are the cuniform tablets that were excavated in the late 1880's and early 1890's by the university of pennsylvania. tens of thousands of fragments of cuniform fragments. the story of anana starts in her adolescence. it travels through her journey as a queen and a goddess, and much of her story is devoted to the love, a very passionate love, for dimusi, who is a shepherd who she takes as her husband, lover and king. and this is called the return. a lament was raised in the city. my lady weeps bitterly for her young husband. anana weeps bitterly for her young husband. woe for her husband, woe for her young love, woe for her house, woe for her city. dimusi was taken captive in aruk. he will no longer bathe in aradu. he will no longer treat the mother of anana of his mother. he will no longer perform his sweet task among the maidens of the city. he will no longer raise his sword higher than the kugar of priests. great is the grief of those who mourn for dimusi. anani wept for dimusi. gone is my husband, my sweet husband. gone is my sweet love. my beloved has been taken from the city. oh, you flies of

it's in crises but amy's university, the university of pennsylvania is a fantastic university, almost as good as the university of chicago. and we've got community colleges which i think are growing and have had good support. we've got a pretty good education reform. so you know i think the culture of america is still basically the culture of america and i can't imagine any of us would trade our problems for anybody else's problems. >> rose: tom friedman, go ahead. >> i want to pick up on david. i'm a little less sanguine. i worry sometimes what we're that -- cleaned the cleanest dirty shirt. i agree with all the strengths that david has cited. but i do worry about the public private partnership that is needed to sustain those strengths and i fear that we are in the worst kind of decline, a slow decline. it's slow enough for us to imagine we're not in a decline and that drop everything and do what is still very much in our control and in our power right now for reasons david said to really turn this ship in another direction. >> rose: but if you look at this idea of being in the unite

and i became closer over the years as they passed, particularly after we both arrived at university of pennsylvania for graduate school back in 1988. the reason for this is simple but power. it reminds me of woody allen's line "90% of life is just showing up". milton had a gift for staying there. he stayed involves in everyone's life no matter they were. before facebook there was a milton. you talked about his family and how important it was to him and i thought the connectedness was related to that family and family business in politics from such an early age and campaigning and engaging in people of every background, at home or some junket in some part of the world. all of these were second nature to milton marks. i loved david talking about the seven phone lines at the house and brings back the memories of visiting there. there was always something going on at the marks house on jordan avenue. his parents rented out rooms to jewish refugees and this was before cell phone and the phone rang around the clock and various languages. it wasn't uncommon to run into a complete stranger in the kitchen a

finally joining us, amy gutman, president of the university of pennsylvania and chair of the president's commission on bioethics and the coauthor of "the spirit of compromise" why governing demands it and campaigning undermines it. i'm pleased to have each of them here for this conversation. we obviously don't know who the new president is and we come forward with the premise that whoever it is, these are the issues and the choices and the challenges that face him. i'll start with you. what is it this new president has to understand about america at this moment? >> well, i think this new president is going to have to govern and governing in a polarized society which we have in a society which has tremendous problems, budgetary, economic, immigration, educational. the list goes on. governing is going to mean bipartisan deals. and so mario cuomo may have said that you campaign in poetry but you govern in prose. we've been campaigning and i think most of america would agree in fiction. it's not just -- it isn't attuned to nib's ears that anybody wants to hum. we've got to govern by -- this

finally amy gutmann president of the university of pennsylvania and chair of the bioethics and quo author of the spirit of promise why campaigning under mines it. i am pleased to have each here for this information. what is it that this new president has to understand about america at this moment? >> well, i think that this new president is going to have to govern, and governing in a polarized society which we have and a society which has tremendous problem, budgetary economic, immigration, educational. the list goes on. governing is going to mean bipartisan deals. and so mario cuomo may have said that you campaign in poetry but you govern in prose. we've been campaigning and mostn fiction. it isn't tuned to anybody's ears that anybody wants to hum, we've got to govern, this president has got to tell people there's going to be some sacrifices everybody makes in order to get some gain and we need some big deals here. >> rose: david this is not likely to happen but suppose the president on november 7 calls you and says oh my god, i won, what do i do now. >> what do you mean, it's not likely

it's one that university of pennsylvania president amy gutman writes about in her book "the spirit oft and campaigning undermines it." i'll talk to her in a minute. in the obook, gutman writes abot the bipartisan tax compromise in 1986 in which she writes president ronald reagan and the speaker of the house on the right there, tip o'neill, were able to put their minds on governing rather than campaigning. it wasn't easy to do it, but they did it. they got together and passed significant tax cuts that really benefited many americans. jump ahead to 2010 to the debate over obamacare where the compromise in passing the affordable care act occurred only between democrats. not a single republican joined them in the vote. amy gutman joins me now. thank you for being with me again. good to see you. in the book you fault elected officials for spending most of the time campaigning rather than governing like they did 30 years ago. what's changed? why is governing different than 30 years ago? >> as the book foreshadows, and i wrote the book with my harvard colleague, dennis thompson, we have been

