the san francisco reception was the largest, the most vociferous history had ever known. the hero was home from the wars at last, and deserving the deepest respect and gratitude of the people he had served. in the midst of the ovation, the husband graciously acknowledged that he had not stood alone. >> this is not only my beloved wife, but my best soldier. >> in the nation's capital, greater than all the medals and honors of his career, was his final tremendous tribute. and then general macarthur stepped down, from the great panorama of history for which he had figured so brilliantly, but a soldier's words spoken from a soldier's heart. >> the world has turned over many times since i took the oath on the plane at west point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished. but i still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barrack ballads of that day, which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die, they just fade away. and like the old soldier of that ballad, i now close my military career and just fade away. an old soldier who tried to do his duty a

those people who have been predicting one to get even more those difference about it and to get the vociferous about the idea that this economy foundation is unsustainable. >> how worrying is a slowdown in china? the world's second largest economy, after all. how worrying is that for the rest of the world? >> it depends on the gravity. not too much because the size of the economy is so much larger than one it was growing at 10% fiber six years ago. then it was about a $2.50 trillion economy. now would is a $6 trillion economy. -- now it is a $6 trillion economy. it will still be buying a lot more things from the rest of the world. >> we did hear from the world bank earlier this week. they are warning that consumption and investment growth will slow external demand. china's trade with the rest of the world also slowing. what does all this really mean? >> it means that the whole concept of emerging markets as the growth engine of the global economy versus developed markets, yesterday's story. that concept is turning on its head. it has been one of the popular monikers for the past decade. india'

there were very vociferous. the same is true of the residencts and commercial and trust of daniel bernham. i was mobbed in one of the apartments one afternoon with complaints and nearly had to quiet them down. so they spoke one at a time. i have been very pleased by the information we have received and the enthusiasm from city build, the trades, and the manner in which they have already become engaged while all of this has been going on. it is a ramp up. there would be no way to start it when the construction started. i am very, very pleased that stings started so far back -- that things started so far back. as far as construction is concerned, i have no idea who was on the planning commission at the time when the cathedral hill was approved. but i chastise them. i am sorry. that turns a horrible fate on a major street in san francisco. you have this big maw of a garage and a couple of ramps and that if it -- and that is it. it does absolutely nothing 4 van ness ave. the fact that this building is going to engag

he campaigned vociferously and vehemently for grant in 1868 and again in 1872. and grant finally appointed him as part of the commission to haiti. it was a complicated appointment that douglas never felt very good about the way he was treated. but he saw grant as the leader of the party that had in effect freed his people. and to his dying day, he was a strong defender of grant not only as the war hero, but even as the president who had presided at least over some of the triumphs of reconstruction. >> let's go to the west coast and hear from seattle next. matthew on the line for david blight. welcome. >> thank you. i was just wondering, what do you think is the likelihood that douglass is going to win considering the light complexion of the crowd there? i'll take my answer off air. >> well, that's a very frank and good question. i'll give you a frank answer. i don't think i have a prayer. but i gave it my best shot as it were. and who knows? right? it depends on whether people -- i think in the end here, however people wish to vote on such a thing, it's probably

and he was quite vociferous in pushing back against the right ring of the republican party. i'm interested in the business stuff. >> before you get there, jackson, did you have a comment about something that was already on the table? >> alan just introduced a key word which is authority and the absence of it. i believe, too, what rick and everyone else has been saying about the persistence of consensus. there's a kind of maddeningly baffling sense that i have when i go from one set of media to another. i go from one set of media which we on the left like to call the mainstream media or the corporate media, to the internet. and i find there all kinds of views that are powerfully, i think, argued and well buttressed with evidence against austerity or against knee jerk interventionism abroad. but these kinds of ideas don't make it in to public discourse. and the consequence is there's i think a deep alienation in the population. i'm not saying anything startling or new here. but the consensus still exist with respect to foreign policy or with respect to fiscal policy. but they

that's what the people who complain about this most vociferously talk about, the one in '99. so it shows it. and what it shows most strikingly is that they all move down together. and they move up after 1980 together. now, there are two very interesting facts in that chart. at least two. the first one i've already told you. they all move together. the second one is that during that period in which we had massive redistributions in all countries, all seven countries had very little effect on the share of the 1%. the big fall in the share of the 1% comes as a result of the operation of capitalism. it reduced the real interest rate and, therefore, the income of those in the 1%. now, after 1980 they all turn up, some more than others. the united states, britain and canada turn up the most. sweden somewhat less. france, much less. why do they turn up after 1980? could it have something to do with the fact that 600 or 700 million workers were added to the labor force in china and india and that holds down the incomes of people who are in labor? in low incomes, middle income groups?

