it's really a unique place. i don't know how many of you have been there, but you can really see what impact the state had on sarah palin's philosophy, her demeanor, her upbringing. so the one thing, before start getting into some of the alaska stuff, is that we really tried to bring out in the book that she has a three-dimensional person. and so much of the coverage of sarah palin is one-sided. she is really easily caricatured, but what we really want to do is get to the bottom of her character, which is much more complex than either her fans or her foes often believe it to be. one thing i want to start off by saying about alaska is that it sort of turned into a joke at some point in the campaign that she was the maverick and the word was thrown around by tina fey all the time. when you go up there, you really realize that she really did take on the republican party in the state. and she actually doesn't have a lot of friends in the alaska republican party, which is really interesting to us. and one of the bigg

there is nothing special or unique about afghan real-estate. there are lots of other places where al qaeda and groups like it are holing up. it may become a sanctuary where the taliban can undermine pakistan. if they are already don't have pakistan as a sanctuary. i am not arguing that afghanistan is irrelevant. i just don't see it as critical to the effort against terrorism or the future of pakistan. i don't think the general has made the case -- this is really at the heart of the president's dilemma. would it, in the long run, accomplish anything? would the results be commensurate with the investment? if we put in 40,000 more troops, things will improve. i have no doubt about that given the talent of the u.s. military. the real question is, will it and door once we dial it back? -- endure once we dial it back. there is also the reality of corruption that we're not going to get rid of. i do not see it as producing commensurate results. i would roughly stay where they are for the time being. i would put an emphasis on training rather than more

the united states is unique in that but it does seem over blown.he book called atomic obsession published next week argues that the united states has any threat that's been sig'ificant has been exaggerated. the threat, i agree witherfu er thpá it was to de troy capitalism and economyism but there has been a tendency to exaggerate the thrqpás and we've gotten things like war in iran and current war in iraq and worse case scenario fantasy that sadam or iranians now could dominate the middle east without examining that prop schism through the threat of al qaeda that's led to massive expenditurqj and two wars in many respects. so i'm not sure. i would have to do a comparative thing and i think generally western europe looks good overall. they've obviously not been free of this as well. >> can ideal with focus on this. your comment to my comment. well john, what could you - could the united states do different with regard to pakistan in 2002. same way as it would treat it's own countries that harbored and supported terrorists. by condemning the behavior

we used to thank unique to us, like abstraction and understanding -- well, they can learn sign language. they can learn up to 140 different signs, and use them in the relevant context or they can invent signs for which they haven't been taught by. they can do sophisticated problems on computers. they have been shown to have an extraordinary pictorial memory, photographic memory, and there is one young chimp in japan, everybody has been and try to compete with him with his memory skills. and so far people have failed. it will probably be one of these who will finally be able to keep up with that. so for me of course these intellectual similars are not even as exciting as some of the behavioral's similarities that we've uncovered in these 50 years. the long-term supported bonds between mothers and their offspring, the long period of childhood. it's obvious that young chimpanzees like young humans have a lot to learn, and this is the time when the brain is most plastic so it's new behaviors can be required. it's during infancy we believe that new behaviors may actually appear as if they ar

are americans unique in that elevation of independence and discomfort with parties? are there other democracies or political cultures within the united states foreign part decision is not a bad word? >> that is a terrific question. i have not done a real comparative study. although partisanship appears to be declining across western democracies, the self identification as an independent is peculiar to the new united states and that is what interests me, and elevated status that is awarded a great deal of solicitude by politicians and others in the united states. i will ask you all. what i think are quite significant consequences for policy. i think what is unique is independence as an avowed political identity. >> you are right, i have something to say. i would absolutely agree with that. the other thing i think makes us unique is that everybody here studies non-voting to a certain degree. one of the things i found most uncomfortable in the european context is that not only is non-voting not prevalent, it is also not seen as a choice. we have all heard about compulso

were there unique circumstances or is it possible for president obama to do this?a really good question. when you look at the history of the 1990's, it teaches lessons. when president clinton took office, there was a large budget deficit and people were concerned about it. that is when the concord coalition began in 1992 as a result of concern about rising deficits and debt. what happened was a couple of things -- one was a continuation of the paygo rules we talked about and caps on congressional spending. these are programs to go through the annual appropriations process. the clinton administration introduced a deficit-reduction plan. that was their major initiative in 1993. it was a mix of spending cuts and tax increases. it was controversial at the time. it was enacted with no votes to spare, as people will recall parel. deficits begin -- deficits did begin to come down and there was another agreement in 1997 that the clinton administration reached with the republican congress which was the balanced budget act. the republican congress contributed to the favorabl

