sova the idea he should pay a higher percentage and the is to be thought rich people don't know what to do with their money but poor people have the great need. what could they possibly do? those who are dying by the bushel but with research and education and. with that is a progressive taxation. >> host: to is the book dedicated to? >> guest: the producer of legendary movies like jurassic park and schindler's list. supporter of steven spielberg eddied is have retired also doing a film together next year of progressivism in the democratic party. >> host: does he share your political inclinations? >> generally but not so much maya political ideas but an american story but the idea is so different i grew up did india and come to america at the age is 17 but he grew up poor in america and went to hollywood at a young age and ended up on universal studios lot with the american dream here is with us that connection so nec's his story soties est. life. >> host: another topic is the issue of reparations for slavery. >> reparations for slavery would be fully justified because it pays somebod

sova will be difficult to make that transition. >> host: it isn't in easy time. >> that's right. three days the same problems of the overall program to cut spending in other areas which is my solution or borrow that money spread out over time but that eventually you have to face those three the matter what you do. >> host: let's talk about medicare spending people worry a lot with social security but medicare is in worse shape. >> host: explain that to. >> medicare is the program for the elderly by and large designed for those who are 65 and older with health insurance in their senior years. there are issues the more sick you get the less it pays and phases out covers up front but doesn't take care of long-term care. but essentially a health care program for the elderly a but medicaid is tricky. it provides a health insurance benefit to the port but the reality is a lot of money is spent for medicaid is back on the elderly because you don't have that long term care component somebody who goes into a nursing home takes money from the medicaid program to pay for that. >> host: they

sova eric is a fantastic arrangement delivered by pericles. the speech is delivered near the beginning of the war and one of the things he focuses on is what makes evidence so special -- athens so special and later it is the idea or the reality that athens does not support foreigners now sparta was known as a place to ruth engaged in occasional deportation of the foreigners but pericles talks about how the love of the mind does not make one strong so what that point it would revolve around a certain topic mattered a great deal. so i think we have a better understanding of selfhood and identity. >> host: after talking to you i feel i was in a seminar we have so much to talk about and you have so much to do teach everybody from history to philosophy and ancient greece. it is very fun and not to mention baseball. we will get to that but you talk about being intellectual and your intellectual pursuits. you are a teenager also living in an area that is not known for intellectual pursuits. oh lot of your friends in death could do not appreciate your

sova to his biography was not top on his agenda. the product that he eventually produced some 80,000 words is pure liro cold brilliance with long passages they you have difficulty following sometimes. you don't know who the people are that are being referred to, and there is no real narrative drive. worse than that, these two men there was no real mainstream publisher who was ready to publish a biography of a strong black hero who challenged the are prevailing racism of the time, particularly the new york police department. so it was all put away. and it sat 65 years and tell i happen to come across tony who told me he had the manuscript. from there it was a question of recreating the life to find out what they were actually talking about and from the vantage point of 60 years later, and the lessons learned since then of their day of the civil-rights movement to stand above it to put everything into the understandable context and hope that it made a great narratives. it was a real voyage of discovery about langston hughes and samuel

sova there were willing to understand and except that side but it was a realization well after even into early 20s to figure out not only did they have tremendous respect for that but in their own way they tried to convey to me what i was doing was cool to them even though they would tease me at the time and it was back-and-forth to figure out these people would say you wouldn't brag about that but we were all operating under the assumption but going back to my neighborhood did i could not talk about it period everybody knew i was going to a fancy school. agent in their own way wanted to talk about it with me but i also was looking for that vocabulary. >> host: i love how you bring up that word. vocabulary. your memoir has a and interesting juxtaposition never said thought it was jarring but now i am understand. you got from the hood and high academic prose and you blend that is a you have curse words and secessions and isocrates'. is a fascinating juxtaposition so why did you decide to write to freightways -- two white -- to write the of their ways? in a field where i could capture maya

sova had to look like a book that never existed before so they got rid of the hardcover and also reduced the size of books and the larger size paperback was four and a half by six and half. they could not print them this tiny as most are eight by 10 inches the publishers had to figure out how to print them and turn to a magazine press it would prevent two books on top of each other then slice them in half. the magazine presses could not use book paper so the publishers decided that is great to make a tender votes and it was the thickness of newsprint. and the book on the left is a hard cover of the right to do is the armed services addition. so i have one in my pocket right now. this is mark twain's mysterious stranger it is a complete book and does fit inside of a pocket it is very lightweight so was a huge boon for the soldiers because they had books that were true the pocket-sized and did that have to fit into a backpack it could fit into the pocket of a standard military uniform. each month they published 30 titles later day ended up publishing 42 titles a month so the entire set wou
