in "newsweek" this week. right now. i know you have president clinton speaking at the conference. >> we have president clinton tonight. we have linda gates, a great philanthropist. hillary clinton is coming tomorrow. and condi rice, together. two former secretary of states talking at lunch. and incredible revolutionaries and dissents from the middle east. tonight, christiane amanpour is leading a fabulous discussion, where she's taking some of the women from tahrir square, in egypt. and hearing from them about how they ferment revolution in the best ways they can. it's going to be exciting. i feel like i should take out an insurance policy because there's all these women who are totally in their own countries -- >> and playing a leading role in many of the demonstration. organizing them, behind the scenes, as well as being out on the streets. >> that's what's exciting. what you see in the arab world, is women are demanding to have a place at the table. they are saying, this democracy cannot be a democracy unl

tina, i just want to congratulate you on the merger of newsweek with the daily beast. the result is a new endeavor that tina has named newbeast. actually, that is something on discovery channel. [laughter] few people have done more than tina to shun the spotlight of women. in the current issue of newsweek when she took over as editor, profiles women all over the globe who are making a big difference and inspiring all of us to do better. i certainly see that in new york. our home is home to more than 4 million women as they make up half our population and i think it's fair to say they probably do more than half of the work. diana told me to say that. fortunately, i don't have to go far to get a woman's perspective at city hall. i can ask the three of my deputy mayors including pat harris, the first woman to occupy that position. or i can call a number of my commissioners, including the first female public schools chancellor of a major school system. or i can talk to anybody in our administration who really does understand that we have to make sure that everybody is chos

the daily beast bought "newsweek," not the other way around. a two-year-old web site bought "newsweek." we live in a very different media culture. there's no more walter cronkite who could say, in february of 1968, that he went over to vietnam and looked at it and decide it was unwinnable, and within two weeks public opinion went from 60 something -- 64-of 5% in support of the war to about 40% in support of the war. because of one man. 25%. i've looked at the gallup numbers. it's very stark. it's also around the time of the tet offense simple. i think we can credit cronkite more than not. there's no more media culture like that. so in a sense, the "times" is -- i wouldn't say one among many equals because i think it's still obviously the leading newspaper in the united states. but it has to share a lot more -- has to share the atmosphere, the oxygen, with a lot more outlets than it ever used to, and that oxygen is much more contested now, and the whole media landscape is much more embattled now there was no such thing as a media critic in abe r

"newsweek" named him the primary saboteur of hillary care. [applause] through his work, he was asked to be a member on the board at the federal reserve, and he had a radio show and is a regular contributor to several networks. his choice in his life are his wife and his two children and grandchildren -- his jointjoy -- note -- his joys in his life are his wife and his two children and grandchildren. one common thing is their importance in faith and family as the foundation of who they became. so with that, we welcome herman cain. [applause] >> and thank you. thank you very much. thank you, thank you, and take you for being here. as somebody pointed out, you are here because you care, like a lot of people in the country, about the future of this country, and there was what was demonstrated on november 2 of last year. the bigger and more impactful -- of 2012. [applause] let it be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals. the tragedy lies in having nobles to reach for. -- having no goal was to reach for. --

recently "newsweek" making stooen gave that same test to 1,000 americans. passed. 29% of respondents didn't know the name of the vice president. it's joy biden, joe biden, by . 73% didn't have any idea who we were fighting against during the cold war. that surprised me that people didn't know what the u.s. was fighting against during the cold war. the answer is communism. did that surprise you? >> it was very surprising. most people responding to the survey were probably alive during the cold war before the fall of communist russia. so it was very surprising that they didn't know that. >> it can be a tough test. a lot of stuff you learn maybe you forget. but the vice president, someone who is out there in the news a lot, that many people who didn't know his name. how did that sit with you guys? is that what you expected? >> it's not what i expected. current events can be kind of difficult to keep track of, but he is the second highest ranking elected official in the government. so the pact that fact that 29% w his name was amazing. >> i'll tick on a few of

nine or so days, a question many of us have been asking, now perfectly captured on the cover of "newsweek" magazine out tomorrow, against the backdrop of a cresting wave, the words "apom lips now: tsunamis, earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, revolutions, economies on the brink, what the blank is next?" we wish we could tell you but whatever it is we will be covering it on multiple fronts as we did tonight. but as we leave you on this first day of spring we wanted to lighten things up and look up at the sky last night. did you see it? we're talking about the promised supersized moon. here it is rising near the lincoln memorial, bigger and brighter than it's been in 18 years because it was closer to earth, all part of a cycle of our universe, one of mother nature's most spectacular performances, worth taking a special look at, perhaps during what may also be some of the darkest days around the world. that's nbc "nightly news" for this sunday. stay tuned for a special edition of "dateline."

