the people who are more impaired, those who are nonverbal who have profound intellectual disabilities, these are people who used to have a diagnosis of mental retardation. they might have had other diagnoses of other conditions like cerebrum palsy or down's syndrome and al a diagnosis of autism with it. the biggest increase is among those who are very capable, people who might in the past not have even had a diagnosis at all. the autism spectrum today includes everyone from the profoundly intellectually disabled to be socially awkward engineer in silicon valley who might be incredibly socially awkward but amazingly skilled at computers. and so with the growth of this spectrum of diagnosis and the growth of awareness we now have this feeling that there are more cases than there ever have been. as i recounted in this book, i consistently find evidence for reasons why people are being diagnosed more with partisan than ever before but very little evidence that there was somehow a true rise in the incidence of the condition. it is hard to know. we don't know. if there is in fact a true inc

we talked about who could go see.nt to see a very wealthy hollywood mogul who had a lot more money than he deserved, quite honestly. bob asked for his help. the hollywood mogul, as only a hollywood mogul could, turned him down and said, i had other priorities. bob turned to him and said, when i was 22, i had other priorities, but i went to war. [applause] i just asked the vice president whether mrs. biden was still here. she has had to leave to go back to the white house to prepare for a ceremony that will take place shortly as part of the national campaign to help the military families of those who are in uniform now. i think that might be the appropriate note on which to end. as we gather here to remember the greatest generation and the sacrifices they made for all of us, and realize how we are the beneficiaries, there are young men and women in uniform at this hour locking in loading weapons and going on missions in afghanistan and iraq. i just got back from my ninth trip to iraq. we still have 45,000 people they'r

who is this, uttered georgia who was such a legend in his own time and ever since that he actually managed to invade a feverish dream world of the range will george? there's a series of letters hamilton wrote about a quarrel late in the world of washington. and hamilton, and hamilton, washington was moody, irritably, even something of a powder keg gaza. and more than a touch of youthful bravado the great man and i have come to an open rupture. he shall for once we tend his ill humor. i can remember his son. bill humor that hamilton meant to imply that the saintly father of our country was this smoky, volatile boss? this is sadly the not the truth about george washington and i hope it's so lavish and sufficient praise to washington's courage, 42, patriotism, integrity and a thousand other wonderful traits. this is not a debunking the book. my book is an effort to try to create the charisma that got lost some howling translation to posterity. hamilton, his comments began to open a window into george washington's emotion. all these strong and powerful emotions swirling around inside him. need

who, would you wave? she knew eleanor roosevelt personally, she visited in the white house as a small child, and her mother, ruby black whose picture you will see as i show my slides, was eleanor roosevelt's first biographer and a person who had an impact on eleanor roosevelt's career in the white house. i'm so pleased that cornelia's with us, and she has brought a couple of prize items from her personal collection which are back there on the table. and she'll tell you about those, but they relate to the visit of the king and queen of england to the roosevelts in 1939. she'll share her experiences during the question and answer period that will follow my remarks. i wonder if there are others in the audience who also have personal recollections of eleanor roosevelt? okay, great. well, during the question and answer period i hope you'll share those too. eleanor is still being written about, you know. she lived from 1884 to 1962, but here we have at least three books that i know of and perhaps there are more

i was chatting with a woman who worked there about the trees. she said the town gardener put in a lot of effort confining that tree to the square because otherwise it would keep growing until the tree cracked the foundations of every nearby building and toppling everything in its path. their tendency to crowd out and destroy its neighbored earned it the nickname strangler fig. [laughter] this was built in the post 1815 statehood architectural style i think as a brady brutalism. our park appears in an old black and white photograph on display there. the picture was taken in the summer of 1898, a few days after the sons of missionaries who had dethrowned the hawaii queen handed over hawaii to the united states. the park is pitched with the tents of the first new york voluntary infantry. the spanish american war had soldiers stopping off in this suddenly american city on route to the philippines to persuade the people at gown point that south government really suspect for everyone.

