and he came to me and i made a deal with him. i went to him. it took me a year to get him. i called colonel tom parker. that was his manager. >> larry: i interviewed him once. >> did you? >> larry: tough guy. >> tough guy. i called him every day for a year, larry. i had a dream one night. >> larry: who were you then? >> i was nobody. i was a little manager, a little manager, and i was married at the time to jane morgan the singer who i'm still married to. >> even though you live with another woman. >> i live with another woman. married for 48 years. >> larry: you'll never leave her. >> never leave her. we decided to stay married. she is very, very close to my girlfriend. they're great friends. i live with another woman for the past 20 years in beverly hills. they lunch together. they have dinner together. we vacation together. we go to family functions together. they're great, great buddies and they exchange gifts. >> larry: an amazing story. back to presley. >> yes. >> larry: all right. you have to go through the colonel right? >> yes. called him every day. i had this drea

so interesting to me. it was fascinating to see that not only the times had changed but some of the people themselves had changed. >> no longer acceptable. >> no longer unacceptable. >> yeah. >> yes. >> one of the records you found in which you reprinted in the book is an 1850 bill of sale. from the plantation that fellamin and elizabeth and others were working on. and it's quite extraordinary. it lists them by name. their age and just as an example here a slave elizabeth age 48 not guaranteed sold to her. >> age 9 to joseph for 1400 dollars. what went through your mind as you first found this bill of sale and looked at it and read it through. >> that was a document and emotions got extended in the moment. it took 18 months to find that document. i didn't know i was looking for it i knew i was looking for something that would help me identify my great, great u great, grand mother. this document was the first time i pushed back and got a bonus grand mother out of it where suzet had a name. i knew emily and k

to give more cohesiveness. people from all over the country started contacting me telling me these stories about their day to day lives. i had some lawyers contact me saying they had 400 felonies a year and only some of them are class a. what can i do? when those

to me, he's the quintessential example of why these guys are role models. cause here is a guy that did everything right, had the game to back it up. yet something as seemingly innocuous as losing in game six of the conference finals and refusing to shake hands -- you all of a sudden have people bringing his image into question, wondering how that was going to affect him endorsementwise. so we recognize who somebody is, even as great as him, the impact that he could potentially have, and as a result, what expectations are that come along with with it. you can't ignore it. >> coach, what was unique about him, when jordan came in, the expectation of michael jordan coming into the league was not the same as lebron had walking into the league. it was amazing that on both ends, on the social side, and on the athletic side, he is not only met but perhaps surpassed what people were looking at. talk to me about what he obviously had to receive beyond his god-given talents to make that happen. >> well, i think for one thing, lebron is very intelligent. he was intellig

as a prosecutor, that used to always take me off. he loses the case and that gets killed. then when his daughter is involved in the case, he'd obstructs justice by pretending to read the is not the killer. everybody loves that. even though he loses, the trucks and justice. when i was on "practice" we had a character that we spun off on another show who would destroy evidence. people loved him. it seems to me there has to be a free imagining from the public defender's office -- reimagining from the public defender's office about one we do. we all know where crime comes from. that group of people is also where crime victims come from. it is a lot easier to get people behind routing for the victim of crime, then the potential perpetrator -- than the potential perpetrator. where i think we are missing an opportunity is -- this will be controversial. nobody told us you wearing a dark suit, white shirt, tie. you look like a young republican, even if you are not. and i do not know where they told the public defender's office, if you are a man, you should have a ponytail and endear

it means a lot to me. t the different kind of affection, and i also have tons of friends and an unbelievable family. i just have a great family. but that other kind of affection may be behind me. i can't imagine honestly, i can't imagine circumstances where i would fall in love or that anyone would fall in love with me. it is hard sometimes to think that's a part of my past. >> larry: do you love john? >> it's -- that's a hard question to answer, because i know more than one john. you know, is there a john that i love and will always love? there absolutely is. do i think that he's there someplace? i do. i believe that he's there. but, you know, the last few years, i haven't lived with that john and that's been really hard. and the john that, you know, that i was living with was not a john that, you know, it's complicated because it looked like him, talked like him. but it was not john. >> larry: and his father sure loved him. >> because he stood for so many things that mattered. still does. one of the thing