and go to them for approval in those situations that are unique, or novel. but it gives us the ability to move quickly in the appropriate cases. >> you listed some high-profile investigations that have been launched on your watch. how do you respond to those people. the sec has battered because the madoff situation. right now is a good time for the sec to make a big speech, list a bunch of high-profile investigations, but there may not be much there. this is a publicity effort. >> that's odd. i guess i would say read the complaint. companies are paying real fines of significant amounts. so this is not an effort to respond to critics. we respect what the commission has done. >> so this doesn't represent the new enforce. what does it respect? >> well, the cases are. i mean certainly under chairman sha peer row and the commission, there's been an effort to revitalize to take a hard look at it and decide where there restrictions or procedures or practices that hampered the enforcement effort, and thanks thanks to her efforts, and those of the commission, we've b

>> the situation we have seen in south florida is not unique. i was in san diego that was a place i had grown up thinking i was almost a model community and they have in the recent years fallen into the same corruption pit that we're facing in this community. part of that is a function of what we were talking about earlier is the mobility and transitory nature of the population population, people frequently don't know the candidates they are voting for and they can be persuaded to vote for someone who is good and attractive on television, but may not have much moral foundation underneath. i think back goes back to journalism they play a key role in giving the citizens the information on what each -- on which to sort that out. it is also important in that it is what keeps public officials on their toes. if you think nobody cares what you will do and nobody will report to you will do, it it creates an environment that can be addictive to inappropriate behavior. third, we have to encourage more good people to feel that they have a civic responsibil

. >>> one of our i reporters has a unique perspective on the orlando shooting. from the balcony of her apartment, she was right there. heath heather, thank you for joining us. you look out and see all this of this. >> i had no idea what was going on. i adjust woken up and i opened the blinds, and there was 50, 100 rescue teams and it was very scary when i did not know what was going on. when i found out later what was going on, i was not that scared. i was actually probably more protected than anybody else. i was surrounded by s.w.a.t. team and secret service. >> and you found out by watching tv? you were watching outside and watching the television? >> caller: i opened the blinds and saw all of the policemen and i turned on the tv and i was watching the live interviews that were being conducted five stories below me. i was standing on my balcony watching it all. >> did you know anyone who was there who was involved who worked there? >> caller: i didn't. i honest lly didn't know that company existed. there are a bunch of companies in that one building. i have ne

as they faced the unique challenges of our time. now his deep interest in history as carry forth by his daughter, the wonderful caroline kennedy, and i am so pleased to accept her invitation to share a few words to open this historic conference. i understand this event is helping to mark the kennedy library 30th anniversary, and i salute that remarkable institution as well as the other 12 presidential libraries for the important work they all do. i should note that the current director of the kennedy library, tom putnam, grew up in kennebunk maine, and worked with me on my 1980 campaign. i am pleased that that has led him to take on a leadership role in the presidential library system. the chosen topic could not be more timely. as the world faces the prospect of more countries gaining access to nuclear materials, it is fitting for the presidential libraries to gather historians, scholars, and foreign-policy practitioners together to discuss the presidency in the nuclear age. i look forward to hearing more about your deliberations.

three unique cases, one similar result. they altered the way we view our justice system forever. the spectacular and bizarre atmosphere surrounding the michael jackson molestation trial is where i want to begin tonight. prosecutors charged jackson with molesting a 13-year-old boy. they claimed the king of pop gave the boy alcohol, or jesus juice, as he called it, and conspired to hold him and his family against their will. he was found not guilty on all charges. after the stunning verdict, many said jackson's celebrity status was a huge factor in this case. joining me now, my incredible expert panel. also dear friends all, diane dimond, journalist and syndicated columnist whose pieces can be seen at her website, dianedimond.net. she's also the author of be careful who you love, inside the michael jackson case. and aphrodite jones, author of "michael jackson conspiracy." plus lisa bloom, an anchor on the legal network in session. lisa, what do you believe are the biggest lessons we can learn from the michael jackson trial? >> i think there's no question that his celebrity status a

but we also don't believe that the principals that we stand for are unique to our nation. these freedoms of expression and worship of access to information and political participation we believe are universal rights. >> china regularly cracks down on its religious and ethnic minorities and sensors the internet. >>> the bernie madoff auction brought in more than $900,000 for victims of his ponzi scheme. the mets jacket with his name blazoned across the back sold for more than $14,00020 times what it was expected. one buyer explained her fascination with the stuff. >> it's like getting a plate of china from the titanic and bernie madoff may have been an even bigger ship wreck. >> just about everything is up for auction or everything that was up for auction sold far more than the auctioneers. >>> i know that makes those gold parties that you see even more popular. >>> the stocks are set to open higher this morning, good news is expected when the october retail sales data comes out about an hour from now. the sales probably rose by about 1% after a drop in the previous month.

