but it's a fact, when you watch the movie departed and the have that creepy scene with jack nicholsonleering at the young girl making crude remarks, whitey liked young girls. whitey liked young women to whitey was a real womanizer. even though there were two primary women in his life, one day to live with for like 30 years while he was carrying on an affair with another one for like 20, he was a womanizer, but we never found anything to support -- unless bashing statutory rape, i think you girls as young as 15, 16. what he would do though, whitey wasn't the guy who does match somewhat off the streets. whitey was a guy who would buy the family with money. there's one case where you bought -- because he was sleeping with her daughter. so he was not a nice guy. >> how was he finally captured? >> it was a great story and it's something, talk about truth being stranger than fiction. there was a woman, miss iceland 1974, and gym i removed the old docks in the commercials, take it off, take it all off, she was one of the blondes in the commercial. she lived across the street. in iceland when

. >>> let's bring in alex nicholson, legislative director of iraq and afghanistan veterans of americama today reiterating this commitle to make good, to make a difference here, to push thitur around. what needs to be done for him to make good on that? >> one of the first things we need to see is fundamental and substantial reform at the va, that includes not only policy and practices but personnel as well. it's clear that there are problem bureaucrats deep down within va. there are some problems at the top as well, but i think most people know that there are problems within the va. the secretary has had trouble firing people who've made egregious mistakes. hospital leaderships that have been responsible for patient deaths. cover-ups. now we're just seeing more and more. this is going to continue. >> so basically people who aren't allowing that sort of information that's on the ground to percolate up so that secretary shinseki would know what's going on? >> that's definitely part of the problem. you talk to frontline hospital workers, social workers, counselors, case managers, they can

you think jack nicholson is going to make his way to seattle to see a game? no.ut setting courtside in l.a.. >> i think that is what he told wall street journal. he is now free of seattle because he does not work for microsoft. he can go to atlanta court i like you said. >> thank you. >> does that not make you want to go to a clippers game and watch steve ballmer at his best? >> if we see him, i'm definitely going. >> when we come back, silicon valley forced to look at diversity in the workforce. ofplus, you have heard madmen, meet the mad hamsters. ♪ it is time for some of the bloomberg west top tech and media headlines. musk and a reusable capsule that should be able to take the astronauts to the space station within two years. taking steps to make sure you have the right to be forgotten online. for europeans who want their they mayon deleted, ask google to remove after this ruling. theppeals court upheld right to sue apple is a group. that trial is set to begin in july. back the is drawing curtains on employee diversity figures, and it is not pretty. women mak

i guess the problem is, you know when you look over the course, jim nicholson, go all the way back, right the person who has been screaming from the rafters, look what is going on inside of this organization? you need to change it and forcing powers that be to get involved and to allow them to get rid of some of that dead wood. is that virtually impossible? is that what you're telling us? >> it is as long as no politician in either party is willing to take on hiring and firing practices in the federal government. but i think you just hit on something important too. general shinseki does have one deficiency when it comes to dealing with the public and media. he is a very taciturn man. he is reticent. he doesn't cry in public. everybody wanted to see him weep in front of a senate panel. he is a very reserved man. unfortunately in this media age, where it is all sensation all the time, people don't understand quiet discipline anymore. now shinseki may well go but my god, if he goes i tell you i will salute that man because i believe he has done his best. >> i understand, i understand what yo

and in a book called the old gray mare's of denver was written by an assistant to william nicholson inhe last republican mayor of denver. they had already passed the first bill of the u.s. house of representatives. they asked what they could do to help out and they said give an extra 1,000 miles. he called the department of transportation whatever it was called then, and that was passed in the house. so i take it that you don't agree with that. >> it wasn't that cut and dry. as you said he was supportive of the extra thousand miles but there were able of claimants to those. it wasn't a foregone conclusion that they would go to colorado and utah. so even as i mentioned before when they improved that extension, the thousand mile expansion of the interstate system it was still up to the technocrats to decide where they would go, who would give those or how they would be divvied up. and at that time it is hard to relate to this now but at that time the highway was difficult to push around politically. there was a lot of sort of deference to the technocrats to a degree. anybody that claimed

"he movie "as good as it gets with jack nicholson and helen hunt, theaters all over america erected with hatred of hmo -- people allover america you with hatred erupted of hmo's. the core is the economic thing. what gets people to choose wisely? health insurance is an insurance. there is a wonderful book on this by giving gold hill called "catastrophic care." you may have seen this -- "how health care killed my father." today have no idea how much they are spending on "health insurance," when prepaid medical care -- the third. -- the third-party payer system is eating us alive, not only in college care but tuition. i love how mike mentioned that mitch daniels gave everybody a deduction in indiana. that makes you a tough -- a touch more careful, but we have to get away from other people's money. spending four or five times more than it would cost to lift every american out of poverty. where is the money going? we could double everybody out of poverty and still save 60%, but we insist giving poor people benefit in kind. companies do not want to give people money, they want to give them hea

let's talk now with in washington alex nicholson, legislative director for the organization iraq andwith us. we just heard from a vet last hour. another veteran, who says veteran doss not abandon other veterans and there is some sort of a backlash to some degree for the firing. well, the resignation of shin sek pin seki. as a veteran yourself, thank you for your service. what is your opinion? >> she a well-decorated widely respected man who did a good job at the v.a. the issue became he had been lied to by many subordinates in the v.a. and detached from a lot of the problems deep down in thataucracy and ultimately the president and shinseki decided it was best to try to fix the problems, that he step aside and new leadership come in. there's no do doubt that everyone pretty much agrees that general shinseki has a long celebrated, decorated career and is a very honorable man who honestly wanted to help veterans. >> so the leader of the organization, at least the chief of staff, had a closed door meeting with shinseki on the 29th. i've got the press release from the website. you write

let's bring in paul sullivan, and also joining us is alex nicholson, director for iraq and afghanistan veterans of america. good to have you both with us. >> glad to be here. >> alex, these kinds of delays have been going on for sometime, for years. the alleged cover-ups are egregious, but the bigger question is, why haven't things changed? >> well, that's a good question, and that's what we are asking the v.a. secretary and president obama, and we would love to see them more vocal on this. we think those questions need to be answered. we've known this has been going on for years. it's nothing new. our members have been telling us about it for years, and they're outraged. we're ready for answers, from the secretary, from the president, and just a couple of cherry-picked media interviews on the topic is not going to be sufficient. we need answers on this. >> john, do you have answers? >> oh, there are definitely reasons why there are problems sat v.a. it's simple -- supply and demand. first, there aren't enough doctors to treat the veterans showing up for care, so the v.a. facilities ar
