professor julian of princeton, let's start with you. >> guest: i don't agree with the caller and we've raised issues that are not small. you know, the potential of manipulating data and evidence which is the rational for war, failures in katrina, and economic policies, that's not small. we dealt with a lot of big issues, and i think there's disagreement on this panel in terms of evaluating the presidency. i think this is one of the challenges though of studying presidencies in a polarized age. i think many of the people listening and many of the people interacting in conversations kind of read into comments and read into what they see instantly their own politics, and often i find it difficult to have really thoughtful discussions in that environment, but we have to, we have to because i think this is a crucial part of our democracy to study, to evaluate, to debate what happened during different presidencyings in our history. >> host: you worked for president bush. >> guest: i did, and i'm more sympathetic to him, but we had a healthy discussion. one thing i say about the book, is just

of innovation still -- >> guest: what i would say is in the future this will probably lead as to princeton china and you see a great movement of women into the workforce, a lot of the women working in the industrial, a lot of the work, so that we think ultimately increase the value in society and also increase the value within their family and so these things might change but as it stands today in these countries, the women have very little value and this comes from a long tradition and because the of only been a valued at essentially the aarsele very traditional society and the women didn't work outside the household and so the value was -- >> host: there is a cost for the parents because they have to sort of pay -- >> guest: and you have to get married, so you have to invest in the pay for that and over india the dowry payments can amount to several years with a family's income, so this is not just like junk change. >> host: what you have in both of those countries is what typically the caribbean equal number of boys and girls born in growing up to maturity and in both of those countries

nazi germany, henry introduced him to accept a post at the formative institute for learning and princeton, but after a year feeling the controlling president of the institute was enforcing intolerable demands on his personal freedom, the professor threatened to leave. henry attempted to intercede and persuade him otherwise, but his efforts became pointless as naziismism spreading hitler rose to the presidency of germany ruling out alternative options for einstein. henry was still convinced the nazis were just a passing phase until the night 40,000 ordinary citizens looted libraries in private homes and tossed armlets of books into a huge bonfire facing the berlin opera house. meanwhile, as the world turned totally dark for him, henry became more deeply involved in his passion for music. they attended three times a week in dresden, berlin and new york and were great fans of the opera. their social circle grew to include such luminaries of the concert world as tuscany needs, the great leader singer ellena gerhardt and the distinguished violinist zimbalist and fritz chrysler. when henry atte

i am glad i did not go to princeton, because i did not understand half of what dr. west said. i would never have graduated. i would not be sitting here. [laughter] i would first say to you -- i run around the world and i am fortunate enough to do a lot of business around the world. we beat ourselves up pretty bad. i think that is one thing we always like to do. i think there is a lot of countries out there who would love to be america. they love americans. and the fact of the matter is that we are all sitting here talking about this. we are very open and from a very diverse background. that is a good sign. there are a lot of cultures and political factions and powers of their that these kind of discussions would never happen, nor would anything happen because of it. [applause] that is the first thing. we have to not beat ourselves up first. i am going to answer your question about china. that is not to say we do not have problems. it is the rate of growth. this is like companies. mature companies grow slower. immature market -- a mature market. china has caught on. we have bee

i have been a computer science professor at princeton for 17 years.technical research in teaching has been largely in online security and privacy. i come from a long background in the technical aspects of this. i have also worked on some public policy issues as an academic related to security and privacy. that is the basis for a lot of what i expect to be doing at the ftc. as far as a basic approach to the issues, it seems to me that the key issue is empowering consumers, giving consumers better information about what is happening and more effective choices about how their information is gathered and used. ideally, that is something that can be done through the technology, but obviously, government is watching to make sure that companies behave responsibly with consumer data. >> there is so much information already out there. can we protect consumers' privacy right now? >> there are some things we can do. people make decisions every day about when to reveal information. people understand that there are sometimes risks when you decide to reveal informa

let's take one more, princetons, condition we have that is pertinent to the merger and that is the mundane video. the danger is comcast now owning nbc would withhold nbc programming from other online internet sites such as apple or maybe google tv. that's the legitimate concern but this image might produce. however, i think that the broad scope of the condition and the duration of seven years is problematic. if we took and sat down with five of the people deciding what online programming is cui to look like with these companies, we would get five different decisions as to what the business plan looks like, what consumers want and how to monetize the on-line programming we don't know what is the and to look like so i think seven years is a really long time to have a condition when those people who are actually giving it don't know what it's going to look like any way. i'm afraid we are market forming as opposed to a regulatory conditions. is back where did the seven years come from? >> i think it's longer than we ever had at the fcc. it's shorter than the average of the department of justic
