we all have this uniquely pure racial bloodline him and his bloodline makes us uniquely pure, makes is also uniquely pure hearted and morally superior to people in other races. so this is another postcard. this is a postcard from the period. on the right to have japan and on the left you have korea in a three-legged race around the world. the legend says let's cooperate together. is anybody here from texas? you're from texas. great. the reason i ask, i'm not losing my mind, the reason i ask is i used to live in new mexico, and the texans would come over in the summer and two to the bumpersticker's would have, the flag of texas and the united states like him and the slogan was proud texan, proud american. this is really the kind of attitude that the japanese were aiming for in korea. they wanted the koreans to be proud of their korean is. they urged him to take pride in their history, and their culture, in the dialect that they did want to call it a language. but at the same time they wanted him to be proud of the longest greater region. this idea went down much better than south korean

a week, but the mentoring is the uniqueness of the school. what they see. >> mr. banks, how do we get out of the cliche nature of what we've fallen into, the idea of each one teach one, they will be what they see, et cetera, how do we take it from that to actually a move of action? >> well, you have to get involved. obviously a lot of people who don't get involved really don't recognize the crisis that is happening in our community. >> it is a crisis. let us say that out loud. >> and it's necessary for, as you said, there needs to be a clarion call, i fully agree with that. too many people in our community, i think it should come from our community, i don't think we can always wait for someone else to step up and do what the men and other people in our community should be doing. >> bill strickland, talk about the indelible mark mentoring leaves, not to the one who mentors but to the mentoree, the idea it can, as i stated earlier, not only shape your life but really make you who you are for the rest of your life. >> when mentorship is done cor

that-- and actually i think fox news plays and almost unique role in this. they have really played a huge role in inciting and promoting this tea party movement if you want to call it a movement. you know, and but certainly in general, the media are much more polarized now than they were 40 or 50 years ago. people are getting very different messages depending on what they are tuning into and that is true with cable tv, talk radio and the internet, so which is cause in which is effect is really hard to say but it certainly plays into this heightened polarization. >> another question? >> i would like to maybe have any or all of the panel respond to what they think term limits would do for the democracy, whether the democracy would be better served with term limits or not. >> i don't think we need term limits and i think they are a bad idea but we don't need them because i think there is actually a fairly high rate of turnover already and actually the percentage of those serving in congress today who are they are, say if you go back 12 years or more ago, it was

chairman leach has a unique background.nk he is the only chairman in history, in this case, it 15 term congressman, he was educated at princeton, johns hopkins, and the school of economics. his background, from the beginning, was an international background. at hopkins, he did a master's degree in soviet politics and he went on in congress to found and co-chair the congressional humanities' caucus, and ultimately chaired the asia- pacific subcommittee. he then fled congress temporarily two years ago and taught at princeton and harvard before he was sucked back into the federal government to serve as the chair of the neh. his most interesting distinction is not his congressional service, his eight on reader agrees, but i think he must be the only neh chair in history to be honored in the international wrestling hall of fame. it is certainly good training for congress. welcome to the aspen institute. >> i am honored to be i think that has been -- i am honored to be here. there are a lot of things that we could talk about. wha

. >> one thing that seems to be unique with the current senate and the house in the uproar go-between 1950 and the present day is the evidence that there is such a thing now has party lines which is seriously enforced in and of the republican instance in the senate and also in the house and that seems to me to be absolutely unique. there has been party coherence in the past but have only one person from maine to cross the line is extraordinary is and it? is and it? i can't think of a single instance when it you had anything like that. you always have a certain number of people who were crossing the line during that entire period so it's unique and i would like to hear your explanation for this. >> there's been less and less overtime. the culmination of the trend that we have been seeing over time toward increased party unity. so it has reached me -- may be a new level of the republican side on some of these big boats where they've been able to get their virtually unanimously. on the democratic side there have been some defections. but it's really not new. i did we have seen this devel

and we're in a unique position to go to war. what we need is policymakers in washington is to develop a roadmap so we can get it done. >> so what i hear you say, jim, is and a sense we have lived in cities and villages for 8000 years or so, and those are primarily nonelectric. the last 100 years, which is really nothing in terms of time, we built this platform which is an amazingly efficient, but it's not particularly modern and the way that you are using it. it's not sustainable. it doesn't have that kind of things you're talking about. just let the market were, let us move in real-time, and we can take that same platform to higher and higher levels of broader performance. that his performance not only to deliver what you call universal access to electricity but also to deliver it in ways in which it is more sustainable, more environmental, and all of the other things that you put on the list. so it's a maturation process, that in what you call china time, we can get to where. the other thing we sort of lost track of how long i

we're in a unique position in the power industry. to deploy the solutions, to raise the capital, not raise the national debt. to do it at scale. and to do it in china town and let me put this in context. go back to 1910, i can barely remember it. but in 1910, we started down the road to provide universal access to electricity in america and we did it. and our price of our electricity has been flat in real terms for 50 years. that scale, particularly in a world where 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity today, and we did it where the prices are lower than other developed countries around the world. and it's allowed huge gains, in the development of our country. when we started down that road in 1910, we couldn't envision what we would enable, hospital, x-rays, mr i's, laser surgery. just the ability to do things in the medical world. we couldn't envision that as a result of providing electricity to every home and business, it would lead to productivity gains of how we develop steel in this country, with electro technology,