that's taking liberty to saying taught me what it means to be japanese. i can't know exactly what it means to be japanese but it gave me a culture. a culture i realize that was a lot japanese. even though i hadn't grownup in it and i was as american as apple pie in so many ways that i started to learn more about the culture and i thought, i'm more japanese than chinese in many ways. this book gave that to me. that was the greatest gift of the samurai's garden. that and the fact that somehow people kept reading it. it was the book i was worried about and i had sent it to my editor and she called. i'm telling you the gossip stuff now. i think in a way that's more interesting. i was very nervous because i didn't know how she would receive this book. she called and said to me, well, it's very different. [laughter] and then nobody said anything. i didn't say anything and she didn't i didn't know what to say different good or bad so just with quiet. she said, i think this about part of -- she talked to me about story lines. i realized wow, they are going to pub

what do the people want to do to me for my actions do they want me to kill myself do they want me to rot in prison for sixty years what will make them feel that i'm remorseful for my actions. maybe if he keeps winning things maybe if he can be a good model prisoner or maybe somebody to take an interest in him and live you safe. it. seems almost like the roman days roman gladney it was the people who went to see the lions eat up to this life. and so did you know my spin on the road i've never liked over there would like to really feel the cause of death because it's almost like people come to see you in your midst. it's important. to put their life. and time johnson and their insight come here every year are filled with love and great they don't have prison rodeos at any other prison in louisiana but angola why because angola is the only place where people are serving life sentences with no hope of parole no chance of ever getting out these guys who participate in the rodeo have pretty much exhausted every remedy possible they know they're not going anywhere so what do they have to lo

you're not going to see me in the charlton heston story." uh-huh. was that a good experience, and did you get to know anita? i did; i did get to know anita a little bit. she passed away shortly after i met her. she was very wonderful. i got to do--i'm not really an actor who tends to do roles that require a lot of research, back story, interviews, things of that nature. this was a movie that did. i was very pleased to do a lot of reading, research, interviews, meeting of people at the time, you know, who were significant in her life, meeting anita a number of times, talking to her, meeting abbie hoffman's children, friends of abbie hoffman, former yippies, and meeting tom hayden and this, that, and the other, reading many memoirs and books. so i was very pleased to do it and very pleased to do that film. it was not a big box office success. you know, in fact, most people, when i was making the abbie hoffman movie, they were like, "who is she?" honestly, it was very-- it's disheartening, but that's the way it is, you know? like i said, if most of your

you can talk to me. you the right man, then i. nt to get a sense of where you want all of your efforts to culminate what do you want it to be at the end of the day? >> i think that, you know, that question can't be answered in, like, it can be answered in two parts. one of the parts is, economically. this country needs job creation. we have to find a way to bring back job creation to port-au-prince. you take a situation, over 700,000 people in one area. now, job creation is a problem. the recent job creation is a problem because you've never had a stable government. why would a business group come in and say, man, okay. we'll spend $100 million in port-au-prince. we believe this place is the future. so the thing about it is, unless you come up with job creation, then you are always going to have the same problem in haiti, which falls on the second aspect. and the second aspect of job creation is charity and business development. and when we say charity, we don't mean like, bringing us food this week. we saying, charity in the sengs

to their constituents. [laughing] and, -- [applause] but let me say something serious. he knew people who were elected to represent states and regions and political fa losses were flesh and blood people means they never would be perfect. >> he knew they were subject to passion and anger and when you make a decision, it's important when you are mad, there's about an 80% chance you might mistake. and that's why he thought the rules and the institutions and the constitution were so important and he put them before everything. even what he wanted. .i never forget when we were trying to pass healthcare reform in 1993 and '94, senator byrd was a passionate supporter of the efforts we were making just as he was the efforts that president obama has made. but we only had 55 votes and we could not defeat a filabuster. and so, i said well senator, why don't you just let me stick this on the budget because it's the only thing you can't filabuster. that violated something called the byrd rule. thought go ahead and name the rule for him. i said you really ought ought to suspend it bec

