he was a superstar would started in comedy clubs and theater troupes here in san francisco. he maintained close ties to all the comics and performers he knew. >> you felt like you few him for a long-term even if you knew him for a second. if you knew him for a great part of your life... >>> the career panned 40 years on stage, screen and television. >> robin williams was a bicyclist and took part in events surrounding the san francisco grand prix. in 2002 there was a celebrity race and robin williams and i competed in that. we saw his humorous and competitive side. >> i know your weaknesses. >> don't be trash talkin' now, girl! >> no trash talkin'. he was advocate for the san francisco grand prix held several times and attracted top competitors like lance armstrong with woman he often road. it ended in 2005 because of the management problems. >> i got the impression that three was scary smart. >> but so encouraging, can i tell you that? i was scared in the race because i knew he road with lance armstrong and great competitors and i thought, i am outclassed and he said, girl,

and that first night jitters got the best of the old pro and he got the name of the comedy troupe wrong. he wasn't off by much. he recovered and then some. >> it's "saturday night live." >> don pardo's voice started the show for close to 40 seasons. many veteran performers still say their career wasn't validated until don pardo said their name. >> maya rudolph. >> the moment he said my name was the highlight of my career. >> brian williams. >> don made everyone feel special. he made nbc viewers feel like they were home. and here at his home for 70 years, he worked right up until his declining health prevented it. thankfully we'll have that voice in our heads forever. >> wnbc-tv in new york, i'm don pardo. >> you have heard the expression perhaps -- the voice of a generation. don pardo's voice was known to four american generations. that is our oh broadcast on a tuesday night. thank you for being here with us. i'm brian williams reporting from studio 8h at rockefeller plaza in new york. we, of course, hope to see you right back here tomorrow evening. right back here tomorrow evening. goo

we will be heading to brazil in a bid to meet the bahi'an dance troup in salvador. they have been celebrating the culture for 25 years and wowing audiences around the world. also on the way, some of the tens of thousands of angolans living in the democratic republic of congo are slowly beginning to return home. for some, it is a return after decades away, forced out by the war. east, in the middle rocket fire has shattered a six-day cease-fire. palestinian militants shot into israel eight hours before the truce was due to end on tuesday. israeli military targeted the hamas, killing his wife and child. >> sirens sounded, signaling an end to the com -- calm brought by the temporary cease-fire. in gaza, residents felt the full force of israel's power -- firepower. and child were killed and over 40 others were caught in the crossfire. >> i was sitting with my children. some of them were asleep. suddenly, there were missiles everywhere. it was like an earthquake. my neighbor's house was targeted. it was full of women and children, full of people, and it is completely des

i used to have to perform at those all the time back when jenna and i were in that improv troupe. the audience suggestion is sling blade and oprah on a date. [scattered applause] [deep, gravelly voice] i sure do like them french fried pataters. [as herself] no, you don't, oprah. jenna is not a great improviser. to be honest, lemon, uh, i'm a little apprehensive about going to this thing. i haven't seen a lot of these people

it's not just this one, every coming blocks bigger and bigger, each one with its own troupe of spinners is tempting, but -- >> host of cnn implicated in death of four underage carnies. next thing i would know it's rolling down the street and sending kids flying. if i had any idea, i never would have taken the ride, so says bourdain. >> good luck, maybe you return safely with all of your limbs intact. ♪ we never thought we'd be farming wind out here. it's not just building jobs here, it's helping our community. siemens location here has just received a major order of wind turbines. it puts a huge smile on my face. cause i'm like, 'this is what we do.' the fact that iowa is leading the way in wind energy, i'm so proud, like, it's just amazing. >>> next day in the full moon festival. whether you're looking out the window at a rural village or at the streets of yangon, what's happening is probably pretty similar, a tableau of car speakers, but also a pratt of charitable good works in the hopes of jacking up your karma. money trees are paraded around pinwood cash donations for months. free b

e company, the gray horse troupe. back up on the hill. cheyenne wooden leg. it looked like a thousand dogs in a fight. low dog. the soldiers kept fight bug then they threw their big guns on the ground, and they took out their little guns and they tried to kill us, but they shot wildly in the sky as their horses bucked and shied and pulled them all around. a desperate order. shoot your horse. boom! a bullet in your horse's head. 39 dead horses found around the monument. you're not going home now. you just shot your transportation and you are hiding behind horse flesh. there's nowhere to run to. and, by god, there's nowhere to hide. warriors get closer and closer. they ask gall ten years after the battle, how long did the fight last? he said about as long as it takes for a hungry man to eat his dinner. and then the shots. boom! quit coming. boys and old men watching in the draws and the ravines. mounted their horses, stormed up the hill, rode ride into the crowd of survivors and pounded them to death. then they raced down to meet reno and benteen who had made a

