so he would have seen it i as no different than mark twain, but for a lot of people when they thought of science-fiction they didn't think mark twain or chesterton they just thought something you'd find in a bad park drugstore. so a lot of conservatives and libertarians specifically went into science fiction because they never would have made it at the time the mainstream media so they had to go with the second and third rate publishers. that's how they got their reputation and by the six years than science-fiction is taken off and to this day and can't imagine going into a barnes and noble without a huge section of science-fiction. but that is purely one of his childhood for example. >> was russell kirk accessible to the media and the students? >> you would think he would indeed that he didn't drive a car. he had no problem with the train or flying so that was fine but he made students brea driving te airport which was funny or when he got here to hillsdale david to drive up and bring him back. from here it would be about two and a half hours. it would be quite a burden plus that stu

you have a mark twain who went by -- you have single clemency went by mark twain. clemens who went by mark twain. but women used it because they were not taken seriously. while nellie bly and dorothy dix namesvery feminine pen because they're reporting was , but if a woman wanted to write something that was not gendered, they would often use initials so that you could not see if they were a woman. >> [indiscernible] >> when you look at the ratios of women to men in the newsroom, white is that and -- why is that and do i see that changing? it is a good question and the reason it is so interesting is because classrooms in journalism and mass communication are about two thirds women. newsrooms, thet ratio is flipped. full-time journalists working in news organizations, women hover around 36% and the higher you go in the ranks, the lower that percentage against. -- the lower that percentage gets. women are a low percentage of publishers, why is that? my scholarship has shown it is an issue of culture and this relates to my earlier response about individual people findi

the word comes up in that book because mark twain uses it 200 something times in... was writing in a different period. if white people use it today, they get hammered. why would they want to use it? it is a word. but it is redolent of slavery, disrespect, total discrimination and prejudice. absolutely, thank you for that. of course. what are you asking me? just this point, for example, i read in the new york times, the praise for the book was consistent and the critics loved it. i read about a reading you did in new york city where the writer who was present said it was interesting because the audience was predominantly white and the author said it seemed to them that some of the audience didn't know whether to laugh or not. they were a little unsure of this territory. i don't think that necessarily has to do with race, it is what room you are in. i have read for black audiences, some laugh and some don't. it is notjust about race. i have won the man booker prize, a huge honour. the first american to win it. i'm trying to pay my something. i did a thing at the man gr

it turns out it was a bedtime story twain made up for his two daughters 104 years ago.d this story he wrote down in his notes, unclear whether or not he had planned on publishing the story. it's about a hapless prince that eats a magical seed and can suddenly talk with animals. his estate decided it needed to be shared and sold it to doubleday and authors philip and erin stead finished the tale and illustrated it saying, no pressure there, trying to finish mark twain's work. they did it. "the purloining of prince oleomargarine" will be out in september. say that four times fast. i dare you. it is exciting. >> thank you, lara. >> great start to the week. >> thank you, robin. >> thank you. >> it is. a lot more coming up. we'll hear from the designer behind melania trump's white ball gown. >>> and so many couples are caught in snore wars even though they say they don't snore, but 90 million americans, they do do it and dr. besser is here with great advice to finally get a good night's sleep. >> do you snore? >> i don't snore. >>> "gma's morning menu" is brought to you by t

as mark twain said. whatever it is that newspapers is, it isobjective actually to make money. that is the real motivation. mind as weat in switch gears. ok? because the other thing you need to know about this time to understand this rise of a new type of female journalist is that you need to know about gender norms in the 19th century. what did people think about gender and what it meant to be a man or a woman? there are two primary ideas here. that are important. separatee notion of fears for men and women. the ideology of this was that public andwas important and for men. otherat women had attributes and qualities. they were natural caretakers and they should be kept separate. men were assumed to be naturally more intelligent. more active. more in charge. right? women were soon to be better at raising children and running the household. obviously at this time, women couldn't vote. education opportunities were limited. they lacked property rights in many states. they were treated like property themselves. ideology came from religion. right? it was believed that god intended m

mark twain had a wonderful line, it's the difference >> what about australia? >> it's very much related. the difference between president obama and a future president donald trump, is going to be the incumbent president will use the remainder of histerm to continu importing people, we have every reason to be ieve at least some of whom are jihadist. they can't be vetted and t come from places in which jihad, sharia, are the order of the day. australia is a case in point. we have been hearing, not very much frankly, because it is a secret deal because the president struck with the prime minister of that they won't admit into australia. refugees from burma or who knows where, who they believe are two evidently, too dangerous to come into australia and the president of the united states has decided he would bring them here. and j johnson this will not give congress information about who these people are, where they are coming from, what they know about why they were not let in. oranything else from that matter. this speaks to your question, does it matter who is in

