amazing story of a woman who really was not about feminists, she was a runner, a junior at syracuse universityme was katherine switzer. she decided to enter the boston marathon. >> it was 1967. >> the 1967 boston marathon was run in some of the worst conditions in history. while most of the crowd was focused on the front of the pack, another runner was making a store far behind. >> the idea of running long distance was always considered questionable for women because an arduous activity would mean you'd get big legs, grow a mustache and hair on your chest in your uterus would fall out. >> in 1967, katherine switzer was a junior at syracuse university. because syracuse had no women's track team, she began training with the manager of the men's team, a part-time mailman named arnie briggs. >> he told me about the greatest day in his life every year, which was the boston marathon. we were running and he began telling me another boston marathon story. i said, quit talking about the dawn marathon and run it. my dream then became to prove i could run 26 miles from 385 yards. for seven years the bost

this past thursday night i had the pleasure of speaking on the campus was syracuse university to members of the faculty and student body on the future of conservatism. it was sponsorped with the republicans on campus who are in the minority in syracuse. futuruv conservatism is better in the hands of the students that i met than the adults who think they are in charge. i had dinner with 10 of the students before the spheech and i absolutely loved hearing those students explain what made them believe in a free market economy and sanctity of human life and limited government and strong national they didn't hold those views because it would make them more popular and loved by the fellow students. but because they thought through how they could be best be freed. plenty of them disagreed with everything that i stood for and even though hosstudents were respectful and gracious. today a students are not engaged and they fail would to care about their future. flankliip am not sure that a preponderous of stunes were all that totally plugged in either. some of my generation are active to push to 18

a research group connected to syracuse university found federal weapons prosecutions have declined to their lowest levels in nearly a decade. president obama is expected to speak about gun violence during an address in his home city of chicago today. a media advocacy group says a record number of journalists were imprisoned around the world last year in what it termed a deteriorating environment for press freedom. the committee to protect journalists says 232 journalists were jailed last year, the highest number since surveying began in 1990. 70 journalists were killed in a line of duty, an increase of more than 40% from the previous year. a top native american leader is urging house lawmakers to reauthorize the violence against women act and follow tribal governments to prosecute non- native men who abuse women on tribal lands. jefferson kiel, president of the national congress of american indians, made the remarks thursday in the state of indian nations address. he said the death rate of native women on some reservations is 10 times the national average. nearly 60% of native women a

this past thursday night i had the pleasure of speaking on the campus of syracuse university to members of the student body, faculty and community on the topic of the future of conservativism. and it was sponsored by the college republicans on campus who are definitely in the minority at syracuse. you know, i think i've learned that the future of conservativism is a lot better in the hands of some of the students that i met than i feel it is with some of the adults who think they're in charge. i had dinner with about ten of the students before the speech and i absolutely loved hearing those students explain what made them believe in a free market economy. individual responsibility, sanctionty of human life and defense. pan they didn't hold the views because it would make them popular and loved by fellow students. they thought through how their future and their country could best be free he. there were present of students who attended who told me they disagreed with pretty much everything i stood for. even those students were respectful and gracious. >> i took issue with the commonly hel

watkins, a professor of entrepreneurship at syracuse university, so why isn't it fair?e way it's done. >> well, you know, i think that the burden of proof is on the ncaa for the most part. i think -- >> john: the ncaa is the institution that sort of runs college sports, and they have a rule no money. >> well, they do give the player a scholarship. my question would be if you went to nick saban and said we're going to take away your $5 million salary and give you a free education for you and your family, how would he feel about that? >> john: the football coach made five and a half million. >> exactly. exactly. so i think that what we have to realize is that we live in america, and we live in a society where we have things called labor rights, where people are allowed to negotiate their salaries, and it doesn't make any sense that you see these games, they're making millions of dollars. nobody turns on a college basketball game to see the coach. they turn the game on to see the players, so why is that player's mother, father, etc. not allowed to share in the revenue? i t

joining me tonight david cay johnston, professor at syracuse university and pulitzer winning journalisteat to have you on with us tonight. why did these groups like the fix the debt outfit want americans to think the deficit is just out of control? >> oh, it's central to their whole marketing campaign. they represent very wealthy people like pete peterson who want all the benefits of living in america. and by the way, where are the pete peterson factories and the pete peterson payroll people. they're just financial speculators at blackstone. it's crucial that they're making huge fortunes while not doing anything productive. so they'll do anything they can to argue we are in terrible trouble if we maintain government services that actually help real businesses do business like airlines and food companies. >> i guess when i look at the numbers that are playing out right now, you have to have the question, is deficit reduction an urgent problem that needs to be faced? because it seems like the president's plan wants to take care of this over time. that if we, you know, mind our p's and q's

boyce watkins, professor of syracuse university. michael scola, editor in chief of blackglobal.com.ay it shocked a lot of us when we saw these two stories? >> well, it's obviously shocking. anytime, anybody slaps a baby, that's just not going to be acceptable. but what's really interesting to me, clearly alcohol was involved. and my dad told me that a drunk will tell all secrets. not that he's a drunk, but the secret is there's a lot of racial anxiety that a lot of americans have that they're afraid to express. and in this case, it slipped out because the baby wasn't just a loud baby to him it was a loud black baby which made it worse. he's going to pay a price for that, as it should. >> michael, what do you make of this, the "n" word was used. make that very clear. do you think this comes from anger, rage, stress? or is this downright some people who are still racist back in 2013? >> suzanne, i think that this country, we are certainly going through some growing pains. i don't look at it as a stepback. i think there's growing pains in this nation, there are a lot of folks who are t

. >> you know, chris, i remember on campus in syracuse university where i went.e spike in rapes when i was a student there and all we had were the call boxes he's referring to. there were blue lights they look like telephones across campus and if you found yourself chased or under attacked by a rapist, and certainly couldn't have a gun on campus, the only option was to run and try to pull the phone off the phone hook. you can't carry mace, you can't do anything legally on campus there or in most places here in new york city. so the answer from this guy in the house in colorado is, i mean, the college campus in colorado springs is saying, urinate on your attacker. i mean, that's what women are left to consider. >> the whole thing is pretty amazing, isn't it? and leslie, i think it would be a political issue rather than a gender issue if the gentleman involved were a republican and he was talking about legitimate fear of rape. >> no, you're wrong. >> well, okay, but if it was a legitimate fear of rape that he was talking about, maybe you wouldn't do it, that certai
