with his also is judge mark coven, the first justice of the quincy district court in quincy, massachusetts. judge coven has been a judge for over 20 years, has been on the quincy district court since 2000 has been an extensive author and law journal articles on a number of different topics. finally, we have john davidow, executive editor of new media in boston. and john is the 2010 recipient of the knight news challenge grant to do this very program, and so we are going to start with john who will give us an outline of what they've done there in quincy, and then we'll hear from our other panelists and open it to discussion. john? >> thank you. that was very interesting about richard griffiths. i think the best thing to do is rather showed until. so let me just see if we are up alive right now. and, indeed, what is coming out of there. and naturally we are flat line right now. [laughter] but like every good news producer i have a backup. [laughter] so let me get that out. and this is from our archive from august 2. you will notice a very familiar face on the bench. and we can always come ba

he was known as -- john quincy adams called him a gamester.e liked to gamble, he was called a womanizer. he flirted a lot with women, he enjoyed the company of women. he drank significantly. the democrats never let him forget that, and they never let the country forget it. he got those things under control as he aged, but the democrats weren't going to let him out from under that reputation. the other thing i think you have to look at is look at the country itself. it wasn't just clay who did not become president. daniel webster, john c. calhoun. all three of these men were giants in their period, but the nation rejected them and took people with names like fillmore and tyler and names that were not as prominent in in the period -- in the period. it was like the country didn't want strong leadership in that era, andrew jackson being the exception to that. >> and your book is about henry clay's family. what role did they play in his political life? >> well, one of the reasons i became interested in the study was because historians imply, someti

quincy district court was the perfect chores for this project. on a parallel track, there is a dish erie committee. live from court. [laughter] [inaudible] >> there you go. sorry about that. >> i think that is great. we're digging wife proceedings from the court. what i was about to say, on a parallel track, the committee was looking at our existing rule of cameras in the court. we were asked to see what changes could be made to it to update those rules which have been in existence since the late '80s. those rules started out as an experiment, too. the judiciary media committee established a subset of that group. the committee has made some proposals stickleback to the full course. the full court has sent them out for comment. the comment period is over now. it went back to the committee where it is to review those comments to see what adjustments should be made. let me tell you what the proposals are. to step back, you need to know what our current rule is. is presumptively open. all of our judicial proceedings are open. the judge does have the

we started it, we got a letter from the district attorney's office from norfolk county where the quincy district court presides stating their feelings that their should not be an accessible archive. they are in favor of an archive but it should not be public we accessible. -- publicly accessible. >> what is the response from the press in massachusetts to making reporters register? if i did that in west virginia there would be a revolt. >> this is not credentialeding. this is asking them to sign up on a web site and download a form that says i am a journalist and i will agree to these rules. these proposed rules went out for comment and to the news organizations. there were no real objections to that. because we have the judiciary media committee and the role 119 committee which is comprised of journalists as well, they had a hand -- a big hand -- in helping us to devise this proposed rule. if this gets approved in this way, there will be a lot of work in the beginning to get everybody registered but i don't think it will be a problem after that. >> with analytics, you have about 150 peo

he was known as a -- john quincy adams call him a gamester. he liked to gamble. he was called a womanizer. : took people with names like that and, names that were not as prominent in the time. it was like the country did not want strong leaders in that era. andrew jackson being the exception to that. >> and your book is about henry clay and his family. what role did they play in his political life? >> well, one of the reasons i became interested in the study was because historians imply, sometimes state openly that his family was a burden to him, that they restricted his ability to become presidents. i did a biography of a great granddaughter who was a poet. in the process of that i began to see a different picture. clay work is hard at providing for his family and setting his sons up in business as he worked at holding the union together, and simultaneously. a lot of people suggest, for example, that his wife, lucretia, was a burden and did not like washington. washington was not a very popular place for the family because of her. well, what i discovered was she

ambition could be one of the reasons the natives campaign in libya according to professor metze in quincy of bethlehem university and he told r.t. that washington is hoping to reinstate space in the country western powers have interest in libya. most important of course libyan oil and the us used to have a military base in libya. very interested. in military power in libya so in that sense i see a problem in the structure of the libyan revolution and the way that. well clearly the rebels were created by the western powers initially there were a few demonstrations that were being. of course the western powers and the fear. is not just the military power in the areas that they are pushing they have also increasingly put weapons on the ground for the rebels they have also supported them with special forces from britain even the united states but are giving them training and this in some way the legitimate is the rebels because it puts their foreign imprint on centrally what was before the rebellion like the egyptian rebellion or the tunisian rebellion. looks like the latest to celebrate the

