as you have already heard kennan was a diplomat, scholar and a prize-winning author, the emanate yale historian john lewis gaddis has spent 30 years writing his biography just out in the last few months. he calls kennan and american life, subject we will be discussing today. we will talk even more about the 700 page book, one whose grand sweep rents all the way from prison on the eve of world war ii, stalin's show trial, the devastation of post-war japan, the intrigues of dean acheson state department, the bitter politics of vietnam and the personal life of a respected but i think it's fair to say somewhat tormented intellectual. kennan today of course is best remembered as the architect of convenience a phrase that if you google him will inevitably come up linked with his name. he express that of course and his famous mr. x article back in 1947, but he made many other contributions for practically inventing the serious study inside the american government, to helping to create intellectual framework for the marshall plan. he was the first and probably the most accomplished head of th

more recent studies include yale researcher dr. william galo who released a study in 20 06 78 and that found that results suggest that the true cost of late career unemployment exceed financial deprivation and include substantial health consequences. unemployment's health impact on children is also discussed in the report. the national center for health statistics has found that children in poor families were four times as likely to be in fair or poor health as children in families that were not poor. the research in the report speaks for itself. the concern about unemployment's impact on public health is a concern for at least one former obama white house official. as reported in "the new york times" on november 17th of last year, white house chief of staff william daley asked one interest group lobbying for stricter epa rules, an interest group lobbying the administration for even stricter epa rules, mr. daley said, quote, what are the health impacts of unemployment? i and my colleagues in congress have urged the epa to seriously

physics i ended up majoring in physics and applied math but i went on to study theoretical physics at yale university i started out i was going to be a theoretical physicist so was the late one nine hundred eighty s. and there were some things going on and they had to cut funding for the so-called super super connecting super collider and so suddenly there wasn't nearly as much funding in physics anymore it was much more difficult to just work on any problem that you wanted to work on this was a lot of hits right and so you ended up getting sort of funneled into increasingly specific and sort of smaller science in the big picture stuff that i had imagined working on and i realized at that time but at the same university just down the hill from the physics department. geology and geophysics there were people who were using math and physics to try to solve this amazing problem understanding to wait earth's climate works and i got very excited about hey maybe i can use my math and physics and study earth's climate system that's how i got into this so at what point did scientists seriously who

as a former colleague of mine at yale once said, we want our students to leave with a degree, not with a rap sheet. soap we're very interested in trying to address this. obviously the complaints the students to potential negative issues. it also exposes the university as well. and the university has a responsibility to try to minimize their exposure. i mean, the hope of all of us here is if we can get our students to fundamentally change their behavior, at least in the time that they're with us, before they go out and hopefully become gainfully employed we'll make a substantive and permanent difference in people's behavior over time. next. so let me run through quickly the concepts of the hall pass program. the basic program is to comply with the higher education opportunity act of 2008. and you heard the three components that were involved with that. the hall pass program is focused on number one and number two. the number three issue i think as joe pointed out, there's promising developments. those go on beyond what cils can necessarily address. we decided to pilot the program in spr

this is like the yale class of 42 endorsing the class of harvard -- >> well, that is pretty significant. >> that is true. but outside of there, people were less moved. it's the marco rubio -- it's that endorsement that kind of signals to the republican party that look this is over. let's wrap this thing up and let's move forward. >> rubio is significant because he is the far right wing and latino. but is the latino vote in florida going to be help, as in arizona, and some of the other swing states? >> well, you wonder how much some of the leading republican strategists even are aware of that. but the difference is -- the cuban immigrant experience is a unique one. you know if you've come up through mexico or south america you have a much more similar story than somebody that came from cuba because -- first of all there's direct public policy and that's the dry foot policy, where if you get here anyway possible in the last 40 years, you can stay. >> right. >> secondly the types of people that came from cuba, were people who were kind -- who were in the ruling class and they were fleeing

according to transcripts of kgb files that have been published by yale university press in 2009, ernest was pitched in early 1941 probably in new york city, possibly in january by a man named jacob golos. and golos wrote back to moscow he had recruited ernest hemming way as a soviet spy. and that ernest had agreed to cooperate for id logical reasons. he added that ernest had accepted contact instructions for the next clandestine meetings. as far as i can tell from the traffic, these were material contract instructions. probably something like a jell-o box that had been cut in a certain pattern. the person who you were meeting would have the other half. and that's how you know you have the right person. how could this be? i'm a life long hemingway fan. i found this out by accident. when i'm doing research i like to troll in the waters next to the ones i'm fishing. i thought what the hell. let's see what kgb what up to in the united states around this time. so i went and looked at his book. i went holy homoly, it says ernt hemingway was a russian spy. you know, people who like -- a lot of

what to do in syria, i'm of like mind with senator mccain except reference of the brave graduates of yale university, i'll have to talk to him later about that. and perhaps we were of like mind because we went through in the '90s together the similar circumstances in bosnia and kosovo, i would say and in each case, the american entrance i o conflict was late. in my opinion the argument for the united states to be involved and help lead an international effort, which is military, to stop the slaughter in syria are actually greater than they were in the case of either bosnia or kosovo, there's as great as those were, there's the humantarian crisis, he is slaughtering his people and for all we noelle keep doing and not -- for all we know, he will keep doing it. we agree on this, how positive it would be if assad, who is the only ally of iran, is taken down, and how liberating to those that live under syrian pressure, and perhaps this is unique and different and we are not giving it enough weight. in our foreign policy, we have done a lot of things over the years inclu sins which youing i yea

he went to harvard and yale and decided to join the marine corps as an officer. patriotically served this nation defending in iraq. as a result of being close with his wife and seeing the egregious harassment she endured, seeing the rape and the aftermath of retaliation, ben decided that he would better serve this nation by leaving military service in order to join with his wife and all of us here to fight for reform in the military. so i just want to applaud ben and thank him for all his support. i would now like to introduce elle helmer. >> good morning. my name is elle helmer. i'm speaking to you as a rape survivor and an advocate for reform and justice. before i begin, i'd like to thank susan for giving us the ability to change. for giving reform a chance as well. amy and kirby who were the producers behind "the invisible war" for giving us a voice and for raising awareness. jonathan, my fiance. i'd like to thank the service members who are in active duty and protecting us right now. in no way do i bear any bitterness towards the military as a whole. what we