mark twain would have had the same experience. was the way he wrote and then there was the way people spoke around him and so, we today feel like something different is going on because people didn't write the way they spoke as much in the past and there was no way to record how people spoke. so you just get little hints of this. if you see a silent film of people walking down the street, they're walking in front of the flat iron building, you can see it, women's dresses are going up, and you can watch clear well-preserved film, 100, 110 years ago now. how do they talk? they do not talk the way that the magazines and books are. and everybody is reading from scripts so they drop in slang and we don't know how they sounded. fitzgerald writes a novel when he gunshots-- he gets a little of it. we don't know how the people at the party in great gatsby talks. today we know how everybody talks is recorded. the past only seems cleaner in that way. people have always spoken messy when they speak casually. that's just humanity. as mandarin

he's a mark twain prize winner for humor and everything else in my book. mr. reiner, sir. why did you pick mary tyler moore to be the star of "the dick van dyke show"? >> because i was smart. any producer in the business would have hired her. there was no question, the first time i saw her, i knew she was it. i had already seen 23 people for that role. and i told sheldon leonard, our executive producer, i don't know what i'm looking for. he says, you'll know when you see her. i saw 23 people. actually i went to danny thomas, who put up the money, and i said, i just flew this girl in from new york, and it's not working out. and he said, who is that girl who auditioned for me to play my daughter? she was perfect but her nose went the wrong way. >> it wasn't dramatic enough, her nose. >> yeah. so he said she was on the richard diamond show, only her legs showed are she was a secretary. i looked it up and it was mary tyler moore. she walked into my office. i saw those legs, the smile, and i knew that was it. i asked her to read something. i gave her a script. she read two line

thomas: mark twain said to always tell the truth and you do not have to remember what you said. if you behave in an ethical way, you will sleep well at night. you will know that there is nothing to be exposed, nothing to hide. nothing to haunt you. terre: happiness is related to the principled. thomas: it is necessary but not sufficient for happiness. michael: it must be difficult to always look over your shoulder and wonder whether the law will catch up. my suggestion is do not do the crime if you cannot do the time, is the expression. mr. cardoso: i could not imagine a person without principles having a happy life. they have to lie. and the person who is not correct has to try to disguise. will and to live trying to disguise cannot produce happiness. terre: do you think the principled person leads a happier life? ms. albright: i do, but i do not think it is easier necessarily. i mean, happiness is something internal, you do not laugh all the time. i think that sometimes hing a principled life puts you into difficult positions where you have to take stands that are not popular.

mark twain and have had the same experience, there was the way he wrote and then the way people spoke around him. so we today feel like something different is going on because people didn't write the way they spoke as much as in the past and there was no way to record how people spoke so you get little incidents, if you see a silent film of people walking down the street and walking in front of the flatiron building you can see that it's a point where you can watch clear well-preserved films, 110 years ago now. how did they talk. they did not talk the way the magazines and newspapers did in english but we can't hear them. when we get sound but the sound is bad and everybody is reading from a script. so they drop in a little slang. you still don't know how those people sounded. fitzgerald writes novels where he gets in a little bit but still fitzgerald looks normal so he's still wonders how those people at the party in great gatsby talk. it's tough. today you know how everybody talks. so the path seems cleaner in that way. it was, people have always spoken messy. as mandarin, they spok

you know what mark twain said, "history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes." very much the nature of financial history. terre: as warren buffett says, we will never have perfect international financial stability. that is the history of markets. but can individuals create a financial future that improves on that history? can investors, governments, and political leaders transform their values to mitigate the pain of future crises? that is next on "big problems, big thinkers." ♪ thomas: do we really have to pass a law that tells bankers, you cannot give a loan to someone who cannot pay it back? warren: i have 20 iq points over him, and he is getting rich and i'm not. that drives people crazy and it will continue to drive people crazy 100 years from now and 500 years from now. steven: as soon as you have two cavemen with caves, one of them looked at the other and said, "why is his cave bigger? why does he have shrubs and we don't?" i compare you to me. ♪ ♪ terre: welcome back to "big problems, big thinkers." i am terre blair. after the near collapse of global mar

. >> never the twain shall meet. >> that's not gonna change. so where can you find common ground? that's gonna be up to us as citizens, and we have abdicated for too long our citizenship. when we look at the electoral results, it's not as though we had most of the electorate come out to vote. you know, this person, 45, was elected with a minority of the total electorate, if we look at it, so, again, if we are serious about building our communities, if we are serious about protecting our children, you got to get in the game. >> well, our senators did go to the inauguration, but they are against three of the big key cabinet nominees. attorney general, the education secretary that's being proposed, the epa head -- those are all being disregarded or at least poo-pooed by senator bob casey and across the river in new jersey, senator cory booker. they don't like the nominees they're being handed. >> cory booker -- if they offered him pizza on tuesday, he'd be complaining about it. i mean, he took an unprecedented step... you can tell he's running for president of the united states. and

