i've lived in the buena visa area i'm here because i very much support the wallace family addition. i implo i explore lots of the neighbor areas. i appreciate the fact if the house will be moderate in its size it is staying very reasonable and it's staying within the structure of the existing house and adding the vertical addition it's also adding greenery to the front area. it's going to be much nicer to look at. i also vail the level of sustainability this doesn't also happen with the projects. they've taken a lot of time to benefit the environment and it will be a benefit to the neighborhood and to the neighbors with the view of their house. i really think this is a great design for a family house their maintaining what's there and they're asking for the variance to be maintained. i really support that project. thank you very much >> thank you any other public comments? please step forward >> good evening maybe i'm the last one we can all go home arrest i'm frank morris. my family as lived in this area for over 70 years. i've lived they're there for 3 seven years. tights real a s

roman scholar andrew wallace-hadrill.sted in ways of recapturing a picture of roman society as a whole. we've got great written sources for the romans, but with them there's always a suspicion that they represent the viewpoint of a thin upper crust. the great thing about pompeii is that, archaeologically, it preserves the full social spectrum from rich to poor. if you look at a standard plan of any part of pompeii, what you see is an extraordinary jumble of lines. and it's not until you start measuring and analyzing that a pattern emerges. what i've done is to group the houses according to size, from largest to smallest. what comes out is a jigsaw of tiny shops right next door to enormous mansions. here we have a shop -- one of dozens up and down pompeii. the way the eruption preserves things, you can tell exactly what was in these bins -- beans, chick peas, lentils... in fact, this guy was a grocer. the backyard here is full of empties -- amphorae which contained wine, olive oil and garum -- the unspeakable fish sauce wh

wallace stegner wrote the wilderness letter in 1960. [sandra day o'connor] wallace stegner at the end of his life was disillusioned with how the west had allowed development to overtake its natural beauties and its natural bounty in favor of development. [narrator] wallace stegner described a concept called "the geography of hope". he believed wilderness was necessary even if one never traveled to it. it's important just to know it's there. [robert redford] he saw the wilderness and preservation of the wilderness, and i agree with this, as the reason to preserve it because it told us who we are as a people, and as a nation. [page stegner] it generated a lot of activity, which lead, ultimately, to the passage of the wilderness act. [narrator] the wilderness act was created by congress in 1964. [senator bob bennett] wilderness designation is, perhaps, the most severe designation that congress can put on a piece of land in terms of anybody using it, or accessing it. [william meadows] people who say we're locking up wilderness aren't thinki

wallace is a religious activist, preacher and editor of "sojourner's magazine." he joins us from new york and our managing editor, kim lawton is with me in the studio. jim, welcome. what is your definition of the common good? >> you know people are asking me what the common good is and what it means to be on god's side. and neither has certain answers, but i think they're the right questions. let me give you my favorite from the book, this i from catholic social teaching. i'll read it right from them. the common good is the whole network of social conditions, which enable humans and groups to flourish. all are responsible for all. so taking a sabbatical to write this book and watching the news at night. and saw we had forgotten this idea of the common good. >> jim, who says what the common good is? >> the common good is found in all of our faith traditions, like the catholics, the black churches, i found it back to john in the fourth century. it's deeply in all our traditions and the moral foundation of it is to love your neighbor as yourself. in secular democrat

it's interesting that gregory wallace, an african american man, was supposed to play mr. oge, an excentric neisei who likes literature. i thought it would be an interesting thing to do. but after a while we did a reading and we realized as good an actor as gregory is, it was pushing his limits for him to play a japanese american character in the late 40's. >> i imagine him as being much older. >> in the course of writing the play and using various actors, he became younger. this chinese actor is more like a character in his mid to late 30's, excentric, a career bachelor who is into russian literature and who fashions himself kind of patterned after the japanese artists of the 30's and 40's. he has round sort of glasses and a braid. but getting back to the question of creating characters, for example african american characters, i'm also caution -- i had written another play called johann that was about an african american gi and a japanese wife that got married in post war japan. i wrote that play 20 years ago. i wouldn't do it for about 8 years or so because i just didn'

wallace, why did you select these certain photos in your book? >> these photographs were all taken when i was in chapel hill as a student working for the student newspaper, "the daily tarheel." and the civil rights movement at that time was working towards getting a public accommodations law that eventually came apart in 1964. the student newspaper supported the marchers. of we had some black students in chapel hill at that time and felt that if they couldn't eat in the same restaurants with all the rest of us, that budget right. and -- that wasn't right. and so all of these photographs were taken initially for either the student newspaper or for -- i served as a stringer for some of the local wire service is the and what not. today in publishing the book one of the purposes was to let some of today's generation that still live in chapel hill and are descendants from the people many these photographs know and you said what their parent -- know and understand what their parents and grandparents did so that they can enjoy the same freedoms that in