the simple fact is the fed serves a very unique and special function of maintaining the value of ourrency, of keeping inflation under control, and to the extent it can effect it, of helping us be an employed economy. but we've got to be careful that we don't overreact again in dealing with the fed. it is a unique strength which we have as a nation, that we have an independent agency which is not subject to the whims of the politics of the day in the way we manage our monetary policy. and i do think they make a very legitimate case, that the at least in the larger undertakings in the world of finance, they need to know what's going on in order to do monetary policy well. so i think we should be concerned about that. the philosophical issue here is on the consumer side, how you deal with the consumer protection. i sense that there's an attitude, well, let's just check the box of consumer protection by setting up an agency which says we're going to protect the consumer. my guess is that that will be counterproductive to the consumer. i suspect that once you decouple the regulator who ha

coffin flies is a unique term. jean casarez, explain. >> coffin flies come upon something when there is decomposition. that's what they veer toward. they found the coffin flies on towels, in casey anthony's car trunk and they found the coffin flies within the remains. they say that shows the coffin flies veered there in joune or july. what that shows to the prosecution is the time of death was shortly after caylee anthony went missing. >> the stain that was in the trunk of my daughter's car -- when i opened up the trunk, we had the windows rolled down, the sunroof open. instantaneo instantaneously, that gets in your house just like that. >>> every night hln's nancy grace brings you the real drama straight from the courtroom. >> every lawyer has a different version of what they would think justice is. >> tnt mondays, "raising the bar" is all new. >> to me justice is a jury rendering a verdict that speaks the truth. >> do you trust him? that's what this case comes down to. >> steven bochco's "raising the bar" mondays

we have this strange situation with korea which has the unique status of self-declared but unrecognizedeapons state. it is conducting nuclear weapons tests but the u.s. and other parties say that we are not accepting this as a fact. our objective and intention is to roll this back. even though this requires some diplomatic fiction that we would have to be explained, i would say the general idea is a good one. >> is it inevitable or were there mistakes made and decisions by the north korean leadership. >> our assessment was that they had enough material for one or two devices. the framework broke down. what happened was that the north koreans were left free. they were off of the leash. they ran three and 43 years, they had of that reactor fired up. -- for three and a half years, they had that reactor fired up. now they have about enough material for 10 nuclear devices. that is a big difference. the goal of the obama administration is to roll that back, to persuade the north koreans that to their own self interest is better served by giving up their nuclear weapons program than it is by k

i'm not in favor of licenses and i'm not in favor of taxes either but it is not unique think you but the people pay taxes. this people make good money. the employee people. >> do you think any of the dissidents will get a license to run to somebody? do you think idid that will ever get a license to rent their rooms? >> i'm not in favor of a restriction of that nature but you are asking that the trickle down to people? it absolutely does all over the island and they are our artists that sell to foreigners. there is an evangelical christian who employs five people. >> thank you mr. chairman. >> because he makes a much money doing it. >> the time of the gentleman has expired. the gentleman from florida mr. mack is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman and mr. chairman in listening to the discussion today from both sides and i think i have found the silver lining in today's hearing. and that is that this committee should move swiftly to apply the same restrictions that we have funky but to iran, sudan and syria all of which are on the state sponsor of terrorism list and

there are so many things that are there and unique about white house life and usage that really comem that time. >> it was george washington, who never lived there, who created it, who laid the cornerstone. >> with the nation's capital scheduled to move to a new federal city on the potomac by 1800, in 1792, washington and design competition to build a president's house. after the selection of james hoban as the designer and architect, problems soon arise before the cornerstone is even laid. >> do we put it to the north, south, east, or west? washington came and took off his jacket and cited the white house, and drove the stakes into the ground for where it stands today. he also had a certain taste that was very out of style. the white house is loaded with carving, and washington ordered that. he wanted it. if you go out the north door, there is a 13-foot garland carved up roses into the face of the stone. you look at it and think it was stuck on. it was not, it was carved. just before his retirement, he said i think there is not the taste for ornament that there once was. >> entering