that's what happened to me once when i went to ireland i staid at a b and b. there are a zillion every other house is a b and b. i hit on the one b and beshgs where the owner said, your last name is to bein i know where all the to beins came to ireland. i said, i'm all ears. this poem goes into that and the last part is a translation from an irish song, the ring. >> i followed the winding coast road back from cove airny moore and her brother cast in branz at the center entrance head of a line at elis island looking as though they a choired dreksz in their own country. dim passage through american wait and coffinship the figures of a prior generation real to swells and sound effects each swollen in the ache of crossing. my father's ship united states streaming to the harbor, the way it steamed in the narrows below the rising towers of the bridge. above the keys, saint coalmans resided over the dock where my mother's mother waited and my father's forefather disappeared like vermon in the fields they flooded home. i can tell you where the to beins first landed th

so again, i want to thank you once again for allowing me to serve. it is an honor. i used to hear that and not know what it meant, but i do. to serve is an honor. it is an honor. i want you to continue doing what you do, but remember, you have to think about all of us and continue to serve the interest of the people around you, but we cannot do other people's agenda all the time. you have to do your agenda, and turn around and make your agenda. i am about sick of it, and i am also going to say, we have a lot of work to do and you have to continue educating each other and be short with ignorance, because it's dangeruos. you have to get short with it, but continuing educating people. we have a long way to go, and san francisco is not a healthy place for african-americans. we are sicker than anybody, poorer than anybody, more ignorant than anybody. something has to give. they have always been doing what they do to us, but it is something we are not doing, and we have to get back to that, because san francisco is a beautiful place. we should be enjoying it, not feeling

like me and sounded to me like i had any talent. that was the first thing that made me say, "hey, you know, you are a writer." but here's the interesting thing about the zoo story: you'd think that a young american playwright would have the first production of his first play where he lived-- in america, right? but the zoo story had its first production in german in west berlin, because there really was no off-broadway at that time, and nobody was interested in-- on broadway, certainly-- in a grumpy, hour-long play by somebody never heard of. and so it was done in berlin in german on a double bill with beckett's krapp's last tape. and i think that fact, which got picked up by the new york times, you know-- "young american playwright has to go to germany to have his first work done, and not even in english"-- i think that instantly made the play producible in new york city, because six months later, it was done off-broadway in english on the same double bill and ran for four years. so i quit my job delivering telegrams for western unio

to give more cohesiveness. people from all over the country started contacting me telling me these stories about their day to day lives. i had some lawyers contact me saying they had 400 felonies a year and only some of them are class a. what can i do? when those stories are repeated over and over again, it gained new momentum. the people trust me because they know i am one of them, not one of the others. with their permission, i have given

and it's dog over him to see australia and it startled me and. he was firing and i didn't how my weapon was but on the die i brought my way up here off. so i managed to get. hagrid age off my belt. cost a couple grenades. dealt with it but a guy. then we could see as far as we could see there would be a call that was coming up to our parameter. and we called in for in direct fire and couldn't get it we called in for permission to return we couldn't get in because my comment was getting over wrong. so welcome on the tollers we just try to find a place and spend the night there. we told the marshy and he was on the one that was kill and one at a bomb crater and we sat there on night. eventually the mechanizing only came in and we loaded the marshy on. his brains actually fell out as well we were we were moving in. i was still a still good pitcher you know and i remember it said in that corridor on i was. a grown man let it is a it sounded hollow. but it was easier to go back and kill more that's part of what what drove me. it was very day and. sleep

to me, that would seem to be a very simple thing to do. but i don't think this board will require it, so -- >> i have a contractors list he has provided to me, and i would be happy to provide that after the hearing tonight. commissioner garcia: i think something a little more complete and when you put up on the overhead or the computer. commissioner hwang: i think we should hear from mr. kornfield. commissioner garcia: sure. >> laurence kornfield. we don't usually get a chance to give a second rebuttal. i don't want to miss that opportunity. [laughter] i have a little too bad. i'm just here to answer questions. i have to say that the list from march 26, the attachment, exhibit b, we have a hard time dealing with it. it says "your siding is running on to our property, you're water is running on to --" if we were to deal with this list, we would have to say give us a survey to deal. with it commissioner hwang: is there anything on the list you could deal with? >> there are some things, and some of them might even overlap the notice of violat

