it was almost unheard of for an adult to contract polio. the common name for the disease in those days was infantile paralysis. and, for 39-year-old franklin roosevelt to come down with polio was so striking, that it was, well, the in the first place it was front-page news. this i mentioned partly to correct a common misconception that the american public didn't know that franklin roosevelt had polio. as i say it was reported on the front page of "the new york times." it was repeated in newspapers all over the country. roosevelt received mail from people all over the place who heard about his illness and wished him well or shared their experiences. in many cases, these were people who had contracted polio as children, and then were remarking on the fact, here is this famous public figure. by now he was quite famous. he had in 1920, this is 1921 at age of 39 he contracts polio, in 1920 after seven and a half years assistant secretary of navy under the wilson administration he was nominated for vice president on the democratic ticket. althoug

well, you might say good luck in coming down with polio, yeah, if roosevelt had not come down with polio in 1921, he probably would have been nominated for president in 1924. or if not in 1924, 1928. neither one of those years was a democratic year he would have lost and he would have been damaged and that would have been that. the fact that he had polio required him, allowed him to stay out of the political arena until things turned around. by the time he ran in 1930, 1932, roosevelt was elected in 1932 because he was frank and roosevelt. he was elected because he wasn't herbert hoover. and it was his good fortune to be elected under those circumstances, but it could go on and make the most of it. thank you very much. and, needless to say i will be happy to sign any books.

we will pursue the goal of ending deaths from malaria and tuberculis and we will work to eradate polio. we will fight. we willight neglected tropical disease. and we wi confront illnesses isolation. we will invest in public health systs that promo wellness and fsn the health of mother and children. now, as w are here on behalf of healthier future we mus also op the destrucon that comes not from illness bu from human beings. and so the final areahat want to disss is coli. leme be clear. africa is not the crude caricature of a continent at perpetual war. but if are honest, for far too many africans, conflict is a part of life. asconstant as the n. there are wars over land and ov resources and i is far too easy for tho witho conscience to mipulate whole communities. these conflicts are a millsto around africa's eck. we a have ma idties of tribe and ethnicity, of religion, but defining one's self in opposition to someone who belongs to a differentribe orho worships a different prophet has place in the 21st century. africa's diversity shoulde a source o strength, not a caus division. we are

health economist with the institute of government and public affairs at the university of illinois with polio us with just a promise that this to the poor and public affairs at the university of illinois to see you. how real are the savings of deckhand be found in the current health care burden? not very real. frankly. if it were that easy it would have been done already. there are not through his dollars flying over on the table waiting to be picked up with. for his it's hard we have these to fundamentally oppositional notions of running to increase health resource coverage a lot to spend less. those tubes are at odds with each other. at the core is just the cost of delivering in using the care that contains to increase? is that the core of the issue? that is a critical component of it. that is being misconstrued to rise and have been doing so poor many decades and are doing so in other countries as well as a unique to the u. s p realistic look that almost one-half trillion dollars spent in health-care spending last year almost a fifth of the gross domestic product in the yen stays four time

c-span: you both had polio? >> we both had polio. vj day in august of 1945 we were both in the air force regional hospital in dayton, ohio with polio. it is unbelievable. my case was relatively light. i got out in couple months or month and a half. she had to be transferred from the air force hospital where they couldn't care for her, transferred, i got dean at medical school of harvard to help me and she was transferred to children's hospital in baltimore associated with johns hopkins. they did a fantastic job. at that time they said she would never lift a arm or leg off bed again. people today don't understand polio. it was a terrible scourge. dr. salk and others eliminated that but at that time it was terrible. she would never lift arm or leg off the bed again. tex said to me, bob, you can't go to harvard. i know what those medical bills are. no way. you got to come to ford. finally i said, tell you what i do. i will go out there with you. i think it is insane. some way or other i will pay the damn bills. he said you come. i went

gearing up for a huge vaccination campaign, called the largest campaign since the introduction of the polioaccine 50 years ago and states are told to prepare for an even bigger outbreak in the fall. they orchestrated an even bigger series of attacks and afghanistan, targeting a u.s. base. we're told that six security agents were killed in the attacks, simultaneously, the signature of the new assault. the militants, some dressed in women's clothing, used his suicide bombings, gunfire and rockets at the drive to storm three compounds in eastern gaza. at nearly the same time, a u.s. base was attacked. u.s. forces killed two of you of the three attackers. u.s. military now says that with 31 deaths so far, this month as the deadliest since the invasion back. south carolina's lovestruck governor has not spoken publicly about his affair until today. just up next, what he did when reporters asked about his wife, and what he had to say about people he is supposed to be serving. plus, one scandal of its own. the infamous watergate hotel. now it is on the auction block. it is in the queue. anyone for

