nature of vanderbilt. he was somebody who formally, i'm sure he never read adam smith. but he believed in the invisible hand. and he firmly believed that, you know, it's almost my duty as a citizen, you pursue your interest. and you fight for them. and he thought that's what everybody should do. but one the acceptions of that is he is deeply patriotic. and he named, he had three sons, he named them after his heroes. george washington, william henry heir harrison, and camela. when the civil war came around, he tried to give his largest steam ship to the union navy. the secretary said no, nobody thoughts war was going to last that long. he wasn't going to have the expensive ship. it was going to be a white elephant for the navy. so he ended up being forced, actually, against his will to it lease it for very large sums to the war department. complicated story that will have the free market people shaking their heads. because it really was a crazy result. but from the mermac sinks all of the human ships. of co

vanderbilt definitely do that.i don't think you do any business, based in the business decisions on the sÉances. and not only because to continue to be successful, i personally don't believe in spiritualism so i don't think the median section were contacting the dead. so i think that they were saying a lot of nonsense when they would conjure up the ghosts. and vanderbilts clued into that also even though he still went to there's a great incident where he called up the ghost of jim fisk after fisk had been shocked by the rifle from the mistress shot dead. so fisk sums up inventor built up him a few questions about the stock and of course the answers made no sense at all. vanderbilt says what are you talking about? okay, we'll see was right, you are me. or doing with the ghost of jim fisk. and then they start to joke with each other. he said had elected on the other side? and fisc guess ill find out an enough. and so it's a hilarious incident and it shows though i think he found comfort with answers but he didn't bas

we have had other is gradually, as chief justice vanderbilt always said, judicial reform is not for the short-winded. this is taking quite a while. the biggest push that we ought to make in implementing caperton is for the states, and it is not a majority. what do i mean by good procedure? at least in all lower courts a target judged that is targeting a motion of refusal should not decide her or himself that i am free of bias. it should go to some other judge. we have many states in which that is standard practice. the high courts are the real problem, and it looks as if most of them will not be willing to give up the current system of individual target justices making decisions whether she or he can sit. for that i suggest they borrow from the nfl, the ruling rule, which some of you may know, named after the then head of the pittsburgh steelers, one of the most revered men in football. he said that when a coach is being hired there has to be among the elite at least some of minority candidates. you just have to talk to them. he just have to hear them. that is all. give them a chance. o

and lieutenant commander vanderbilt was so disturbed by what happened that he ended up resigning and us and our challenge, our habeas corpus challenge which they joined with the military voyeur david frock in federal court and ultimately he wanted his release. and i would encourage you to read not just the story of major frock in the book, but also the comments that were made by the district judge, eleanor vale who was utterly appalled that the government was continuing to fight this case and really send a real strong signal which i think we've are paraded you on this case in this sort of injustices that are at the heart of so many of the cases. >> let me just take a slightly different, you know, approach to that question. for about a year and a half i've been representing one of the military commission defendants in guantÁnamo as his lead to civilian defense counsel before the military tribunal. or commission. and i have had occasions who have worked closely with the military lawyers who've been detailed to the defense of my client and of other guantÁnamo detainees have been referre

not just david, but the prosecutor in that case, military prosecutor, lieutenant commander daryl vanderbilt who initially was very gung ho for the prosecution of this youth for at the time they were calling a war crime, which was the allegation that he threw a grenade at a tank injuring two u.s. service members and an afghan interpreter. two big problems were, one, it's not a war crime. that's war. and two, they didn't have any evidence that he actually threw the grenade. and lieutenant commander became so disgusted by the lack of evidence when he started digging through the files, and the treatment, that this young boy into work, including forced isolation, sensory deprivation, and a sleep deprivation program, which has been named the frequent flyer program, where he was woken up every few hours, about 110 times in two weeks and just moved in order to disorient him and create a sense of helplessness. lieutenant commander became so distraught by what happened that he ended up resigning, and becoming a witness effectively for us and our challenge, our habeas corpus challenge which the aclu j

roe: what the gentlelady from minnesota has said is true and just in our area, vanderbilt university, the largest employer in the county, 14,000 people, these are not jobs that go overseas these people are doing great work, new innovations and new treatments that may go away. they are afraid to hire anybody. our medical center, 9,000 employees in their system, the ajoining city has a medical system of 6,000. that's 15,000 people that work in the health care in the towns and two cities. quality care to the people of appalachia. those jobs will dry up and those are great jobs not exported anywhere, jobs americans with health insurance, retirement plans, great benefits and we may be tanking that also. and i want to think back a moment when i graduated from medical school and think back as the gentlelady from minnesota, congresswoman bachmann was talking about, there were five high blood pressure medications. now we have over 50 wonderful medications to provide for people. antibiotics, we had one or two at the time when i graduated, ultrasounds, m.r.r.i.'s, survival rates of cancer. the r

and so vanderbilt, it would have been very interesting to see what would have happened if he remained alive and in control. 1877 was a violent, nationwide labor conflict. it was really interesting and troubling episode. >> he goes from the guy who can't spell to having his daughter? is it a daughter who starts the society 400? with the big ball? >> you have the grand -- >> alma? >> i think it's interesting that william vanderbilt, we had who was considered a substantial mansion. late in life, he was the novel for the custom for the considerate. he was sort of the washington square. old, even though the people in the novel would have stunned him for much of his life. behad a substantial brown stone. nothing fancier than that. as soon as he died and the the trial was settled, his son and grandchildren started putting up huge palaces. i think it's interesting that they waited until the old man was gone to start spending and having large balls. building a fancy palace would have been extravagance beyond his respect. >> yeah. yes? >> you can ask. >> in all of his accomplishments, did he ev