the only people who speak the truth are children and people who have had too much to drink. that's called wisdom. you think about it. i am going to share one more thing. i will speak briefly on the concepts of that. if i asked you right now, ladies and gentlemen, how many of you would have considered yourself at risk? could you raise your hands. and there was probably a lot of pain with that, huh. in the book i wrote. i interviewed 60 role models and all of them were at risk astronauts. it made us who we are. i have scars. i have a doctorate, but also scars. wisdom comes from making mistakes. i have made a lot of mistakes ladies and gentlemen. i am going to speak about collaboration. i am going to talk about the role of expectations. i will speak to the value of hope. because when you're in an ugly situation. hope means so much. it's a global concept. in the research i do with resilience of children. close your eyes. bear with me. go ahead and hope them. i am not going to take you through a visiblization. i charge for that. some of you did not close your eyes. you looked at

if there is any other speakers who would like to speak who haven't given a card, line up there. otherwise, i will be closing public comment after nina. >> thank you for having me. i was born and raised in san francisco. my mother is actually an immigration consultant. i think growing up here, it was very aparent a, how much more vibrant this community because of the immigrants who are here. i graduated from laurel high school, which is the school where the majority of students are students of color. apart from my caucasian friend, i don't think a single one of my friends came from a non-immigrant family. the other thing growing up in this climate is how polarizing the issue is. it seems like there has been a battle between people who are pro immigration and people who are anti-immigration. but i think, especially seeing all the faces here, just putting faces on this issue makes it so there aren't two sides to this people, that there are two grooms of people opposed to each other. somewhere down the line, all of us came here at some point, except the native americans. but yeah, i

they have very dedicated owner/operators who are, who have been trying a number of different initiatives i did not find that anybody anywhere has hit on a kind of home run solution to, to keeping their store successful. it's more a matter to borrow a baseball analogy of hitting singles and doubles and getting on base. and in looking at politics and prose, i came away reassured that this store has many of the attributes for success that other stores around the country have, particularly that very low call -- loyal customer base, a large number of avid readers and a great reputation that still has a lot of unrealized value in it. >> host: now, barbara meade and the late carla cohen were very well known for working the floor at politics and prose. if, if booktv viewers who have come to p and p because they've seen it so often on our channel come to visit politics and prose if they're in washington touring, will they be able to meet you and lissa muscatine? will you be on the floor? >> guest: sure, sure. lissa and i intend to be at the store full time. but, you know, one of the other great s

in the first paper of the federalist papers, and it was a frenchman who came over here who talked about that, and his name was de tocqueville we have a senator guest with us this evening, and if you could give him a great iowa welcome to rand paul. ♪ >> my song -- my son robert was playing. that was really exciting. the one thing you will know within five minutes of senator grassley is that he cares about iowa, and there is nothing false or disingenuous about senator grassley. you are very lucky. and the other senator, are you about to say anything about him? there is sort of a debate, and i try to say, "you know what? we could buy a lot more if we did not have to pay scale wages in iowa or kentucky." i do not think i got anywhere. so when i got to iowa, the governor was very nice, and he invited me over to the capital, and you know where i am. i am in a double wide trailer in washington. i have seen his office, and i have seen my office, and it is hard to budget out of there, because i have seen his office. there are some who want to stay here and take care of iowa, and that is great,

there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol or their hepatitis b. we actually provide group medical visits and group education classes and meeting people who have similar chronic illnesses as you do really helps you understand that you are not alone in dealing with this. and it validates the experiences that you have and so you learn from each other. >> i think it's very important to try to be in tune with the needs of the community and a lot of our patients have -- a lot of our patients are actually immigrants who have a lot of competing priorities, family issues, child care issues, maybe not being able to find work or finding work and not being insured and health care sometimes isn't the top priority for them. we need to understand that so that we can help them take care of themselves physically and emotionally to deal with all these other things. they also have to be working through with people living longer and living with more chronic conditions i think we're going to see more patie

who works for you? who are you involved with? who are your employees? where are you even based? none of these things get answered. .et's ask some more questions what is your relationship with the holocaust deniers who says he was an employee of yours? what about what the public should know and what they should not prove governments are elected. you are not. finally, who guards the guardians? or in this case, who guards the guardians guardian? it seems to me tht -- that wikileaks is not the best place for this to be. you said there was a conspiracy against you, which included an editor, and then you said that they were jewish. and then when he was not, you said his thoughts were jewish. i am coming back to the point, i assure you. all of the rest of your attributes aside, somebody who has gone so far with the conspiracy theory, whether you are really better place than any government to decide what these ladies and gentlemen and i and all of us do know? thank you. 2 -- [applause] bonds >> the assistant director for the henry the jackson 5 to. we are running out of time, but, julia

