neighborhood guy, and i remember i just finished seeing bonnie and clyde move back in the day with warren beatty and i forget the actress, faye dunaway and i remember walking home that day and i said i'm going to rob a bank, just like bonnie and clyde used to. i was kicking rocks, you know. i was just a kid. >> how much money do you think you've gotten from your bank robberies all these years? >> i don't know. you might want to ask ceasar's palace or something. i have no idea. i never counted. >> torres says he didn't just gamble away his loot but was a modern day robinhood. >> i would give money to homeless people when i see them on the street. i give them $100. i remember one time i was coming out of a bank and kids were out there at christmastime with the salvation army. he asked me for money. i don't have any right now and i'll be right back. you can imagine what i did, okay? >> now 49 years old, torres started his career as a bank robber when he was only 17, and he claims all of his robberies have been non-violent. >> i would go in there and basically just pass the note. i never used a gun.

elizabeth taylor was in it, warren beatty was in it.f course, was las vegas, and it was about gambling. and it inspired marty to tell me this story. when he was getting his ph.d. at mit -- it would have been in the early '60s and he had access to the great computer at mit. he thought maybe he would handicap the races at suffolk downs which was the closest thoroughbred track to boston. and then he went on and told me everything that he put in the computer. and this went on and on, all of the jockeys their records all of the horses their records, all of the trainers their records, all of the conditions of the track, all of the weight of the horses, and on and on he went telling me as a scholar all of the data he had put into the machine. and then he said i got so good that i could break even. [laughter] so i remember marty anderson today. let me -- i think the easiest way to get into the story that i want to tell you, "the professor and the president," is to read to you a few of the first pages that set the scene, and then we can go in la

before the break senator warren beatty got a bold vision of an america where there are shared prosperityryone everywhere. this summit is about making that vision a reality and this roundtable will be a discussion about how to do that. and it will be a conversation. this is not your typical panel of talking heads great after all it's not every day that you have workers, a small-business owner a golden globe nominated actress and hopefully a mayor of a major city altogether on one panel. the diversity of this panel speaks to the breadth of the problem. inequality affects us all and we are here because all of us are committed to changing it. this promises to be a lively interactive conversation and we want you to be part of it. please write down questions you have on the index cards and we will collect them later. we are also taking questions via twitter with their raising wages hashtag. to tell us more about the roundtable and our participants i'm now going to turn it over to our moderator, dr. dorian wore an associate professor of political science and international public affairs at colu
