when i grow up i had a choice of reading a newspaper, washing walt -- watching walter cronkite. that was all your information. it had great power because it was so concentrated. who knows what stories they did not tell. if you not like msnbc, go to box -- you can choose. go to the place that already agrees with what you decided to believe. you can go to pbs. you then go to discovery. you can go to the history channel. there are many more places. there is the world wide web. we're not going back to where we were where everybody is responsible. these are commercial enterprises. there are places to go if you want to know more. the burden is shifted on to the consumer of news as much as the producers of it. >> i grew up watching walter cronkite. >> you are not much older than i am. >> i remember the end of the program where he would say that that's the way it is a." today it is sometimes irritating -- i remember the end of the program where he would say, "that the way it is -- that is the way it is." there is a cacophony. there are many different voices making that noise. the burden

walter, and the peter g. peterson foundation, dedicated to promoting fiscal responsibility and addressing key economic challenges facing america's future. and additional funding is provided by the following supporters. >>> welcome to "worldfocus." i'm daljit dhaliwal in new york. as many of you know, a regular feature here on "worldfocus" has been our "signature stories." reports filed by our own staff members who have travelled the globe reporting on issues that we believe are important but largely ignored. in the fall of 2008, in our first few months on the air, we brought you a series of "signature stories" called 21st century africa. those reports were produced by "worldfocus" special correspondent martin seemungal, who has spent decades covering that continent. if the only pictures that you have seen from that continent over the years have been of war or famine, stick around for the next half hour or so. first up, one of the biggest stories from africa to have flown under the radar, that continent's chin

that is basically what it says -- confront the witnesses, what those framers had in mind was sir walter raleigh, who in fact was convicted on the grounds of some affidavits that people gave to a group of accusers in the house of lords, and they never showed up themselves. and blackstone and everyone else that he knows by heart all said no, we cannot have that. we are going to write the confrontation clause, and i agree with that. but now the question is, very well, you have to produce the witnesses in court. ok, that sounds good. but suppose the defendant -- if you do not introduce them, you cannot present the evidence. that sounds pretty good. but suppose the reason that you cannot produce the witness is she is dead, the accuser. and moreover, this defendant is on trial for killing her. he killed the witness. now can you introduce her prior statement saying that man, my husband, threatened me with death. that is a tough one. and where i think the majority there try to find the answer, and i did not, i was in dissent. they said we are going to go to the past to see what they thought in

that evening, famously, walter cronkite did not lead the evening news with the death of elvis presley. i think that the other networks did. cronkite was the only one. a purist that the traditional view that this is not news. clearly the trend cents. >> back then, you had a magic bus that went around the united states with kids in it and you took it to many spots. >> i went to the university of new orleans and continued the majic bus program. we took students on these semester's across america where we would go to nebraska or california and walk martin luther king's path in atlanta. i started doing civil rights bus tours, taking kids on civil rights to workers. i participated in others in this year. i would with john lewis on a pilgrimage. i spoke on rosa parks in a gun reported -- i became the guest speaker in new orleans. the first black mayor is reflecting on race in the war ends. i then went and taught at tulane university and now i am a professor at rice university in houston. i live in austin, so i'd divide my time between austin and houston. i have three kids would stick up a lo

[applause] >> general hayden. >> thank you, walter. couple of quick comments on the title for the panel, are we safer? yes, we are. and the dni, the creation of the dni shares some of the credit for making us safer. i would argue that the national counterterrorism center is almost a success story in what it has done to change how we defend the united states. david mentioned a few other things like information sharing, joint duty, these are are all happening kind of below the surface of the water which is much more prominent, mission managers, the kinds of process changes who's output, who's outcomes you see only after the course of a year have been put in motion by the creation of the dni. that does make us safer. i've got an additional one that i want to share with you. i think i have a view on it because of the jobs that i have held. and i don't think it was a direct product of the legislation, but it clearly was a by-product. and that was this, the creation of the dni freed up the director of the central intelligence agency to spend