on our ability to register voters have been attending the committee hearings and advocating very vociferous lee against these bills and we've been trying to get a lot of media attention about them so we appreciate this opportunity to talk about it. we are very concerned that this has happened but. the republicans control both the house and senate in the michigan legislature and it's so extremely difficult. to get to prevail right now and i didn't want to really it's very important to point out that the need to leave is nonpartisan and we are not supporting either party we are supporting the voters and their rights to participate in our democratic process but there's what it seems that there's one party who is pretty committed not to having that happen unfortunately the league has been registering people since the nineteenth amendment was passed are we have just a little less than a minute left ari are are you going to have to stop functioning michigan now well because of the way the legislation is written certainly it's going to have a chilling effect because it wait now states. really woul

you will cover every word that we say, and we will complain vow sie vociferously about the words youourse, you're writing about the other guy. >> president obama, the gaffs we've come to know and love. there will be plenty more to come. back with me, amy, you've been champing here, what did you want to say? >> i wanted to rarg that if you were going to ask gingrich or santorum, they would say romney is plenty nasty when it comes to his opponents. whether mitt romney can get down and dirty to rise above his competitors, in this last primary season has been proefben a little bit. >> and i think, you know, converse conversely, romney, dana suggested you should fight back harder against the media, casting him as an out of touch rich guy. that's what rick santorum has been pounding day after day after day. he may have a media gig. i think that's a big problem for romney, which will hopefully end at this point which is his fellow republicans picking up story lines, many them concocted in chicago by the obama campaign and running with them. >> carol, let me bring you in here. if you're pres

you will cover every word that we say and we will complain vociferously about the unflattering wordsourse you're writing about the other guy, in which case, good job. but there are also big fundamental issues at stake right now. earns that deserve serious debate among every candidate and serious coverage among every reporter. whoever he may be, the next president will inherit an economy that is recovering but not yet recovered from the worse economic calamity since the great depression. too many americans will still be looking for a job that pays enough to cover their bills or their mortgage. too many citizens will still lack the sort of financial security that started slipping away years before this recession hit. a debt that has grown over the last decade, primarily as a result of two wars, two massive tax cuts and unprecedented financial crisis will have to be paid down. in the face of all of these challenges, we're going to have to answer a central question as a nation -- what, if anything, can we do to restore a sense of security for the people who are willing to work hard and a

year, when that court handed down a pro-gay rights ruling in california, mitt romney responded vociferously, saying, "today unelected judges cast aside the will of the people of california who voted to protect traditional marriage. this decision does not end this fight." this fight! he says, "this fight," he is a combatant in the fight against gay marriage. and yet, nothing to say about north carolina, sir? mitt romney could not have taken a more radically anti-gay set of policy positions during the primary campaign. he was against repealing don't ask, don't tell. he made jokes about stopping massachusetts for being the las vegas of gay marriage. he made us sort of a lisping gay joke while talking to sean hannity. he managed to see less anti-gay than rick santorum in a political contest, which is really something when you consider rick santorum. so today, on april 18th, 2012, that is still where mitt romney stands on gay rights. is that still true in the future? will he moderate those positions for the general election? will he try to pretend that he didn't take all of these anti-gay positi

but they really believe and you heard him, he was quite vociferous on the subject, that this is a lousy trumped up political charge and point out as you did that not only did the president sign legislation that took money out of this fund before, but almost 150 democrats voted for it. so they have -- look, it is hard to do a scale these days on the house floor any place else. we're in full swing now. full tilt here. >> david, is that what this is about? this is the run-up to the elections and everything now becomes politicized and scoring points? >> you know, it's hard to believe things could become even more politicized than a year ago, but they're being overly politicized. i think the president scored points on the student loan and that's why john boehner rushed it to the floor. i think that will go through. but on the assault on women, i think the democrats have stumbled on this one. what it does underscore, anderson, is we are going to be hot and heavy politics right through the election out on the house floor. >> and the democrats have a big lead in terms of being pro women. >> yes