these are people who are living in queens in 1965 who feel that they need to be recognized by the world to mean something. and they're not. and it's about that desperation, that need. that's one of the things. >> charlie: once a director always a director. what was it about? >> what was it about? it's about the fact that i wrote it, the fact that i was in my 20's, yale drama school, i knew how to write a play with nothing to write about out of the reserves, i had nothing to write about. i had to go out into the world to find my subject. this will be a serious subject out there waiting for me to come about. john guare with cairo, i used that as my address. when i finally, i was hitchhiking for months and months. when i was in rome in october, i looked in the front page and there was the pope. there was queen's boulevard and the pope on queen's boulevard. the one day i come to rome. he's there in queens. i got to cairo weeks, weeks lot. there was a letter from my father and father who never wrote. i never had letters from them. we would talk on the phone or i was home. they were furious a

but then the extremist took over because in fluid situation the people who gained power are those who are the most organized and the most ruthless. and my sphere that these democrats could open the door in various places in the middle east but others will rush in there to get power and they could be worse than the people who rule those countries now. we have that great moment of hope in glurp the 1920s only to see stall lib and hitler and mussolini and the like. and there is this danger. i'm in favor of nurturing what is involved in middle east but i'm also in favor of keeping my eyes open. i'm not going to put my boots on the ground far day and proclaim democracy to be the future of that part of the world. >> can i had one point? i share your fear, you are right to have fear but we can have also hope and we can help the hope to exist. you say the empire's... you have another example. you have the revolution of 1989. we had fears and we had hope and hope prevailed in eastern europe and in central europe thank god because of america, because of pope john paul ii. >> rose: i have to go

>> guest: who knows?he cap last year. >> host: you don't have -- kind of an optimal figure. >> guest: i would bring the principle of charters into the system. i would do that and i would do something else. and joel kline has worked to do exactly this and this is what they have done in new orleans. the bottom line is whenever you see one of these transformational school, always they are run by someone who feels deep passionate commitment and full ownership over ensuring their kids get on a different path. if they don't have the freedom they take the freedom to do whatever it takes to get to the end results. we really need to ground our policy in an understanding of that dynamic and the implication is central system would send an immense amount of energy with real leadership which is a process. you can't have a great leaders like recruiting them into the classroom, keep some of them in the classroom and leadership roles and what not. we need to obsess over talent developments like any organization does but

who are more invested in change. it is a way of connecting with people and getting stories out. >> i am not sure the most effective way to communicate the message, but part of the message that jonathan is talking about, most of the victims and people accused of crime coming from the same place -- part of the message that needs to get up there, talking about justice and all that, it is meaningful to folks like us, but it does not play all that well with people who are afraid of crime, people who are out of work. part of the message has to become it seems to me, going back to the sources of crime, not from an economic point of view, if you want to save money, you should do things that effectively will fight crime, as opposed to making you feel tougher and stronger. also, if you can get part of the message out that it is a tragedy when anyone is wrongfully convicted, for that person, for their family and friends, but the other part is, if there are wrongfully convicted, there is somebody out there who is actually the cr

who then wrote books. talk about some of those books >> guest: it was a fascinating one thing i want to mention also to give credit where credit is due to the african-american newspapers had wonderful coverage of presidents, but much different from what the mainstream or white press, so there were some wonderful stories come investigative reporting for instance on franklin roosevelt's home in warm springs georgia and how he was treating the black and white different and the jobs they were doing. a lot of great work was doing by the african-american press i wanted to give credit to. as far as the people in the white house, there are diaries and interviews and books that they've written and as you have mentioned very early on there was a slave named paul jennings who wrote about these experiences in the white house and published a book about it that was interesting. there was a couple of people who worked for president clinton will actually gave interviews in a limited way at the time, but very fascinating a

who would love to attack iran and there are others who would like to take over the iranian opposition i think they know that the iranian opposition is not so fond of the united states they have a long memory in iran people remember the role of the united states in overthrowing the the precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of most of their back in one hundred fifty three so i don't think the u.s. would be welcomed and i think many in washington know that libya being torn apart by the war and anti-government protests gaining momentum in syria the question on everyone's mind is who might be next i'm going to check our reporting from washington. and who might be next a lot of geopolitical strategic interests aptly in the region earlier i was joined by stephens yunus professor of politics and chair of middle eastern studies at the university of san francisco and i asked him what the motives were behind u.s. military involvement in libya and what it means for syria here's what he had to say . this is an effort that least initially the west thought