i don't know, did you read "newsweek" this week?tina brown's first edition of "newsweek," this is women's moment, clearly. have you read nicholas christophe and cheryl's book, "how's the sky"? they say the moral imperative of the 21st century is the empowerment of women. ernst & young have looked at company across every sector, and they say those that have greater numbers of women in their upper management and on their boards make more money. they have a better return on investment: so everyone is looking at us and saying, this is women's moment. but like katherine big elope standing there with her two os corps car -- oscar, she sort of looked like a deer in the headlights to me like what am i going to do with this? i found from my research that women resist the power that's in our hands, and i started to look at why. why is this, why does this happen? and what i discovered is it has a lot to do with the fact that we have negative attitudes about the idea of power to begin with, that we have an old idea of power in our minds, an ide

tribal vendetta mania with the rebels are teenagers on the forty seventh's what would be a lack in newsweek training they make up in spirit while news of the rebel retreat at the front was greeted with a lawn they're still hopeful of more western support but here in benghazi there is no compromise on their demand for gadhafi to go saying we will fight to the end the work is going of forty reporting from benghazi libya. well still to come in the program the latest in our russia close up series. no telling where cars will. get. anything in. russia and russia. just. take a look at how the earth prepares to greet explorers returning from it. in japan the operation to make the stricken from consumer nuclear power plant safe has been delayed workers are trying to cover the reactors with a high tech resident designed to dry and hot and to prevent further radiation leaks but rain is hampering their efforts for the radiation seawater and the other facilities in our. lives are a good move the government says it's not considering an expansion of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone around the site desp

are the only ones you see in the daily beast and newsweek do the same thing and you know compare that to the way that the huffington post started with just a few people with a one million dollar investment do you think that we'll still see new alternatives new huffington post popping up or is everything just becoming you know to mesh together in the hands of too few people. i'm a small independent art publisher i have no expertise in that area so i couldn't give you an informed answer but every when you look at the the media landscape and especially on the internet when it comes to blogs you know with the feeling that. there's a real problem i think that professional writers journalists have in this country the media overall really has had a dumbing down as so many commentators have indicated and what we were guard our interest to be is to carry on as high level of public conversation about visual art and we think that should apply in all other areas as well we are not operating at the level that we once did in this country and that is troubling our bill i want to thank you very much

impossible for us to independently verify this we've been trying to reach the city people moving to newsweek's but it is in clamp down government forces have prevented any kind of movement in and out but i did this in the ground are saying one thing that and massacre was on the go the government's tanks are in the same target town and that they completely demolishing it we're also hearing from state television that the number of civilians who have been killed in these western is strikes has not increased from thirty nine to sixty four and a hug. and fifty people the main engine some of the questions that are being asked here on the ground number one why is the fighting in misrata being able to continue why is there not more focus by the international community in terms of what is happening there and also the growing tally of civilian deaths how many more people are going to have to die before the situation here comes to an end gadhafi spoke for about fifteen minutes it wasn't actually his face to be sure but rather the image of a gold dust that was crushing an american trying to change his ton

bureau of "newsweek" i know, i'm completing journalism and newsweek but give me a break.[laughter] parenthetically you noticed a recently listed my adopted home town of new orleans as america's number one by teeing city. i'm proud to report new orleans has reciprocated honoring "newsweek" as the nation's number one magazine. [laughter] but back to the story. one day while i was working there got a call from the life and leisure editor of new york asking for it sells from heroes of the country of what he called rooftop living. clearly this fellow had returned to his 53rd floor office after a somewhat nebulous launch. [laughter] steered out the window, noticed potted plants on the roof tops and sniffed out the trend. [laughter] trends are what people like the life and leisure editor have to sniff out before the start to be listed our early on twitter. so i do difficult the dean of the helicopter traffic reporters captain max push told me the obvious. some, l.a. has plenty of land. nobody needs to put anything on the roof. there's a couple exceptions including the guy john t

the "newsweek" did a cover story of how barry became barack, and it's kind of a pivotal moment in obama's own development and his own racial identity and decides to change his name and go from barry to barack and the general assumption is president obama was taking his father's name. his father was barack. he was a young american in hawaii and effort can name became barack but that isn't true. in reality the father was also barry. and he became barry and remained in kenya and so the significance of this to me is that it's not that president obama j dub the name to take his father's name, but in some sense as you might say he rejected his father's american naim, barry come to take his african name. so in other words, i'm wondering if the significance is not i want to identify more with my dad, but i want to reject a certain aspect of my father, barry, and go for the african identity barack. what do you make of all this? >> guest: i think he can't be much into it. there's no doubt his father remained in the 70's and 80's and i spent a lot of time sitting calling johnnie walker to get them t

