we have 36 degrees at dulles and bwi thurgood marshall, 39 degrees.going to warm up quite nicely into the course of today. pretty close to where we were yesterday. today we are talking sunny skies, light winds, a high of 65 degrees. we do have a frost advisory in effect for the areas we just pointed out to you so be prepared for that. current temperatures, 36 at dulles. 34 at manassas. 39 at baltimore as we said. 39 at hagerstown i'm cool 34 for cumberland. martinsburg at 34 degrees. 34-degree as well to the south in man as is. now, clouds will gradually start to move out today. ridge of high pressure will slide its way across and it will open up the skies to plenty of sunshine today. one thing we are keeping a close eye on though is a disturbance that will move from the ohio valley and head its way through to the east as we move through into the weekend. so areas next to the mason- dixon line could be affected by that that. could set them up for a chance of some showers as we head through into the weekend. yesterday's high, 66 at national and dulles,

it's very ironic that thurgood marshall becomes a supreme court justice and wins that case. but thank you. there's just so many interesting men. who's ever heard of louis cass, for goodness sake? he was the one who went in, createed the university of michigan, created michigan's outstanding public school system, he was a great expert on native americans, in fact, brought into the british science what their group was, but he was honored -- yes, philosophic -- that's right. but they're all interesting characters, and it's a shame they're forgotten, and i hope if my book doesn't do anything else, it encourages people to look a little more at these people because they provide wonderful examples for how i think politics should be. sometimes, again, were the than the win or -- better than the winners. also i would encourage you if you look at the book to look at the bib lo graphic essay because there's other books i recommend. i so enjoyed spending four years with these guys. they were, became sort of friendly. i'm very december fencive aren't -- defensive about them now. they're

thurgood marshall, tip o'neill, lyndon johnson. these were remarkably interesting, fabulously ugly in the best sense of the word meant. great looking guys, and they were politicians, of course, and they had to -- but there was something statesmanlike about them which we do not have much anymore. tavis: you may be onto something in that our culture now puts a premium on anyone being on television being aesthetically pleasing. whether one likes or dislikes mitt romney, he is not esthetically and pleasing. barack obama, not esthetically and pleasing. there are others that we cannot say that about. i wonder with our politics that that has crept in so we cannot see a tip o'neill. we would not have a lyndon johnson anymore in the age of television. >> i think our culture started to change, and you are too young to know this, but with john f. kennedy, when he was shot, and this nation lost its innocence, and to this day, we'll grow more vulgar, more bitter, more angry a nation, less discerning in all of the art forms. if you notice any of

[applause] >> i teach at thurgood marshall. i have been teaching for about five years. i taught at gloria davis before that. my 10 years in the school district, i have been seeing this stuff every year. in middle school, they put us on the closure list three times. the reconstituted the school, all in the bayview. so much bickering and fighting. it really played havoc on teachers nerves. when you came into the district, superintendent garcia, you promised change. you talk about technology and moving forward. you have moved forward towards some of your promises. what you have done this year is a shame on you. i work with a lot of young teachers and they are excited about working there. there are turning their backs on teachers who have been in the school district for years. it is a shame to see that. i ask myself, is this a world- class school district or city? do i teach my students to be good citizens by pitting their friends against each other? by pitting their employees against each other? it breaks my heart to see that. we know that you have $55 million in reserve f

board of education was an african-american named thurgood marshall and they said, mr. marshall, who is youred a idol? she said, john w. davis. so very ironic that thurgood marshal becomes a supreme court justice and wins that case. so, the. so many interesting men who -- who ever heard of lewis cast. the father of michigan. michigan would not be much of a state without him. he went in and created the university of michigan, michigan's outstanding public school system. a naturalist, brought into the british science -- what's the group -- honored -- so he was -- all interesting characters and a shame they're forgotten and i hope if my book doesn't do anything else it encourages people to look more at these people because they provide wonderful examples. i think how politics should be. sometimes better than the winners. a lot of them are very honorable men, have interesting thoughts s and also i would encourage to look at the bibliography to read more about these people. i so enjoyed spending four years with these guys. i'm very defensive about them now. they're great peo

you can imagine what quality of lawyer it takes to fill the role that thurgood marshall had at the naacp legal defense and education fund. john payton was worthy of the role, worthy to become the sixth leader of the fund. if you looked at john's professional credentials, you would have thought that's enough of a life for a man to have lived for, considering particularly that he is an african-american who went to college in law school when blacks were only beginning to be admitted to the best colleges and law schools in the country. but before his life was over, much too early, john had been listed on this decade's list of most distinguished lawyers in our country. he been president of the district of columbia bar. john's life and work of course is etched in important supreme court cases. we in the district of columbia feel especially the loss of john payton because john payton was what was called cooperation counsel and is now called the attorney general of the district of columbia and he left that -- he took that post when he was asked by the mayor to leave private practice in order to

at this time, i believe that we have thurgood marshall and burton that's offering a seven-period day still. other than that we don't have schools that are able to offer a seven-period day. because that's been an additional teaching period to the day. and schools would need to be able to -- what it does is it increases the number of sections that students take. and, therefore, you have to have additional teachers. and you would need to fund that out of your budget. supervisor campos: so is there right now any plan to incorporate a seventh period in any of these schools? i'm obviously thinking specifically about my district. but i know that that would be the case in other neighborhoods as well. >> i believe that if we were to be able to fund a seven-period day, a large majority of our high schools would take that opportunity because as we have gone in to the fiscal crisis that we have been, we are currently in, many of them are looking for more and more opportunities to be able to offer courses to students. and the way the graduation requirements are now, and the number of periods a sc

i think there's nobody on the court today who would like a justice thurgood marshall, think of the constitutionas an engine to be harnessed for a certain kind of social progress. i mean, that's not -- the liberals on the court, and to use that word very decisively, have been playing defense for a long time. i mean, maybe because they don't speak for a majority, but i think it relates in part to choose the personalities of the individuals, and also to the realities of the confirmation process that i talk about. somebody who has, you know, deeply progressive roots, activists of routes you might say, is not very likely these days to get nominated or confirmed. so on the more liberal side of the court we have very mainstream different approach people. on the conservative side, there's been some social science research that has identified this court as in fact the most conservative kind of center of gravity on the court that we have seen in many decades. and using certain metrics, and you know, we have a couple of these balls in the air, and we will see where they land. it's not that they all agree
