the patriarch. i'm going to start right in with joseph kennedy. so the biggest perhaps i guess misconception that i have is joseph kennedy's a bootlegger. joseph kennedy is one of the dukes of hazard. he made his money slinging liquor during prohibition, illegal activities. the book very meticulously says -- >> i would have been delighted had he been a bootlegger because i could have written about momoji and cannes but he wasn't. he wasn't. well, i can't say that you can never prove a negative but there was absolutely no evidence. i mean the people who tried to make him out as a bootlegger relied on the evidence given them by tina sinatra who heard third hand from her father that he had done this deal. al capone's piano tuner who-- . >> jon: you how do you trust al capone's piano tuner, really, have you ever heard al capone's piano, you call that a c flat, please, you're insulting. but what you did show that whether or not he was a bootlegger this man did live on the edge of what we would consider today the ethical boundaries of finance and busine

society and we are not in an agricultural society any longer we can throw away a lot of the old patriarchical sort of reference points of the early religion but keep the original essence of the insight, that we really do depend on each other. >> it feels to me that may be just exactly what this next millennium is all about, because those of us here now, we are pushing things over the cusp on that and it just makes sense. >> sure and it is very different in our experience but the effort here is to sort of try to imagine the cultural social economic ethos that where from which this religion came. and to say that it has a logic with out with holding a bit, our judgment that was wrong because that was dominance, that's too quickly i think to sort of impose our thoughts, they were operating appropriately perhaps in their context and it evolved. >> my girl friend was raised in the east asian culture and every single time i spoke with her she would ask me, "how is your mother?" absolutely every time. it didn't take me long to pick up on this eventually i figured it out and i would ask her then every

>> that's the question i had too, yes. >> well john is right, it is a patriarchal society has evolved that way and may be in a sense - confucianism, as it became institutionalized in the hong dynasty about 2,000 years ago, long after confucius by the way, but they set up these rules to basically one can say, reinforce a patriarchal system. but, in essence the yin yang relationship is not just sort of male/female and dominant/recessive, it is more dynamic than that. it's more like the light on the mountain, and the light in the morning, and the light in the evening, that you can't have one without the other. that each depends on the other for its very existence. that's that interdependence sort of aspect here that the dot on the other side that, high and low, light and dark, life and death. you can't have life as we know it without the concept of death. in fact, this harmonization of opposites is i think an opening to looking at male/female relationships in a positive way. not just statically saying one is above and the other is below, but to say that we're constantly doing things for

at this point, every time the patriarchs are mentioned, the matriarchs were also going to be mentioned. so that's sort of a roundabout way to ask, in islam, is there some such movement? are women coming into parity with men in this faith home? and in your particular, you know, kind of islam, is this true? is this happening also? >> yes. well, again, we look at the real worth of a human person with the intellect and focus and the moral life- the intellect and the moral life is the most important focus for us. and in terms of the moral life and intellect, according to our religion, male and female are one creation- one creation. that's why prophet muhammad insisted that the women be free to be educated, and he gave an incentive- he said if any father would see that two of his daughters are educated, god will give him a paradise. this is in the most popular records of what he did, what prophet muhammad said and did, the records of buhali and muslim- buhali and muslim, e havis- the sayings of the prophet buhali and muslim. and those volumes, you'll find that, where the prophet said that. a

author of "the patriarch." david, i guess what i want to ask you, i have always been sort of struck when i think about the kennedys. today we think of them as symbols of american liberalism. ted kennedy, robert f. kennedy and the old man, he was very, very different. i mean, he was an isolationist. he didn't want nato created. against the marshall plan and the truman doctrine. he was very anti-semitic. how do you get from that man sort of a right wing reactionary democrat almost to ted kennedy? >> he was a great, great father. and he raised his kids to be independent. he raised his kids to think for themselves and they thought for themselves. and he kept encouraging them. they're -- there's one moment in time in which he's talking to supreme court william o douglas, you know, the you will malt liberal. he says to him, i don't know what's wrong with me. two people i love the most in the world are you and jack, my son. and i don't agree with anything either of you ever has to say. >> hmm. well, david, we all had

