most people don't even know what steven spielberg looks like, but you know what woody allen looks like he's appeared in his films like alfred hitchcock or he's made a cameo with his films, plus the character i play, mars black in "she's gotta have it." that whole thing with nike was a mistake. i played this character mars black who wore nikes and even when he made love to nola, he didn't take off his jordans, he kept them on and two kinds of nikes, advertising agency kennedy, they saw the film and went to michael jordan and said we should do this. and, of course, mike didn't know who i was. he had not seen the film yet and he could easily have squashed that and just gone with some, whoever the hottest white director was out at the time, but he gave me a shot and so at that point, you know, we did, like, eight years. that really blew -- nike blew up after that. people don't give philip knight credit for that because with the exception of aunt jemima and uncle ben's -- uncle ben's rice, white america has never really put a black person as a face of their company and philip knight did tha

he's almost like selig, woody allen's selig. he is some of the main evens the american revolution, the major battles and all of that and it has a happy ending. he does become a free black in delinquent at the end of the war. >> and finally, comanche empire. >> comanche empire is the one we are most proud of. he received his degree from university of helsinki and did an astounding study of the comanche from 1700 to 1850, so it's got 150 years of time frame for the coming and she completely dominated the southwest and de -- what comes through is their intelligence, their decentralized political organization, their escape from disease because they were nomadic. they would insulate whoever they captured but if you wanted to become a comanche they had kinship rituals and you could just become a comanches of the members swelled and they were the largest group, they were the first to understand the horse and its importance in the western economy and the buffalo, and so they were very well armed, well funded and very smart. and so they

perhaps with a dash of woody allen. the scope of the scandal, complete with a plot to traffic human organs is shocking even for a state that's synonymous with this. ron is following the story. >>> 33 mayors, two state legislatures and the five rabbis, the latest installment in history and some would say tradition of political corruption in new jersey. >> reporter: the scandal is breathtaking in scope. 44 people indicted, including three mayors, two state legislators and five rabbis and allegations of money laundering, kickbacks and bribe-taking. >> it is about crime, corruption, it is about arrogance. it is about a shocking betrayal of the public interest. >> reporter: and yet, for many people who live in new jersey there is something almost depressingly familiar about it. >> it's embarrassing but i guess you get numb to it after a while. >> the state has a reputation fairly or unfairly for political corruption. why is that, do you think? >> because it's been corrupt. >> reporter: if some people have a sense of deja vu,

. >> woody allen was hot for many years. >> i don't think that was it. >> i played the trumpet in theg band and the french horn in the concert band. >> that's not such a cool instrument. >> that was off the chain cool. what are you talking about? >> if you're playing it's cool. in our school it was not cool. >> really? people looked at it and went that's an interesting looking thing because it had all the valves and curls in it. if you straighten out the french horn it's about 22 feet. >> i learned that at the movies last night, they put it up on the screen. >> really? >> for no apparent reason. >> you were waiting for the movie to start, stupid things they show -- >> i have to say that i feel like you have invaded my brain somehow and took that information out of it. >> just the opposite. at my high school the band was enormously hip because we mar -- because we were marching finds. i don't know if you have seen florida a&m, you know, black colleges have awesome bands. >> yeah. >> our high school band was like that so we were like as popular as football players and basketball players

. >> and his -- and it's a woody allen thing. because they raised the child he and his wife hit-and-runna -- he and his wife. >> they went to some dinner thing and they both had too much to drink and he came on to her and she was frighten and and then she -- and then gave him some risque pictures. and then the wife found out and forbid him and he said he would stay away. >> i think there would be a backlash against morgan freeman. >> this is a crazy story. >> oh, yeah. >> and it's one thing for it to be his step grandchild, that whole relationship thing is not good. >> because he raised her. >> but the pure age difference of 72 and 27. what kind of -- >> and i've never taken a picture like that with grandpa. [ laughter ] >>> we have -- we have another story. we're -- we'll wait. >> we'll move on. >> it's a good one too. >> who is doing it? >> i am. i have to wait until it gets up there. >>> in sports, the nationals continue to stumble toward the all-star break. they were looking to steal a game from the rockies last night but sta