i have a lot of women friends who are very supportive. one of my nine years s of the white house once a month i have high tea with a friend who was a psychiatrist we talked about why she did not have to give me medication but talk to a friend that i respected to mull things over. be true to yourself. my form of leadership maybe different than yours orught somebody else but we have to els find their own voice to be comfortable in their own com skin with their own voice to speak up. stand up and stand out with people who are comfortable and what i p stand for and then tell people to get over, it.i'ie i will not die on you.big we have to educate the people it will not be such a big deal to have such a woman white house doctor. it is not a big deal that we have many of them. when women open doors to shatters ceilings come only those stores open and hand the hammer to the next woman. do not just be the first but amidst all these things you still have to maintain your humility. one of the things i talksecr about is my secret of success i grew u

telling american the world why we must intervene in libya what might disagree with his decision but who can do that the evidence that he used to build the case to oppose the bloodbath it was everywhere before our eyes this was not true of bush and iraq eight years ago the comparison as i say is odious the reasons bush concocted for going to war didn't pass the sniff test bush and cheney told the world that iraqi leader saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction that he was giving them to terrorists that we be greeted as liberators they had a broadly that saddam was and i'm not eleven and none of this was true now with my friends on the right what you believe bush and cheney are such things in good space . they're welcome to that but still these were some obvious lies manifestly time for bribery a man curveball code named curveball just last and the recent few weeks has acknowledged that he lied. there was a lot of evidence that a man named al libi lied and probably ok but you know i'm not accusing i'm not accusing mr obama of line ok and i'm not yet anyway if i go to bill i mean if

and who were those original tea party years, who were the men on the ships, who head off the explosion that sparked the revolution and helped bring down one entire and create another? , who boarded the ships and dumped devotee in boston harbor, sam adams, hancock at the time they swore never to reveal each other's names to prevent their arrest for treason and immediate death on the gallows. while the names remain secret for decades after the two-party but now the in my new book. i believe the list will surprise you. when the irony of to party have never is that none of those who don't the tea into boston harbor rose to prominence in the government of the nation that emerges from the revolution and because the kind of men who lead the revolution and destroy governments, the road, pierre and france, sam adams' in america, seldom have the qualities needed to organize and build a new government or nation. come their instincts are to destroy and killed and the second irony of the revolution that the tea party sparked is that instead of eliminating the taxation it increased ten thousandfold.

who needs to get around.ow, in the developing world, cities provide an even more important path out of poverty and gondhi talked about how the future was in her abilities, but this is plainly nonsense. the future of india which are the ways to connect with the outside world that are the places where poor indians become middle income indians come and if you -- it is unquestionably true that life is enormously difficult. a life none of us would want to live for today live alone many years. there's still reasons why people come there. it beats the poverty deprivation of the world in the northeast of brazil. it beats living in the world in which time seems to stand still and infant mortality is endemic and the cities provide that promise. now it doesn't mean the city's dhaka actually create challenges and the water plant that if we are close enough to exchange ideas where we are close enough to inspect each other with a disease and close enough to sold to a newspaper in close enough to radhi and that is the point

one top story today musical chairs and multiple changes in terms of who heads who some of this country's most powerful institutions president barack obama is expected to announce a major change this week we've known of course for quite some time that secretary of defense robert gates will be leaving all turns out his replacement will most likely be leon panetta currently the director of the central intelligence agency in terms of who will fill his position well it looks like general david petraeus the top american commander in afghanistan is the man for that job so what should we make of this shake up i asked that question to lieutenant colonel tony shaffer senior fellow at the center for advanced defense studies. what we're seeing is a a a dance of political geometry. the problem is and you've mentioned before this is almost like just changing chairs some of according to you know changing moving pictures around the titanic which i don't quite agree with the problem is i think we set up an echo chamber and having people simply move jobs around is not going to be a lot of good but the pro