it was, you know, it was a very patriarchal time. in addition to an insane time in terms of mores and manners that were opposed upon everybody. but sloper is... represents i think a person who is being confronted with a daughter and a young man who are going to be representatives of the next wave. >> rose: chastain, straitharn and stevens for the hour. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: "you are good for nothing unless you are clever," dr. austin sloper declares in henry james' 1880 novel, "washington square." the book tells the story of his daughter, the shy, awkward catherine sloper, whom he views as hopelessly unattractive and not at all clever. when the handsome morris townshend descends on their home and declares his love for catherine, a transformation begins. "the heiress," a theatrical adaptation of james' novel, made its broadway debut in 1947. it has been staged on the great white way every other decade since. a new production starring jessica chasta

statement like that, as we're struggling as we have so often in this class to rid ourselves of patriarchal attitudes, that pushes into tension. so we have that element. but helen you wanted to say-- to point out certain things about unitarian universalists. so, fire away. >> okay, though it is not hyphenated and it's not a coven of unitarian universalists pagans it's a covenant. >> a covenant, okay. >> a coven has a different meaning-- >> oh, sure. >> of wican pagans. >> oh, yes. >> i really feel i owe it to whoever is seeing this, to explain that there are liberal religions which are non-creedal. where you can walk in the door and say this feels at home and you can sign the membership book you cannot walk in to the door of the seventh day adventist, jehovah's witnesses, mormons or christian scientist and just sign a membership book in other words we are non-creedal. and we are not the only ones, there are several groups in liberal religion. virginia here is a member of the society of friends, the quakers, they also are non-creedal and liberal. they don't proselytize and neither do we. and

starting with the patriarch of a family we know well. former president george h.w.ush, 88 years old. we learned today he's been in a houston hospital for nearly a week, for bronchitis, a cough he just can't shake. his doctors say it is not life threatening. they hope to release him soon and we wish him well. >>> and, a white-knuckle fishing trip for a father and daughter in australia. it's our video in the news. watch. a young girl yelling for her dad as two massive humpback whales get way too close to their small fishing boat. listen to her. >> oh, my god, daddy. right there. no closer, please. it's going -- oh, my god, daddy, he's under us. >> that video is burning up the internet tonight. but it has a happy ending. the gentle giants dived under the little motor boat, then calmly came up and swam away. >>> and, now, next, the annual list of the most popular baby names was released today. and here are the top three picks for boys and the top three picks for girls. but as we scanned the whole list, we noticed something unmistakable. the fastest rising names are ana,

that is a continuing challenge talking of patriarchal movements. they are quite explicit in their rejection of any kind of what we would consider modern democratic rights. >> frankly as we have seen in tunisia where the police force did include a significant number of women, the kinds of political transformations underway may as in cases in eastern europe produce a decline in female participation in the work force and the exclusion of women from some of the roles they had occupied previously. there is a whole range of dimensions in which this issue manifests itself. let's go to bill now if we can. thank you. >> i work for dime core international bodies to be director of peacekeeping in the state department. i want to second the things that are set by the panel in the importance of s s r, the first step after the peacekeepers have a temporary peace is to move to us as our to make the peace sustainable. i would like to ask about bob's question on the relative roles of the transitional government, international institutions such as the un, regional in

it was, you know t was a very patriarchal time. and in addition to an insane time in terms of morees and manners that were opposed upon everybody. but sloper is-- represents i think a person who is being confronted with a daughter and a young man who are going to be representatives of the next wave. and we have to think of 1850 to 12 years later, it was the civil war. and the gold rush was happening and the west was indeed opening up. he has a line in the play where he says hear the west is opening up. many men are turns their eyes in that direction. it was-- he was kind of holding on to something that his time was up. >> rose: and dan, your character? >> well, as david says morris is representing this new wave, almost this post industrial or post industrialization wave of young men who were prepared to get their hands dirty, work and wanted to enjoy the beautiful things in life, almost a kind of-- and james is writing washington square in 1880 looking back to 1850, himself sort of choosing that distance of 30 years to explore the