right so tell me come on tell me the difference explain to me what was missing in the context context context this is the mindset of so you know this is for me to be a small of so much to my. journalistic inquiry my journalistic inquiry where you the question being funded by oil companies of course the a b a small us. yes michael mann said there's been an increase in temperature in the last hundred years did that in the nature article phil jones says i've used makes trick to hide the decline so there's actually been declining temperatures recently and they've used a trick to hide it so. let's pretend it's hard all over the world to know that this was it was really entertaining enough for serious crimes and you actually want to quote the climate game if you actually want to understand what it was a time when you name just one of us is saying. we can't explain it and that's a discreet is. i mean i should probably just quote from it so you know you said we're not getting all the conversation because there are there are a wonderful source there wonderful source of information about the tr

to me says. yeah it's great it's a great image people come in they see seventeen hundred prisoners at the rodeo so i want to have a crafter. taking photos or working concession booths and there's no problems i mean there's just no problems. this clever marketing and who comes out looking like the good guy who of course the ward because he's more kidding himself to the legislature to the people in power saying hey because i didn't raise money for the prison i don't have to come and ask you for money you know i make i get the prisoners to help me generate funds the budget going to right almost two million dollars gross necessarily we have a lot of expense that we have to pay for the road pay for the facility we have to pay for everything we have there so the net is not that much that will net enough to build a chapel and what would we need to build another chapel would be a church it with the profits from the rodeo non-denominational charities. and you can't miss them chapels built with rodeo money

to give more cohesiveness. people from all over the country started contacting me telling me these stories about their day to day lives. i had some lawyers contact me saying they had 400 felonies a year and only some of them are class a. what can i do? when those stories are repeated over and over again, it gained new momentum. the people trust me because they know i am one of them, not one of the others. with their permission, i have given information to professors who are doing scholarly studies, people who are more invested in change. it is a way of connecting with people and getting stories out. >> i am not sure the most effective way to communicate the message, but part of the message that jonathan is talking about, most of the victims and people accused of crime coming from the same place -- part of the message that needs to get up there, talking about justice and all that, it is meaningful to folks like us, but it does not play all that well with people who are afraid of crime, people who are out of work. part of the message has to become it seems to me, going back to the sources of crime, not from an eco

that, to me, is not the right way to debate the issue. i have always favored the second engine, because i think competitively it will produce significant savings, but it's a much larger engine and much larger issue than that, although that will become a focal point for this issue. i hope it isn't, but i'm afraid it will be. so it will probably unfold this year more in what secretary gates puts in motion for next year rather than having a specific impact on this year's defense authorization bill. it will have an impact perhaps on appropriations. i don't know what the appropriations committee is going to do, frankly. but the authorization bill that came out of committee will be the base bill that will be fought over not so much by the way in terms of dollars, but in terms of issues like don't ask-don't tell, in terms of issues like whether or not we ought to be able to move detainees out of guantanamo. republicans joined by a few democrats were able to get a provision in saying you can't transfer detainees from guantanamo to five named coun

so when you say to me that, you know, i'm channeling mcbeth these things, you got to tell me more abouts. >> actors have a thing called sense memory, and that means that no experience is ever wasted on us. but it can make us sometimes uncomfortable people to be with, because there is always an monitoring an experience. experience. monitoring what's happening, watching, observing and storing experience. you're saying to yourself, oh, that's what it feels like when all of a sudden i think i'm going to be mugged in the street and i feel threatened. that's what it feels like. store this away, remember it, it's important. we do that all the time. it builds up this bank balance authentic. it belongs to us. now, all right, i don't know what it's like to cut a child's throat. happens in "macbeth." but i have to imaginetively put myself into that place, so maybe i can find some parallel, i don't know. you have imaginetively process an experience until you can find a connection. and that's why the work that the actors do in private, alone in a room, when you put yourself into those situations, im

to hear mexican. everywhere i went there was this multi dimensional color and i felt like it was on necessary for me too just one. like baskin-robbins, i want all the flavors. you cannot just be a mexican play music. there is a lot of beauty in that, but it was not for me. i was born without arms around my heart that wants to embrace everything. palestine's, israelis. japanese, apaches. i am more concentrated with life and love than flags, nationality, religion. that stuff gets in the way. one gets in the way is me, myself, my story. for me, that is why music is liberating. when you hear "imagine" anywhere in the world, people sang the lyrics. as soon as you hear the melody -- same thing with a bob marley song. i grew up taking everything from bob dylan, curtis mayfield, the beatles, smokey robinson. mike alma mater was the streets of san francisco. i would dare to go to school. where i really hung out was at the fillmore. that was my university, checking out be the king, and james brown, a cream. finding out how they were able to penetrate people's hearts. with their music. once you do that, something

