how important are these dinners, sally? >> i think the prime minister said it best when he said strategic partnership. you heard their toast. it wasn't anything about music, flowers -- well, it was some, but it was really about the strategy of our relationship with india and india's position next to pakistan and afghanistan and china and the fact that they are a huge democracy in the area, that we have so much -- we depend so much on india's friendship. they have the nuclear weapons, the pakistanis have nuclear weapons. they are -- we export a lot of jobs to india. india is a hindu country although there are many moslems there, right next to two moslem countries where we saw there was a bombing in mumbai which was a problem. the indians and the pakistanis have a problems with kashmir. we need india, and we need them to be our strategic partners in that area if we're going to succeed in pakistan and afghanistan. so i think that the prime minister really said the key words, strategy, strategic partnership. >> larry: and sally

and jane wants to know what harry, sally, george, and john are thinking. and probably harry is interested to know what jane thinks. and maybe even harry wants to know what jane thinks the sally inks george is saying to john. so if we go to all others, there are five factorials possible interactions of interest. that's 120. actually, only 60 of them are really important, at least according to my model. and a smart person can keep that straight in their head. if you have ten decision-makers, still a very small problem. there are 3.6 million possible interactions, a ten factorial. no one can keep that in their head. again, we don't carry about all of those. i carry. now think about writing down a model. so a model is a symbol of equations, its mass. but the math means that the logic is transparent. you can work through exactly how one goes from input information to results. and the computer is as wonderful instrument. unlike all of us, it requires no sleep, no vacation, no coffee breaks, doesn't belong to a union that says seven hours a day, hour for lunch, n

figure out which purchases had to go back to the rnc or what they were going to do to the clothes, sally got a little concerned and was rushing around trying to get everything done as quickly as she could, and according to chuck, she gave away his only good belt which actually did belong to him but she assumed it belonged to the rnc. and my favorite quote in the book, i think it is because i met him and i know his personality a little bit from the time we spend with him was we asked him what his reaction was when sarah told him she was interested in running for the mayor of wasilla and he said i'm sure i wasn't doing cartwheels or anything. i just thought that was funny. they are a non-political family which is another interesting part of sarah palin's career because the question is why she became so interested in politics, which hopefully the answer a little bit in the book. >> one thing i should have said from the start is that it's going to be very relaxed so please, feel free to come and sit down and fill in the seats so you don't have to stand. but you can stand if you would rather.

sally got a little concerned and was rushing around trying to get everything back. according to sub six, she gave away his only good belt, which actually did want to hand, but she dotted line to the rnc. make your quote in the book and i think it's because i've met him and they know his personality a little bit from the time we sat with them. we often what his reaction was when sarah first told them she was interested in running for mayor of wasilla and he said i'm sure i wasn't doing cartwheels or anything. they are very nonpolitical family, which is another interesting part of sarah palin's career because the question is why she became so interested in politics, which hopefully we answered a little bit in the book. i want to give too much away there. >> please feel free to come and sit down and fill in the seat. you can stand a few brother. instead of just reading, we are going to tell your stories and answer questions. i hope that's okay with everybody. and then feel for a few in the middle feel like sitting down. one thing that we found out while you're out ther

economics in one lesson, sally said, served as a guiding light not only through college but for out my career. every american students should read one day in the life of yvonne misinich. that was the advice of paul oo of the wall street journal who said that short novel explain why we fought the cold war and why we won it. barry goldwater's the conscience of the conservative, the head of public policy and laid the foundation for all that is good and worthwhile in the modern conservative movement and i am happy to note that the american foundation agrees with his assessment and published the conscience of the conservative in 1990. maybe it's time for another edition. are you listening? let me add here the titles of a couple of my favorite books. the roots of american order by russell kirk. this is how five cities, athens, rome, gay jerusalem, london and philadelphia, shaped america. days gone by, william f. buckley jr. is a beautifully written autobiography by the founder of the american conservative movement. ethnic america pleaded no by thomas stole, our foremost black intellectual ex

canal opened it he is operating in the hudson and industrial-- investor relations started with the-- sallytered the lines with newington in new york and in the gold rush. one step after another, he has an unerring sense for where the vital center of commerce was and goes directly to that and manages to find a route in the transportation system that had a decisive strategic advantage over its competitors and then made it pay in a way that nobody else could. the mic is coming. >> the personal fritz on him in terms of his own life, or security? he had so many enemies. >> that is an interesting question because there was a book the day wall street exploded. we have seen a lot of attention given to the fact that these titans have been threatened and attacked in the past. and vanderbilt's case, not that i know of. as a matter of fact even late in life when he was in the '70s and '80s and whether he really did this is an open question but he had a reputation for excepting all callers in his private office on west fourth street and washington square district. he would raise, as kevin baker mention

. >> sally. i wonder if you have any thoughts about whether the shift that you're suggesting into a 21st century government and its relationships with the ngo and the private sector has any implications for some of the changes that we've seen in the relationship between political appointees in government and career staff in government particularly senior career staff? >> whether contracting has an impact on it? >> there's been a lot of changes in the relationship between political appointees and senior government employees over the cause of contracting and a lot of other things. and i just wonder whether you see the changes that you would look for reshaping that in what might be a more positive direction. >> oh, they definitely would reshape it in a more positive direction because the people managing these contractors would hopefully not be coming and going from government would be moving across different sectors of government because obviously to manage these partnerships well you can't just be

sally ride. [applause] she has inspired a generation of boys and girls to set their sights higher. i want to thank nasa for providing the interactive globe to teach young people about our world. i want to welcome smmyth busters from the discovery channel. [applause] i hope that you left the explosives at home. [laughter] finally, allow me to thank the many leaders here today who have agreed to be part of the historic effort to inspire and educate a new generation in math and science. we live in a world of unprecedented perils but also unparalleled potential. medicine can find new cures, but it is attached to a health care system that is bankrupting our government. we confront threats to our security that seek to exploit the openness that is essential to our prosperity. we face challenges in the global marketplace that affect people at all levels. it is an economy where we all share opportunity but also share in crisis. the key to meeting these challenges to improving health and well-being, pressing clean energy, protecting our security, and succeeding in the global economy will be
