[james duesenberry] but in 1965, the real aggregate demand was rising at an annual rate of nearly 8%. it was continuing to rise into 1966. that produced the high-capacity utilization, the ring raw materials prices, and the decline in unemployment accompanied by labor shortages. many economists felt a tax increase would take money from consumers and business. spending would drop, inflationary pressures retreat. but as the tax measure was debated, the white house would unleash new inflationary forces. johnson did

history textbook intended for middle school classrooms. and you are left with the impression that all of human history was achieved by this. >> yes. and unfortunately, that continues. and the biggest challenge for me is american educator is that women's history and women's studies threaten people because the assumption is that all women's issues are about the body and therefore they were all be about ed birth control and therefore it is not appropriate for a middle school class. and education boards pta, those that approve the textbooks and that is controversial. and it's age-appropriate that encourages girls to run for office if they look at where women have come from in terms of political schools and charities. it's very easy to look at the ballot shearers and have it not the controversial and we just don't do that to have lessons that encourage growth to think beyond the imagery of the woman in the private sphere. and i think that is a person who also reads this, putting women's history into something that an honor student should know i

and the education word, pta and the people who approve textbooks that's controversial. my argument is there's plenty of women's history that is age-appropriate that encourages girls to consider the possibility they can run for office or they look at where women have come from in term of being closed out of political lives and schools and juries. it's easy to look at female achievers in history and have it be not controversial and not sexual. but we just don't do that. we don't do the research on the astronomer, maria rachael, or have lessons that encowrnlgt girls to think beyond the imagery of the woman in the private sphere. i think as a person who reads ap u.s. history leader, i'm an exam leader for the college board, putting women's history in to something that an honor student should know is gradually becoming a scuffle main streaming of women's history. now you have to know some for the ap exam. woo hoo! it's a process, but it's also still possible to have textbooks that don't reflect the range of what women have done, or the focus will be women and minorities. and

every textbook says it stops and of course it doesn't. this book starts in 1961.finally, it didn't fail. if it ended, and it didn't end everyplace. it's not because the policies are wrongheaded and it failed. it's because it was killed. he was smarter but works and thomas. these are farmers were systematically targeted for removal in assassination and one by one disappeared in the dead of night. but the weekends now but the end of the war, but 1864 with two interconnected groups. the first of course they're black soldiers who first had to fight for the right to serve their country. until january of 1863 or blacks lead to saving u.s. military. the second interconnected group, black activists, many for the south, but at this point in the north and they have sons and brothers serving in the armed forces. they understood the entire country had to be it from the ground up a niche out there for us to lobby president lincoln and so-called radical republicans in congress and get the most progressives whites in washington who by their standard or not all that progressive b

inside, they found numerous crime novels and textbooks. >> he had one book in his possession about forensic science and the techniques used by forensic science to do different things. >> police also found a detective magazine featuring an article about a murder committed with a pistol with no barrel. coincidentally, the gun found next to blaine hodges' body had no barrel. bramblett owned a pickup truck, but it was white, not red, like the one seen leaving the hodges' driveway. but in the back of bramblett's truck were several .22-caliber cartridge shells. police then visited bramblett's employer to see if he was at work on the day of the murders. on bramblett's time card for that day, one of the entries had been blacked out. and police found a pair of bramblett's blue jeans soaking in a back room sink. could forensic scientists tell whether any of these items were somehow related to the murders? and if bramblett was involved, what was his motive? presidents' day is over, but the savings go on at sleep train. through sunday, save up to $500 on beautyrest and posturepedic. get a sealy queen s

the textbook, introduction to social work and social welfare, paints a less than flattering portraitthe gipper, claiming he, quote, ascribed to women primarily domestic functions and failed to appoint many women to significant positions of power during his presidency. in fact, president reagan appointed sandra day o'connor, the first female supreme court justice and jeane kirkpatrick, the first ambassador to the u.n. the school said it is commitment to academy freedom, quote, our faculty are free to select text for their courses and our students are encouraged to rais questions. >>> if switzerland ever has to fend off attackers, we can only hope it comes in normal business hours while its air force is on duty. it's a lesson learned yesterday as a hijacked ethiopians airline headed for the country. the swiss did not scramble any fighter jets because it was in the middle of the night and its fighter pilots were asleep. switzerland's air force only operates from 8:00 to 5:00 with a generous hour and a half lunch break in the middle, and weekends, they're closed then, too. the hours are