i'm also convinced after the two jobs, walter, of secretary of education and drug czar, they they key is to make the institutions that are supposed to be the positive ones, positive. better families, better churches, better school. i were to be back 90% of pathology of the american life. that whole thing is interesting. it became very bipartisan. that was a good thing. a bunch of people joined us. and we had some success, but it was a very interesting point. you know, i told the audience on the real show, you know, i have a lot of people in despair about six months ago. the country's going to and people are sending stuff with hammers and sickles. this is -- just wait. and it is already shifting, it is correcting. it is coming back the other way. and if you don't like the way things are going in america, stick around. >> host: einstein wrote about that at one point. that's the thing that amazed him most about america because he would get all worked up, whether would be before the war, world war ii, or whether would be against nazis or mccarthyism. and buggy rides again of his life, the

but he thought walter wasn't an intellectual. that the intellectuals were charles collingwood who had received a rhodes and went to cornell and eric sevareid the philosopher from minnesota, where cronkite was kind of the gumshoe up reporter and didn't have this kind of book learning that murrow thought needed to be his successor. so it's a fascinating chapter. >> what are you teaching? >> i teach an undergraduate course on the american presidency and in the process of developing -- >> where? >> -- a graduate course at george mason here in suburban washington, which is a wonderful and in many way very unusual university in that it is very collegial and very entrepreneurial. and those are not traits that one universally associates with the academy. >> and what are you writing? >> i am still writing, as i have been for the last 10 years, a biography suitably epic of nelson rockefeller. >> you back in 1993, doug brinkley, talked about communicating with parents in the "booknotes" interview and the reason i want to run this is it show

as he appears to be wearing down making the walk from the dugout is tom walter. that will most likely be it for the starting pitcher tim cooney. can't ask for much more from cooney despite all the problems defensively behind him. >> i misspoke earlier today. i had him having just one earned run. it's actually two earned runs. >> jason: >> cooney, he is in the 6-th inning, he came into this inning with 104 pitches. his night is going to be over. >> jason: number 30, the right- hander, making his way to the middle of the infield is just inout of oakland new jersey. the demon deacons trailing the inout of oakland new jersey. the demon deacons trailing the game 5-4 >> jason: college baseball on css is brought to you by the stores of the carpets of call ton campus flooring and furniture cost less in dal ton. miami up 5-4 over wake forest. it hangs offensively here in the bottom of the 6th inning. we are leaving tim cooney out of the -- lead tim cooney out of the bullpen as he is making his 2008 appearance. he has started five games for the demon deacons. a record of 1

that is something walter pointed out today. with those gaps, the fbi is growing into a bigger and more programs role. >> you could make the argument that the most major muscle movement wasn't sharing legislation, and that we need to do better. it was the linkage that was a cultural for americans. they said it could never be done by a dci, in his role of running a four intelligence agency -- this is the really big one and said the legislation. i would also make the case that it requires sustained energy in order to make it work because it is historical and eight cultural for us. i refer you to the guidelines that were issued a very late, the cia intelligence or the spaces between cases, it was allowing investigations and the gathering of intelligence without a criminal predicate. left on its own without energy from the top, here it is from the top of the justice department. without sustained energy, it is so inconsistent with past practices that that will not get detraction. -- get the attraction. it will have to see whether or

so what walter white asked houston to present a plan by which the naacp could launch a sustained legalampaign to end segregation, houston chartered a novel course. to defeat the law of separate but equal, he would argue for the enforcement of separate but equal. in southern states he would argue that segregation's mandate needed to be met. he would seek to end segregation scourge by arguing for its promise. so here was the strategy, if you as a state were segregating black and white citizens, houston said that's fine. were not going to challenge that right now, but what we will say is you need to have these facilities need to be separate and they need to be equal. they started in the law schools. first houston hires thurgood marshall, who was his favorite student at howard law school. marshall graduate founded one of his class at howard law school, and came to work for the naacp, and they went to work on the mission of the segregating -- desegregate schools. and they start in law school. why? because every judge has gone to law school. and the judges do not need to rely so much on expe

subtle move as they could be it for justin van grou coming out of the wake forest dugout is coach walter. the subtle move is the pitch runner going from first to third on the hit by frankie ratcliff and scoring on the sacrifice fly. >> that's a great point. if he does not great to third there are runners at first and second the fly ball does nothing. and you could get a hit. >> and number 34, joel enters the right hander out of the a massive earthquake ravaged haiti's capital, taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and leaving millions more without water, food, and shelter. during our time in public service, we've witnessed firsthand the extraordinary generosity of the american people in the face of tragedy, here at home and around the world. and in the aftermath of the earthquake, once again americans came together in the spirit of our common humanity that is so characteristic of our great nation. but there's still so much to do. we must continue helping those most in need while also focusing on the long-term recovery of the people of haiti. please join the clinton bush hai