>> mark twain once said a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth comes out. you don't have to tell that to steven mnuchin because he really got lambasted across the country that clearly was not true. it began from a political article that reads in part "one west has taken steady fire from regulators and consumer advocates for a myriad failure in florida" over a 27 sent payment error. sure enough, the story was picked up by many other media networks and outlets, you get tens of thousands of results if you google this. an attorney who runs the senate for class action fairness, frank did some research and proved not only did steven mnuchin and his company have nothing to do with the home, the home was never foreclosed upon. in fact, the bank involved is having to pay the woman for her troubles. the untrue story stirred up an audible roar, the correction was largely taciturn. a line at the very bottom, the second foreclosure was filed in 2016, minute and had sold his stake in one west and was on the board of cit, which really is kind of a complicated way of sayin

one of america's greatest authors mark twain who has been gone for over 100 years is set to release a book. yes, it started at the university of california-berkeley. a researcher combing through the official mark twain archives found handwritten pages by the author. it was a bedtime story he made up for his two daughters 104 years ago. the girls so loved this story he wrote down in his notes, unclear whether or not he planned on publishing the story. it's about a hapless prince that can talk with animals. his estate decided it needed to be shared and sold it to doubleday and phillip and erin stead finished the tale saying no pressure there.

another part of the case is that twain has an iq of 69. he has intellectual disabilities and can't read or write very well. in this country -- the state expert in this case was hired by the state gave doing and i to four points for his iq and said he was stressed out and anxious at the time of testing. well, i'm not a doctor, seriously barely smart enough to be a lawyer but i will tell you i know you can't give someone for points of their iq because they're stressed out. one of the benefits of working at a large law firms as we can hire psychologists and they all said this is not cool. that doctor was fined $5000 and he cannot do death row evaluations anymore. [applause] because of that the judge granted a new sentencing. ice preacher with would save his life but i wanted him out. his girlfriend was impossible to find. she was the critical witness because she said the truth initially. but i would come back to texas and i would get a tip from where she lived to, should see me and slammed the door and i would go home. many times. one time we

over a century ago which included the likes of president theodore roosevelt, andrew carnegie and mark twain. melissa fleming reports on a syrian woman's attempt to flee her country on a fishing boat along with 500 refugees. when their boat was deliberately capsized in a hope more powerful than the sea. journalist kimberly fieldsal hearse makes her case for breast-feeding in the big metdown.

as mark twain says, never get in an argument with a fellow who buys ink by the barrel. it's hard to stay fighting with the press year after year, month after month, and again, i would have started out on a different foot. >> you have been in the position of assigning white house correspondents to that room. how -- what does it feel like to them when in the very first press briefing, the press secretary gets facts wrong that are easily provable to everyone in that room? >> by the way, that room as you know is an awful space. it is cramped and grotty and in fact, they want to move it to the old executive office building is not a terrible idea. but it's not a place you really want to be. i think the problem with what he did today was he set himself up in an adversarial relationship with the press by basically saying you are the ones who are making up false news, we are the repository of facts. in fact, the press secretary's job as was famously said, is to tell the truth slowly. it's a propaganda job. >> in their world, was his job to go out there today and to create a mini

travel used to be, there were a few books about it.the first book i ever read on time travel was mark twainkee in king arthur's court. that came out six years before wells came out with his time machine. go back to the time of king arthur. i read that when i was a teenager. now, my six year old granddaughter, almost every book she has has time travel in it. this is something that really has become quite Ãa dozen t.v. series that depend on time travel. none of which i particularly like. i always give new series a try. [inaudible] >> and having some twists and ? >> i will enjoy. i suspend disbelief when i get into these things and i think my book has been proven wrong. there are millions of conclusions i reach at the end that time travel is impossible. now that is odd when you have movies like interstellar. in which people can travel through wormholes. and while they don't actually go back in time. in that movie. but they do slow down time. there was an article in scientific article about time travel in which they talked about the possibly of going through wormholes to go back in time. and i