. >> charlie: this is the first newses in week out under your tutelage and newsweek and the daily beast. you said you wanted to be, i love this, seductive and serious. >> it means you have to get them in. have you to get them into the tent. that's what needs to happen. it's one of the most important things you can do is to seduce people into reading what i have to say and we have to do things that presented it in a seductive way. >> charlie: compelling to read the next paragraph. >> everything is the window of attention. >> charlie: you built a career in magazines and left with a sense the day is number and now came back to the daily beast and now this. >> after doing the daily beast and the excitement is a fantastic form and amazing. it's also though can coexist in a good way and this week we have this incredible portfolio of women which has a luxurious stories and looking at them slower and online we have an immense gallery of women where you can scroll over this wonderfully interactive things and people love to operate in different keys. sometimes they're in the mood for something th

you'll hear from tina brown, the editor-in-chief of "newsweek" as well as from facebook's chief operating officer sheryl sandberg. anpour moderates poo the panel. this portion is an hour. >> just jump on it. do it. it will be gone tomorrow. [drums playing] [applause] >> thank you for that gramm warm-up -- great warmup. i am tina brown and i am thrilled to welcome you to the second annual women in the world summit. we have assembled so many freethinking firebrands, social revolutionaries, outside agitators, rabble-rousers' in this theater tonight and for the next two days, he should take got hold different insurance policy. the green room itself a major insurrection is happening. these are revolutionary days, and the observable facts, the amazing facts, the exhilarating fact is that our tv screens showing us that in the middle is, women are on the forefront on a fight against oppression, affecting hundreds of millions in the region, not just the oppression of women but of the whole society. the role of women in the democracy movement is hammering home the code -- -- hammering home that the

so one day i went to my mail box and there was, i don't know, time or newsweek or something, and i'm walking up my driveway and there's a cover story on the magazine and it's about women in their late 30s and early 40s, people like me, who had delayed parenting. they'd been going to school and getting their profession started and kind of like, oops, i forgot to have children. and so i turned in and i was reading it as i walked up the driveway and i was reading along. it said, you know, that we're born with all the eggs we'll ever have and by the time we're in our late 30s or early 40s our eggs are getting old, and i remember hitting the magazine and saying, that's it! and i went back to the shrink and i said, it's my eggs, that's what's old. so then i had to figure to get a baby? i became seethed, possessed you could say. it's a very long story but i did not want to marry what's-his-name. i come from the bible belt in oklahoma. you do not have babies without getting married especially in my generation. if that weren't enough, i was teaching at catholic loyola college and my students

the "newsweek" did a cover story on you barry became barack and it's a pivotal moment in his racial identityn which he decides to change his name to go from barry to barack and the general assumption was that barack obama was taking his father's name and here's young barry in hawaii who's taking his african name barack in reality the father was also barry. and the father came to america. he was barry obama. he remained barry in kenya. and so the significance of this to me is that it's not that president obama gave up his birth name to take his father's name. but in some sense as you might say, he rejected his father's american name, the barry, to take his african name barack. in other words, i'm wondering if the significance of his not and want to identify with my dad but i want to reject a certain aspect of my father, the barry, and go for the -- you may say african identity the barack. what do you make of all this? >> well, i think you read too much into it. there's no doubt his father was named barry and you recall his old friends in the '70s and '80s and i spent a lot of time writing in

the "newsweek" i think the cover story how barry became barack.nd it's kind of a pivotal moment in obama's own develop it, his own racial identity, in which he decides to change his name and go from barry to barack. and the general assumption is that president obama was taking his father's name. his father was barack. it was young american barry into why it took his african name and became barack. but that's not true. in reality the father was also barry. and the father came to america. he was barry obama. every major barry in kenya. and so the significance of this to me is that it's not the president obama gave up his birth name to take his father's name. but in some sense as you might say, he rejected his fathers american name, the barry, to take his african name barack. so in other words, i'm wondering if the significance of it is not i want to identify more with my dad, but i want to reject the sort of aspect of my father, the barry and go for the you may say african identity, the barack. what do you make of all this? >> guest: i think you rea

so, one of the problems to me was particularly thrown into light this week in "newsweek". sharon wrigley had a two-page article about the quality of medical research and it was quite critical and a part of it that i paid a lot of attention to is what the pharmaceutical companies seem to be doing to sort of suppress research, and i just wonder how to fold what may in fact be a conspiracy theory with. >> with reality. it is certainly, i think fortunately this is not a scenario in which we need to take the drug companies word that vaccines are safe. if that was who we were relying on i would have a problem with the too. i think the way that medical testing and medical research is done is hugely problematic. the peer review process is problematic. the ways in which drug companies have relationships with review articles that are disclosed -- there are a number of things that are problematic and there has been case after case after case over the last decade where something has been brought to market and we have asked -- later found that it was either brought to market before it