it is a fraction of those who we are moving -- removing who are detained. that is by public safety determinations. there are other priorities such as individuals who have come across or been removed previous times. it would be misleading to say that the majority are in detention. that is not accurate. >> i want to mention one thing in response to the introduction. i think it was a comment that the emphasis has been on the enforcement and not immigration reform. there has been devotion to enforcement. the department is funded for that and there is an obligation to go forward. it is an enormous amount of work that was done on comprehensive immigration reform from the first week of the administration. it proved not possible to put together the right combination largely because of the inability to get a second republican co- sponsor in the senate. there is background work that has been done. there are more steps that we're taking with a lot of hours. i would also take issue and pose a question. i do not think it is quite fair to say it has been a national secur

creates a surplus in just an year break down the numbers of the people plus plus if you ever wonder who's behind the wheel of the plan to run over unionized workers here's a hint it's the same group that gave michigan governor rick snyder the idea to fire his state's alike this visuals and his city staff and our union workers to blame for america's debt i'll talk to the author who wrote it in higher books backing that up and. there's a lot of talk about budget plans around capitol hill these days most of that talk is focus on two budget plans in particular president obama's was trimming down the deficit by repealing the bush tax cuts cutting and also tragically cutting spending on critical government services that help the poor and the republicans budget written by paul ryan that cuts down the deficit sora by privatizing medicare cutting even more government programs that help the poor and somehow includes another massive tax cut for millionaires and billionaires and while these two budgets have garnered most of the attention in the mainstream media there's another third budget that's flo

women who went to college were less likely to drop out before graduation than men. but by the 1950's and early 60's they were twice as likely to drop out as men. women were dropping out. it wasn't natural to like your education very much directly to homemaking. women who attended college in the 1950's and the early 1960's were especially likely to to be taught for scientific so-called scientific views of the psychiatrists and functional sociologists and and one to the morning and life and she found in the kitchen to the ticket and industry psychological psychiatrist said women to give up their aspirations, voluntarily. it allegedly because a normal woman finds her greatest satisfaction and her husband's achievement. magazines targeted to both blue-collar women and middle class women in that era and also educated black women it was the one targeted to educated white middle class women who were the most likely to promote the views of the freudian psychologists and other human behavior experts about what are healthy and unhealthy gender roles and so the result was that

who would he be? >> we needed to protect -- perfect the process so that once the board asked us for that process, we could actually have something in place that was well tested that we could provide to them. >> mayor newsom would be sworn in as lieutenant governor in early january. so the board of supervisors had barely two months after the november election to select an interim mayor to complete gavin newsom's term. but how would the board do this? san francisco's charter guided -- offered little guidance. >> although it was obvious we would appoint an interim mayor, there was no time line for the two to occur. we looked to outside counsel for answers. they researched those questions. while they researched the legal angle, we began the research on the parliamentary level. at the beginning of the calendar year 2010, we started to craft a generic process for a successor for mayor. being a parliamentarian of the board, i have been working on the process itself. i have been working with two one and parli

there is a woman who has five kids. she is a nurse. one beautiful spring day she is sitting on the stoop, and she is reading of friends hair, and the police say, do believe -- she is braiding of friends hair, and the police say, and you realize there is a no loitering sign, and she offered to get off, and they arrest her. they bring her before the judge, and they give her a $25,000 bail. she is never given an attorney, and she sits in jail for eight days. she has a relative take care of her five kids. eventually, she comes before the judge. the judge says, we will give you a couple hundred dollars as a fine, if you plead guilty, and we will call it a day. she says ok. she pleads guilty, and she thinks to herself, i will never pay the fine, and she gets the guy who also pleaded guilty, and they have a big party. they thing, this is all over with, and a couple minutes -- a couple years later she applies for public housing, and she is rejected because she has a criminal record. she had been loitering that day, and she is not eligible for

i wonder who? on the day of march 1st in the 5th year after the second millennium, a massacre took place in babylon. it's my pleasure it introduce the next poet, george evans. . >> first, i would like to read a poem by my dear friend and wife, daisy samora, who was to be here today but is in nicaragua, keeping in mind what michael said about jorge and casablanca, i will read it in her language or my spanish first, then in translation. it's a poem directly addressed to poets but certainly to activists as well. (speaking spanish) no man's land. we are a mine field of clarity and whoever crosses the barbed wire comes back to life. but who is interested in crawling through undergrowth? who dares sail a tempest? who wants to come face to face with purity? that's why we're fenced off in this no man's land under permanent cross fire. three bomb holes. flag study. red. she walks into the bright vegetable garden, chopped water to life from brittle landscape, leans her hoe against goat wire, admires shoots b