. >> pitts: cappelli teaches management at the university of pennsylvania's wharton school. with supply and demand, a shortage of skilled workers should lead to rising wages. >> cappelli: one of the things we know now is wages are not going up. in fact, they've been stagnant, and some cases even declining over time. so where is the shortage? >> pitts: what's changed in the way that american companies hire workers compared to a few decades ago? >> cappelli: i think there are big changes, and i think this is the heart of what is new. what's new now is that employers are not expecting to hire and train people. if you turn the clock back a generation ago, there really was none of this discussion about skill gaps and skill problems. >> pitts: because companies provided the training. >> cappelli: companies did it themselves. companies are now saying, for all kinds of reasons, "we're not going to do it anymore." and maybe they're right, they can't do it. but what they probably can't do is say, "we're not going to do it and it's your problem. it's your problem to provide us with what

indiana university of pennsylvania. a lot of new guys in the rotation and the one name that really stood out last night guard seth allen. a special message. a marriage proposal. perhaps the duke game would have been my choice but she seems to be happy and says yes. game action first half. here's those quick hands. comes up with one of his five steals going coast to coast. allen was game high 16 points. terps though down 1 of 3. second half maryland now up six. the turnover. allen hits the deck going for the ball. terps get it back. faust is feeling it. drains the three. the sophomore with 13 points. maryland wins 73-61. they'll open up the season next friday against defending national champions. the skins are much better than the 3-5 record would tell you. before you duplissea thismiss t cliche' keep in mind nobody was saying it last year when they sported the same 3-5 mark. a better than expected startd for the rookie t.b. makes up for a lot. >> if you told me robert would be the most successful quarterback in the nfl f

to look at what wal-mart moms focus groups and focus groups that peter hart does at the university of pennsylvania university of pennsylvania that he sent around the country some others. i got the distinct impression that a lot of the undecided that were out there, they were enormously dissolution, disappointed and president obama. they clearly didn't want to vote for in, but they didn't seem to be as curious. some of them didn't seem to be really hope the money considering romney. they sort of didn't want to vote for one guy, but they were paying that much attention. he didn't get the impression they were really paying attention. i think he was dead in the water. first debate, romney did well. the president show up. i love jay leno sign that the only people that the president won the first debate with the nfl replacement reps. that seemed to just absolutely nail it. he got a really nice surge off that. romney jumped up. and just sort of watching a lot of the tracking, romney pulled ahead and then sort of looks like he dropped a point or two. after the third debate -- i don't think it was because

university president graham spaniard. this is about an hour. >> it is a picture-perfect college town nestled amid the majestic hills of central pennsylvania and enormously popular university, it boasts the largest alumni association in the country. things were anything but happy when our guest rodney erickson assumed the presidency of penn state last november. the school was reeling from a side -- child sex abuse scandal involving penn state assistant football coach gerry sandusky. coverage of the scandal was nonstop. the school's reviewed football coach joe paterno had just been fired. president graham spaniard forced to step down. both men and others at penn state were accused of covering up the scandal to protect and state's reputation. this one of the mess that and in an erickson inherited an. that mess is slowly being cleaned up. jerry sandusky is in jail probably the rest of his life. the football program has been sanctioned by the n.c.a.a. but had a new and popular coach, bill o'brien who brought stability to the program. the university was fined $60 million and is still likely on the hook for millions more dollars as victims of sandus

you get a sense, and you had a chance to look at the focus groups that pewter does at the university of pennsylvania and some others. and i got the impression that a lot of the undecideds that were out there, they were enormously disillusioned in supporting president obama. they did not want to vote for him, but they did not seem to be as curious. they did not seem to be openly considering romney. they did not want to vote for one guy, but they would say, and you did not get the impression -- romney did fabulously well in the first debate. i love jay leno's line that the only people that thought the president won the first debate where the nfl replacement referees. and he got a nice surge off the bat. but then romney jumped up. and just watching a lot of the tracking. romney pulled the ad and dropped a point or two. and after the third debate, after all of the debates were done, romney seemed to relieve of a point or so. that is what we started seeing all kinds of conflicting data. and you started seeing tapering off. the week before hurricane sandy. lot of people say sandy killed him. i think it wa
