right here realizing patterson may be coming on a blitz, the safety over the top, just swing it out, let him pick up the first down. excellent job of recognizing what the defense is going to do for you. >> dave: patterson has a ton of talent. inside the 15, down to the 14- yard line. you know, we talked bout jevan snead and the

. -- ann patterson, our ambassador there who has been kept on because we have high confidence in her.i was unable to get to moscow earlier for logistical reasons. that was a scheduling thing. in that talk, we outlined to the russians our strategic view and put forward the simple proposition that russia and the united states, like all the countries in the neighborhood, have a common strategic asymmetry. stability is something that is important to all the neighbors and near-makers. the russians pointed out that they have legitimate strategic concerns in the area, which we agree with. they have one overriding issue which is mentioned prominently in the joint communique of president obama and president medvedev and that is narcotics. that is a big issue for the russians. we talked a lot about how we could work together on that issue and we explain our policies. i met with the deputy national- security adviser. that was saturday labrov and i reassured them that they -- that wassergei labirov. i met with the russian equivalent of fema. we agreed we will continue the dialogue. i took an inte

not that stephen king or james patterson or any number of people don't read good books of the sort. but i don't want people just reading their books. i want them to read all kind of books and that is where the book section and books like classics for pleasure encourage people to do. read a round, don't just follow the herd to the few books at the front of the store. look at the shelves. go to the library. talk to your friends, librarians. what do they like? and then explore the books of the past as well as the present. >> i'm going to put it to the test because you just mentioned. you are a bookseller and i walk into your bookstore and i want michael dirda to recommend three books to purchase. >> well classics for pleasure.

there have been studies on this and a good book to read would be thomas patterson's the bin eshing voter ernie interviewed something like 90,000 voters but there's a correlation. first dca korelitz station in the interest itself when you look of the that turned out for ross perot compared to the other debates that did not have a third party in line and that is one of the factors that people cited by they don't go vote. the lot of times it is convenient, came to the polls, had to go home for my kids, had to work or whatever but it is one of the factors that there is not the range of choice so there are a number of stories that have been done on this and they are probably should be more. i am going to diff thorned-- defend the civil service and say i think it would be more fair to say that there things that are in effectively regulated and there are things that are overregulated and there are things that are unregulated and we could probably be here another 2,000 years debating that here in this room. the system is broken and even though the commissioners of the fec sent a letter to congre

there have been studies on this, and a good book to read would be thomas patterson's "the vanishing voters" where he interviewed something like 90,000 voters but there's a correlation. first you see corporation of interest in the election itself when you look at the viewership that turned up for ross perot compared to the other votes they didn't have a third-party candidate. and guess that's one of the factors people cite why they don't vote. it's not the first factor and a lot of time is convenient. can't get to the poll, have to go home for my kids, have to work, whatever, but it is one of the factors there is in the range of choice, and so there are a number of studies that have been done on this and probably should be more. i am going to defend the civil service here and say that i think it would be fair, more fair to say that there are things that are in effectively regulated. there are things overregulated and things under regulated and we could be here another 2,000 years debating that in this room. but what we need to do is the system is broken and even the commissioners at the ftc

depp appeals to a much wider audience than patterson who is mostly known to teenage girls. christi, my husband asked me who is this guy? what is the big deal. i said he is edward the vampire from "twilight." he needs more exposure. johnny depp has been at this for longer than robert pattenson has been alive. >> wasn't there a scandal when pattenson was questioned about his relationship with kristen stewart? >> ryan seacrest had pattinson what all his fans want the answer to. are he and his co-star a couple. watch what happened? >> what do you say to your fans who are desperate to know about you and your co-star kristin. what can you tell them? you can't ask that question? >> what is bing? >> it is his co-star. >> oh, thank you very much. >> i'm sorry. i was just cut off for the first time ever. >> so the publicist had a hissy fit and that was the end of that. i think rob could have answered with no comment or i'd rather not discuss that. but to walk out of the interview, poor form, rob. >> wow. it didn't look like he had much of a choice. >> i know. well, they do, christi.
