the original porgy, todd duncan and the original bess, ann brown, they were slated to play the national theater in washington, d.c. >> stephen: what year is this? >> this is 1935 or 1936 and it's a segregated house so they refused to perform and they were threatened with being charged by the equity association and they held their ground and said no, we refuse to perform unless you desecretary general gait this house. so the national theater was desegregated for the first time for "porgy and bess" so they could perform to a completely integrated house and then they segregated as soon as the production closed it went right back to being segregated. >> stephen: wow. can white people do this production? is it mostly black people? >> i'm going to tell you... there are a couple of caucasians... what do you like to be called? white men? >> stephen: white americans. white male americans if you want to be specific. or whitey.

brown who didn't play very much. in exchange they will get a 7- footer andrew bogut and stephen jackson. there is a caveat. bogut is likely out for the season with a broken ankle but is a big man, first pick overall so hopefully next year he will do something for the warriors. >>> meanwhile, we have a little march madness going. the st. mary's gaels are leaving this morning for omaha, nebraska, where they will take part of course in the ncaa men's basketball tournament. >> college hoops fans got a treat at byu beating eye own yeah 78-7 -- iona, 78-72. it's the biggest comeback in tournament history. >> the president was watching. >> i know, with the prime minister. >> there you go. >> amazing stuff. >> big company there. >>> it is 4:56. strong earthquake rocking japan once again. a small tsunami warning that's been issued there. we'll have the very latest. >> and this morning, we hear from the voters what they think should happen to san francisco's sheriff who agreed it a plea deal. >> crews are right now trying to get a tree off of an on-ramp to the highway. we have a risk of hydroplaning and high wind ad

stephen was asked whether he'd ever written science fiction, and his answer was, i hope not. at his 60th birthday party ten years ago, his colleague, gary gibbons, in his tribute quoted the poet robert browning, saying, ah, what a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what with's the heaven for? now, gibbons wasn't implying that stephen had gotten in beyond his depth and should be forgiven for it, at least i don't think that's what he meant. but stephen asked daunting, arguably unanswerable questions, things like what is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes the universe for them to describe? why is there something rather nonnothing? why does the universe go to the bother of existing? these are questions that stray into philosophy and religion, sensible science seldom asks. they're largely irrelevant to the everyday pursuit of most science. and even though, um, the cover of his recent book "the grand design" promises that this book is going to tell us the ultimate answers, it doesn't actually, and stephen goes on asking the questions. ever since then he's still going on saying, you know, i long to know these answers. also in that same book he writes that it is meaningless to a

stephen jackson. end out. in addition to ellis, they give up ekpe udoh and injured center kwame brown. >>> free agency began sixours ago for the nfl. a year after signing randy moss the 49ers lost a receiver close to a deal with the washington redskins. the fourth year receiver who missed most of last year after breaking his leg had expressed interesting in staying san francisco. morgan is from washington, d.c. and went to virginia particular. >>> jason campbell's raider career ended when he broke his collarbone against the gowns and is reportedly come to turns with the bears to be their backup quarterback. >>> after playing in front of an empty staples center, the pac-12 is moving its conference tournament. next year the women will play in seattle while the men will move to las vegas. no gambling jokes, please. cal is hoping that what happened in staples stays in staples. the bears lost 3 of 4 heading into the tournament and got one of the last bids for the ncaa tournament. now they have to play against south florida in one of the first four tomorrow. the bears appear loose. >> we worked really hard to get whe

gary givens in his tribute quoted the poet robert browning saying a man's reach should exceed his grasp or what is heaven for? he wasn't implying stephen had gotten beyond his depth. i don't think that is what he meant. but stephen asked don king, arguably unanswerable questions like what is it that brief fire into the equations and makes the universe for them to describe? why is there something rather than nothing? why does the universe go to the bottom of existing? these stray into philosophy and religion. something that science seldom asks. they're irrelevant to the everyday perception of most science. the cover of the book the grand design promised that this book would tell us the ultimate answers, it doesn't actually and stephen goes on asking the questions. everson fbn he keeps saying i long to know these answers. also in that same book he writes with the answers he proposed or anyone else proposes at that level really represent reality. all of which causes his more dogmatic reductionist statement that he often makes to the media seem not quite stephen hawking. would you agree with him it seems too earthbound big remorse over and