so a part of that was to help me with my self-esteem. to be among people. reach out to others. have them embrace me, try to find out about me, who i was and that i'm ok if they compliment me on what they consider is beauty and today, fast forward, i believe that it is not about your physical aspect. it is about your confidence. tavis: that's big fast forward. a huge quantum leap. tell me about how you got through the period of thinking that your beauty was being used against you. how did you get past that? when we get to know you as a movie star and all of your glamour and some movies certain nude scenes, you obviously got past that at some point. how did you get past that? >> i feel that when you're playing another character. >> mm-hmm. >> i'm not pam. tavis: hmm mm. >> i'm split. i'm playing another person. another psyche. another body, my mind, everything. i was able to separate myself from that in that. i found solace in a way. i was not hiding but i wasn't playing me. but as roger corman, who gave me my first job, i said roger, i can't lose my job. i don't know how to be an

i told her i was going to present an award to the good doctor, and she asked me -- "i guess it is tooate for you to good medical school?" [laughter] without further ado, doctor, thank you so much for everything you have done for us. [applause] [applause] >> thank you. i am almost speechless for this honor, an honor which actually i never sought, and i am humbled receiving. it has been my great privilege to be able to work in this city, and in the spirit of the theme of tonight, which is headed and unity, i need to emphasize the issue of heritage. first of all, like at the academy, and i'm waiting 40 lights to go off shortly, i do want to thank my parents, both of whom not only had the good foresight to have me born in san francisco in a chinese hospital, but also within the city here had shown me that there was more than just work, as they have themselves tirelessly worked within the community and the county here. i also want to thank, of course, my own family who gave me the opportunity, the time to be able to work within my own community and on different levels as the opportunity ar

we will talk to 10 of the current members. mr. ginsberg told me if we could make contributions, that would make him very happy. you don't come to the community and particularly an association that we never heard. you come to us first and say you're thinking about doing this. we will set up a philanthropic fund to pay both the security deposit of our current money and arranges to give you the least amount of money that you want to do your program. we want to continue the program that has been so successful since we have lived here. >> of reach has been very poor. the community kids, and i, were not aware to lease out this clouclubhouse. many of the people who lived in the area are not native english speakers. we request to disapprove the lease in consideration. that appears that this plan was a fait accompli. the genuine effort to work with the community sends the message that we don't count. apparently there was a web survey that determined almost all the responses. i think in the infinite wisdom of this commission, you do not allow this to happen

a warning to me to some extent what concerns me in is that there is a fractional reserve system occurring in the album a market where by for everyone else that you believe that you have as a claim on physical assets i don't know what the number is and there were definite investigating that but it would seem that multiples of have been lent out and so that if you were to take. trying to arrive at a wholesale claim of your physical asses it wouldn't be possible to take delivery so to come back to you or your question i do think that there is some manipulation the market i do think there is some intervention potentially by government. organizations i think that is evident and every market i mean after all the homeowners resort to very openly intervened in the equity markets back in ninety eight but i think the difference here is that it's not transparent and that flags warnings to individuals ok so you've got a few facts on the ground here j.p. morgan in new york pointedly short selling i thirty thousand silver contracts an enormous position in the commodities market they have and they bend

to appreciate and see t. my father had already passed. so, that's what got me from book one to 2. it changed me tremendously. it changed me, it opened you know not to get too much psyc psychotherapy. it opened me up in many ways and made me farless not racial, black and white so i lived in gray. because i had to put myself in everybody's shoes for so long i was not able to just compartamentize. >> in doing the research for your father's side did you come across any descendants of the people who killed emily's husband? >> i -- yes. well, that is a matter of who did it. i put forth in "cane river" my point of view, which is not proven, i believe it's true but not proven. and yes, there are still descendants of those folks that live in the town. >> and you met them? >> they don't come out to my reading. >> have you had conversations? >> i have not had conversations but i have heard of some distant relatives of their's who considered the whole thing colorful history at this point. >> yeah. >> yes. >> i'm curious a couple of years ago after he died the senator strong ferman had a parall

