and "time" magazine took on its role in a confusing time of great cultural change as basically domesticating these strange things and how they came out of american vernacular. for example the idea that woodstock -- "time" magazine, "life" magazine loved woodstock. they considered it an excellent development. probably was a lot better than people burning down campuses. but they quoted someone saying the use of lsd is almost like a religious sacrament. so it kind of bundled it with america's religious traditions. and lo and behold, very soon campaigners against sex ed in the late '60s and early '70s were waving around the special issue of "life" magazine as an example of how america's liberal elites have led us astray. so there's a long history there, but i just want to conclude by discussing this crisis i would say of balance. i was recently quoted as many of us are in a news article in the iowa newspaper. michele bachmann had gone on talk radio in iowa and it said something absolutely beyond the pale regarding the democrats and barack obama. i wish i remember precisely what it was. it was pa

time. and the magazines he created were break-throughs in the history of journalism. "time" the first and most successful news magazine, fortune reinvented the business journal, "life" turned photographs into it a powerful tool of journalism. he had no fear of the new and he welcomed it through most of his life. modern art which he loathed but eventually began to collect. modern technology. modern design. he bought an architecture magazine in the 1930s because he saw in a chronicle of modernism and he commissioned stone on build a house for him he was always attracted to the latest business leaders and considered himself one of them. for all his political conservatism issue, he was a man in search of the future. for decades, luce had worked to portray and shape america as a united common culture. despite differences in class or race or region, americans he believed shared a basic set of values that transcended diversity. at one point in the 1950s, he brightly entitled an article in life, nobody is mad at nobody. luce's optimism represented his admiration for eisenhower

that's why i was so thrilled this week when "time" magazine revealed its 100 most influential people in the world. >> "time" magazine just named its 100 most influential people in the world for 2012, adele o bama, both, mitt romney, benjamin netanyahu, warren buffett. >> also part of the time 100, political pundit stephen colbert.

(cheers and applause) whooo! whooo! you know what, folks w this kind of power i better be careful where i point this thing. i might influence someone. like you, moonbeam. put down the doobie and come to jesus. (laughter) and then of course there is this great picture of me inside, hold on let me get to this thing. look at that. all right? look at that. (cheers and applause) although i don't know how they got my driver's license photo. and i was particularly honored that it's accompanied by a profile of mean by doonesbury creator garry trudeau. garry and i met when he was on the show. it was a very brief encounter sow never really got to know the inner me. luckily, there

also, i think, it was a magazine and rick knows a lot about this for a group of people out there who felt the consensus was a liberal consensus for "time" and "newsweek" and other magazines were not speaking for them. in fact, they opposed everything that appeared in the magazines. they wanted to break the consensus. just as much as the left wanted to break the consensus a few years later. so i think that gave national review a lot of its excitement. of course, they got some very good writers at the time to write for them. a lot of former leftists among others. including the guy who wrote many of the best scripts for the marx brothers. who had become a conservative, for example. it was funny and humorous. something in which "dissent" has never been accused of being, unfortunately. what i think about and what we try to do in 30 seconds or so is to provide people on the broad left in america with reflections as to use jackson's word, ways to think about what is going on in the country and world in a way that is not possible in a weekly magazine and in a way that is not possible online. and to do it with, i hope, some style of prose and s

on the first anniversary of the killin of bin laden, rick stgel's "time" magazine has a report showing how risky president obama's decision was. we learn that only five or six people were iluded for nine months. many people you would expect to know did not and were not included and we learned that the president went against advice of defense secretary bob gates, joint chiefs vice chairman jim cartwright and vice president biden, fearing the huge risk of sending in boots from the ground,referring an air strike but the president chose the riskiest option. rick, w he disagree with joe biden, bob gates and general cartwright? >> he took a high risk but high rewards strategy. one of the things that was written, if they used drones or missiles, they would never have known whether they got osama bin laden and they didn't expect the pakistanis to tell them, either. at the core of what president obama wanted to do, he wanted to get credit. chris: so he was willing to take the risk of taking extra time. >> yes, and one of the things graham wrote about in the piece and in the longer version you d

the premise, if "time" magazine had been around in 1862, who would they have selected as their person of the year. so far we've heard from two historians, robert krick and david blight. you heard david choosing frederick douglass as his choice for person of the year 1862 and robert krick who was the chief historian at fredericksburg for 30 years chose thomas stonewall jackson. we're going to open our phone lines here and take your calls. so you can get a chance to talk to david blight momentarily. the numbers are if you are on the eastern seaboard, if you're eastern and central time zones, 202-585-3885. mountain and pacific, 202-585-3886. make sure you mute your television. if you want to tweet us, our hash tag is poty 1862. and we will have one tweet from kashia who agrees with professor light that she says i think douglass should be the person of the year 1862. also at facebook.com/c-span, we are posting the question there, as well. if you want to take a look at facebook and post your comments, you're welcome to do that. a couple here stephen grill says in a sense, lincoln was perso

if you leaf through "time" magazine today you will see a familiar face. dr. freeman hrabowski was called one of the most 100 most influential people by the publication. he changed it from a commuter school into one of the top universities in the country for scientists and engineers. >> what he does here is what reflects in these awards. this is -- this is as much about doc as it is about the campus. the two are inseparable. it's not because doc is here we're receiving this, it's because doc has made such a difference here. >> "time" magazine has the list of the most 100 people and it comes out to newsstands today. >>> news time, a little sports now, buck showalter and the o's wrap up the four game series in chicago this afternoon for a matinee at 2:00. and last night the white sox trounced baltimore 8-1 in the series game three. o's starter tommy hunter surrendered 8 earned runs in five innings of work. the o's bat the only salvaged five hits while the sox bats erupted for 12. this afternoon jason hammel will be going to the mound for baltimore. >>> some stra

magazine that is taken seriously, it is not a frivolous magazine, it's taken seriously by thinking people. and the particular chapter that the times took from the manuscript and ran in the magazine was a funny chapter about sort of being a little bumptious, a little clumsy in the white house, but also how exciting it is to be in the white house and how exciting it is to write there. so it kind of captured, i think, people's imaginations. i almost gathered that people were a little bit surprised that a conservative would come out of a white house and be funny, or make them laugh, you know? and i think that helped it, that the times happened to pick a chapter that was funny as opposed to a chapter that was serious. mirabella magazine, the fashion magazine, picked a very serious chapter. everybody plays against type, i guess. c-span: what are you going to do with all this? you've got a ride in publicity that if you scripted it it couldn't be any more than it is, probably. have you missed anything in this? is there anything you want to do that you haven't done? in the publicity part of this? >> guest: in the book tour? c-span: yeah. >

time magazine thought they would do well on the book.it said something like 10% -- it said a percentage of they didn't want to be specific. a percentage of our profits will go to the red cross. they managed not to spend the millions of dollars that it made on the haitian earthquake yet about two and a half years after the earthquake. but they didn't make enough to meet their goal, so they ended up spending more of their profit for the memorial exemtive book than they meant too. i try to imagine in my book who would be the person reading haiti tragedy and hope. and i imagine, you know, an average american time reader, kind of middle aged sitting on the couch nut suburbs somewhere with a beer, and the tv is maybe on. and he opens up the book. his wife can bought it. you can buy it at the supermarket. he's looking at pictures of dead haitians. oop -- i'm trying to imagine what is he thinking with what are we thinking by analogy. what we're thinking is i'm glad i'm not them. which is a thought i frequently have in haiti. i think a lot of the
