. >> so these two patriarchs, they fought in the civil war. it is unlikely to me that they wanted to keep fighting, but when you have lives taken and you live in a very biblical way, you have an eye for an eye. america was a place where you could not always get at the law. you could not always get at justice and you had to mete it out your way. so these were complicated times. were complicated. tavis: what is it about -- i am going to make the assumption that there is something about these westerns, for lack of a better word, that you like. but what is it about these kinds of timepieces that turn you on? the hats, the guns? >> well, you know, we live in societies now where, if you have a problem, chances are you are going to call your lawyer. you know? you are going to call your agent, maybe your pr person. back then, you had to arbitrate your own problems. there was a real reality. too many of the westerns maybe we're talking about aren't good because it is the black hat, it is the white hat, and life is a lot grayer than that. but because th

palestinian women dubbed the speed sisters have become local racing stars policy or finds out braving the patriarchal world of the middle east wasn't easy. after fashionable and philistine yet this is the middle east coast female racing team they have got style and panache and they're all to smash speed records and stereotypes in the conservative world they were quoting. the whole nothing i say with a boy and we should be. cleaning something like five palestinian women come from different walks of life they share this. passion for breakneck speed they compete against the men and more often than not they win well some of them they don't like a girl beat and they feel jealous. because sometimes they're between them all sort of girl betty being you you know but slowly they're winning over the male drivers who are now trying to recreate them in the first beginning with us of the little girl is with us. they were not good to be like somehow funny but they were driving good so good memories the whole code was the palestinian women's champ for two years running and often comes in the top ten the first time

the insurance company and the two guys went to jail, and the big gangster in their area, raymond patriarch in providence, r. i., said, "where's the diamond? they get a diamond that big and they don't even come and see me who in the hell do they think they are?" now, the two guys are afraid to come out of prison when their time is up because patriarch here is screaming for the diamond. and it all started with nothing! the whole thing was an illusion. i think it's marvelous. human beings should live an illusion. it's better than the way you live for real down here. c-span: you don't like washington? >> guest: well, i mean, i didn't like this terrible upsetment over sin. all of a sudden they make sin a huge thing, and it captured the city and the country. i don't know. this is tawdry. let's have some real jewelry heist or something of value taken. c-span: did damon runyon ever write politics? >> guest: well, they had the mayor of the city of new york, jimmy walker, but that was entertainment, not politics. in all the reading i've done, i saw him do two jobs. one, he did a job -- a long, long

the patriarch was always very careful and never wanted to appear dependent on the state.ate relations. he was not an american separationist. he was very careful to ensure the church never appeared to be a junior partner to the state. now you have a perception that the state has to prop up the institutional church. we have seen it now with what has happened in some of these incidents, graffiti on cathedrals and crosses being chopped down in parts of russian, which indicate within society there is more of a split. certainly, the orthodox church in russia has a contract of very dedicated activists, but there are also people out there that are less sanguine about a role of the church and society and the idea that the church could act as a neutral spokesman, and if we think about what the patriarch said in 1993 during the political crisis when he portrayed himself above politics, someone who could negotiate between different factions and russian society, after this incident, my sense and might fear is the church becomes one faction among the many rather than being able to play

a neighborhood patriarch he has never heard of what was called a stick up on the street. >> we have had break-ins into the houses over the years, but it has generally been a very peaceful very quiet place. >> they have people who work at the imf, the world bank. families. there have been cars that have been rifled through but nothing like this. jennifer donelan abc 7 news. >> thank you. 3 behind bars and facing it charges about fees collected in chantilly. the three began stealing the parking fees in april 2009 shortly after the company took over. >> after eight years and billions of dollars, a huge event in space exploration as the nasa curiosity and lands on mars. >> this is the coolest story of the day. can you not tell they are so psyched to? they are celebrating and learning. >> it has been very busy down here today people stopping by, curious about curiosity and an excited about what it may find on mars. >> there is excitement over the latest nasa mission to mars. that is an understatement. this is the reaction at mission control this morning when curiosity landed on the surface o

and will there were somewhat self-styled queer academics that said this is coopting us into this patriarchal institution that's restricting us and the fact is this is something a lot of people wanted. they wanted to settle down and the house with a white picket fence and so on. so it wasn't so much jonathan and andrew sullivan and others argued for this and then everyone sort of read the arguments and were convinced and, on. they were responding to something that was already a desire within the community and corresponds to make universal companion ship. islamic what do you think is different about -- you talked about same-sex and opposite sex relationships. let's just leave the lesbians out of that. what have you observed and obviously you have relatives and family and friends that are in opposite sex relationships. there are a lot of ways. how do you think that they are different? >> how do i think that opposite sex and syntex -- >> loving across the gender divide. >> the fact that different sex relationships can create life is huge and something i acknowledge in the book any relationship t

some self-styled academics who have said this is co-opting us into this patriarchal institution and re-shifting us but the fact is this is something that people want. they wanted to settle down and a house with a white picket fence and so on. i think that so it wasn't so much jonathan and andrew sullivan and others argued for this and everyone sort of read the arguments and work in bense and ben kennecott on. i think they were responding to something that was already a real desire within the community and corresponds to universal human desire for companionship and intimacy, for love. >> what do you think is different? you talked about the groundwork for same-sex and opposite sex relationships. we will just leave the lesbians out of that. what do you observe and obviously you have relatives and family and friends who are -- in relationships. how do you think they are different? >> how do i think that the opposite sex relationships -- see across the gender divide? >> the fact that different sex relationships that create new life is huge. this is something you talked about in the book and somethin