sell in relatively short time periods, so it's fairly easy as a thought experiment to see high-free quincyrs cannot impact the stocks. >> reporter: some are saying it's the high-wall street people. why do you think the attention comes back to high frequency trading if what you say is true? >> who you see in the financial trading industry is lots and lots of firms, the multimillion-dollar industry is under pressure. they -- >> reporter: it's a bit of sour grapes. >> it's the oldest trick on wall street to look for a scape goat when you can't explain your own performance. it's always the case everybody who things they'ks they're righ everyone else is wrong. >> when you see moves so quickly, viciously that don't seem to connect to the fundamentals that people are talking about it feels like something is spinning out of control. is that our lack of comfort with technology? is it just adjusting to the new reality? same thing with the flash krarchlt it seems that something broke or is not working right. >> so i thing it's best to answer that as two separate questions because the flash crash real

a rodeo crowd got a little more than they bargained for in quincy, illinois. the first rider yesterday was barely hanging on as you see there when his horse crashed into a fence and then into the crowd. spectators went scrambling as the horse desperately tried to regain its footing. the rider was pinned underneath, but to everyone's relief, all came out okay, including the rider and the horse. >>> in our 2:00 p.m. eastern hour, we're going to give you specifics.

men like john quincy adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country. >> why somebody say that? i don't chalk that up to ignorance, i chalk that up to a weird ideology that says everybody who's a kid on the east coast or midwest who's gone to mount vernon has seen slave quarters. my god, they had slaves here, this is weird, this is "gone with the wind." everybody's imbued with that history. everybody knows sally jefferson had slaves, they all did, madison, all had slaves up to the civil war, why did she say the founding fathers were opposed to slavery and fought to get rid of it unless she's involved with some weird fundamentalism that believes the founding fathers were part of the old testament? >> apparently, one of the things she was reading said the founding fathers didn't really free the slaves because they knew it would be difficult for them. >> they were trading in slaves. back to you, alex, you had a strong feeling on this, i know. this slaving thing is essential to our understanding of who we are as a country. it's our original sin, we're still trying

is high time that we recognize tcontribution of or forbearers who worked tirelessly, men like john quincyslavery was extinguished in the country. >> it should come as no surprise she continues the lie raising the debt ceiling congress gave president obama "a blank check" to spend $2.4 trillion. they said as fact, a lie she repeated to lester holt this morning on the "today" show. >> that you cannot turn the economy around if you give barack obama a blank check fors $2.4 trillion in exchange for looser cuts. >> no, congresswoman, bachmann, everything you just said is a false statement. raising the debt ceiling as lester holt correctly state dd not increase government spending. it guarantees that the united states won't become a deadbeat. that it will pay the bills already rung up by congress, and an institution, by the way, bachmann has been a part of for three terms now. such falsehoods may go over well for folks participating in the ames straw poll tomorrow or republican primary voters in general, but they are a disservice to any american desperate to understand why the economy is in a s

this cowboy and the crowd got a little more than they bargained for yesterday at a rodeo in quincy, illinois the horse crashed into a fence and fell into the stands. wasn't just the rider. it was the horse, too. spectators scrambled to get out of the way. the rider was pinned under the horse for a little bit of time there, but thankfully, all are okay. the rider and the horse. nice ending to that story. >>> you don't have to enter your actual credit card numbers when you purchase online. earlier, i spoke to clyde anderson and he told me about a virtual credit card number. >> the beauty is that they do exist. we know that identity theft is one of the nastiest crimes out, so to be able to protect yourself when people are making online purchases. it's a dummy number. a 16-digit number that's different from your real number. but you can limit it. that's how it protects you. >> so, this is a number that you can get through your bank or credit card company and it has an expiration date, right, so you can use it once or a couple of times or for a month? i mean, how does that work? >> that's the bea

she had shared duties with john quincy adams wife when clay was secretary of state. so she was not beyond the ability to do it. the sons, i don't know what might have happened. they were good businessmen. one of them served as a diplomat to portugal, so they had some experience as government as well. but i think equality interesting what henry clay would have done as president. how his health would have held up from the secretary of state and workload and how his temperament would have fit as president of the united states. i will say that i think matthew kerry, an economist that said if clay had become president, the civil war would have postponeed. significantly. how can you say that, i don't know. you obviously can't prove it. but hi felt like his economic policies would have helped to weaken slavery and therefore taken away the major cause for a civil war. >> booktv was in frankfurt, kentucky as part of our cities tour where we visited several southern cities over the next few months. to bring you a taste of their literary history and culture. for more informatio