when perfectly analogized by a blogger, judge sotomayor experienced a real-life version of what woody allenall moment. >> in the past, you've repeatedly said this -- i wonder whether achieving the goal of impartiality is possible at all in even most cases and i wonder whether by ignoring our differences, as women, men, or people of color, we do a disservice to both the law and society. i will just note, you made that statement in individual speeches about seven times over a number of years' span, and it's concerning to me. so i would just say to you, i believe in judge cedarbaum's formulation. >> my friend, judge cedarbaum is here this afternoon, and we are good friends, and i believe that we both approach judging in the same way, which is looking at the facts of each individual case and applying the law to those facts. >> happen to have mr. mccluen right here. and now you're getting an idea why senator sessions was rejected in this committee in 1996 for a federal judgeship. despite sotomayor's many explanations that included the full context of her speech and otherwise answering senator se

we don't want to tear the fabric or community apart and say who's your father, have a woody allen movieere are father? if someone says they're married and this is their child and present to the world it's their child, we're going to assume that and presume that. and we don't want to go against that. and therefore, those two children are michael jackson's children, and in california, if you have these children and you present them to the world for more than two years, there's a very strong presumption they're your children. and the one thing here that's a fly in the ointment is i wish joe jackson, his ego was a little bit softer because he's throwing fire out there by claiming he's going to become the manager of these children. he should just be the grandfather for these children. >> larry: couldn't debbie rowe, if she makes -- all hypothetical, we don't know what we're talking about. no one knows -- >> that didn't stop us any night the last three weeks. >> larry: keep it up. that never stopped us before. why stop now? couldn't debbie rowe come forward and say, hey, wait a minute, the gr

you know, there's the woody allen joked about how the guy says i have to get back in italy because the renaissance is beginning. it's nothing like that but there is a pit and you can see in retrospect things did change. so i worked very hard making the first chapter a summary with the book is about so i am going to read from that although i'm going to lead out -- if you are reading along i'm going to leave out little bits that slow things down a little bit in the oral reading. on january 2nd, 1959 a soviet rocket carrying a space capsule also known as mistha, the dream, blasted to the magical speech known as is to the philosophy, sailed past the moon and pushed through orifice orbit becoming the first man-made object to revolve around the sun among the celestial bodies. time magazine held the feet as a turning point in the multi-billion year history of the silver system. for one of the sun's plan that at least a fault a living creature that could break the chain of its gravitational field. the flight of debate kosoff a deer win chains or broken off with apprehension not just in the cos

when there is woody allen who runs in and out of the narrative. john wayne dies and ron reagan and jimmy carter tried to say that he was there ever hear of. if there is what is known as the disco demolition rally in chicago where tons of stones kids run onto the baseball field in the middle of a double header is are tearing up the turf and lighting the place on fire and line of disco records, this is fantastic stuff. bill clinton makes an appearance at to make carter's famous domestic summit and gives advice to the president's. the uav band have body turns disco during this time when investor law and i don't talk about the specifics on this, there is the killer rabbit is in it which is one of the best incidents in american history in nashua correlates with the time i'm dealing with here. so my intention is to tell a story i think has an entertainment aspect to eds what i also hope has a kind of serious element to it as well if that is i think again in a speech is part of a turning points. it is time to examine the turning point and ask serious que

a cross between russell crowe and woody allen if you can imagine that. and the writing is fabulously over the top and she's discovered his relocation at this moment and he utterly false in love with -- and is deeply moved by everything the blacks have gone through, their story right from sometimes you know some of them who remember having been children taken in slavery to africa but he particularly is moved by the stories of the escape by everything they have endured by what's happened to them and frozen of the scotia and i just want to and he has won -- he ends up mobilizing, outbidding i should say, this 15 ship fleet. he travels in the hospital ship because he knows very well the last time many of these africans actually experience the atlantic ocean was of course on the middle passage of sleeves so he's determined that they should not, you know, undergo any form of that trauma again. so, he lays down careful specification about food, about medical treatment and distance between the decks and ventilation and sanitation. he's so expecting it takes fore