the president came out and vociferously distanced himself from rosen and said these comments have noi would argue what ted nugent is saying, the language is much stronger. he has a history of saying this. at one point he told the president to suck on his machine gun among other things. i think that's kind of many on the right attacked hilary rosen and the president for being guilty by association. this would seem to be not -- if it's okay if the left does it, it's not okay if the left does it, but it's okay if the right does it. >> it's not okay for either one to say something like that. divisive language on either side is inappropriate. what in this does is once again we're not talking about the issue taz people care about. we're talking about something inappropriate that someone said when we really need to get back to what people are talking about and that's jobs and the com he. >> i don't understand why this is a tough call. i don't understand what benefit it is to mitt romney, which legions of this guy's fans are going to lose by saying that this is something wrong and vial and d

the tea partyers rallied vociferously against health reform.fically, president obama's proposed law providing coverage for millions of new people while requiring everyone to buy health insurance. here is the tea party response to those ideas in 2010. they're challenging lawmakers outside the u.s. capitol just before the final vote on the bill. no surprise. this kind of scene does not make me personally want to run out and buy a tri corner hat. the tea party was maybe onto something. whether the tea party itself motivated voters may be debatable as a proposition but with their outsized outsiders rage, tea partyers at least represented a real sentiment, a sense of disposition, distrust of institutions and a rabid panicked fear of american decline. you saw the tangible results of that in the 2010 election especially in the house where republicans won control with dozens of new seats. many filled by freshmen lawmakers. republicans controlled most state legislatures and held the majority of governorship. tea party backed republicans in florida and o

vociferously.lected university emailed financial aid info to thousands of incoming freshman but also am casts on its waiting list. that email reads in part: once again, congratulations on your admission to ucla. we hope that this information will assist you in making your decision to join the bruin family in the fall. actually wait listed students won't learn until next month whether the school has actually admitted them. getting in will not be easy. nearly 62,000 students apply to ucla last year. the university accepted only about a quarter of them. the sounds of crying kids could become a thing of the past on one airline. malaysia airlines which primarily serves arab sharks sadly. has announced a kid-free zone on some of its planes. children under 12 would have to sit somewhere else like out on the wing or something. we're told the move aimed at making the flying experience a little smoother for folks in economy. the new rule would apply to parts of the airline's air bus a 380s. a new ranking of

the new iowa state chairman is known for being a vociferous reporter of ron paul. one iowa republican telling politico, quote, he's not a guy you have a lot of confidence in. we spoke to a veteran iowa observer today who confirmed to us there's considerable angst in iowa right now among republican party activists and conservative activists about their new chairman's ability to get the job done in iowa. state parties are important. the first thing that we think about are things like getting out the vote and the basic logistics for the presidential race. it's also everything else on the ticket. it's every other race that will be on the ballot in november. every single member of the house is up for re-election this fall. with redistricting, a lot of those races are way more up in the air than they otherwise would be. so in states like are a total mess at the sate party level, what's plan "b"? if some key state republican parties literally are not able the pay their rent so it does not seem like they will be able to do anything for the elections this fall, what's plan

the question is whether or not he vociferously support mitt romney?reporter: yes one of the things we can expect insiders to say more than likely at that event on tuesday mr. gingrich as you he suspends his race will also throw his support behind mitt romney. of course that's a very, very difficult set of tea leaves to read. endorsements when candidates drop out. exact time is sketchy. emotional and difficult time. a lot of money is involved. the gingrich campaign has been working meticulously over the accounts for the expected closure the campaign. what we're told newt will probably endorse romney on the day he formally leaves the campaign trail. martha: you mentioned money. i want to talk about that. money is one of the nails in the coffin of campaigns at the end of these things. he was backed strongly by sheldon adelson for some time. how are they doing moneywise and what can they expect. >> reporter: the adelsons has but in 21 million. newt is in debt, he is in debt $4.3 million. he has gone through so many changes of staff, the staff that is esse
