my book, "margaret sanger" a life of passion, is an effort to re-situated sanger, to place her in the context of her times, especially insofar as 20th century genesis him is concerned. the great story of her life it seems to me is how a young, uneducated nobody without money or contacts, without training in the persuasive techniques of lecturing and writing, a woman who suffered from tuberculosis for much of her early life, and in her later life heart trouble and gallbladder disease. how did this woman become the leader of an effective campaign to make contraception legal, cheap, effect did, and accessible. it was none of these things. when she began that summer in 1912, it was all of those things. when she died in 1966. when she began, sanger faced a daunting task. she had to reorient sexual values. she had to gain acceptance for the revolutionary notion that sex and reproduction could be separate. anyone here think that it wouldn't be separate, and that by the way is one of her contributions to both men and women. and women could enjoy sex without worrying about urgency. in this str

>> my name is john sanger. i happen to be out of town when the board of trustees was asked to represent the art institute, a soap by would appreciate continuance, but we look forward to the opportunity to speak with supervisor wiener's staff. supervisor wiener: you are representing -- >> not at all. not the academy of art. the art institute. it is an important distinction for us. 70 years' worth. supervisor wiener: apologies. we are very happy to sit down and speak with you. >> we appreciate it. supervisor mar: is there anyone else who wishes to speak? there is a motion to defer this until march 26. what the objection? ms. miller, please read item number one. clerk miller: item number one, the planning code automobiles sale or rental. supervisor mar: we do not have supervisor elsbernd. >> this is by conditional use authorization only. there are on this map about 12 areas in the city encompassing 28 properties that are currently zoned ncs, and they are throughout the city, and you can see them in that red part.

i'm priya sanger. i'm president of the bar association of san francisco. basf, as we note the bar association to be called, has had a long relationship with the public defenders office. it is crucially important for administration of justice. and so is san francisco conflicts panels where administration, which the bar association has provided in partnership with public defenders. so in san francisco when a public defender has a conflict of interest, criminal defendants and minors are represented by private attorneys from a panel administered by the bar association of san francisco. maintaining this independent body of attorneys is critically important as a well-run public defenders office. we are each other's complement. we are the sum of the parts that makes whole the criminal departments working so well in san francisco. in 2003 the superior court contracted with the bar association of san francisco indigent to have cost-saving oversight to the administration and billing associated with conflicts. so tron is the director of the courts administration and

and general david sanger. >> ole what's his name. >> who knows a lot about everything. he's the chief washington correspondent for the new york times, one of the newspaper's senior writers. he really isn't a general. i forget in this day of the internet there are no jokes. he's reported from new york, tokyo and washington. he's author of several books. you haven't seen his bi-line lately because he's in the process of writing another book. what is your -- let's just start off and give you a little plug. >> the new book is a look at the obama administration's national security policy, it deals with with afghanistan and pakistan, it deals a lot with iran, as you would imagine, a bit with the arab spring and china. mostly it's an effort to try to explore what's new and different about this administration versus the bush administration. how you compare the promises that they came in with with what actually happened. the world's been a little busy in the years since the president was inaugurated. >> when does it come out? >> in june. >> let's just start out with this, i'd li

sanger was just saying, my conundrum is that given the course of diplomacy requires threat of credible force, the problem is, on the one hand, rigorous debate about policy is important for policy. if the vocal opposition to an iranian strike passes a certain threshold the iranians feel the threat is no longer credible. is it possible that having the discussion publicly is actually limiting the options that might even inning crease the likelihood that people think we have to make an attack? >> my two cents would be that it's certainly possible that that's the case, but probably unlikely. they don't know exactly what's in our head any more than we know what's in their head, and that ambiguity tends to work in sour favor. you always build your add vir sayrery up to be ten feet tall because you have to. you don't want to take the risk of underestimating an adversara. it's not likely it's going to diminish the threat a strike. but i think following on the same threat is that while you want to tone down the rhetoric, you want to try to make sure and work hard to have an official channel that

. >> the trail traces the outskirts of suctiny central valley towns as reedley, selma, and sanger. and as the landscape wakes up around the area, so does business. take simonian farms, for example. just outside thfrno city limits is where you'll find this 20-acre family owned operation that has grown 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables for more than00 years, and doesn't looc to close shop atime soon. especially if the lion of fans the place has earned over the years has anything to say about it. >> oh, my god. just for people to see it. i don't think they've ever seen anything likthis. toee the beautiful blossoms, and the colors, and thcountryside, and what--what it really takes to doing farming. i mean, i think--god, i just-- i just think they get a lot out ofhis. >> blossoms are one of the most visible signs a new crop is on the way. and for about 6 weeks out of the year, you can see this spectacular sight, trees flushed full of blossoms. some have as many as 20,000 per tree. but the one thing yo discover quite quickly about the blossom trail is, besides highlighting the beaut

sanger was saying. my conundrum is, given that force diplomacy requires incredible forces, the problem is on the one hand there is debate about policies but on the other hand it's a global opposition to an iranian strike may be passes a certain threshold that their winnings feel that threat is no longer credible and as a possible in even having this discussion publicly is actually limiting the option that might increase the likelihood of -- >> my 2 cents would be certainly it's possible that is the case but probably unlikely. they don't know exactly what is in our head anymore than we know what is in their head and that ambiguity tends to work in our favor. uis build your adversary up and they tend to be tall because you have to. you don't want to take the risk of underestimating an adversary so it's not likely that it's going to diminish the threat of a strike. but i think following on the same thread is that while you want to tone down the rhetoric, you want to try to make sure and work hard and have

on this first day cover, you can see, this is an artist sketch of margaret sanger, she's the founder of planned parenthood. the quote that goes along with her there on the first day cover is, "no woman can call herself free until she can choose whether or not to be a mother." this is the planned parenthood stamp from 1972. it is the pro-choice stamp. and what you're looking at here is a letter from george h.w. bush to planned parenthood that year. mr. bush was u.n. ambassador at the time and this letter, he wrote from his office at the united nations, to alan gutmaker, the president of planned parenthood at the time, congratulating the president of planned parenthood and his colleagues on their new family planning pro-choice stamp. "efforts like this that help further work of worldwide importance are something for which country can justly be proud. i'm honored to own this first day cover and deeply appreciative of the dedication that it symbolizes." george h.w. bush writing that to planned parenthood. before he was a u.n. ambassador, mr. bush, of course, had been a member of congress