do you remember when mom tried to teach me how to ride a bike? no, he said, let me hear it. why i can't ride a bike. i out weigh my mother by 50 pounds though her effort to help find my balance is more colossal than any man. my father root indeed pockets watches us at a distance like we are on a channel he'd like to turn. that's a sad poem, he said. cant you write nothing happy? not with you in it, i said. but i ain't never hit you, thumped our head once or twice. mostly, i'm stuck remembering what we never did, share something. play catch, even. was not athlete. tried teaching you how to drive. sitting next to me on the freeway holding the steering wheel sdont count. well ain't had no one to teach me none of those things neither. did you ever hold me when i was a baby, i asked? gnaw, afraid i'd drop you sides you were someone else's child didn't think we would keep you long. thought she was take you back to your people. if you wrote a poem about right now, he said, about us here in this room, how would it go? >> last rights. while sitting with my father waiting for his end w

to support a continuance. commissioner fung: well, let me continue with the motion anyway. i am going to move this continues to august 18. president peterson: call the roll on that, please. >> the motion is to continue to august. that will allow the retrieval of additional documents. commissioner fung: the planning and building department. specifically, the permit history. and no additional briefings. >> on that motion to continue with those, vice president goh? vice president goh: aye. commissioner garcia: no. president peterson: aye. commissioner hwang: . >> there is no further business before the board this evening. before the board this evening. so are you going out tonight? i can't. my parents say i have to be home right after work. ugh. that's so gay. totally gay. ugh. that is so emma and julia. why are you saying, "that's so emma and julia"? well, you know, when something is dumb or stupid, you say, "that's so emma and julia." who says that? everyone. announcer: imagine if who you are were used as an insult. >> cents and cisco's buses and trains serve many writers --

this is now gone to a whole new level. and which made me even more so want to just be me. l have the same energy i had since the beginning, over 20 years now. we've known each other since high school. i still work with a lot of my friends who i've known since high school. so i have real people around me. who can pat me on my back when i'm doing good and smack my hand when i'm doing something naughty, and it just keeps me more grounded. queen latifah has become a phenomenon in a sense, but underneath the queen is just la. i think that's what people really get from me, and they feel like -- when people approach me on the street, they just feel like they can hug me, you know? like they feel like they know me. and they say that to me. it's because i'm still me. underneath all that huge queen latifah business it's just la. >> larry: do you ever miss not being known on the street, not being famous? >> i remember losing my anonymity, especially growing up in new york, but new jersey. but i hung out in new york a lot. you could go to new york and just be anyone you wanted to be. yo

i will try to answer a, b, c. for me, i know that the first thing i began to think about when i thought i wanted to write a novel was that i wanted to write about my culture. and because i had grownup in the chinese culture i wanted to write about china. i wanted to find out more about myself because of i was raised in the bay area and because i didn't know culturally a lot of things i wanted to know. i knew i wasn't going to write about myself and knew that i was not going to write about my family. but i wanted to write about an aspect about china and women. those were the 2 things i knew when i began the first book. i was fortunate enough to it stumble upon the silk working women which gave me everything i wanted. it gave me the culture. it gave me a sense of what it meant to be a female chinese women in that time and a sense of empowerment on what they had done. regardless of what they understood they were doing at the time. they didn't know it was a culture that was earning money and living independent of husbands an

and that's important to me. i want people to see me as a moral person who tries to make the right decision when the time comes. so that was important to me. but aside from that, honestly, i think it's, you know, the rest of how people feel about me is probably how i live the rest of my life. not necessarily, you know what was said or not said. >> larry: you're legally separated, right? >> we have a separation agreement. >> larry: are you going to get divorced or does that matter? >> it matters and doesn't, you know. i mean, i think it's one of those things, you need to have all your arrangements in the right way, particularly with children. but, you know, when the time comes -- i don't imagine any of us have on our calendar -- either of us have on our calendar this is the day in which we can -- because that part -- we've got an amicable way of dealing with the kids and dealing with one another that is, you know, is really -- been quite satisfactory. and -- >> larry: you're the pained one so it has to be satisfact