i think jason is a perfect example of not following the textbook.rything he's done at the point he's done it every one of his therapists the doctors were surprised. >> there's a small group of people that know where we started. he was a vegetable. if you look at jason now he's gotten much better. and it's due to people. it's getting out of the hospital and getting back into the community. i think he wants to be treated that way. i think he wants to feel like he's no different than anybody else. now when we take him out, we don't think about it. we wheel him out and go. >> the doctor has told us every time he sees us he doesn't think jason would have made it as far as he has if he was institutionalized. >> my parents pray for me tooth and nail. i don't know where i would be without them. they make me look easy. i know it's not. i owe them every day for that. >> i'm really worried about what's going to happen when mom and dad can't take care of jason. the answer is to prepare jason the best they can. he needs more therapy. he needs to continue to impr

we can get it out of the econ 101 textbook and we have a farther out chapter. let's say that the robots really are taking over in this digital encroachment is going to continue to be broad deep fast and irreversible, then what? what kind of economy do we want to create and there are a couple of parts to be answered and i want to focus on tax policy because one of the questions was about tax. economists have a fairly straightforward answer to what to do about this question about what if the pie is not being distributed in any fairway? the answer is let's give people money. it's just very straightforward. guaranteed income or a guaranteed income plan sounds like a frothing at the mouse social is i say that. my not be too big of a problem here in california but you can have that conversation and a lot of america because it sounds like you are firmly on the far left fringe. fringe. it turns out that was a cornerstone of nixon's and famous socialist like milton friedman and hayek. there's a weird bipartisan history to this idea and if this does continue to play out

. >> it was a textbook case of someone who thought he could outsmart investigators. tried, the more evidence he left. >> he's a guy that thinks he's sharp somewhere smarter than everybody else. so he actually overdid it. >> this particular scene was a -- wealth of forensic evidence. however if you don't foe what to do with the forensic evidence, it's worthless. >> forensics pretty much saved my life. >> fit not for that pizza box, if it's not for the dna under karen's fingernails, you have a guy who potentially is framed and you have another guy who gets away with murder.

. >> investigators point to this case as a textbook example of how forensic science can decipher a complicateds case wouldn't have been solved without forensic science. we had nothing in the way of interviews as far as getting anybody to confess. we had nothing in the way of any other evidence other than the forensic evidence that we were able to identify. >> in most of my closing arguments, i used to quote oliver wendell holmes who said, memories may fade and witnesses dissemble, but circumstances never lie. and circumstances of this case are forensic circumstances and they did not lie. >>> a drive-by shooting on an alaskan highway. and the bomb sent through the mail. two apparently random acts of senseless violence, until forensic science discovered an important link. on an october night in 1990, rob chamberlain and his friend were driving along glenn highway in anchorage, alaska, headed to a local restaurant.

when he set out 'sder -- on viktor yanukovych mind when he set out the order gecko >> this is not a textbookcase of good crisis management, especially from vladimir putin's perspective. rush's, even if it is that at a low public profile on the entire crisis, has tried not to exert itself publicly and visibly. vladimir putin would have wanted this to be handled earlier. russia would have probably favored a crackdown of some sort. but viktor yanukovych panicked in the sense that he waited a while, trying to bite some time, which looked at first as if they were looking at some sort of peaceful resolution of the crisis. amnesty, talk of a concert -- constitutional revision that restricts the president of some of his powers in favor of a stronger parliament. it all seemed to be going ok. the the protesters sacked party headquarters. you also had the march on the parliament itself on the day they were to be debating. the debate never really happened. the revisions to the constitution i just talked about, there was a sense that we have to do something. co. -- yeah new code which -- there was a sens
