richard? we were all surprised to see casey anthony walk out that door. there are serious security threats against her online. her attorneys have expressed that she has received some directly. although the spokesperson at the jail never said that any threats were made toward the jail. in other words, she never got any letters that they should have been addressing. but it was surprising to just see her walk out. the spokesperson at the jail said she was not going to be given any type of special treatment. she was treated as any other inmate. of course this was a special release due to the public impact of the verdict and the people who were waiting outside protesting. >> what do we know about her demeanor? we're watching some of that video, that 15 seconds of her walking out the door. what did she appear like? what was her condition? >> reporter: only three people have been able to talk, richard, and those are the a.p. journalist, the still photographer for the "orlando sentinel," and of course

richard, we'll start with you. as you watch what happened this morning, how did prime minister cameron do today? was anything left there that was damaging you thought? >> yes. well, look, he did a pretty good job of sounding contrite and expressing regret as you just heard. but there are two big things. most damaging of all, he was pressed several times on whether he had had any conversations with all of his various contacts and friends at rupert murdoch's company in the u.k. about a $12 billion attempt to buy out the reminder of bskyb, the big broadcaster over there. this was a deal that the british government has quasi-judicial authority to approve or deny. all he could say is he had no inappropriate conversations. he kept using that phrase. frankly, it didn't sound like the members of parliament really bought that line. the second thing, a really explosive claim, that someone in the senior government, a senior government official had been hacked and bugged while andy coulson was there. these kinds of allegations

we got notice, richard.ple were expecting for several hours regardless of the rain that was pouring, actually throughout the afternoon, people were waiting, holding up signs. most of them protesting against casey anthony, and just a few in favor of her saying justice was done and there was not enough evidence. one person proposing marriage to casey anthony. but most of the people were actually angered. after 12:00 we know that three journalists were inside the jail. they were allowed inside. only three, one of which is an nbc photojournalist. we've spoken with tony since. he says the moment casey anthony walked out of the jail she showed no emotion, perhaps a slight smirk, maybe even holding back tears he's been reporting, nothing evident, nothing clear. she walked out. she was with jose baez who accompanied her in an suv that took off. that suv made a pit stop at cheney mason as you recall one of the defense attorneys' office building. this was a covered parking lot. after that the suv went on the orlando e

from illinois, he said he moved to florida and learned as richard lage.ded to california where he settled in for nearly a decade as richard sanders. next stop, nevada, where for the last 20 years, he had been known as joseph richard sandelli. over the years he had been arrested a half dozen times. no one caught up. until he was tripped up doing something so routine. renewing his driver's license. he was using somebody else's social security number. he had gotten away it before. but checks put in place after 9/11 got him. >> it was much easier to pull off identity fraud back in 1980s and earlier. we didn't have all of the electronics that we have these days. >> reporter: arthur jones faces charges of identity theft and frauaud, after his luck finally ran out in vegas. ryan owens, abc news. >> all right. that is what's making news in america this morning. >> stay with us for "good morning america." have a great day, everyone. thanks for watching.

but the facility also houses richard ramirez, better known as the night stalker, and richard allen davis, polly klaas' killer. the prison is more than 150 years old. the walls are crumbling. and the institution is outdated, contributing to an overwhelming increase in both the number and severity of brutal assaults by inmates. during the next hour, you will witness life inside san quentin, including a look inside california's vicious death row. >> san quentin opened in 1852 and today, seems physically trapped in the century in which it was conceived. old and decrepit, san quentin is riddled with shadowy alcoves and blind spots. there are no electrified, lethal fences. the towers around the perimeter must still be staffed where, incredibly, there are fewer surveillance cameras than a single convenience store. and worse yet, a lack of modernization has put officers in constant risk of inmate attack. >> every day i walk through those gates, the thought crosses my mind. is today going to be the last? >> the grounds are a sprawling 432 acres located on the shores of beautiful san francisco bay

richard, i'll let you go first.ortunately, the answer is most definitely yes. sometimes defaulting on debt, it's the only way out for countries. over the past 200 years there have been dozens of defaults. among the most recent, russia in 1998, argentina in 2001. both had massive defaults. mexico in '82. narrowly avoided the same defeat in 1994. because behind default bad economic policies. default is evidence of an economy in crisis, stretched to the breaking point, when no one will lend money, bills can't be paid. it is default that forces a change in policies, default that ultimately allows countries to recover, so factor it into the united states and ask yourself is the united states running economic policies which are no longer sustainable? is there a plan to get out of the mess? the u.s. may be a handful of countries that have never defaulted, but such a situation has reached so mess' moment that maybe default is the only answer. >> wow, wow. all right, richard. my turn. i got a minute now. it's about responsib

in the united states. >> jump in, richard.ave something to say about that, particularly this question about rupert murdoch and his role. >> the point is, look, away from phone hacking and the minutia of who hacked whose phones or bribed who, there are real questions asked about corporate governance here. and not only about why didn't they the chain of command escalate these very serious issues, but the independent directors of news corp., what were they doing? and the dual share structure, the voting structure of news corp. that allowed news corp. and the murdoches to have such control over what is a huge public company, pro listed company now. those are other issues. i think we're seeing it from calpers, the california and pension fund on the west coast. we're starting to see it from other institutional investors that are now saying, okay, murdoch has done a very well for the company. he's been a great benefit. but is this the way a company should be run? >> fair, fair, fair questions. fair questions that i twhhink wl be rais

our guest today is richard white. professor of history and co-director at the bill look lane center. we are here discussing his new book "railroaded" and the myths about the transcontinental railroads and the building of the american west. richard, we have got more than one question here that i suppose you have anticipated about the founder of our university. so, one questioner says, the founder of the university that presumably plays your salary as well as that of the moderator. that's me. don't you have anything positive to say about the so-called robber barons? in the same vein another questioner, given your position with stanford, this may be a difficult question. how corrupt was leila's stamford? >> okay. first of all, you know, my wife said one of those things, sometimes she thinks he bites the hand that fed him. that is fair enough. but let me give you a piece of advice that probably most of you already. do not destroy your personal papers. if you destroy your personal papers, your side of everything that happe