tina, i just wanted to congratulate you on the merger of newsweek with the daily beat. the result is a new endeavor that tina has named "news beat." i think that is a series of shows on the discovery channel, but that is something else. there are quite a few people sharing the spotlight of the issues of women. tina profiles women all over the globe who are making a big difference and inspiring all of us to do better. i certainly see that in new york. our home is home to more than 4 million women. it is fair to say they probably do more than half of the work. at least, diana told me to say that. [laughter] i do not have to go very far to get a woman's respect -- perspective in city hall. i can ask any of my deputy mayors or i can call a number of my commissioners including the first female public schools chancellor of a major school system or i can't talk to anybody in our administration -- i can talk to anybody in our administration. we have to make sure that people are picked on merit. if you pick people on merit, at least half of them will be women. the real criteria

i was really taken by the "newsweek" first-person account.touches so many hearts. you said giving your son a bath, it brings you joy. it's like a victory for you. and is it that what is important has changed? or you have found the balance that you've been striving to find? >> i think i'm more present. i'm present with my kids. and that's important because to be with them, each and every time i'm with them, to feel that and to be connected to them. and to see the joy on their faces, whether it's sam dancing or creating things and coloring and rearranging furniture and all that stuff. and i have my little brute over here, that wants only to play sports. anything with a stick and a ball, he's happy. the different dynamics there and being present for that is something, you know, i need to be. i need to be first in my life. >> reporter: and how is it for you to be a single dad? and balancing the career that you have, with doing that? >> it's work. there's no doubt. it's tough but enjoyable. that's the work that i love. i just love being with them.

joining us with the inside story is a senior writer for "newsweek" magazine. thanks for coming in.25 million production. history channel decides to kill it, why? >> reelz channel pays $7 million to air it. the history channel kills it because they say, suddenly out of the blue, it's not part of their brand having watched it. they didn't really criticize the acting or the production or the directing. >> yeah. >> but you know, kind of implied that there's something wrong with the movie, and it goes from network to network to network and everyone passed on it. >> so what do you think? you've heard the stories of caroline kennedy somehow got involved and had them pull it. maria shriver somehow got involved. do these stories have any merit whatsoever? >> there are reports. even the producer of the mini series says he's not going to know what led them not to air it. but i think the quality was grate, i think it was well done, well acted. and they thought they could make money off of it i don't think they could have pulled it. >> there's some heavyweights in here. greg kinnear, academy aw

. >> no, it's up to -- >> a "newsweek" article october 22nd, 2010, said this. the left is wrongl defending islamism and extremist and at times violent ideology which it confuses with the common person's islam, which, i add, is a religion. while the right is often wrongly attacking the muslim faith, which it confuses with islamism. thank you guys for pointing that out this morning. i want to thank mr. bledsoe and mr. bihi for sharing your stories of your sons as a father of sons myself my heart goes out to you. i'm not aware of anyone on this si of the political spectrum attacking islam nor anyone wishing to limit anyone's first amendment rights but i believe we are raing awareness of islamism, political ideology, and how that is being used in this country. i am regularly astonished and outraged, outraged by this administration's continued failure to single out who our enemy is. mr. bledsoe said in his testimony that there is a big elephant in the room but our society continues not to see it and you say that this wrong is caused by political correctness and even

just last week and happy to say newsweek magazine published a positive assessment of the city and itssteps out and i quote, let me quote a few lines because i think this peace activity captures the spirit of chicago, and i quote, there's no talk about any more about being the second city. chicago is not only the city that works but also an exciting city in which all these literary world's sean and. chicago has lately become to see itself as a place whose inherent funniness can now embrace all sorts of improbable conventions and behavior. there is self-confidence and upbeat ceilings and the success. end of quote. they figured out the fashion industry the food and music. but also they made a special point about why the technical company had been in chicago and not somewhere else and the story said why didn't they start up in silicon valley? for the same reason facebook started at harvard both needed a local population of young people, not a community of cyber nerds or venture capitalists. chicago had with ayaan drew maysan needed, people. since i've been mayor with a with many partners

simon winchester writes about the strong possibility in this week's "newsweek" magazine. good morning. >> good morning. >> the magazine references the scariest earthquake to come in california. last time it ruptured was in 1906 when the earthquake and subsequent fires devastated san francisco. what makes you think the timing is right for it to happen again? >> it's ee's clear that the earthquakes tend to occur in clusters. a cluster seems to have happened in the last year around the pacific plates. if you think of it as a square, we have had a major earthquake in the northwestern side of the square, tokyo, three days ago it was sendai. on the 22nd of february we had christchurch in new zealand in the southwest of the square. last year we had a major earthquake in chile and the southeast of the square. the fourth leg of the square, the fourth side is where the san andreas and the kcascadia forms. that hasn't ruptured. so now is the time when people should start thinking about what might happen if, one, the san n andreas or the cascadia fault ruptures. if either ruptures th