the head of the russian orthodox church, the patriarch, said last year that putin was a miracle of godo the controversial elections we had in march, the presidential elections, he repeatedly came out to support vladimir putin. this is what really upset the women. they emerged as part of this greater protest movement against putin. so this particular protest was their way of showing why is the church basically campaigning for a certain candidate? >> so back in '05 there was another high-profile imprisonment of the billionaire -- you'll have to pardon my pronunciation, mikhael. it turns out his sentence was about being 12 years. they got two years. he got 12 years. did they get off lightly? >> the first one shows the goals -- the first round of putin's presidency. this attempt to kind of get the very rich people, the oligarchs of russia under control, and to get rid of potential political opponents. whereas this trial is really against sort of grassroots dissidents against him. >> from what i gather, this is sort of a two-pronged effort by president putin, number one, to send messages to

i want to start with the patriarch. what is this? will it is a sort of extraordinary story. ted kennedy, before his death, reached out to david nassau clammed biography of andrew carnegie among other things, and gave him an extraordinary offer which is he gave him exclusive access to the kennedy family papers, the papers of his father, joseph kennedy, which have never been shared with any biographer, and there were no strings attached. there was no family review, and david spent years on this book digging through the archives, digging past the mess and starting from scratch. one of the things the papers allowed him to do of course is to get a kind of closer to the core of joseph kennedy because they'd never been used but i think crucially for the first time they were able to follow the money. the kennedy family fortune as always kind of a black box, and he's really able to put together exactly how joseph kennedy did it. hollywood is a big part of the story that hasn't exactly been understood before. and we all know about wall street. we all know of some of the myths some are

. >> joanna, i think it is fair to say the lds church like the catholic church has a patriarchal structurest wondering your perspective as a woman and outspoken woman how you view the role of women within the church. >> it's an important question that is one that is unfolding in mormon communities right now as we speak on the internet. there are important discussions about the role that women play in the church. when i was a little girl raised in a very observant mormon home as i talk about in the book i was raised not even to aspire to a career really. church leaders were telling us your job is to be a mom at home. i know women who forewent careers trying to be obedient, mormon women. but you know, women's lives are always more complicated than church teachings permit sometimes. there are all sorts of women who have contributions to make to the church. right now we wonder if the very gender conservative structure of the mormon church in which women are in the priesthood but moreover aren't involved in policy making decisions at many levels whether that needs to be retooled for the 21st ce

. >> ted kennedy became the patriarch of the kennedy family with all the kids and the cousins. now? >> i don't think -- there is no more. a void was left by ted kennedy. i mean, when he would show up at hyannis port or in washington, the rest of the kennedy family would galvanize around him and he would tell them what was going on in washington or the inside scoop on things. that doesn't exist anymore. it's a lot of just different people trying to make it through life. it's just remarkable how bobby kennedy's kids keep making public policy influences. carrie kennedy in human rights, making documentary films. they're always in the limelight. but doing very important public service work. so the kennedy name is still very popular. remember, one out of four americans is catholic. this was the catholic american president jfk. the catholics of the world look up to the kennedys. they -- if you're a kennedy and you go to italy or argentina, you're treated as royalty. in the united states we're endlessly fascinated by the family. >> all right. douglas brinkley reporting live this more t

it really points to the patriarchal system of this country that men feel such a right to talk about things that have nothing to do about them. as a black women, i am happy we quit saying where black people should or shouldn't go in this country. and i think we should do the same with women. since the 13th century. >> the view that says you can have an abortion if you have been raped, but not for any other circumstance, is related to the older idea of abortion, which we now -- which the pro lifers have -- the anti choicers have pretty much dropped, which it's a sexual sin, follows from wrong sex, that sex is a contract to have a baby. which would come as a huge surprise to most people. the two anti choice ideas have gotten conflated. one, the earlier idea which is the idea of st. augustine and st. thomas aquinas, which abortion is wrong, because you aren't supposed to be having sex, and the only reason to have sex is to create a baby and any other time you have sex you are already committing a sin. >> and the arguments against legal abortion, initially were all about that it was going to en

think she's come up through the ranks at a time where she's had to completely embrace the sort of patriarchalary, i think she's a really hard-boiled soldier. >> interesting you talk about this language of soldier. as i was watching the episodes, i thought this is a war movie, but it's war in such a different way, because it's not combat on the field of combat. this is actually combat of the soldier within the very system itself. what compelled you towards this project? what drew you to it? >> well, i had been studying the subject for a while. not specifically military sexual trauma, but what it means to be a woman in the military, and it's interesting to me sort of the juxtaposition of gender stereotypes within the militaristic culture if that makes sense. i was interested in how does a woman become a warrior? what does it take to become a warrior within that context. >> actually, it does make a lot of sense, particularly with the harshness that the character you play responds to the young soldier who is saying i've been raped, and that harshness is meant -- it seems to me, at least in watchi

he's pure patriarchal meanness. >> i thought he was mo rose. >> that's the point. >> too hang dog toison has ruined an entire generation of women who -- because of him as han solo. he is hot. but it's not just that. he plays an underdog that we can identify with. at the same time, he's better than us. >> smart underdog. >> exactly. >> there was a period in the '70s where fast talking -- harrison ford knocked that out. >> david, you went tougher at number two. you went to jackie chan. >> jackie chan, though, is the example of the action hero who is both acrobat and clown. he studied buster keaton's moves. so he has a poker face on an amazingly elastic body. whatever obstacles you throw at him, he can juggle them out of the way. he can use the pieces of props much he's like a great ballerina in a lot of ways. he's like donald o'connor in singing in the rain. >> lisa, sean connery. >> did you know that today is his 82nd birthday. >> happy birthday, sean. >> at this age, he's the one. he's the manly standard. i love sean connery because he could o order a martini shaken not stirred and s