> i played hamlet young and we went to the castle where we more or less are certain shakespeare's troupe went. i remember when the date was confirmed, i thought i could have died and gone to heaven. >> when you shoot it, you shoot it out of order and do the last part of the s the so lillo quesh before the other. >> he would put the most important thought of hamlet's is the question. >> towards the middle of the soliloquy, i did that. i was wearing my horn-rimmed spectacles and they had lenses which turned black when the light shown, and i would be wearing them and forgotten, and i played to be or not to be in horn-rimmed glasses. >> charlie: and he was chuckling? >> chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. >> charlie: you regret most -- not having played hamlet. >> charlie: all of a sudden, you were too drunk? >> because in my lifetime, i think that acting was an avocation. living life was a vocation to me. so i never had the time. i said, i'll do it next year. >> charlie: he did tell you to do hamlet. >> marlon brando practically begged me to drop out of hollywood, walk away, for a year, take off, go

drumming is doesn't quite convey the pyrotechnics of the kodo troupe.he tightly choreographed performances on the drums are a joyous display of pure athleticism, as musical entertainment. the instruments are as old as japan itself. the largest tyco drum made from a tree trunk weighs almost 900 pounds. he became a kodo artist when he was just 18. now 33, he directs the ensemble. he says, when we're on stage, we clear our mind. speaks gets in the way when drumming. while making music we allow ourselves to be swallowed up and immersed. the remote seting is tailor made for molding kodo drummers. this is what makes kodo unique. here at the isolated village, a drummer must spend years, living and training together. it's a grueling apprenticeship unmagable for most musicians. training is 24/7. when you're not in practice, chores. the lifestyle is meant to hone a sense of teamwork and discipline that translates into seamless intuitive performances on stage. tyco drums have been pounding out the backbeat of every day japan for 2,000 years. originally used in rel

again, this troupe of manipulation.movie doesn't address any of the real problems of slavery or racial reconstruction or the development of share cropping. right? instead we see african-americans as infant lized. and loyal to southern whites unless they had been corrupted by northern whites. right? certainly it's different than the images of african-americans as near animals as we saw in d.w. griffith's "birth of a nation." it's not necessarily better. right? other stereotyped white characters? yeah? >> anthony. >> hysterical, white southern -- >> completely useless, right? yeah. okay. others? yeah, hannah. >> there's ashley. the true gentleman. live for honor. >> okay. don't disgrace your family kind of person. >> yeah. in some ways ashley is almost one dimensional, right? there's not a whole lot to him. what about bell watting, all right? [ inaudible ] that's right. this is a troupe we see in others. julia roberts made her career on that stereo type. "pretty womb," that notion of the prostitute with the heart of gold

missed opportunities because despite the fact that the americans were going against a very veteran troupe, well led by general ross with admiral cockburn at his side, there were opportunities for the americans to turn this attack back before bladensburg, certainly. we missed opportunities were even a modest attack on the british advance could have turned the british back. ross was rightfully quite nervous of this advancing of this pretty small british force with very little artillery away from his shifts -- ships. he was under strict instructions from london not to risk his force. certainly, there was risk involved in coming to washington. the 24th, when very belatedly, the american britishrs realized the attack would be coming through bladensburg, even though, as ralph mentioned, ultimately, it was pretty clear the british would have to come to bladensburg to get to washington. the more southern approaches certainly, they would not have been able to cross the river down there. the bridges had been blown. they would not be able to get across the river. it was wider there than here at blad

could trouping have rested at people by prolonging the japanese domination of asia? hope for less condemnation of truman's decision, at least until the critics can specify a more obviously moral and yet still feasible course of action to end the war perhaps there may be empty think for the man who felt required to make the decision and carried the burden of it. harry truman of independence, missouri, was hardly some moral monster who now needs to be placed retrospecttively on trial for war crimes. those who criticize his decisions would do well, i think, to place themselves in his shoes and ask what they might have done in his circumstance. honest observers who refrained from il-founded criticisms will acknowledge that the atomic bombs were used primarily for a military purpose, so as to force japan's surrender, and that they proved effective in inflicting defeat on the japanese. truman and his associates did not seek alternatives to using the atomic bombs, but viable options that might have proved successful cannot be identified with any certainty, as i have said. s

military action against the troupe in iraq or apparently wherever the terror group may be.eral new air strikes today on isis targets in iraq and from back home, a warning. >> we will do what's necessary to protect americans and see that justice is done for what we saw with the barbaric killing of jim foley. so we're actively considering what's going to be necessary to deal with that threat, and we're not going to be restricted by borders. we've shown time and again that if there's a counterterrorism threat, we'll take direct action against that threat if necessary. >> well, joining us now with more on what that may entail as well as the steps already taken against targets in iraq, pentagon correspondent, barbara starr. so we've heard today, not restricted by borders. that sounds like a pretty clear signal that strikes on syria, inside syria, could be in the near future? >> well, i think it's very clear that they're heading step-by-step closer every day. so you begin to ask yourself the question, what would it take for the u.s. military to conduct air strikes inside syria? t

you saw this first one dance with the troupe last season.a, who is it? >> it is the very sexy and handsome artem chigvintsev. >> whoo! [ cheers and applause ] >> yes. >> all right, and another newcomer to the show by the time he was 7 he knew he was destined to be a dancer, he is the undefeated latin-american champion in every category for the last eight years. who are we talking about? >> very excited about this new edition to the family, keoikantse motsepe. [ cheers and applause ] >> i like how you say that, karina. this dancer is new to the pro dancer but she's been a guest dancer on "dancing with the stars" before and danced in "high school musical" and the movie "footloose." val, who are we talking about? >> uh-oh. it is the one and only allison holker. [ cheers and applause ] >> and now we have a little surprise for all of you, this emmy award dancer -- winning dancer is coming back to the show for his 14th season, five mirrorball trophies under his belt, and he might have just been on our show talking about his new book. who are we ta