we have made real and measurable strides in fighting diseases from malaria to tb to polio and neglected tropical diseases. this is a partnership we intend to continue. a partnership based not just on shared interests, but on shared ideals. ideals forged in struggles for independence, that have made our countries who they are. we believe that democracy is not simply a gift from previous generations but a responsibility for each generation to preserve and to pass on. we believe that no one whether through the influence of politics, the power of money or the fear of force is above the law. and we believe that we are all equal, all endowed with basing human dignity, all entitled to basing human right. it is up to each of us, every one of us, to uphold those ideals. this is true not just in ghana, but for all of africa. america wants to partner with the people of nations of africa, but we all know that the future of africa is in the hand of africans. so i especially want to again speak to the young people of africa. in places like ghana, you make up more than half the population. here is wha

we cured polio, march of dimes didn't go away.have to see what we're making relevant going forward. i want to come back to education. if the president were serious about education and i hope that he is, and i think he's six months into it and the president does that. give him the benefit of the doubt. i think he would have backed the vouchers initiative in washington, d.c. >> he's not going to do it. >> and i think that -- >> i agree. >> i think he would just say it's about redoubling the budgets in terms of the department of education. >> i rode on air force one with him. i asked him about that. he said, look, that's a very small part. the bottom line is taking money out of the system. he believes in charter schools. the reality is this here -- talk about vouchers. but they're failing. in charter schools, they're failing. can you bring up any issues. it still points to the third and fourth grade something is happening when black children and the numbers are dropping when it comes to math and science. you have to confront it. >> h

while older adults can recall the impact of polio or mumps. >>> let's get an update on the steamy forecastb, how is it looking? >> it is a little steamy. our temperature now with the lonesome cloud still up well in the 80s. right now on doppler, once again, there have been showers. one now popping up in montgomery county. take a quick look at that o. as you can see, they are few and far between damascus and frederick. overnight tonight we will see those. tomorrow there is a better chance that all of this may see at least, i think, 60%, 70% chance of needed primarily late day, late day showers and thundershowers. after that, back to more sunshine as we head into the weekend and it will be hazy and humid. it will be also july. make late sunday another chance for showers and thundershowers. see you at 11:00. >> thank you, bob. a church in central florida is using some of its receipts toun en emeur t m encourage members to pay it forward. members of the first baptist church each received envelopes that held $10, $20, $100. they were told to pass on the cash to someone that needs it. the only r

it was polio. it was diarrhea. today it's heart disease and it's cancer. so if we're spending $5 billion on research for cancer and the outcome is so much more, as he said, it was $50 trillion, why aren't we spending more money in terms of finding a cure? >> well, i think you have to look at, you know, a cure for cancer would be a great thing to find. it's going to be very complicated and it's going to be a long time. i would say we've got something closer to home that is even more important, and that's behavior. if you look at the 70% of people who die of chronic diseases, you know, those are caused by three things. they're caused by smoking, obesity, and lack of activity. and those are all behavioral things, all of which we can change with very little cost at all except education. >> yeah, it's a really good point. so steven burd, let me ask you about something that dr. bill frist said in our special tonight. and the question was will we see quality decline if in fact we have a public health care system alongside a private system? what do you think? >> i

be back in force this fall and they're preparing the largest mass immunization campaign since the polior. manny alvarez. tell me something. is this going to work, this vaccine, and do we have the right amount? >> this is a specific amount. this flu season, you will get probably to flu shots. the regular flu, and swine flu. if you look at over 1 million cases so far, over 216 people have died, over 400 worldwide, and once winter comes and the season starts up again and all of those kids go back to school, you are going to see a lot more cases, so you have to be very careful. trace: more than 500 people developed a vaccine-related disorder years ago, claims totaling $1.3 billion. >> a number one, this vaccine does not have any mercury. so -- i've been autistic son. do not worry about the few -- the flute shot this year. it does not have the mercury. when you talk about vaccination, the statistical percentage of people who get side effects is minimal compared to the possible amount of people who could die. 30,000 people die of the regular flu. if you add in the swine flu, you will see that

polio.ht neglected tropical disease and confront illnesses in isolation, we will invest in public health systems that promote wellness and focus on the health of mothers and children. now, as we partner on behalf of a healthier future, we must also stop the destruction that comes not from illness, but from human beings. and so the final area that i will address is conflict. let me be clear. africa is not the crude character rick tour of an economy at perpetual war but if we are honest for far too many africans, conflict is a part of life. constant as the sun. there are wars over land, wars over resources. and it's still far [ inaudible ] those without conscious to manipulate [ inaudible ]. these conflicts are a stone around africa's neck. we all have many identities of tribe and ethnicity and religion and nationality but defining one's self in opposition to someone who belongs to a different tribe or worships a different prophet has no place in the 21st century. africa's diversity should be

