vote against him in the next election jim those same points that i would fall more under the adam putnam model. the secretary of agriculture who's a republican he said that he would like to have more time to read read this new law through so i would agree with adam putnam and i'm surprised that it rusted through in the way that they did it just seems to me that this is not what america is about that we have always been a nation. as. as added rights we had franchised african-americans we had franchised women. not that we're a country that takes away rights. is here and in fact by doing this what governor scott is suggesting in these in these twelve other states is that voting is a privilege not a right and yet the founders and framers of the constitution you know right down to the federalist papers you know thomas payne is famous quote if you take away a man's right to vote you take away the beating heart of democracy you destroy the being our democracy always consider voting a right. is this are we watching our democracy change written for our republic change or in front of us i do agree

putnam, mr. blackwood, especially, how do you see the difference between the mission of libraries and your responsibility to portray the psident fairly in a very public way? but what's the expectation when private money comes in versus public money? and what would be the difference in the way libraries in the future would carry out their museum function? >> right. well, i very much appreciate the support that we receive from our foundation, but it always comes with the understanding that it's the federal eloyees who make the final decision. in our mee seuseum, she writes texts, gets approved by me. there's no influence at all on the foundation. our foundation helps support our digilization project, but it's clear it's the chief archivist. i think that should be the model that foundation could receive funds, but they are in charge of how we portray those stories to the public. >> i would agree with my colleague, mr. putnam. and we are similar at the reagan library. while the support that the found

at the end of the day, uses, as i said it earlier, in emeryville, and development that got a lead putnam award, has a lead market, theaters, restaurants, a mixed use, that this site deserves. in san francisco, we have done theaters and restaurants, again, combined with historic buildings, such as 1000 van ness. at the end of the day, the trick to this will be the financial commitment to getting this thing approved through the different agencies, designed properly and ultimately to poke a tenant from the bay area or san francisco. we have done deals with sales z forcesales zynga, microsoft, and the like, but this will appeal to the whole bay area. which is why we feel the sobrato partnering was a fabulous opportunity for us, for the city, and ports. with that, we are very excited about this project. this is sort of a culmination of what we do. pier 70 would be a highlight of our company and the sobrato organization as well. thank you for your time. thank you. all but three seconds. >> port city is next. i think this is what you walkew. >> good afternoon and thank you for giving us the opp

. >> reporter: robert putnam helped run harvard's inequality project. >> one of our competitive advantages as a society used to be that we were very mobile and we were constantly getting new infusions of talent and so on at the top, and people down near the bottom had a hope that if they didn't do well, their kids could do well. in the past in america a poor kid could grow up in a tenement, go off to city college, do well and himself end up in the next generation pretty well-off. that's what's becoming less likely in america and i think that undermines a crucial part of the american myth or the american dream or the american social contract. >> reporter: adds economist sam bowles: >> america is distinct in the extent to which inequality is inherited from generation to generation. the kids of rich parents have a strong tendency to be rich and the kids with poor parents are very, very likely to be poor to that's one of the things which i think americans find most shocking. that's a huge discrepancy from what we think of as the land of opportunity. >> it is. it's frustrating. what do you tell

>> well, on the unsecured creditors aside, the biggest one is the penguin putnam group which i believeis owed 40 women. after that most of the major execs publishers, for example, simon & schuster is owed 33 million. random house is owed somewhere around the mid-30 million range. harpercollins, mcmillan and so on and so forth. i believe the only publisher that has issued a statement is penguin. others have stayed mom with respect to what's happening. and, of course, there are the larger secured creditors which are bank of america which held credit agreement. they are still almost 200. ibg a capital also is owed almost 50 million off of their own agreement as well. so they have to pay off the banks began to pay off the biggest publishers. and, of course, landlords are trying to get whatever they can as well as additional creditors. so, all told i believe borders pose about 300 or so million, the vendors. and they still have to figure out how they're going to get paid. >> and in your view borders emerge from bankruptcy, or with its remaining stock of stores et cetera become a profitable

at it interesting how robert putnam, the famous sociologist at harvard, who wrote the report and later the book, bowling alone, about social isolation in america, had been working for a number of years on assessing the impact of diversity on civic engagement and democratic participation. he did not like the results he got. essentially he said that it places with the most diversity in america with the lowest levels of social trust, social engagement. people tended to hunger -- hunker down. they became couch potatoes and didn't go the bake sale or join the chamber of commerce. people hunker down in order to escape. yet the "times" promotes diversity as an aggressive creed, and this is not just diversity as a personnel policy but diversity at demographic reality. charles glow saying to the tea partyers you want your country back, you're not going to get it. welcome to america, the remix. it's that triumphalism and the diversity and the cult of ethnicity that is not only bad for our democratic life but it's bad for progressivism itself, and i could enumerate that, and i hope to write about

not far away, at the putnam bank, one after another small business leaders tell me they could create more jobs with more certainty and consistency in government action. in hartford,e capital, we celebrated job corps graduating class. kids who dropped out and came back through training and determining. and in bridgeport, unemployed older workers crowding the workplace, a highly successful job training center, they're there and all around our state because they and people simply want work. at the fuel cell energy corporation, r. daniel barter, the president of this cutting-edge green energy manufacturer, plans to expand his workforce, but he needs to know that he can continue to count on the renewable energy tax credit and workers with the right skills. and in waterbury at a meeting hosted by joe rayley, president of atlantic steel, small business manufacturers describe again and again how they are facing unfair competition from companies in countries breaking the rules. at crescent manufacturing in burlington, steve wilson demonstrates the destructive consequences of chinese currency
