it was all in english, and you know, they read "tom jones" and "wuthering heights," all of this in english. that is another thing i wanted to tell about in this book. in one sense we were victims. in another sense i wanted people to understand how people in the face of such oppression create spaces, themselves create spaces that nobody can take from them, and they were so eager. i never had such intense classes. >> so how did you decide to take the seven students to your home? >> ok. by mid 1990's, again we went through a process of libera liberallization, and the head of our faculty, who was very open, and he had allowed me to do a lot of programs there, he was, you know, taken off his job, and they started again talking from the veil to why are you teaching this, why are these people coming to your classes, so i thought that rather than concentrating on my nabokov and my austen, i'm concentrating on how far my veil is right now, am i too open with my students. a teacher cannot teach that way. and my dream was to teach in an environment where we were just in love with literature, you know

a good friend of mine, tom a tremendous jones, was a writer. tommies to say when he goes out and speak used to say readers are leaders and ronald reagan was probably the last great reader that we really had because he really read about history and understood it. and how people read his writings and all these other things in like us he he was pretty diverse and pretty smart guy. >> host: in his own hand is a pretty good look too. >> guest: we talk about the diversity of the family and you have to mention your brother has a book coming out right now too and one of the things the media picked up and we all know there is a conflict bias in the media, was him saying perhaps your father had early onset alzheimer's, and you tweeted i believe a response that made waves itself because it was very confrontational. said my brother was an embarrassment to his father when he was alive and today he became an embarrassment to his mother. those are harsh words from a very genial guide. what is going on there? >> guest: i tell you i get very upset when i see my

." >> tom: giant stocks have been leading this rally, like the kind that make up the dow jones industrialaverage. but tonight's street critique guest is looking for some moves from more speculative names. she's hilary kramer, editor of gamechangerstocks.com. hillary, nice to see you. >> pleasure. >> tom: with the dow breaking out to post recession highs with the big caps, why go small? >> with the small caps we're going to find some real innovation, companies that have innovations that will be saving people's lives or saving companies billions of dollars. a lot of the big caps have already had their run. cater pillar can only sell so many more bull dozers. but i look to the small caps for doubles. i look to the big caps to try to find companies to keep in my portfolio for a decade and make 10 to 15% a year. >> tom: young of the small cap is is ymi, focuss on cancer treatment. a speculative name here, $200 million market cap, below $3 per share and a volatile stock at that. >> the experts within the field have told me that it is the most promising da that they have seen ever, and so especi