i was diagnosed with post polio last year.but i have a one doctor and one hospital to another doctor and hospital, all of them within 6100 miles of where i live in order to go to the procedures to get another information so i can finally go to a doctor who could then diagnosed that i have post polio. but there used to be clinics or you can actually go and get all the diagnostic texts under one room and they would be the variety of medical expertise there that would be able to also follow-through with suspicion because of this test and this test has of this illness but because the insurance companies they are no longer able to do that. and so in essence the insurance companies are the ones controlling what test you can add, when you get them, how you get them and if they are accepted or not. >> host: . >> guest: that brings up the point with regard to one of our big frustrations of insurance companies is in a control the marketplace and what is done. a lot of times doctors are not making the decisions here, a couple of things f

by the summer of 1916 a heat wave and polio epidemic drew crowds to the shoreline in record numbers.r became legend, and the focus of a discovery channel special to launch the network's shark week. "blood in the water" recounts the five unprovoked shark attacks that occurred off new jersey beaches where four victims died. very little was known about sharks then, so the story slipped from memory. nearly 60 years later a movie based on the attacks of that summer hit theaters. "jaws" brought fear back to america's beaches. >> "jaws," i mean, there isn't a better movie, but that's a pretty scary shark. "jaws" had a terrible effect on people and their psyches about sharks. didn't do sharks justice at all. >> stuart cove operates a dive shop in the bahamas, where shark encounters have become big business. >> i think if you talk to folks, they come out of the water and completely change people, and they become shark advocates. >> andy dehart is a marine biologist who studies shark behavior. >> my whole goal is to get people to love sharks like i do. >> beginning monday on "the early show,"

say children may have to be vaccinated at school, in what could be the biggest campaign since the poliodemic of the 1950s. >>> police near chicago say more people may be charged in connection with a cemetery scam. three grave diggers and a cemetery manager accused of digging up more than 300 bodies. dumping the remains in a mass grave. and then, reselling the burial plots for cash. fbi experts will now try to identify the bodies that have been removed. burr oak cemetery is the resting place for many well-known african-americans. >>> finally, let's play with this photo a little bit. it's at the g-8 summit. causing quite a buzz. it afierce show president obama and french president sarkozy, giving a young woman a serious once-over. but pictures can be deceiving. watch the video. obama may be watching his footing. looking at the steps. letting her pass. as opposed to a checkout. look. i hope i don't fall down these stairs. sarkozy, not so clear. not so clear. obama, let me help you. let me help you. please, come down the stairs. that's the news at 7:16. >> the picture's deceiving when you l

like to tell the viewers that we are seeing catherine jackson walk there with a slight rimp, she had polio, we are also joined with michael monroe from "jet" magazine. this is roadway markable family in many ways. they have had their ups, they have had their downs, there is, obviously, a lot of tension and drama as there is in many families, but there are really few families on the public stage like this. >> they have come together at this really taj tragic event. they go back to their time in gary, indiana. joe jackson was there for michael at every turn. having them come together at this moment is solemn and symbolic. >> katherine jackson is now the guardian for michael jackson's three children. we have not seen them emerging from the vehicles, but we anticipate they will be at this ceremony right now and here at the staples center. >> brian, has the family held tight together? i mean, anderson talked about the ups and the downs very much in public view, are they still all very close? >> they are, indeed. you have, in addition to michael, you have janet, randy, marlon, tito, jermaine, an

polio had a big effect.rancis talks about this, it was 5,000 people but it is all in line, it is worth rummaging through, she talks about -- she knew fdr, they were social friends, traveled in the same smart set in manhattan. this upperclass harvard kid, she got to know him again when she was lobbying with state legislature for minimum-wage for women in particular and he didn't support her and she thought he looked down his glasses that people and environmental stuff, he didn't want to help the neediest people. she saw how much he change, she describes, when he first campaign for governor, he had to talk to a union audience and watching as these men had to carry him up the fire escape, the only way he could get there. he was smiling all the way through it. she felt terrible watching the scene. she said this change him and made him compassionate for people and it really contributed to him wanting--particularly during the great depression, because people needed that kind of compassion which he had. it is a com

1980's, initiatives to fight the begin request worm and leprosy in the 1990's and the effort to end polio in this decade. mr. speaker, let me point out some of the highlights of this measure. this bill improves our diplomatic capabilities by funding 1,000 new foreign service professionals and improves our service capabilities by funding 300 new usaid personale. it provides funds for both our multilateral and bilateral peace keeping operations. it provides increases for global health programs that fight the scourge of hisk, t.b. and malaria. it provides development for programs, some of these funds are educating children and providing clean drinking water and sanitation around the world. the bill provides $224 million for liberia, a shining example of post conflict country that is now on the road to recovery instead of becoming a potential failed state and a potential haven for terrorists. now i understand that some of the members plan to offer amendments to cut key increases in programs in this bill. but this is pennywise and -- penny wise and pound foolish. our foreign policy is to be su
