the second memo was by randy michaels, his chosen coo, and it was totally different. it was -- i don't know -- 12 or 13 pages of bullet points not mentioning the word "journalism" and said cut the crap of giving the people what we need to know. this is a attention-deficit disordered society. give them what they are going to read and give them what sells ads, and that is the philosophy that prevailed, and then he wanted to say let's have fun. his idea of fun was not much fun for a lot of other people, particularly women. he was a pretty abusive kind of guy in that regard, and it's well chronicled about some of the incidents that occurred, and so they went with randy, and it was a disaster. they, i think, dumbed down the paper, and i don't think it with the citizens in chicago benefited -- i think the citizens of chicago spoke fairly clearly because i think a lot of them had quit the paper and walked away from it. >> there's a chapter in this book that's titled "count kern". explain that title, and why you decided to write about that topic. >> well, because -- >> count

michael and randi? >> what about elsewhere in the city? you have been in and out for the last couple days. have you seen any other evidence of law and order issues or is it just the sort of chaos of post-battle at the moment? >> reporter: we are definitely seeing a few other issues of law and order, but today, that changed. yesterday, we did see looting in at least two buildings and what we were told when we first came up with our camera was that one of those buildings belonged to one of the gadhafi regime officers and they were going in and they were taking chandeliers out of the building, clothes, whatever they could find, but they swept our cameras down because nobody wants to be looked upon as a criminal. but certainly, we were seeing those issues over the last day or so but now, in the last few hours, people are just celebrating. i think there's a general relief from those who supported the rebels and thought the gadhafi regime should fall. they never thought this moment would happen in a matter of hours as opposed to a matter of week

for some perspective on developments in libya political scientists dr michael based in berkeley california joins us now now dr randy thanks for being with us during some very interesting times then ravel rebels claim his wall has crumbled what's next for libya. well. expect the same thing as you saw it happen in yugoslavia and in eastern europe there will be a massive privatization take place the public economy that could down the government built over forty years which included public subsidies for housing education health care all those things will be privatized the oil the oil fields will be handed over to private companies for private profit death squads will come in to clean up those who might still have a commitment to a social wage or a community wage and this is what we have to look old to privatization deregulation . and the like. where the intervention proves is that. where it intervenes and where it doesn't mean it intervenes in any country that tries to use the labor the natural resources and the markets of their own country for their own self development and their own communal development rather than t