i just think that it challenges that patriarchal system in a way that feels like we are being cut loose. either you are excited about that as i am, or you are frightened about it. and i think there are a lot of my people. lastly, i hope this book will empower you and people you know to do their particular part of this movement. one of my favorite places in the whole world is the national civil rights museum in memphis, tennessee. it is that the old lorraine hotel where doctor king is assassinated. if you go in the hotel, this remarkable museum -- there is a big black monolith of marble or granite or something. and carbonate is this ever upwardly trail of african-americans. everyone of them is either standing on someone else's shoulders or holding hands with someone. he reminds us that african-americans went into the street with snarling dogs and sometimes they did it anyway. and they knew they would not live to see the end of it. but they went anyway. each one of them found their place in that long line. and i think that was what is the need of the movement as well. we will never be mor

beauty and booty as it became to be elaborated was it helps then from leading politicians to family patriarchsargue that mass rape as a marker of true tyranny. men could claim out right that freedom and love was both a root and the fruit of every other kind of liberty. as falling in love and beginning wedded life and patriotic duties, the right to procreate in turn defines the essence of freedom. in this context even those with no formal voice in government could be asked to lend their way to the national effort maximizing the number of people who could be mustered for the country and relaxing barriers to public participation finding with new ways to inspire loyalty to the land, encouraging reproduction. with the stress of war making every person's contribution counts, personal feelings and patriotic feats became connected in new ways. for his general william paul who had claim that emotion without accomplishing and battered for nothing and your jackson proved him wrong. jackson stirring victory in new orleans occurred two full weeks after the united states and great britain had signed a peace

the whole thing was a mess and it was full of hideous racism and they actually said polygamy is a patriarchalnstitution. well, what did they think of monogamous marriage in the 1970s? the only difference between women and polygamist and monogamous marriages is women and monogamous marriages could vote because they have the vote in the territory and women and monogamous marriages didn't have above but of course the lack of divorce on the grounds of cruelty and all these things that were present in monogamous marriage at that time this judge didn't even bother to mention. so i think that case was a terrible mess and today, there would be a very strong interest in protecting gender equality. but polyamory, i think if there were a religion -- it has to be a bona fide religion because when you get some weird claim particularly in the drug area, people are always making up new religions and the court, you know, even though they would on the whole prefer to allow the person sincerity to define the religious claim and whenever it's a matter of where you are skeptical of the motives, they fall back on

he is a patriarch of ours. i want to talk about him a little bit. we arrange this, i think, because we figured post-election would be a really good slow news time to come out to arizona. god knows, we could not predict the director of the cia would resign this week and the worst hurricane or storm to hit new york for 100 years hit two weeks before. i am really proud of the election coverage, which was on the tail end of the storm coverage. and i was proud of the storm coverage. you have hundreds of people reject as a one of the great things for e students to look forward to. when you are with a terrific news organization. i love what i saw here in terms of the broadcast being put on and everybody putting on what as one of the greatest facilities i have seen. the spirit -- you will see it and the local newspaper -- how important it is we are still public servants. i think so much of what happens in a news today, people forget that. they forget -- you are here as a public service. that is an important part of what we do. the idea that everybody of the

patriarchal. this is what some liberal and secular forces have to say, so i would not say it is necessarily an islamist problem per say. the other issue is that the economy is important because, i mean, we tend to look at the questions. women's rights, which is a very important aspect, but also the economy is important. a lot of economic issues and socio-economic problems that are, you know, concealed, but fundamentally questions of clemens rights and empowerment. today we're talking about the problem of the informal sector, and a considerable portion of the egyptian population works in that sector and has no labor protection. the biggest -- the people who are hurting the most from this reality are actually women, so it is not exclusively a question of what they have to offer. ami, what is lot less have to offer on the question of women rights in what they have to say about the question of an important aspect to my but not the only one. >> also securities sector reforms, the question of women's ri