and, you know, as mark twain says, never get in an argument with a fellow who buys ink by the barrel. it's hard to stay fighting with the press year after year, month after month, i would have started out on a different foot. >> you've been in the position of assigning white house correspondents to that room. what does it feel like to them in the very first press briefing the press secretary gets facts wrong that are easily provable to everyone in that room? >> by the way, that room as you know, lawrence, is an awful space. it is cramped and grotty, in fact, they want to move it to the old executive office building is not a terrible idea. but it's not a place that you really want to be. i think the problem with what he did today was he set himself up in an adversarial relationship with the press by basically saying, you are the ones who are making up false news. we are the repository of facts. in fact, the press secretary's job as mike mccurry famously said, is to tell the truth slowly. it's a propaganda job. >> in their world, was his job to go out there today and to create a minimum

that, guys, this sum and expense of the -- substance substance substance of evidence that convict twain brown. we fouled out the grand jury, which you have heard is more in the public conscious with ferguson, baltimore and new york. the grand jury investigates a crime to see if there's not evidence to go forward with a charge. the grand jurors were badge at therring her. we found thought from the chronicle -- they not a pull -- pulitzer and i was the source for the work she at pull litter for finding the following, the grand jury jury venging a police officer shoot, the foreperson was an active duty belief. that shocked me. realize it i was up against something really big here in texas. one thief grand jurors had been 0 a grand jury six teams. the judge on the case would appoint a commissioner, usually a donor or friend, and then they'd grab their friend and go to grand jury. it's like us, want to go to grand jury? no offense to the people in the room about it was mostly old white people. i said how does this happen? because of lisa's work and because of the brown case that method of se

the first book i ever read on time travel was mark twain, connecticut yankee in king arthur's court. that came out six years before wells came out with his time machine. go back to the time of king arthur. i've read that when i was a teenager. now my six-year-old granddaughter almost every book she has, something that really has become caught on. there's a dozen tv series that depend on time travel, none of which i particularly like. i always give new series a try. [inaudible] >> having some twists. >> i will enjoy. i suspend disbelief when i get into these things and i think okay, my book has been proven wrong. one of the conclusion i reached is that time travel is impossible. that's odd when you have movies like interstellar in which people can travel through wormholes. they don't go back in time in that movie but they do slow down time quite a bit. it was kip thorne who wrote a book, an article, a scientific article that has the word and time travel in the title in which he talked about possibility going through wormholes to go back in time. i discuss that in your because it turns

mark twain would've had the same experience. there's the way he wrote on there's the way people spoke around him. so we today feel like something different is going on as much as they spoke in the past and there is no way to record. if you see a silent film of people walking down the street you can see it, the woman stresses are going up on there's a place where you can watch the film 100 or 110 years ago, how did they talk. they did they talk. they did not talk the way the magazines or newspapers. so they drop in a little slang but we still don't have as people sounded. but still this general is a formal us. so we still don't know how those people at the party still talk. today we know how everybody talks. so the path always seemed cleaner in that way. so people have always spoken messy that's just humanity. and mandarin is spoken by the page so for me i'm trying unsuccessfully because i think i've aged past it to teach myself mandarin. and i'm finding that one of the difficulties is that there such a difference between what's

he's a mark twain prize winner for humor and everything else, in my book. carl reiner. mr.einer, sir, why did you pick mary tyler moore to be the start of "the dick van dyke show"? because i was smart like anybody else. anybody who ever had to audition anybody, there was no question about her, the first time i saw i knew she was it. i had already seen 23 people for that role and i told sheldon london, our executive producer "i don't know what i'm looking for." he says "you'll know when you see." and i saw 23 people and actually i went to danny thomas who put up the money and i said "i just flew this girl in from new york and it's not working out." and he said "who was that girl who auditioned for me to play my daughter? she was perfect but her nose went the wrong way." >> it wasn't dramatic enough, her nose. >> anyway, so he said she was on the richard diamond show, she had -- only her legs showed, she was the secretary. i looked it up and it was mary tyler moore. she walked into my office, i saw those legs, that hair, those eyes, the smile and i knew that was it. i asked h

mark twain was there. bohemian types. and mary peck was there. mary peck was a woman who married well, didn't care about her husband, smoked, early flapper, and was very witty and wilson took -- was smitten with her. this happened three times, three times he went to bermuda and he actually sounded had her out about running for president first. she said you should do this. historians are divided what actually happened. but ellen wilson said mary peck was the only unhappy that it did cause them. i'm circling around because when wilson was entertaining marrying edith, colonel house, he was an adviser who was -- so wilson's right-hand man. unofficial adviser. he had no real title. wilson liked that. he loved to have people who weren't official people and sound things off of. house didn't want him to marry either. he let it be known these letters were out there and they might get sold to the press. wilson freaks out, sends fwra n grayson to tell edith. edith is taken aback, wow. and wilson goes to bed. the president of the united states in bed because