and meanwhile, we'll see what coach walter and wake forest come up with.nski, who is due to hit here, will be replaced with a pinch hitter. and it will be obeydy coming to bat for the demon deacons to face the lefty robinson. and the newcomer in the lineup for the demon deacons is bentley high man, 5'11" sophomore out of atlanta, georgia. and with the tied score of course eric erickson will have no decision, even though he got a solid inning just those five innings. one earned run. five strike outs, one walk. unfortunate for him he is not going to factor in this ballgame. >> jason: in his first appearance to replace the catcher lubanski. i amen hitting .242 on the season. and robinson chases the runner carlos lopez back to the bag. if you are just joining us, miami led this one 5-2 after four innings. wake forest with two runs here in the top of the 8th. courtesy of four straight hits off of eric whaley. now sam an inson facing bentley high man. wake forest for all intents and purposes should have had the lead if not for loss of ball mac williamson who stu

he gave us a great run in walter energy, wlt, up 11% since i recommended it march 10th at 86 bucks. i want you to listen again for coal loadings. if they are hot again, and he mentions alabama coal loadings, i want you to take more walter. walt. okay. i want you to take some more walt on wednesday. i'm giving you permission to buy it up to $100 a share. ppg, the old pittsburgh plate glass, this is a pretty interesting company because we've been behind this ever since we had mr. bunch on for months now. caught a big gain. this is a way to play the continued chemical side of the rebound. as much as i like dow and as much as i like dupont. you guys have met my girlfriends, right? poly and ethyl? as well as my buddy caustic soda. they're the key because they represent the building blocks of america and they've been in motion. i expect ppg will tell us these plastics are screaming. listen to hear if asia's now more than 20% of the business. if so the stock could zoom through 70 from its $68 base. of course, we end the week with bellwether general electric. parent company of this network.

how about that play we had in walter energy? now, last quarter this segment's earnings were up 179% from a year ago, up 123% from the previous quarter. the business is a hidden gem. remember, we're doing break-up value analysis here, especially now that met coal is out of control demand side and supply's limited. and it's being revamped by an aggressive -- this is sunoco's being revamped by an aggressive new management team led by lynn elsonhans, who is by the way very welcome on our show. took over as ceo in august 2008. but they've been slashing costs, raising cash, monetizing logistics assets, closing underperforming refiners, doing everything right to look like to me, bring out the value maybe break up the company. here's the bottom line. if casey's general is worth 2 billion then you'd better believe that sunoco as sets which have better scale on the retail side are massively undervalued by this $3 billion company. the parts here worth so much more than the whole that it's really kind of ridiculous. that makes sunoco to me,

he was kind enough to invite the lee family into his room at walter reed and speak with them for severaltes. it was truly remarkable as i watched former senator dole a war hero himself, as he pet and bonded with lex. i would like to thank the humane society who sponsored this trip for the lee family, connie whitfield, wife of congressman ed whitfield who joined us on this tour. they, mrs. whitfield and the united states humane society, went above and beyond for this family. there are many other people to thank, but i would like to especially thank my dear friend major general mike regna, who was instrumental in uniting the lees and lex. major general regna is currently serving in afghanistan, but i would like to note he was remembered in the lee's visit -- lees' visit in bethesda and at walter reed and the family is grateful to them. he helped them adopt lex, their son's best friend and partner. madam speaker, because of that trip i took with the lees to bethesda and wait a minuter reed and the number of young men and women both at walter reed and bethesda who have been severely wounded

history, going back to key milestones from 1947 right up through 2001, the first panel moderated by walter pincus, and we would like to thank you for what you published in the favor. -- the paper. that panel did a great job of looking at how our safety and security have been improved since the intelligence reform and terrorist protection act, and i will comment a little bit on that subject as well, and i very much enjoyed the final panel, which i had a chance to attend. those who were involved are very thoughtful and successful practitioners of needing the intelligence community at the highest level, and what they have to say has serious weight and made sense to me. there are really two foundation questions i think we are addressing in our proceedings during this day, and the first is this. what progress have we made in achieving the attend -- the intent? has it improved the performance of the intelligence community. as you know, it is even possible to have your students complete their undergraduate education in five years, so we should be able to get this done, but i will not go to the fa