in terms of dealing with the world, the arts and humanities are unique in the sense of allowing people to learn some perspective and learn how to think imaginatively. this is a world of change, where imagination is going to be the key. if you look at the issues that new corporations -- when the business company looks for new hires, their top complaints are "can't write, can't read," which are skills one hopes are learned in the humanities. >> if i can ask a question that comes out of what you just said -- if you are talking about the state universities, which are under absolute budget pressure, and then pressure within those universities to penalize the humanities budget disproportionately to other fields, does the neh have a public role in terms of articulating the rationale for the humanities? >> it is hard to say, with regard to a specific university -- one has to be careful. but in terms of the role of the humanities itself, absolutely. sometimes, in higher education today, people look at what can lose the least amount of money or make money. but education is supposed to be educati

the national museum of american history has a unique mission. we have the mandate to tell the whole story of america through our collections, our research, our exhibitions, our educational programs, our web sites. this museum, which is the largest and most popular history museum in the country, offers the unique opportunity to visitors to discover the american dream and to understand what it means to be an american. we are assembled here in flag hall, which serves as the museum's public square. it is the place where we can connect our visitors with information and ideas and with each other. and it is also the place where we sponsor a number of important programs, naturalization ceremonies take place here. we have hands-on learning activities, living history programs, musical performances, and special events like this one. inspirational moments happen here. such as the spontaneous performance of the boys choir of kenya when they were here and sang the stars spangled banner without any of us knowing they were here during the inauguration week of p

before addressing the specific topics, it is important to discuss the unique operational challenges at year-end in the war zone. as well as the challenges imposed by the competing government priorities inherent in contingency contract in an environment in kbr's experience the stability inherent in normal contracting process and executions is not possible in a war zone. it is certainly an issue that kbr, the government and the commission should agree on. the structure and discipline of the contract and system is often at odds with the reality of the war zone operational environment, specifically the much constant changing needs and requirements. as we discussed the transition and drawdown in this unique context it is important to make clear contractors cannot receive actionable direction or guidance until the military is finalized its plans until the government translates the impact of those plans and contract services. this lack of predictability and logistical needs and war zone is simply a fact of life. another challenge we face is balancing the often competing priorities of the mili

concerns, their unique challenges. all right? so, if we're going to care about all people and treat all people fairly, we're going have to extend certain types of help and support to some groups of people that may not be needed for others. so, it's not about having a black agenda and a white agenda, a brown agenda, right? it's about having an agenda that genuinely extends care, compassion, and concern. >> moyers: and jobs. >> to all people. >> moyers: and jobs, right? >> especially jobs today. yes. >> you know, i think sometimes when we say american agenda, we don't mean, we don't include people of color. we don't include poor people. i mean, a real american agenda. i expect every president to care about poverty in this country. if we have 40 million people living in poverty, i think every president has to deal with that. and you don't get a pass just because you're african american or because of anything. i think if we have mass incarceration, that's an american problem. every president needs to be concerned about the

well, first of all i would point out that he exists in a unique political culture. four of the last five american presidents have been polarizing figures, which i think tells you more about us and the culture that has evolved than it does about them per se, which is another way of saying it's -- the founders created a system that makes it difficult to do big things, especially fast. there's a -- there are reasons why we haven't had health care reform of this magnitude for a hundred years since teddy roosevelt first introduced the subject. so for this president to achieve that -- whatever you think of the bill itself -- in this culture is a historic accomplishment. even more so, i think we all got caught up in the euphoria surrounding obama's election, the symbolic meaning of that. the inauguration day, no one who is here will ever forget that. and i think we forgot that there is still -- the notion that we had overnight become a center left country, rather than a center right country, i think has been tested and i think in some ways disproved, which makes obama's ac

why would i think this is unique? i would like general pillsbury to explain to me why i should not think it is unique, in light of the fact that dcaa does an audit of a larger part of this. and they determined that the use of the contractors would never exceed 15% and averaged 10%. now we are talking about a waste of $21 million. tell me why it is not something i should be hugely concerned with? general pillsbury? >> you should be concerned if those numbers are accurate. i don't doubt that they are. >> so we should not even ask they are accurate. why should i be concerned? >> certainly we are paying for services that are not needed. the maintenance posture for our equipment in iraq is incredibly high, and has to be well above the normal standards. the equipment is rode hard over there, too. are we overstaffed? quite possibly. >> don't say quite possibly. that is where i think there is disrespect for the people doing this work. you. dcaa and the inspector general. -- you have dcaa. the word is if they determine if it i

it is important to discuss the unique operational challenges inherent in a war zone. there also challenges imposed by competing governmental priorities. stability inherent in normal contracts is not possible in a worse on -- in a war zone. this is something kbr and the commission should agree on. the structure of contracts is often at war with the reality of the environment. the military has constant changing needs and requirements. as we discussed the drawdown, it is important to make clear that contractors cannot receive guidance until the military has finalized plans in the government translates the impact of those plans on contract services. this is a fact of life. another challenge we face in balancing competing priorities has to do with the military and the oversight duties. we have to react with speed t mr.to meet emission requirements. contingency contract has the contractors often finding himself in the middle of competing priorities. the government and contractor live by policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the requirements. greater flexibility

so, you know, in a certain sense there was obviously, it was a unique factor. but there was a, for at least the people i grew up with in the united states there was an awareness of almost a universality of all the problems that existed, which existed for a long time. this produced various reactions, some of which, strangely enough, maybe half of what you have heard here was a nostalgic for germany. many have the refugees. some went back. some never there is no uniqueness. at least for me. >> i happen to be reading a very american book. it is called the innings of monticello. she writes magnificently. was a very narrow book. she only speaks about that hangs and jefferson and the times. having learned so much about my background and the holocaust and presidents and would never there were so many analogies between the laws in the united states and what later happened in germany. and those laws that were prevalent in the united states were prevalent in europe before the slaves came to america. so they had a lot to pick up from. they had a lot of documentation and m
