c-span: is he or elizabeth older? >> guest: he's the older, yes. c-span: and how old is bill kristol now? >> guest: bill is now 42. do i get that right? i'd hate to have that wrong. he was born in 52. he's 42. c-span: and how did you start to bring him into the intellectual world? >> guest: we didn't. he just was there; he was just part of our lives. when we had dinner guests, he would be around, i suppose, and we talked all the time. we talked about whatever was going on. i think this may help explain just how all this happens in our kind of family. my daughter, when she was very young -- she must have been 7 or 8 -- had gone off on a weekend date with one of her friends. when she came back she said, "you know, other families aren't like us at all. do you know, in other houses they just sit there and they listen to tv and they don't argue. they don't talk about it all the time." i suppose that defined our house. we always, i think, brought a kind of critical intelligence to bear upon whatever was happening. we weren't just passive about it, and i t

c-span: 'cause he's in the book and... >> guest: ... there. he is. c-span: yeah. and does he have the same theory that racism causes hypertension? >> guest: he might have that theory. i know that he is in favor of considering racism a mental illness. he'd written a book about that recently and he had an op-ed, i remember, in the new york times right after buford furrow, that white--i believe he might have had white supremacist ties, in la a few summers ago, shot some--in a synagogue and then killed an asian man, i believe. and that prompted him to write the op-ed in the times that racism should be considered a mental illness. and in fact, that was brought before the american psychiatric association once, i believe, in the '70s, and he--i believe he was part of a--the effort to have the apa designated as such and put it in the dsm--at that time maybe dsm-i, the diagnostic and statistical manual, you know, the handbook of diagnoses they rejected that. c-span: is there any proof that you know of that on this question about racism that causes physical reaction on the p
